LPBW (Little People, Big World) fans are saying that Chris Marek is a better grandpa than Matt Roloff is, but why? A recent gesture from Chris got fans talking and now, they’re comparing him to the kids’ biological grandfather. Keep reading for all of the details.
Chris Marek goes above & beyond for Jackson Roloff.
As TV Shows Ace reported, in the Tuesday, Nov. 8 episode of LPBW, Chris and Amy surprise Jackson with a special gift. The proud grandparents gift the five-year-old his first bike with training wheels. In the preview, Tori Roloff gives Chris props for buying a bike that Jackson can actually ride. Zach also shows his appreciation for Chris always making an effort to connect with the kiddos.
Last season, LPBW fans saw Chris surprise Jackson with a pet to keep at his and Amy’s house. The Roloffs were blown away by this thoughtful gesture.
LPBW fans compare Chris to Matt.
On Reddit, fans are discussing the scene from the newest episode’s preview and talking about how great Chris is with Jackson. They love this preview and the way Chris cares for his grandson.
One fan said, “He is a better ‘father figure’ or ‘grandfather figure’ to the kids than Matt is. Chris goes out of his way to try and bond and connect with the kids.”
Another LPBW fan added that Chris appears to be a “very involved grandfather.” Someone even said that Chris is more involved in Jackson’s, Lilah’s, and Josiah’s lives than Zach is sometimes.
Another Reddit user mentioned how genuine Chris is, especially with the grandkids. They commented, “I like how he doesn’t force it. They call him Chris and he interacts as much as they want.”
In the Instagram comments section of the trailer, fans are sharing similar sentiments. Many are calling Chris thoughtful and applauding him for getting down on Jackson’s level. It looks like Chris has really grown on fans.
Hopefully, fans will get to see many more great moments with Chris and his grandchildren. He seems to love this role, despite not having much experience with kids in the past.
