Whoever told you to just start from season 18 was leading you astray… lol. Kody is, and always has been, an attention seeking narcissist who has spent years manipulating and gaslighting his first three wives. He fell head over heels for Robyn and she’s been able to hold his attention by a combination of acquiescence to and manipulation of him. It’s been a sight to behold. Side note: she is universally called “Sobbin” for her penchant to cry about any and everything while miraculously shedding nary a tear.

@abeal49 9 месяцев назад

Robyn never worked, came into the family with three kids and $32K in unsecured debt,,didn't move into the big house in Utah with the rest of them, she had to have her own house. They made up the story about having to flee Utah; they moved to Las Vegas because that was where Robyn's father lived. The divorce from Meri and legal marriage to Robyn was terrible for Meri, and it was not at all necessary for Kody to adopt Robyn's kids. They had separate homes in Las Vegas, and Kody spent almost all his time at Robyn's. Then Robyn's son Dayton got into college in Flagstaff, so the whole family had to move to Flagstaff. The other wives were promised homes on Coyote Pass, but they were never built. Robyn bought a house adjacent to the Coyote Pass property, a huge mansion, and she and Kody live there. In another episode, Janelle finds out that the money they need to pay off the lien on Coyote Pass was spent on "other things." The Christmas at Robyn's house showed what some of the other things are: a $400 porcelain gingerbread house, $27,000 worth of Vladimir Kush giclee prints, the Nearly $2000 Dickens Christmas village, the list goes on and on. This is not how the original 3 wives are living. Robyn, who gave nothing, has taken it all. And she has no idea why the other wives are leaving.

FYI - Meri was legally married to Kody for almost 15 years. They divorced so that, supposedly, he could marry Robyn in order to adopt Robyn's three children. Which he subsequently did. Robyn is not only the favorite, but she legally is the most financially advantaged over the other wives as well because of her legal marriage and Arizona's community property laws.

Respect has to be earned. That’s what Kody doesn’t understand. He expects his title as father-and I use the word “title” intentionally here-to be all he needs to have respect, but his behavior and communication have grown increasingly more aggressive, irrational, and close-minded that he has lost the respect that he craves and thinks he deserves from his family.

It wasn't just that he went and did it with one and not the others, it's that he made such a big deal about girls getting their ears pierced and how it should be a special experience etc but he doesn't even know when his other girls got theirs...it didnt matter for THEM to have a special experience, it didnt matter that THEY respected his wishes too...literally they all did the exact same thing and as you said the favored wife and child are the only ones who get acknowledged. Like, it's just so obvious that he doesn't care about at least 12 out of his 18 kids.

Robyn is afraid she's going to lose the other women's money. They all worked, Robyn didn't. She brought 30K+ debt with her & never stopped spending & demanding the best. She never lived as a polygamist wife, sharing with the others, she took, took, took. Kody stayed at her house the vast, vast majority of the time. Kody failed his older children & OG3. Robyn KNOWS very well why the family exploded, I don't buy her act. Watch from season 1, episode 1. Watch how Robyn manipulates everyone from the start.

Their covid wasn’t bad. Robin went to the emergency room. Her oxygen level was good and her fever was not that high so she was sent home. As for Kody… he wasn’t ‘as bad’ as Robin so he didn’t even go to the hospital. I have watched Sister Wives since the beginning and you need to know that Kody acts like he’s dying if he gets a cold. That’s just how Kody is.

@montyollie 9 месяцев назад

I only started watching regularly in season 17. I googled a lot and watched a lot of RU-vid recaps. It’s a train wreck. Christine was an Allred, daughter of the AUB prophet, so Kody never liked her but married her because she was AUB royalty. Christine realizing she wanted more than that and leaving him was a huge ratings boost. Kody outright said she disgusted him. Evil. There are two known LGBTQ+ kids, Christine’s daughter Gwendlyn is married to a woman and Meri’s only child was born Mariah but now goes by Leon. None of the kids are plig. Some of Robyn’s older kids who are not Kody’s bio kids appear to “respect” Kody in a way the other kids don’t. I adore Janelle. She’s the voice of reason

When they moved to Flagstaff, Robyn got a million dollar mansion, Christine and Meri got small homes and Janelle got a rental in a building. She also lived in an RV for a summer. It’s very inequitable.

