Why are so many of these comments here bashing Amy? First of all you have to realize that any show of this type is heavily edited to feature the most controversial and exciting scenes, normal day to day activities are boring for the most part. Unless you know the Roloff's personally do not judge their character based on what you see on a TV show, this goes for any "reality" TV you see. There is always editing and the director/editor can paint any picture they want from the raw footage.
I do really enjoy watching the show, initially I got into it for the voyeuristic aspect of the show but now I find myself more interested in the people and their lives. The farm is just crazy with all the play areas and the different crops. I don't think it will ever be the money maker that Matt wants it to be, but it is still a great place for their kids to grow up in and it makes their home a gathering place for friends and neighbors. As an average height person it does help me to see the Roloff's and get to know a little about them. The show has certainly opened my eyes. It was really touching when Amy said that she was afraid that someone was going to take her children away because of her dwarfism. Matt and Amy are definitely the oil and vinegar that keep the show interesting, but they seem to love each other a great deal, and they are doing a good job with the kids. Who cares if the house is messy they are a busy family with 4 kids, its going to get messy. Its not a museum its a home!
