UnPlanned Podcast
TikTok couple Matt and Abby shared that on a recent cruise with their sons Griffin, 2, and August, 13 months, they left the boys asleep in their stateroom alone. At the same time, the two of them went to dinner and decided to monitor them via FaceTime. “So we ended up taking them for five nights,” Abby said in an old Instagram Story, “and it became apparent that they weren’t enjoying it and therefore we weren’t either.”.
She explained that the couple switched their dining time to after their children’s bedtime and “FaceTimed the monitors while we ate.” The 25-year-old noted, “Baby monitors don’t work on board unless you’re only like 10 feet away.” So, they opted to use FaceTime to watch their children and get time to themselves. While the couple seemed happy with their decision, the internet was quick to shame the couple for putting their young children in that situation.
Matt And Abby Allegations
The couple has since denied the allegations of neglect. “People started to speculate and believe that we had left our children alone… And that is just completely untrue because we had someone with our children at all times on this boat, period,” Matt Howard, 26, said in the video posted to the couple’s Instagram Monday. The couple clarified that they had gone on the cruise with Abby Howard’s extended family and had someone watching the kids while the others went to dinner. However, other internet users have claimed that the couple said they left the children alone while all adults went to dinner. The internet overall isn’t happy because this isn’t the first time the couple has faced controversy for questionable actions and comments. Neither Matt nor Abby has commented further on the allegations.
