Little People, Big World

Does anyone here watch this show? I really enjoy the show, but I was disappointed to find out that Matt Roloff was arrested on a DUI charge. I really hate to hear that. I like Matt a lot! Amy...not so much - maybe she's why he would drink...?

I watch that show. I actually like Amy she seems like the level headed one, Matt seems so flighty and immature. I'd like to whack a couple of their kids though.

I agree with you on the kids! And, that house! How nasty is that?

Molly does knit, though, that's cool. I think Matt's mom taught her.

Yeah, I heard about that last night on our news. It's amazing how disappointed I get when I watch someone's show and really like them and they go and do something so stupid. Why are people that stupid?? I'll never understand. And Matt being such a role model for so many Little people, it's just so disappointing.

As for who I like better, I don't know, they both annoy me sometimes, I just don't like how Amy talks to Matt in front of their kids. She's so disrespectful to him. It's fine if she wants to say that stuff in private, not that it's okay to talk to your spouse that way, but at least he could still manage to salvage some dignity behind closed doors.

It's the kids who are going to suffer the most. That Zach talks to his father so terribly. It's just wrong.

I haven't watched the show for a while, but I do like it. I was dissappointed to hear this news too. Like bailsmom said, because he has this show he's a role model for people and this just kind of shatters that. Its too bad.

I could whip that family into shape.

I'd knock some heads together, throw out all the lazy teenager friends just hanging out there for camera time and sit that family down for some real communication. Those kids are brats fueled by their parents. It's a shame but I've seen them go from being a kind of nice family to a group of trashy acting people.

You summed that up just right for me!

And I agree about his being a role model. Ironically, they just released a book about family values.

Okay - I just had an attack of conscience. I started this thread, and I was thinking that because Molly knits, she might find this forum. I would hate for her to come here for knitting help and see disparaging remarks about her family - do you guys think we should delete this thread? Can you do that?

You should be able to delete it from your end. Under the "edit" function of the original thread.

I understand that you would feel bad if she came here, but nothing any of us has written is false. Or really none of it is mean either. It's what they portray on tv and it's how we all interpret it. It is what it is.......
