Here I go, putting out my opinion....Like anyone needs it. Lol. My husband and I take more "traditional roles'' as well. We are farmers, so he is out in the field around the clock or working on machinery. He is the main bread winner, and I am very thankful for that. I am a teacher's aid, and also teach 3rd grade History. However, I am the homemaker. I love it. That is how I was raised, but I fell into the role on my own volition. I choose that role- like Abby. My husband hardly ever cleans the kitchen-but I hardly ever clean the garage, work on the farm machinery, or even mow the lawn. But when one of us can't preform our "tasks" we cross over and help each other. That is what a functioning married couple does. We take care of each other. There are times where he surprises me by cleaning the kitchen for me once in a while, and it makes my day! And there are times where I go out of my way and clean the garage to surprise him. We do that... I don't think that is wrong at all. HOWEVER, Matt and Abby both work from home.....so why does it all fall on Abby? And my husband would be kicked in the pants if he put me on social media while I was going through something so personal. And I really think that Matt is the only one who wants the spot light-I don't think Abby wants this life...maybe I'm wrong. Idk.

[@idontspeakenglish827]

Sounds like a great balance! Some people prefer more defined roles, some others don’t, whatever makes people happy and satisfied. This young couple (or him at least) seems to lack the point, which to me is to care about the other person’s happiness more than whatever role you have in place

[@VV-er3zg]

[@emmaociee]

[@Essiggurke-r2h]

I was raised in a home like this, also on a farm. my mom was happy with it and so was my dad. now that my dad is home more and retiring soon, its becoming more annoying for my mom. we need to find him hobbies that keep him out of the house a little more. also I HATED IT. it is so unfair to put these gender roles on your children. I got to do dishes and laundry and my cousin got to drive the tractor? I can drive a tractor. It might surprise some farmers but you dont need a penis to drive a tractor and hold a power tool :/ also you might think it is even, but the problem is all the emotional labour and mental load that gets put on women that men dont even realise, like sheduling doctors appointments, getting new clothes in the right sizes for the kids,buying the birthday presents for birhtday parties the kids are invited to, always knowing where everything is, basically managing the whole family. they decide they want to take cooking of your table on sunday ad grill so you need to go to the grocery store,the butchers and you also need to prepare all the side dishes,but thank you my good husband for turning a steakform left to right for 10min. oh and cleaning the grill? ... how does a grown man dare to ask a mom with a kid in one hand and trying to do laundry with the other where his wallet is? when he makes formula he makes her check the temp, like at this point i can just do it myself. I would find this kind of incompetence deeply unattractive and offputting. I get that we get nursed into having sever helpers syndrome as traditionally raised women,but come on how can people think that it's more manly to hit something with a hammer than to be able to remember and make your own doctors appointment. how would these men even function by themselves? no wonder married man live longer than single men and single women live longer than married women

[@User2h76wwj4]

This is exactly how we live too! My husband though is so so helpful. He travels baking hay a lot so when he comes back he knows that what I’ve been doing is hard too. Sometimes I’ll be surprised and realize I haven’t done dishes in days, and he’s just doing it for me to be sweet and nice. Matt sucks. I love my husband so much. I’d do anything for him because of how well and kind he treats me. I never have to ask like other women say they do with household stuff. My husband just does it because he is mature enough to know that my job isn’t easy either. We help each other when we’re home

[@martymcflown3707]

Matt getting bent out of shape about his birthday being the same day as Father's Day genuinely baffles me because it's like....the day is still about you, dude. You're mad because a day built around appreciating you focused on appreciating you for being a dad as opposed to appreciating you for being mommy's special birthday boy?

[@Tjax514]

This happens with both me and my husband. My birthday is in May, and usually near Mother's Day, and my husband's birthday is in June and usually on or around Father's Day. You wanna know what we do? We combine them like adults 🙄. These two are incredibly immature on a good day, so his little tantrum about his birthday just added to it.

[@MissaBrevis]

@@Tjax514 Yep. My mom's birthday frequently falls on Mother's Day, and we just sort of work it into things, make some jokes about how the fancy Mother's Day brunch is secretly all in honor of her, put two cards in one envelope for the double holiday, stuff like that. This guy is incredibly immature and entitled and has NO sense of humor.

[@hospitable_ghost]

It's SUCH a red flag when adults are that big into their birthday and it isn't a milestone like 21/30/40/50, etc.

[@sophiejade9293]

how don’t you get it, THEE matt howard NEEDS two separate days of his own!!!!!!!!!!!! jk lol but fr he’s such a child it’s baffling

[@LittleMissLounge]

@@Tjax514 My parents are similar: Mom's birthday is in May and occasionally falls on the same day as Mother's Day. Dad's birthday is in early June, so not too close, but still the same month as Father's Day. They have never had any issues with the inevitable combining because they're not cringe weirdos like Matt.

