Robyn Brown Finally Addresses What Exactly The Nanny Does

During Season 17, Episode 2, Robyn Brown sheds some light on the purpose of her nanny. She clarifies that her husband Kody has a lot of responsibilities. He often finds himself busy and away from the house.

Robyn explains that she leans on her nanny for support because she doesn’t feel right tugging at Kody to give her more when he’s already stretching himself so thin. At the end of it all, Robyn argues she has a nanny just to make things easier on Kody.

Sister Wives Fans Crucify Her

The OP of a Reddit thread who discusses this moment pokes flaws in Robyn’s reasoning. As fans know, it was not uncommon for Christine or Janelle to manage nearly a dozen children on their own. There was never a moment where Christine required a nanny to help her take care of the children. At the moment, Robyn Brown only has two children who require a significant amount of care. Moreover, neither of those children are babies anymore. So, the idea that Robyn still needs a nanny has fans scratching their heads.

One fan penned: “Please correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Christine have her & Janelle’s kids, while Janelle was at work, without any help? That could potentially be 11 kids at once, by herself. Robyn has what, 3 teenagers or young adults & 2 small kids & needs help? Give me a break, Robyn!!”

“I know…her defense is always…I can’t expect Kody to help….okay? What is she doing all day? Seriously? She didn’t/doesn’t work outside of home. Doesn’t that make her a stay at home mom? Not to mention. Many WORKING MOMS don’t have nanny’s. Kody & Robyn have access to all the family money. Do the math.” A second fan chimed in.

“I hate that no one ever turns it around on her when she says she knows Kody is busy. Why no one ever asks, Why are you okay with the father of your children being neglectful and non-existent?” A third added.
