Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff is not a fan of his ex Amy Roloff's management style. He even went as far as calling her a "dictator." Despite no longer being a couple, Matt and Amy are still very much involved in each other's lives, as seen in Little People, Big World season 25. They got married in 1987 but separated in 2015. Since then, they have moved on with other partners - Matt with Caryn Chandler, and Amy with Chris Marek. Despite the changes, they still have to interact with each other, and viewers have been able to witness a lot of it up close.
Matt has openly admitted that Amy "can cross that line from micromanager to dictator quicker than me."

During the meet-up, the group was struggling to choose a date for the fundraiser. Amy took charge and decided that it will be on June 24 without any further discussion.

Along with finalizing the date, Amy is also considering the budget constraints, knowing that they need to be mindful of their expenses. She understands the importance of making firm decisions rather than being indecisive, as it will benefit everyone to complete the planning process sooner rather than later.

Matt jokes about Amy planning a fundraiser for him, to which Caryn sarcastically responds, "This is gonna be fun."
