BAD DAD MOVE Little People fans slam Matt Roloff for keeping huge secret from his own children as
Matt Roloff has become the target of criticism from fans of the show *Little People, Big World* after his decision to put part of his family farm up for sale. In recent episodes, the disagreement between Matt and his family members has become more and more obvious, especially regarding the sale of Roloff Farms. Viewers were shocked to see Matt’s children find out the news through a text message without any prior discussion.
In the upcoming episode, the teaser reveals that Matt’s 32-year-old twins, Zach and Jeremy, received a text message informing them that he had decided to put part of the land up for sale. Zach shared in a personal interview that after receiving the message, no one in the family responded. He admitted that he felt sad and believed that his relationship with his father would never be the same. This is the latest development in the long-standing dispute over the farm, which was once a symbol of family unity.
Matt’s ex-wife, Amy Roloff, also reacted strongly to the decision, calling it a “hornet’s nest” that has divided the family. In an interview, Amy expressed her disappointment, saying: *“What we knew about Roloff Farms is gone. It’s sad. When the for sale sign goes up, it’s probably closure for all of us.”* Amy also tried to reassure her son Zach and daughter-in-law Tori amid the growing rift.
Fans on social media were quick to express their mixed opinions. Some called Matt’s actions “selfish,” while others criticized both Matt and Amy for being “greedy for money.” One viewer even called Matt a “manipulator,” saying he hurt his family for his own benefit.
The dispute began when Zach and Jeremy tried to buy back their share of the farm but failed to reach an agreement with their father. While it’s unclear how much they offered, Matt decided to put 16 of Roloff Farms’ 1,000-plus acres up for sale in May. The decision proved to be a source of conflict. Zach, after being turned down, called his father a “bad grandpa” and said he didn’t appreciate his family. He also announced that he would no longer work on the farm during the upcoming pumpkin season.
Matt’s current girlfriend, Karen Chandler, also couldn’t hide her emotions. In the latest episode, she broke down in tears as she prepared to part ways with the farm, telling Matt: “What you’ve built here is so precious. It’s sad to think that your grandchildren won’t be able to use it anymore.”*
Matt, meanwhile, has defended his decision to sell the land, saying it was the right move and even accusing Amy of contributing to the tension in the family. He also stressed that these conflicts were inevitable in the context of the parties not reaching a consensus.
The 16-acre land, which was put up for sale for $4 million, not only had agricultural value but also included many interesting structures: a medieval-style children’s castle, a town that recreated the American West, and other entertainment areas. This decision, although commercial, created a deep rift in the Roloff family, leaving viewers both disappointed and curious about their future.
