"We just wanted to set the record straight, clear the air because we take our role as parents extremely seriously," Matt Howard said in a new Instagram video, alongside his wife Abby. "And we love our children more than anything in the entire world." He emphasized their commitment to responsible parenting amid the backlash they faced for apparently leaving their young kids alone in their cruise-ship cabin.
"We had someone with our children at all times on this boat, period," Matt Howard stated during a follow-up video about the perceived neglect. He expressed gratitude towards Abby's extended family for assisting them during their cruise, clearly stating that their children were never abandoned. This clarification aimed to put criticisms to rest and clarify misinterpretations of their earlier posts.
"I can see where my (Instagram) story did lead to misunderstanding, which is why I ended up deleting it several hours after posting it, as I could see that it was causing concern and misunderstanding," Abby Howard admitted in response to the uproar. This acknowledgment highlighted the importance of clarity in their family dynamics shared on social media.
"We have not, would not, will not ever leave our children unattended," Abby Howard asserted in a bid to quell online criticisms. Her strong reaffirmation of their vigilance emphasized their dedication to familial responsibilities and parenthood, dispelling rumors about their prior actions.
