Little People, Big World fans have had issues with Caryn Chandler for some time, but she’s now labeled a “bad influence” on Matt Roloff.
Caryn Chandler has never been a favorite among Little People, Big World fans, but the animosity towards her has increased recently. Some fans feel she has often forced herself into family dynamics where she doesn’t belong. Others believe she is stepping into a grandmother role that she shouldn’t be in yet, as she is not married to Matt Roloff. Whatever the reason, Little People, Big World viewers have a lot to say about Caryn.
Matt and Caryn’s suspected relationship timeline has given many fans pause. A number of fans believed Caryn and Matt to be involved before the divorce, as Amy said in her memoir A Little Me that someone close to the family was involved with Matt. When this came to light, fans wanted to know all about Caryn Chandler, with many suspecting she was in an affair with Matt before the divorce in 2015. This has given followers many reasons to dislike her, and few are shy about admitting it. On Reddit, fans like Puzzleheaded-Room175 think Caryn is a bad influence on Matt, and suspect she will force herself onto the family until it fractures even more.
LPBW Fans Think Caryn Is Too Involved In The Roloff Family
The Roloff family has its ups and downs with Caryn. While she had some successful relationships with the Roloff children in the past, those relationships have become more strained as time has gone on. Matt’s decision to sell the family farm caused many to believe Caryn was behind the decision. LPBW fans can’t stand Caryn, and a number of them think she is a gold digger only after Matt’s money. Suspicious fans have taken to calling her “Cha-Ching,” based on the nickname she gave herself for her supposed gold digger status, and Matt’s grandkids call her “Cha Cha.” There is no shortage of theories about Caryn among fans. One person on Reddit went so far as to say she has an “agenda” and is “too involved in family matters that are none of her business.” Some think she is trying to find ways to separate Matt from the rest of the Roloffs, looking to divide the family to her benefit.
LPBW Fans Feel Caryn Should Respect Her Role In The Roloff Family
One problem viewers have with Caryn is that she inserts herself into much of the family’s business and interactions. Some feel she has claimed a role as a grandparent that she is not yet fit to fill. While fans think Chris Marek is a better grandfather than Matt, the same cannot be said of Caryn. LPBW fans believe that, while the Roloff grandchildren like her, she is stepping into a role she does not have yet, as Chris is married to Amy whereas Matt and Caryn are just dating. A fan argued that Caryn’s “true colors are now coming out and they are not looking good.” Her involvement is considered odd as she positioned herself as a grandparent without much consideration for the other grandparents in the lives of the Roloff grandchildren. It seems like she considers herself an equal grandparent with the others and isn’t afraid of acting like it.
While some Little People, Big World fans can’t stand Caryn, others defend her and don’t think she’s that bad. It is safe to say that there are mixed feelings about Caryn, and viewers are still uncertain about her intentions toward Matt and the Roloff family. Most, however, hope that Caryn eventually learns how to balance her role in the Roloff family.