[@dasha16381]

Does anyone remember the tiktok Matt made where he booked a horseback riding tour for him and Abby THE DAY she got an IUD??? Abby only went bc Matt was guilting her into doing it. The was he was smiling and giddy and filming everything while she was clearly in so much pain was so unsettling. Like I got my IUD and it was one of the most painful things ever for 2 weeks. I can’t imagine my partner being so ignorant and ambivalent to my pain.

[@crescentsandwich7288]

OMG yes I remember seeing that vid a while back! Thanks for detailing it here, a lot of people haven't seen that one 👍 One more receipt showcasing Matt's atrocious behavior 💀

[@disneyprincessintraining2725]

Gonna be honest, I can see my husband doing that just because I’ve gotten an IUD in during a lunch break and gone back to working (I was a CNA at the time) like nothing happened. I have since learned that isn’t a normal response! Seriously though, the difference is if I was in that much discomfort my husband would reschedule or cancel immediately and tend to me.

[@kremmiz1]

Or marriage advice when you’ve been married less than four seconds. My husband and I are married nearly 20 years and I am only recently feeling like I have something to offer in that department.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

@@kremmiz1 I feel the same. Even people who give marriage at the 10 year mark are weird to me cuz marriages commonly end at the 5 and 10 year mark. People need at least 20+ years for me to take them seriously, and I need nitty gritty details that go beyond “just find something to love about them everyday”. Nah, I want to hear what fights are like and how they get through them 😅.

[@kremmiz1]

@ yessss! It’s happened in the last year or two, where people are asking for our advice and at first I was all “wait. Me??!” and then I did the math. Two decades racks up quite a bit of experience and GROWTH. There no freaking way I knew a darn thing years ago.

[@jesskiaunismusic]

Okay also, side note Abby was apparently 8 months pregnant on the birthday she threw for him where she “dropped the ball.” Can you imagine?? I wouldn’t even be throwing my husband a party at 8 months pregnant much less caring if I dropped the ball

[@dianarodriguez5781]

They had also gotten back from their baby moon that day!!

[@cgl-osl_]

What in the actual. Someone needs to shake that girl and wake her up

[@Lynsey17]

Seriously, I just couldn't believe when they started going into what they did do on that day. When they said 'dropped the ball', I was thinking she got him a card and said she was sorry she didn't have a chance to do more. Frankly, a busy week while 8 months pregnant & with a baby at home - in my family you'd be lucky if you got the card. My parents kept one copy of a card for each annual occasion in a cupboard & pulled the relevant one out the morning of. They don't even bother going to get new ones 😂

[@missrosierenee]

Abby literally got him a cake and had their family over to celebrate him. How on earth can he be disappointed?

[@Sam_dea]

I’ve never heard anyone identify that before but you’re SO RIGHT that we have a serious problem with platforming people without ever hearing them speak on anything.

[@dianarodriguez5781]

The worst part about the Father’s Day thing is that she was PREGNANT and they had come back from their baby moon THAT DAY! She planned a cookout in their home for the day they got back from a trip while she was very pregnant. She must have been exhausted and he is still so unappreciative. It makes me so sad when she says she dropped the ball when she actually went above and beyond.

[@victoriapina8895]

I remember the clip from their podcast circulating about how Matt finds their quality of sex to be different and not the same before having kids. Abby was taken aback bc this was the first time she was hearing about it and comes to find out that since their first kid he’s not “disliked” their sex but that it’s not the same (doesn’t feel the same). And you can just see the blood/color from Abby’s face drain. She gets embarrassed/emotional and self conscious. Which rightfully so. Idk that was just a huge turning point for lots of people.

[@Myhusbandrenamedmyhandle]

Yeah this was definitely some that should have been in the podcast because this is something that's so personal. But this is Matt, he loves to throw his wife under the bus and make her feel less than 🤪 But essentially sex after having a baby IS different. And it ranges from marriage to marriage. My husband and I didn't have sex for MONTHS because we were both just SO tired because we're waking up every few hours with a newborn. Once he finally started sleeping through the night and not nursing as often, was when we finally felt normal in our marriage and actually wanted to have sex with each other. Right now it varies because I'm like almost 7 months pregnant and uncomfortable 🥲

i watched a video on matt and abby by kiki chanel as well, and what really made me dislike matt was that he kept saying that abby "cheated" birth by having a c-section... like what

[@Lynsey17]

This is one of the many examples that show American children need less religion & more science-based sex education. It just screams ignorance.

