Fans of Welcome to Plathville know that Kim and Barry Plath ask a lot of their kids, and Ethan Plath, Micah Plath, and Moriah Plath have impressed viewers by breaking the rigid rules. People who enjoy the series can't wait for season 3, as they want to see what the older kids will do next. Some fans follow Ethan, Micah, and Moriah on social media. They love seeing the trio of Plath siblings experiment with life out in the world rather than being dictated to by their mother and father.
Welcome to Plathville season 1 aired in 2019, and viewers watched as Kim and Barry rejected modern life by imposing rules that seemed way too harsh for their kids to handle. To keep their children sequestered from the modern world and its perceived perils, they banned sugar, cell phones, non-religious music, and travel.
While the younger children (there are 9 kids in all) and older child Lydia Plath don't really seem to bristle at the restrictions, Ethan, Micah, and Moriah just weren't happy with the traditional Plath way of life. They wanted more and were willing to risk their parents' disapproval in order to pursue their dreams. They bravely branched out, and so many fans are rooting for them.
Ethan And Olivia Plath Fought With Kim And Barry Plath
Ethan is now 23, and he's the oldest of Kim and Barry's children. He is married to wedding photographer Olivia Plath, 23, who manages to irritate his parents on a regular basis. Olivia grew up in a religious family but went on to reject many of her family's values. She's a risk-taker who loves to travel. She doesn't hesitate to speak her mind when she thinks that the Plath family rules are too restrictive. She will break the rules, and she even introduced Ethan to alcohol, which Kim and Barry certainly don't approve of. These days, Ethan and Olivia are doing their own thing, and Ethan recently shared that Kim and Olivia are still feuding. Ethan has been penalized for his independent spirit, such as when his parents wouldn't let him visit his younger siblings. See Ethan on his 23rd birthday below:
Micah Plath Likes To Show Off His Physique
The handsome Micah is now 20 years of age, and he's defied Kim and Barry by posing in racy shots that show off his chiseled physique. While he's modestly dressed in the Instagram post shown below, he often poses shirtless, which surely rankles his ultra-conservative mother and father. Welcome to Plathville season 2 viewers may remember that Micah and Moriah moved into a rental home together. They wanted to live out of Kim and Barry's orbit, and this experiment was ultimately successful, as both of the reality celebs seem happy these days. However, it's never easy to go up against parents, especially when religious values come into play. Micah had to rebel in order to live his best life. Parental disapproval casts a long shadow, but model Micah knows how to find the light.
Moriah Plath Always Wanted More From Life
This young woman is very courageous. Moriah has even tried out two-toned hair. She's never hidden the fact that she doesn't believe in everything that her parents do. She is thoroughly modern and seems to have bloomed since she decided to branch out. Her happy relationship with Max Kallschmidt warms hearts. Moriah always felt like something was missing while she was growing up outside of Cairo, Georgia. Now, Moriah is free to fly, whether she's getting a dark tattoo, posting selfies with her boyfriend, or enjoying outdoor adventures.
Fans who are excited about Welcome to Plathville season 3 don't have long to wait. Soon, TLC viewers will be able to see how the family has been doing since season 2. So much has happened in the lives of fierce and inspiring Ethan, Micah, and Moriah. These reality celebs deserve praise for pushing the envelope to live their best lives.
