Family feud?
WHAT family feud?!?
This is basically what Amy Roloff just said on Facebook, after a few followers of hers either hurled shade at Matt Roloff or at Amy herself for implying that Matt was a bad father.
It all started on Father’s Day this weekend because Amy shared a collage of photos that featured her sons, Zach and Jeremy, both of whom became parents over the past year.
This was the first time each had a chance to be celebrated on a holiday specifically designated for dads.
“Happy Happy Father’s [sic] Day Zach Roloff and Jeremy James Roloff,” wrote the Little People, Big World star as a caption to the following image.
She added:
“I’m so proud of you both and the Dad you are growing into for your son and daughter. It’s the best forever role that keeps blessing you everyday.”
Very sweet and simple, right?
Yes, everyone agrees.
But some also noticed that Amy did not acknowledge her ex-husband on this occasion, despite Matt being the father of her four children.
Matt Roloff and Amy, it ought to be noted, got divorced two years ago, although they remain in very close contact, working together on the family farm and starring together on the aforementioned TLC series.
In response to Facebook comments that called her out for excluding Matt from her well wishes, Amy said the following:
It’s all good. Matt is a good father and we’re both a part of our kids and we both love them greatly.
This certainly does appear to be the case.
Matt has filled up his social media feeds with photos of himself, his kids and his grandchildren.
However, there has clearly been tension between Matt and Amy on recent episodes of their reality show.
Late last month, for example, Matt blasted Amy as insecure and not business savvy.
Moreover, the romance between Matt and Caryn Chandler has admittedly started to bother Amy a lot.
Then there was last night’s installment of Little People, Big World.
A bulk of this episode centered on last Christmas and the exes trying to decide if they wanted to host one giant family gathering in honor of Jesus Christ’s birthday.
This would have meant Amy and boyfriend Chris Marek hanging out with Matt and Caryn, of course.
“I do not have to be best friends with Matt and Caryn,” Amy told the camera at one point. “In fact, I don’t even have to be friends with them, but I try to be respectful for the sake of my kids.”
Matt and Chandler felt similarly hesitant about getting everyone together for the party, but the former seemed a tad bit more open about building a friendship with his ex-wife down the line.
Said Matt:
“Obviously a lot of divorces, there’s all this tension and stuff and then over time exes become friends, but if Amy were to say, ‘Hey, I don’t want you and your girlfriend here at the farm,"” then we would have to change things.
Despite all that we’ve seen of late, though, Matt insisted awhile ago that everything is great between him and his loved ones.
Amy seems to be echoing that sentiment here — and we’re glad to hear it.