[@aannnniiikkaa]

LITERALLY!! i'd love to see him try all of the main 'types' of ways to give birth and see what he has to say then eg. no pain meds VS epidural VS other options like gas and air, vaginal VS c-section, on his back on a bed VS in a tub, at hospital VS at home VS in a car on the way to hospital, etc. etc. etc. birth is the craziest experience that humans go through (no matter how u do it!!) besides maybe like... dying lol.

[@colourfulsouls]

I don’t like or agree with them, but personally I believe it was misinterpreted when she said they were watching their kids on the monitors while they were out for dinner, as a parent it’s common to still watch them on a monitor even while someone else is watching them I think she just never expected people to assume that meant they had no in person supervision by someone else, They did say they had several family members also on the cruise who helped them w the kids

[@colourfulsouls]

Tho it is an important topic to discuss, I would never leave any baby toddler or child alone or unattended, even in your own home nevermind while you’re away somewhere It’s so negligent and I will never stick up for anyone who does that, it’s not right at all and even if nothing bad happens it can still traumatize your child and have them fearful etc

[@katiep8675]

6:52 my grandparents are old-school traditional gender role people. My grandfather cannot take care of himself. When my grandmother got cancer, he hired a maid he learned how to order dinner. He learned how to cook 1 meal. He did not expect my grandmother to still cook and clean. Because before anything else, he loves his wife. He also isn’t an idiot who expects his wife who just had massive surgery to be able to do as she was able to before.

I’m new to this channel, just a passerby (now subscribed) but the title caught my eye and boy howdy you are so correct! Giving out unsafe advice under the guise of “we know more than you so we help other parents” is bonkers. As a dude I saw one random clip of the Matt guy talking once about his baby and it really gave me the impression he doesn’t want kids or a wife, just the status of both and sadly many men fall into that category. Hopefully they learn at some point but let’s not hold our breath 😂 oh and happy sobriety to all on the path as well!

[@pigeonbrain1534]

My husband surprises me with cleaning! The difference here is he organizes and tidies all of MY sewing/art/craft bullshit and deep cleans when I'm at work. We flip traditional roles on most things anyway so he does 90% of the dishes, shopping, cooking, and bathroom cleaning because he is self employed at home while I make more money and have a 35 mile commute to work. I do all of the cat care, fold all the laundry, floors, and usually take out the trash more often. People are shocked when I talk about it and have the audacity to ask "What do you do then?" Umm the stuff I just said and making twice as much money as him while fully supporting and encouraging him to follow his dream career path, duh.

[@KDawnn]

My husband and I have “traditional” family roles but it’s stops at he works and I am a homemaker-SAHM-Homeschooler but you bet your ass my husband comes home from work and cleans and does laundry and upkeeps the house because cleaning the house is not my job. I try to keep my home clean while home but it’s not strictly my job. That’s insane.

[@cheyennedonovan938]

Matt being upset about his birthday and Father's day being on the same day is so narcissistic to me because Mother's day falls on/close to my birthday every year and I always feel like it makes it more special-especially now that I am a mom. I get to spend my birthday celebrating my greatest gifts which are my children and being privileged enough to be a mother, but also to celebrate my own mother. I just don't get it, it's so childish.

They’re also not doing it alone, or under the conditions of most young parents. They’re jobless yet rich, and have Abby’s parents LIVING with them to help raise their kids.

[@beckylemm3smash44]

My son is one and a half and I genuinely couldn’t even imagine giving advice about parenting because I won’t know what the hell im talking about until he’s an adult lol. I don’t even like telling people what I do when I ask because I don’t know what I’m doing 😂😂

[@Melina_Shadow]

13:23 meanwhile I completely forgot my husband’s birthday a few years back…. My husband and I get a good laugh about it now. I had been swamped at work at the time and completely didn’t realize what day it even was.

[@valerieodonnell6764]

My husband sent me flowers for our anniversary on a day that was not our anniversary. He was mortified but I found it very funny.

[@danieIIemydear]

I watched one episode of their podcast when they had Jill Duggar on after she wrote her book because I couldn't help myself. And I didn't know much about them cause they really only exist on the periphery of my social media algorithms. But what mainly struck me was how not very good they are at interviewing people and how I found myself cringing at some of the questions they were asking. So glad to see you back Hannah! The way I clicked this video so fast when I saw it! Hope you're doing well

[@krystynaa_]

Yes, I thought I was the only one thinking this. Because I really hate how Abby is always like mmmm, & with a frown face & all these noises while somebody is talking lol I couldn’t watch a lot honestly just Abby Lee & Kail lol

[@wiebki]

Oh I've seen their podcast pop up but i didnt make the connection that they are the tiktok couple who had the father's day / birthday "controversy" lol

[@caseypages]

The way I screamed!! Welcome back Hannah!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@mckinleygallyer458]

I have a son close to their kids age and once had a day long panic attack because I thought I forgot to drop him off at his child care provider. I of course actually did and it was just an intrusive thought. But the idea of doing that purposefully on a cruise ship of all places boils my blood. I can’t imagine how scared those boys were by themselves. Insane dangerous neglectful behavior.

