The Little People, Big World cast member feels that it is hard when your first child is a boy, and you put all your time and effort into raising him, and when you have a third child who is also a boy, it isn’t possible to give him that same attention. She says she feels “so much guilt.”
Tori feels she isn’t spending enough time with their third child, Josiah.” She also thinks she isn’t taking the time to teach him how to communicate and learn as she and Zach did with Jackson.
Zach & Tori Struggle to Divide Time
Tori gets emotional when she feels she didn’t do her best job parenting. However, Zach explains that they have to be realistic about it. He explains that they only have so many hours in a day, and they have to divide them between three kids, themselves, and work.
The Little People, Big World castmate says it’s unfortunate that their son, Jackson, “gets the short pie.” He explains that his siblings, Lilah and Josiah, have needs that require more attention. So, they need to spend more time with them.
