Little People fans call Zach & Tori Roloff ‘PETTY’ for refusing to let Matt babysit their kids amid feud over $4M farm
LITTLE People fans have called out Zach and Tori Roloff for being “petty” by refusing to let Matt babysit their kids amid their feud over the $4million farm.
Zach, 32, appeared to have a heart-to-heart talk with his father Matt, 60.
During the emotional scene from Little People, Big World, Zach announced the new addition of baby boy Josiah.
The reality star and his wife, Tori, 31, share two other children: Lilah, two, and Jackson, five.
Zach said: “We have a third dwarf baby on the way.”
Matt replied: “Confirmed?”
Zach nodded and repeated: “Confirmed.”

Zach’s father jumped at the chance at babysitting his grandkids.
He said: “If you’re up for babysitting, I would drive up overnight or whatever.
In a confessional, Matt revealed: “Before they moved, I would watch the kids a couple of times a week. Have them for overnights.”
Matt concluded: “It’s been a while since they moved up to Battleground. If it happens, I would definitely look forward to it.”

Unfortunately, Zach appeared upset and realized: “Even though our relationship is in a better spot, I don’t think that’s a realistic option right now.
“We obviously want him in our kids’ lives. But how the relationship was before, I don’t think we’re there.”
THE COMMENTS
LPBW fans were disappointed with Zach’s “petty and awful” decision to reject his father’s offer to babysit his three children.
In the comments sections, fans became divided as they argued whether or not the father/son should put aside their egos – for the sake of the grandchildren – amid the sale of the family farm.
One critic sided with Zach’s father: “They still let Matt see the grandkids. It’s just on their terms and on their turf. Why shouldn’t he babysit?”
Another critic sided with the couple and noted: “Zach and Tori were deeply hurt and insulted by whatever went on in the negotiations for the farm.”
A third critic added: “They aren’t keeping the kids from Matt. They’re just not giving them unsupervised access. Perfectly understandable.”
A fourth person shared: “Matt didn’t care about the relationship with his kids every time he left a vacation early. He ran away instead of dealing with the issue like an adult.
“It’s sad but not surprising that Zach mimics that behavior in a way.”
A commentator chimed in: ” I don’t think Matt is toxic. This is not an abusive situation.
“Zach and Tori don’t like they were told no and they are withholding their kids as revenge. Zach and Tori are the ones being toxic.”
THE TENSION
The Roloff patriarch is asking for about $4million with the sale of the Oregon farmhouse, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Matt also threw shade at his own children, including Zach, after fans criticized him for not selling the farm to his family.
