Matt's parents could be on the podcast once a month and I wouldn't get tired of them.
-
If Matt's parents wrote a parenting book, I'd buy it so fast
-
Matt's mom is so humble, I hope she knows how awesome she is and that her accomplishments are amazing! The civil engineering degree and saying others are prettier than her, she is just so kind and that is rare!

Matt’s dad is so like Matt 😂😂😂😂

Matt show’s love by physical touch in the EXACT way his dad is you can see the mannerisms in the video it’s very sweet how healthy both their relationships are 🙌🏼

They ARE your number 1 supports. It's really sweet to see. I can imagine Abby's parents are equally as supportive. Huge blessing
-
Love that she discussed women who have successful careers choosing to stay home with their kids if that’s what they want to do and are able to do❤️ It seems like “giving up” your career to stay at home is mostly seen as a negative thing in society but she was so well spoken
-
Coming from a divorced family, it's crazy the effects divorced parents have on the children's ability to create friendships and relationships with people outside the family and also within the family. It's a blessing to see this unified family and how it has influenced the future generation
-
Abby looks sooo tiny on the couch next to Matt😂❤️

I really respect matt’s dad for not taking the higher pay job so that he could prioritize his family
-
Matt’s mom is a badass. Engineer is my dream job. You can tell Matt looks up to his mom for her career, as I do with my mom! I want my kids to feel this way about me too.
-
At the end, when Matt said well you are amazing parents, I don't know why, but I suddenly teared up! They really are amazing parents, and It's so beautiful!
-
Matt is a direct copy of his father LITERALLY😄

Matt’s dad is now literally my favorite human being