@Cbbartelt 9 месяцев назад

Meri’s rental home is huge and Christine bought even though she knew it would make it harder to pay off the land. Janelle’s trailer and the truck Kody bought to haul it was more than a down payment on a home. In Vegas Meri went over budget on her home and Kody asked Christine to sacrifice some of her budget for Meri (even if she said no the ask is not okay). It is inequitable but also it is clear that each parent is thinking about themselves only.

@ianwild66 9 месяцев назад

I don't think that Robyn works, so all the other wives subsidise her lifestyle.

@monicajohnston8364 9 месяцев назад

Robyn's house is currently worth more than $1 million. Christine's former Flagstaff house was smaller and less luxurious and sold for around $700k. Meri lived in a series of Flagstaff rentals that were much larger than one woman (and a lot of Lularoe leggings) really needed. She insisted that it was cheaper to rent those huge houses than to buy something, but who knows? It's Meri, and she wants to be treated like she has 6 kids, even though she doesn't. Janelle had a very modest, older ranch-style rental house at first. She has never seemed to care about outward appearances. Her landlord sold the house shortly after the COVID lockdown ended and she needed to find someplace else to live. All of her kids had moved out except her youngest, who was in high school. She was adamant about not tying up the family assets in another house, because she was the only one who was actually serious about building on Coyote Pass. So she bought an RV, thinking she would have a temporary place to live while she built her "casita" on the property. That plan stalled and she realized that living in the RV was more work that she could handle, particularly since they had no well or septic on the land, so she was toting all her water. So she rented a crappy little apartment. Kody wanted her to buy Christine's house but she refused, fearing that she would be living there forever. It had become increasingly clear to Janelle that Kody had ZERO intention of ever building on Coyote Pass. He just wanted Janelle to move into Christine's old house, because it was just up the road from Robyn's house, and for Meri to leave him alone.

@muriel5826 9 месяцев назад

@@CbbarteltThe inequity really points to their insincerity when they claim to be a unified family. IF they were, all five of them would have taken on the task of raising money for Ysabel’s surgery. All five of them would have worked together to figure out how Kody could accompany Ysabel and Christine for that surgery and caretake Robyn’s kids (since she’s apparently not up to the task on her own). All five of them would have gotten the houses on coyote pass started within two years of moving to Arizona. It’s a lie.

@Schu0086 9 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness. There’s so much prior context that is needed here. The Covid stuff was extreme and caused severe falling outs between Kody and his adult children who were working and in college at the time, which he put their mothers in the middle of and refuses to reach out to the children directly to resolve. Instead he expects the mothers to choose between supporting their adult children and supporting him and they have chosen their children every time. He also forced a move from Vegas (where they were living in houses next door to each other with a shared yard a la Big Love) to Flagstaff where they were all housed miles away from each other, and during both this move and Covid he chose one house to stay in… he fractured the family with this behavior and I believe it to be beyond repair. I hope you watch more, I’m excited for your commentary on all of this 🥰

@Schu0086 9 месяцев назад

This family is so different from how they were in the beginning of the series… their family has fallen apart. I think it’s less to do with them going public and moreso Kody’s insecurity about his children growing up and making choices against his will. The image it gives (in his mind) of disobedient children is too much to bear. He feels disrespected by them not complying with what he wants, even though they are adults who have their own concerns about their work, their relationships, and their education. And because he is only there (at best) a quarter of the time, his opinion of their choices is not their primary concern. Most of the children who have public platforms have spoken a good deal about his lack of effort to maintain his relationships with them. He forced them to move several times throughout their childhood, failed to acknowledge or give gifts for birthdays or christmases, and refused medical care in multiple serious situations and failed to be there with his daughter for a serious spinal surgery she had to have. Because Covid. Then officiated a wedding a few weeks later… I think this pattern of behavior is what has really done the damage. Them being public just means the world saw it, too.

