screenrant.com:

Lydia Plath is usually well-liked on Welcome to Plathville, but fans are upset that she has been permitted to home-school the younger children. Kim and Barry Plath often come across as lazy parents, but fans were shocked to see Lydia giving the kids their school lessons. Many feel Lydia is just a child herself and has no prerequisites for being a teacher.

For years now, Lydia has stayed firmly planted under Kim and Barry's roof and is sometimes one of the only Plath children to abide by the rules. It has been noted by Welcome to Plathville fans that Lydia often takes her mother's side during family arguments. While Lydia does seem like the peacekeeper, she has started to make waves herself. Viewers can't help but feel she now has her own motives and is trying to figure out which path is the right one for her to take.

It seems Welcome to Plathville viewers feel Lydia is severely overworked and underpaid for what she does around the family home. Viewers still don't understand why Kim and Barry won't enroll their children in public school. In a recent Welcome To Plathville episode, Lydia was seen teaching her siblings during what was supposed to be her lunch break. There is no doubt that Lydia often takes on a motherly role when she should be enjoying her teenage years. Fans were quick to note that since Kim has been away from the family home, Lydia has once again had to step into the maternal role.

Fans were already annoyed with Lydia after her passive reaction to her sister, Moriah Plath, breaking up with her boyfriend, Max Kallschmidt. Many felt that Lydia was insensitive to her sister's difficult situation and may have actually had a crush on Max herself.
