HGTV Erin Napier Admits Not Doing Well Without Husband Ben
HGTV star Erin Napier hosted Home Town with her husband, Ben Napier, for nine years. However, in a recent interview, she talked about how she has trouble raising her kids when Ben is not around. According to Erin, she has a hard time.
Here is what Erin had to say about her life when Ben isn’t around.
Erin Napier Struggles To Make It Without Ben Napier
Erin Napier took part in the latest episode of Dadville, a podcast by Dave Barnes and John McLaughlin. She said that she has a tough time when Ben is not at home and that she struggles with daughters Helen (6) and Mae (3).
“We messed them up,” she joked about her daughters. She then said that the girls are used to having both parents around. When Ben is gone, she said the girls will start misbehaving just an hour after he is not in the house.
“I feel like all of my friends are incredibly good at solo momming because their husbands work in a different location from them and so they are used to doing things on their own,” Erin said. However, she said that since Ben is at home a lot, the girls start to get out of control when he leaves.
Ben says it is “exhausting,” but Erin said that when he is there, they are “balanced and really sweet.” It isn’t just Erin either. Ben said when Erin is not at home, the same thing happens. It seems the girls need both parents at home to behave.
What Does Erin Napier Say About The Problems?
Erin Napier said that she knows this is not a problem most families have. Many families have parents who are gone at work at various times. However, with the two of them home together so much, the girls are used to it and don’t deal well when one of them is gone for an extended period of time.
Erin also thinks that another problem is not doing certain things when the other is not at home. For example, when Ben is gone, there is not much playing outdoors. She said the kids end up cooped up indoors and start “roaring through the house.”
“For some reason, they go to the garden with me, they go to the pond with me, they play in the trees with me, but they will not do it with her,” Ben said.

Love their honesty…and it doesn’t surprise me that their girls do this. What kid doesn’t try to outwit an individual parent…it’s what kids do… it’s called childhood development. As lovable as they are, they’re lovable schemers 😄 and it’s the parent’s job to correct and discipline as necessary.
I love you as a couple and both singly, kids are hard to raise…period. maybe Ben needs to talk to them about showing more respect to you and have a more joyful life.Erin is so full of joy that to have them bring her down is sad. it may just be ages of kids…don’t give in ( to much). Parenting is very hard work and do those who say it isent, they may not be saying the truth.
