TikTokers Matt Howard and Abby Howard Face Backlash for Leaving Toddlers in Cruise Ship Cabin
Matt Howard and Abby Howard are cruising into a new controversy.
The married TikTokers, who post under the joint account Matt & Abby, shared that on a recent cruise with their sons Griffin, 2, and August, 13 months, they left the boys asleep in their stateroom while the two of them went to dinner, adding they were monitoring them via FaceTime.
“So we ended up taking them for 5 nights,” Abby wrote in a since expired Instagram Story, “and it became apparent that they weren’t enjoying it and therefore we weren’t either.”
She explained that the couple—who married in 2019 during their sophomore year of college—switched their dining time to after their children’s bedtime and “FaceTimed the monitors while we ate.”
The 25-year-old noted that, “Baby monitors don’t work on board unless you’re only like 10 feet away.”
And she was happy with the decision she and her 26-year-old husband made, writing, “That worked out muchhhh better for everyone! :)”