@Schu0086 9 месяцев назад

I think if you start at like season 13-15 you’ll get to see a lot of the reasoning for the disintegration of the family, rather than starting from the beginning. The beginning is the happy days when the kids were young. I feel Kody struggles to relate to his children as they reach adulthood and cannot be accountable to adults who he can’t sway with his “authority”.

Logan was making breakfast for all of Janelle's kids when she left for work early in the mornings, Aspyn was putting her sibs to bed at night while Christine was working. Where was Kody? Driving four hours each way to court Robyn, that's where. Eventually Robyn moved to Lehi, but not into the big house. She had to have her own house. Then when Christine went into labor, Kody could barely tear himself away from Robyn to meet Christine at the hospital. Lots of kissing and they weren't married yet. Then when Truly was 6 weeks old, Kody and Robyn took off for an 11-day honeymoon. Then the other wives found out Kody had picked out Robyn's wedding dress and they had been kissing before they were married. The other wives had been betrayed. Then we saw Janelle saying that Robyn had been looking for work, followed by Kody on tbe couch saying "we" decided that Robyn would stay home.

The bigger context on the ear piercing thing is that this is not his biological daughter. This is his stepdaughter that he adopted. He shows A LOT of favoritism to Robyn’s kids. The 3 older ones are from her first marriage and the 2 younger ones are Kody’s. After this episode aired, 2 of his biological daughters, Gwen and McKelti (Christine’s daughters), who do reaction videos online, were both clearly very hurt by this. And the respecting his authority was a dig against Janelle’s sons Garrison and Gabe. It was actually really not a charming scene to people who have watched the show for years.

Meri had HUGE problems with Janelle for the first few years and apparently treated her very poorly. Apparently Christine brought more ease and joy to the family. Christine and Janelle got along pretty well, but Meri was always a bit angry. Meri’s fertility issues caused turmoil in the family. It’s quite sad - she always wanted more kids. You could read their book Becoming Sister Wives. Kody basically said in a previous season that he only really knew love when he met Robyn. It has been clear to all viewers that she was the favorite romantically and that he was best friends with Janelle. Christine wanted Kody to love her romantically and was heartbroken that he could give that to Robyn, but not her.

@ShellBAtoms 9 месяцев назад

Another point I want to add to your account was that Meri brought Robyn into the family WITHOUT CONSULTING Janelle or Christine - KNOWING FULL WELL that it would crush Christine. It was an enormous act of passive aggression. Meri - as the first wife - was quite a bully to J, Ch, and their children. Maddie Brown Brush tweeted that Meri was a monster and abu$ive, and that she grew up in fear of her. Meri's plan to bring in wife #4 behind the backs of J and Ch, blew up in her face. Meri and Robyn had a very short lived "best buddy" friendship, where they were actually like mean-girl bullies to J and Ch. Meri thought she was the one doing the manipulating, but in the end she was the one that got outplayed. It didn't take long for Robyn to usurp all of Meri's power, and then become the only legal wife. Meri was then pushed to the side by both K and R, and pathetically strung along . Robyn showed little regard for how she upset the family dynamic. It eventually fractures the family. The fracture led to Ch leaving - and Janelle's support of Ch was misinterpreted as NOT supporting him - which Kody blew out of proportion - and has consequently pushed Janelle away also. Meri finally watched enough of the show clips of Kody saying horrible things about her on the show that he never said to her in person, and has realized (maybe) that Kody's not interested. Sam and Melissa, your perspective would be well received, I'm sure! You might find it interesting to go back and read their autobiography, where they highlighted some very significant early dysfunctional dynamics in the family, which play a major roll in how things roll out with the show. I've occasionally watched your videos in the past, as they popped up in my feed. Wishing you both all the best as you expand into this new topic! Congratulations to you both for successfully leaving the AUB - and embracing a healthier lifestyle!

