7 Little Johnstons: Aunt Heidi Talks About Differences Between Little People & Average-Sized
Amber is a strong advocate for little people, firmly believing they are intellectually superior to average-sized individuals. Her convictions often come off as extreme to 7 Little Johnsons fans due to its intensity. Moreover, she often intrudes on her children’s love lives and tries to influence it. Her strong opinion is possibly a result of not growing up in a family of little people, unlike her husband Trent. Recently, tensions flared, when Trent’s sister Heidi visited Liz on her delivery day and gave advice based on her experience of raising an average-sized baby.
Heidi, also a mother of an average-sized baby, explained to Liz the development differences she could expect. She noted Liz’s baby would likely be doing things “a lot sooner and quicker” than a little person child. Amber added, “She is going to be walking. She is going to be sitting up. She gonna be rolling over. All of these things quicker.” Aunt Heidi also noted that Liz would have to childproof her house a lot sooner. These statements directly conflicted with Amber’s beliefs. Most importantly, 7 Little Johnstons fans watching the interaction quickly noticed, Amber reaction.
A fan pointed out, “LOOK AT AMBER’S FACE! She is so pissed.” Another fan speculated, “But wait didnt amber say LP babies are more advanced than average? How would she know that anyway without having an average? I think it’s eating amber up for the baby to be average because she has no experience in that field so she can’t completely take over and give advice like she knows better than anyone. So liz asking Heidi for advice probably has amber steaming.”
