Reunion … and looks great?
On Friday, Ethan Plath shared an unexpected photo on Instagram, giving his followers a look at how he spends his time at the moment.
“Going down to Georgia to see my Dad and my brothers,” the reality star captioned the image below.
“It’s so nice to see them. The girls aren’t little anymore. Also took a couple of cars! Good times!”
Ethan and his wife Olivia moved to Minnesota in November, the culmination of a long-running dispute with a loved one.
Plath and her nine siblings were raised in rural South Georgia under strict religious rules and guidelines, most of which ran counter to the way Olivia was raised.
Heck, Ethan wasn’t allowed to watch movies at the theater, drink soda and or watch TV shows as a kid.
However, since marrying Olivia, he’s started to realize that it’s better to do things like that.
“Obviously, we’re our own family and we’re going to do things the way we choose and we allow things at home that our parents don’t and that’s just a personal choice,” Olivia. said in the confessional along with Ethan during season 1 of Welcome to Plathville.
“When we got married and moved here, we had alcohol in the house – it was a source of tension.
“We want to go out for ice cream and that’s going to create a conflict because they’re going to be like, ‘Well, you shouldn’t eat sugar.’
“And we’ll be like, ‘Well, we’re adults. We can make that decision.'”
Olivia previously said her mother-in-law had a dream — and you’ll notice that there’s no mention of Kim Plath in Ethan’s Instagram caption.
Kim and Barry at one point even banned their son and daughter-in-law from interacting with their children so they wouldn’t be a negative influence.
At this time, Kim and Barry have divorced, however, which seems to have given Ethan an opening to reconcile.
With one of his parents, at least.
“I think if we were honest with each other, sugar and soda wouldn’t be a problem,” Ethan said earlier on air to his mom.
“The issues I have with my father and my father are school, dating and right and wrong ways.
“I feel like in a lot of ways, you’re so relaxed that you put a lot of effort into school kids.
“I have felt that literally since I was 13, I felt behind in life, like [I] can’t compete with people in my age group as far as academics.
