Kim Plath Spotlight Hog, Will Always Make It About Her?
Welcome To Plathville centers on a conservative Christian family with nine children. Kim Plath is the matriarch of that family. She is often responsible for the large majority of the decisions that the family makes. The Plath children have all been homeschooled by Kim herself. She controls what they eat, what they wear, where they go, and how they live. Many of Kim’s children are now adults living their own lives, given their sheltered upbringing they have had difficulty with this transition.
Kim’s Decisions Causes Rift With Her Children
Kim Plath has faced harsh criticism for her actions when it comes to her children. Fans have said that she puts herself above her children. Because of this Kim is estranged from several of her children. Due to Kim’s unreasonable rules, her daughter Moriah Plath left home at only 17. Moriah and Kim struggled to maintain a relationship for several years afterward.
Ethan Plath is the oldest Plath child. He and his then-wife, Olivia Plath tried to integrate into the family as a married adult couple and were shunned and pushed out because their beliefs were different from that of Kim Plath. Ethan and Olivia eventually distanced themselves from the family, but it was not enough to save their marriage. Some think the wedge that Kim drove between Olivia and Ethan was a large part of the marriage failure.
Kim Plath ended her marriage to Barry Plath. Shortly after she moved out and started a new relationship. When she moved out Kim left her eldest daughter Lydia responsible for completing the younger children’s homeschooling education. Kim abandoned her responsibilities to her children and then abandoned her conservative views. She is evolving and becoming more accepting of alternative lifestyles, but the damage has already been done to her relationships with her children.
Kim Desires The Spotlight
Kim Plath has been one of the driving voices behind the Plath family participating in Welcome To Plathville. She escalated the drama between herself and Olivia Plath so that she could be featured more. She continues to put herself at the center of every family drama even though Olivia and Ethan have split. During Kim’s divorce from Barry, she presents herself as the victim. Barry is often very calm when presented with conflict, and Kim tries to get under his skin and cause a reaction.
Season 7 of Welcome To Plathville is set to feature Kim Plath more. She has hinted at an engagement with her boyfriend Ken, even though Kim and Barry’s divorce is not finalized due to property and custody disputes. Now that most of the children are adults the show focuses less on Kim and more on the children. However, Kim keeps viewers engaged in her story by sharing her spiritual and lifestyle evolution.
