Our Little Family (2015)
The mother RULES
I have been watching little people shows for many years. We love the Roloffs and Arnold-Klein families! So it's not that I have anything against little people. The first time watching, I couldn't get passed the first 10 minutes of the episode. I was so put off by the mom of this household. I was outraged by the way she spoke to her husband! It was crazy disrespectful! It sounded like she would've been talking to her small children. I have a toddler myself and there's definitely a way I speak to my child and a very different way I communicate with my husband! The two should not sound the same!! Especially not while disciplining. After I turned the episode off, I started looking up reviews to see what others thought of this family. Obviously I'm catching old reruns of the show. I didn't know about it during its original run. I read about Michelle and her freak out at the Lincoln Memorial. I was curious to see that. I read Michelle's "excuse" for her telling people not to take pictures. The excuse she gave was no pictures were allowed to be taken at the memorial so she was so politely letting people know that taking pictures was against the rules. Knowing this ahead of time, I watched the episode extra careful! She flat out tells Dan she doesn't want strangers taking pictures of their kids. It had nothing to do with a rule people were breaking. Your family is all little and you have your own tv show because of it, meaning you're different. Not to mention the camera crew following y'all. Come on! You're asking for attention! You can't have it both ways. I will agree, it's not the most polite thing for people to do but you've put your family in the spotlight. That's an inevitable consequence. Since then I've caught a few other parts of a couple episodes. Once again, the way she spoke to her husband when he and the kids were trying to practice their putting was disrespectful! She spoke to him no differently than when she's fussing at her children. It made me cringe!! In the little bits I've watched, I'm more annoyed by the mom than anything. There's also no on screen chemistry between the couple. They give off a very awkward vibe that's uncomfortable! Their kids also seem to be very whiny and cry a lot! At least in the parts I've seen! I just find this show to be irritating on all fronts! I've never left a review on imdb. That's how much I dislike this show. I'm so glad it was cancelled! I'm not sure why TLC re-airs episodes at 4-6am some mornings. Those are the mornings I definitely shut the tv off and go to sleep! It would be awesome if they would air old episodes of Little People Big World.. a show that is still airing new episodes! Just my opinion!!
