Kids Alone on Cruise: Matt and Abby Howard of TikTok Draw Criticism
Matt Howard and Abby Howard, a TikTok couple, are receiving criticism for their family cruise once more.
Earlier this week, Matt, 26, and Abby, 25, shared on Instagram photos from their trip with their sons, Griffin, 2, and August, 12 months.
Following his DWI arrest, Justin Timberlake apologizes and calls it a “mistake.”
“So we ended up taking them for 5 nights and it became apparent that they weren’t enjoying it and therefore we weren’t either,” Abby wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story. “So, THEN we switched our dinner time to AFTER their bedtime and FaceTIMED the monitors while we ate.”
She continued, “And that worked out muchhhh better for everyone!”
According to Abby, their baby monitors didn’t “work on board” unless parents were within “10 feet” of the device.
Despite Matt and Abby working out a solution to keep an eye on their sons while enjoying a dinner date, they were met with a flurry of social media outrage.
“Why is no one talking about Matt & Abby leaving their kids alone to sleep in their cruise cabins while they had dinner?!?! What the hell,” one social media user wrote via X.
Another added, “Everything I learned about Matt and Abby on TikTok is against my will, but everything I learn gets worse and worse.”
