7 Little Johnstons Fans Saw Paper Plates Before

Do you remember when Joose, who hailed from Finland, stayed with family? The exchange student celebrated the National Day of his nation. Trying to help, Amber Johnston produced some Salmon soup. At the time, TLC fans noticed the disposables. In fact, it seems common for them to use those rather than china.

Since then, it became obvious that the 7 Little Johnstons family often uses the convenient dishes. While might seem like a minor thing to worry about, lots of TLC fans got touchy about it, slamming the family for laziness. Well, the show reveals that everyone works, even Emma and Alex who run their own Etsy stores. However, plenty of people work hard, so little sympathy goes their way.

Why Does Amber Johnston Use Paper Plates?

This weekend, the @Team7ljs Instagram account revealed the reason. And, it seemed reasonable to many people. Amber Johnston who runs the account, explained that when they are “filming,” they all continue with their “day jobs.” So, each morning is an early start. Then, when they get back, they go straight into filming.

Reactions By TLC Fans

Some TLC fans didn’t believe Amber Johnston’s explanation, claiming that a dishwasher would save time. However, others also talked about the noise that china plates would make.

Here are a few of those comments by 7 Little Johnstons fans:

  • isn’t this a common tv thing because the clinking is distracting?
  • As a working mom, I can tell you right now we are using paper plates almost every night. You guys criticizing them for that is actually insane. Grasping at anything.
  • It takes 1 min to load a dishwasher with a plate, glass, and cutlery and 15 mins to unload. They love to order their kids around, this is an easy chore.
  • That’s a big family there’s no way I’d use china. My husband and I make enough dishes for two.