@jacklynazure689 9 месяцев назад

Janelle was Meri's sister-in-law, which must have been incredibly hard for Meri to cope with as a very young woman. Janelle also went behind Meri's back to speak to Kody about joining his family (it's in their book). Christine courted and married Kody, whilst Janelle was very pregnant with Logan.

My boyfriend was basically fine after 4 days. I did have to go to the doctor for the dizziness but it resolved after a week with plenty of fluids and electrolytes. My parents had alpha and my dad actually called me to say my mom might have pneumonia and need to be hospitalized. She ended up only needing overnight care and no vent, but she was seriously ill for over a month and she was 54 with no serious health issues.

@crucialtaunt5717 9 месяцев назад

There is so much more involved with that ear-piecing segment. If Kody is angry at a wife, he ignores his kids from that wife. The daughter he took is an adopted daughter from Robyn (he legally divorced Meri to marry Robyn to supposedly adopt her 3 kids from a previous marriage) and he really has been neglecting his relationships with his bio kids. He was arguing with Janelle and two of her sons over Robyn and the covid rules, so he ignored Janelle's 17-year-old daughter who had nothing to do with it for 6 weeks over Christmas. He refused to take a week off from Robyn and her kids and go to Christine's 17-year-old daughter Ysabel's scoliosis surgery during covid. He's missed birthdays and neglected relationships with his sons and blamed the mothers. But he can take Aurora on a daddy-daughter date to get her ears pierced because she feeds his ego and fantasies about being a patriarch? As far as I am aware patriarchs take ultimate responsibility for their families, but Kody wanted the power but none of the responsibilities of being the patriarch. He's just chaos that blows in and out of all their homes on the rare occasion he can be torn away from Robyn, and he leaves everyone else to pick up the pieces from his whims. Sorry for writing a novel, but that ear-piercing segment on the show (not your reaction to it) really rubbed me the wrong way!!! 🤣But I do understand why it was such a big deal to them now, so thanks for explaining that.

They immediately stopped living in one house when Robyn came into the family. There were only 3 apartments in that one house. They moved to Vegas pretty soon after. They said it was because they were afraid of being prosecuted for living polygamy. Maybe it was because Robyn wasn't fitting into the housing set up. I don't know. But the setup in Vegas was good, each having their own house on a cul-da-sac. When they moved to Flagstaff, that was really the worst choice.

Even worse is that on the show Robyn implied that her ex was abusive but there are so many people out there who know him who have come out and said that is a lie. And there was an episode before the adoption where the kids went to visit their dad and they were so excited because that hadn’t been allowed to see him for a couple of years.

You both seem like lovely people and a lovely couple. As you watch episodes, you will see the decline of these families (as the money increased and the inequities, sadness and loneliness increased). You will see an adult son cry for the father who called on the son’s birthday to ask about Covid symptoms, forgetting that the day he called was his son’s birthday. You will see a father weasel out of being with his daughter as she underwent back surgery using Covid and needing to be with his young children with Robyn as an excuse, leaving her weeping and asking “is daddy here, did he come?”. There will be SO many concerning/bizarre situations. Watch for the subtleties of manipulation, gaslighting, guilt trips, obvious unfairness right into direct bullying/intimidation as you progress through episodes. I am not nor have been, a part of a high demand religion and even so, the behaviours and how certain wives are treated in this Brown family is so upsetting. Respectfully, I suggest taking breaks, get some fresh air, love each other, your children and family because as many have commented…train wreck/ wild ride ahead.

He had already been favoring them for some time but when Covid happened it was the perfect thing in their mind to excuse their behavior and turn it around on the other wives. Only prob is it completely backfired when the other wives learned all that time they were expected to follow these ridiculously strict rules(and were kept away from the family because they were accused of not doing so) Kody & Sobyn had a nanny they were allowing to come and go from their home to and from who knows where. That’s where the most quoted line of that particular season(can’t remember if it was 16 or 17) when Christine asked “What. Does. The nanny. Do?” trying to figure out why the nanny was allowed to come and go but their family was not. If you hear Christine say it you’ll understand why the periods and spaces. It was hilarious.