When you did your outro, I got chills and teared up. So happy you’re back 💛 so, so proud of you.

[@MostlyMom]

Love the set up! So looking forward to your input on this one! My heart breaks for Abby.. but then again, she’s perpetuating a terrible cycle. Soo happy for a new one!

[@Mothman_In_a_T-Pose]

12:40 Holy narcisissm Batman. My brother is born June 16, so it often coincides with Father's Day or is just off from it. Never bothered him. He'd jokingly tell our dad that _he_ was the Father's Day gift, and when he became a dad himself, he loved Father's Day even more. For him, it's a day to celebrate his family, to dote on his daughter and cherish his wife. The fact that his birthday might sometimes be on Father's Day is a gift in his mind. That's a healthy, normal approach. Matt not being able to share his special day with the holiday is one hell of a red flag.

Wait a second. Banning baby monitors from cruise ships is, Dare I say, even MORE dangerous. Like WHAT!?! There HAS to be a better way to address this problem!!!

[@cricketjuices]

I haven't watched the video yet and am profoundly baffled by this statement lmao

[@Elizabeth-lj1vm]

Huh? Monitors are banned so parents don’t leave their kids in the room with a monitor and go “eat or play” on the boat, like Matt and Abby did!!!

[@lauracollins945]

I agree! Like they aren’t always misused… like what if they are napping in one room and I’m showering in the bathroom… I would use a monitor???? Banning them? That’s crazy

[@Xeladalg]

I agree too. Monitors are meant to watch your child while they sleep/nap - when the parents are in another room. Cruises have suites with multiple bedrooms. It seems excessive to punish the normal usage because improper use of them happened.

[@betterforthisthingweliveon]

I wonder if they left out the fact an adult was in the room with the children, to purposely cause drama and controversy, for views and increased exposure, etc.

[@LeDoubleYou311]

I was just thinking about you! Yay!🎉

[@imogenlucy1561]

I have always respected you so much for advocating for children and calling out parents who film their children 👏 Love seeing you back, sending lots of love xxx

Guys wake up, Smokey posted and she's annoyed by some creeps on TikTok. This is not a drill.

[@crispybi1474]

I almost couldn't believe it! I was actually watching one of your older videos when I saw your new video under my recommended for later videos. So glad to see you're posting videos, and you're absolutely glowing! I hope you're doing better.

My husband and I were recently discussing when we’d feel comfortable leaving our kids alone in a hotel room while we did things like this, and we decided we aren’t quite there yet. But our oldest is 11! Not fucking 3. A 3 year old can’t be in charge! What the heck?! Glad to see to you back, by the way. Hope you’re doing well!

[@ATang482]

I'm dyslexic too, love you, love candle of the day, love that you're back. Sending good vibes xo

[@Allison1111]

Hannah!! Welcome back we missed you!! Why would you need to Facetime the monitors if someone was in the room with them? They could just go and enjoy themselves for an hour. They could make the excuse that they still want to see the kids but you usually take the monitor with you if you get up and walk around. So whoever they claim was watching them would probably take it with them to the bathroom or to just get up and get something from the fridge. I'm with you too on you'd immediately jump back on and say "oh no sorry to worry people, someone is watching them we just like to keep an extra eye on them" not wait days and be like "Nooo someone was with them we swearrr"

[@a.harrington1634]

The Matt birthday thing is SO ridiculous. I'm a woman of colour, but my dad (who is white) has a birthday that is usually Father's Day, Graduation Weekend (in a family of teachers) and Juneteenth. The ONLY reason he complains is because he is older (77) and doesn't really like loud crowds. Matt is sich a weenie.

[@recluseren]

not even just "if my friend got mad at me for throwing them a birthday party", but "if my friend got mad at me for celebrating 2 of their successes at once". like WHAT?? also you are looking radiant ✨️

I hadn't heard of them before, but the only parents I want advice from are ones who raised kids that are now productive adults, and marriage advice from people who have been married at least 20 years. They are kids.

[@vickykulig5080]

I mean I can understand Abby posting stuff about what can happen postpartum and what it’s like to be young parents, but they’re acting like best experts, especially Matt

[@jnmsks6052]

@@vickykulig5080 Oh, yes, I definitely support sharing experiences, especially when another young mom might think they're the only one with a birth or postpartum experience that was not all sunshine and rainbows. So they know it's ok to not always be happy and feel great. I just thought it was weird that they give marriage and parenting advice when they probably could use the advice of more experienced couples and/or parents themselves.
