If you watch "Little People, Big World" is there one particular family member you empathise with more than the others?

Asked by KalWest (1389points) April 1st, 2009

I really feel for the mom. I think she kinda keeps them all grounded… her husband seems a little douchebaggy most of the time

I saw that show a few years back and yes, the mom had a lot on her plate, really patient.

I feel a little bad for Zach (?). Out of four kids (one of them his twin), he’s the only little person. Sometimes that’s just got to seem unfair to him. Even his younger brother is getting bigger than him.

Yea that dad is kind of an ass sometimes but I think a larger man would just be a bigger ass.. Zac is too cute! (:

I love watching that show – it makes me realize it doesn’t matter what a person looks like, what differences they have – that raising kids/teenagers is basically the same. I love Amy because she is the head of the family and does get everyone in line (even if she doesn’t keep a very clean house….) and pretty much parents the same way I do. Matt has this brilliant mind and does come across as assy sometimes, but I think he has a good heart. I feel for Zach too – but I don’t think he would want anyone to feel badly for him. He’s pretty much become his own person – realizing his limitations – but dealing with it. I like that the kids, in general, all seem to look out for each other. And they have learned, whether they realize it or not, how being a little person just really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things because of the way their parents live and have handled things.

Ditto. Exactly how I feel about the show.

I used to watch that show, I felt bad for the mom, and the people in the family who were regular size, because they had to deal with having the smaller people in the family too.
