How is it fair that Ariella Brown can express herself but the OG3 children cannot and haven’t been able to for years? Kody Brown openly admitted that she would grab onto his leg when he would head to another wife’s home and not let go. So, why was he allowed to soothe her but the other Sister Wives children were at fault? Keep reading for more details.
How Ariella Brown Can Express Herself But OG Kids Can’t?
Sister Wives viewers have long struggled with how Kody Brown and Robyn Brown have raised Ariella Brown. She is their youngest and they have more than coddled her. Fans have questioned why she had a pacifier beyond her toddler years. This was cause for concern and then, this current season, things have only gotten worse with Ari. She once had said that Christine Brown Woolley and Kody needed to go on dates to save their marriage. However, she now allegedly hates Christine, per Kody.
Ari is mad that Christine left her father and, to him, that is a sign of loyalty. There was also talk about Ariella not wanting her dad to leave when he had to rotate the wives. She would hold onto his leg and not let him go so Robyn made Kody comfort her. To former second wife, Janelle Brown, that was “poor parenting” because the OG kids went through the same rotation and they were fine. Now, fans are questioning why Ariella could express her feelings but the other children were never allowed to.
In a Reddit thread, the OP noted how it was okay for Ariella Brown to have a meltdown when Kody was leaving. However, when Robyn announced she was pregnant, it was not okay for the OG kids to have any feelings about that. They also pointed out how everyone had to accept Robyn’s family’s needs but not the OG families and what mattered to them. The OP concluded with this:
- Seems rather selfish for being the last to join the family.
So, could Sister Wives fans make it make sense or were they at a loss, as well?
‘Selfish’ & ‘Entitled’
Fans immediately called out Robyn Brown for being consistently “selfish” and “entitled.” She has been that way since she joined the family. So, why was Ariella Brown allowed to have constant tantrums but the older Browns could not be sad about Robyn being pregnant?
- I can see Ari upset because she wants her dad to stay. I was so confused by Robyn’s response to it though. Like it’s okay for her to be upset but you need to help her through those emotions while Kody goes to be with the other wives and their kids.
- I do not believe a single word out of Kody and Robyn’s mouths. They wanted to be isolated from everyone else. They are trying to backtrack and rewrite the past.
- Ariella maybe the youngest child, but she needs to learn that you don’t always get your way in life.
- Because the rules are 100% different for Robyn and her kids.
- This story just proves that Kody was spending almost all his time at Robyn’s house. If he was rotating houses every 4 days that’s something Ari would have been used to so why would she freak out that he was leaving.
Sister Wives viewers believe that Kody was likely always at Robyn’s home. That is why Ariella struggled with her dad leaving. However, it was confusing because he allegedly had to travel for work. If that’s true, she would be used to him being gone. At the same time, fans felt Ari needed to learn she cannot always get what she wants.
Do you think there is a double standard for Ariella and the OG Brown children? More so, do you think this is all Robyn’s doing? Let us know and watch Sister Wives Sundays on TLC.
