Matt Roloff offers to babysit Jackson and Lilah

During tonight’s episode of LPBW, Matt Roloff extends a bit of an olive branch to his son. He makes the trip to see him and take a look at the sandbox he built. Matt tells the cameras he is beaming with joy as he watches his son passionately build projects on his own property. What Matt and his girlfriend Caryn Chander really yearn for, however, is to spend time with Jackson and Lilah. Caryn Chandler didn’t come with him to see the sandbox, but she admits that she deeply misses seeing Matt’s grandchildren.

While he was visiting his son, he reminds Zach that he and Caryn are more than happy to take the kids overnight if Zach and Tori need some alone time together. Zach tells the cameras he appreciates the offer but proceeds to shut it down.

Zach Roloff confirms keeping kids from his father

During his confessional with the cameras, Zach Roloff more or less admitted he and Tori were definitely keeping the children from Matt and Caryn. He explains that it was a nice gesture for his father to offer to watch the children. He, however, shut down the idea as being something they would even consider. Zach said that it “wasn’t realistic” for Caryn and Matt to assist in watching the children overnight right now.

According to Zach Roloff, things just weren’t getting that much better between him and his father. So, he needed Matt to work on accepting the new norm because babysitting his children overnight just wasn’t going to happen right now.

Fans of Little People, Big World fans admit they are not happy with the situation. They believe Zach is purposely keeping his children from his father simply because he’s unhappy he didn’t get his way. Likewise, they believe he’s punishing his children because he’s throwing a tantrum.

Sadly, it doesn’t appear as if things are any better between Zach and Matt at this point in time. Share your thoughts on this family drama in the comments down below.
