Matt and Abby Respond To Backlash

#shorts #spillsesh

Traditional gender roles are not problematic when both the husband and wife want to be in those roles

[howaboutno]

One of his tasks is paying the bills and they had their water and electricity shut off because he forgot to pay them for 6 months

[samking]

People really see a happy, healthy family and hate it. How gross.

This video aged so well. It’s so interesting to see the comments where people defend him a year ago and now it’s so clear that this relationship is so toxic

[cirella]

Man I would hate doing this for a living. Where I have to explain every little fart in miscommunication. People getting offended. Ugh.

[therese]

I remember laughing at her explaining that he does the finances, aka payments, etc cause he didnt get that they had to pay for water when they bought a house

[inkedleo]

She had the BEST response to all the negativity. Their marriage is already heading in the right direction. Not many couples grasp that concept and end up spilt.

[sallamander]

traditional roles in a marriage are fine!! what isn't fine: matt scheduled horseback riding for them both after abby got an IUD (PAINFUL), would prank her by trying to make her upset (giving her really cold water after she had tooth sensitivity following a surgery), his comments on how he doesn't like parts of her post-partum body under the cover of brutal honestly, not cleaning or taking care of her when she was recovering from surgery, getting her pregnant when she was still recovering from surgery (that's both of them being stupid), etc. he would do the bare minimum and get applause (he turned on the TV for her when she was post-op).

he's not a traditional husband--he doesn't have a job outside of the job she is also doing. traditional: man is the breadwinner and helps with kids and home part-time, while woman primarly takes care of the house and kids. she works and is the breadwinner...but also does the vast majority of the childcare and household chores with help from family.

obviously i dont know them and no one but them knows them, but the videos they post paint a very unflattering light.

They have been together since they were kids, it's safe to say they know their relationships and how it works for them better than y'all do.

[cobito]

Influencers need to know that they don’t owe anyone an apology or explanation. People need to learn to mind their business.

[StarzyOnTheRise]

Feminism should empower women, ALL WOMEN. Not just the ones who break the traditional gender stereotypical roles.

[ghostlyexe]

That wasn’t the issue of the video, the issue was how big a deal he made it that he doesn’t clean, especially since she had just had a baby and was not feeling well at all. The previous video had been her doing laundry just a few days after getting home and his response to people being concerned about her to was to make that video about him cleaning while explaining that he never cleans? It was just a little ridiculous to see him being like, “I decided to do something nice for my wife right after she had a baby by CLEANING OUR HOUSE 😱” like that’s what you’re supposed to do dude, but it’s really not that big of deal

[fiercecoffee]

Uhhh I was under the impression people mostly had issues with how BACKHANDED Matt is to Abby, posting all of her personal postpartum struggles (when she doesn’t seem to be involved in the voice over…) and how they do activities where she is clearly uncomfortable (like after she had an IUD and they went HORSEBACK RIDING WTF) ect ect. Especially when you listen to their podcasts, Matt is just weird. Saying degrading things about Abby’s postpartum body. There is more going on.

[juicehardung]

He forgot to pay the electric bill for six months

[craftingranger]

It's the way he phrased it like it was a privilege for her to get a day to herself lol

[ericjohnson]

It’s not wise to let just one spouse handle all of the finances.

[probablynooneyouknow]

Like when he didn't pay their water bill for months and it got shut off? Sounds like he's struggling with his few allocated tasks 🙃

[NotimetoVero]

I am gonna say. I’ve been married for 4 years, and my husband and I got married at 19yo just like this couple— and I also though that I LOVED cooking and cleaning every day while my husband had other tasks that weren’t daily like the yard or car maintained. (Edit: both have always worked full time)

I got burned out.

It took a lot of communication and compromise but we have a better routine now.

The people saying “only lonely people have an issue with watching a women do all the chores and the husband do the bare minimum”— no. Probably a lot of wives in the mix of people chiming in.

[emmahalley]

each family can have different roles and you can tell that they aren’t doing it because of the phrase
“Women. Belong in the kitchen” and are simply doing it because they want to and enjoy it and that’s completely fine

[Iammmje]

But if you go a few videos up there's one where they talk about having their water taken away cause they find out they never paid the bill, which was his responsibility 😂
Everyone can make mistakes, I'm not judging, I just found it funny cause I saw the water bill video right after the traditional role gender one from Abby and it was a funny coincidence 😂
