Kody Brown - Sister Wives

Unmistakably, Sister Wives has captured many details about the Brown family. While long-time watchers have connected with many of the family members, the show also has unearthed some of the major character flaws. For instance, it has revealed the sick way that Kody Brown gauges his love for each of his eighteen children.

Kody Brown Struggles To Connect With Many Of His Kids

During Sister Wives Season 19, TLC has shown there are many cracks in Kody Brown’s relationships. While it is natural for him to be struggling with the aftermath of his ex-wives leaving, they have also highlighted how difficult it has been for him to connect with a large number of his kids. Namely, Maddie Brown Brush and Gabriel Brown have been extremely vocal about their falling out. Sadly, Kody is estranged from many of his eighteen kids. Admittedly, his relationship with Garrison Brown was still rocky when he passed. But fans have seen the equation Kody seems to use to gauge his love for his kids.

Sick Way Kody Brown Gauges Love For His Kids

On Reddit, Sister Wives fans discuss the sick way that Kody Brown gauges love for his kids. First, a user says, “Kody loves his children based on…” Then, they reveal, “How much he loves their mothers. Sad but true. Compare his interaction with Aurora having a panic attack to Ysabel telling him she wants the spinal surgery because she’s in pain. Completely different.”

  • One fan adds, “Kody’s love comes with strings attached. Once you disagree with Kody and grow to be more worldly than him, he has no use for you.”
  • “There are a lot of scumbag ‘dads’ that do the same thing. They only see the kids they had with whoever they are with at the moment.”
  • “It’s not love. It’s who’s the golden mother of the day.”
  • Someone jokes, “If I don’t love you, blame your mother.”

Kody Brown Avoids

Sister Wives fans think Kody Brown’s response is avoidance of the pain that sometimes comes with caring. When Janelle chose the kids, Kody thought she was unloyal. After spinning the story to show how hurt he was by Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown, it was hard to relate with the kids. Likewise, he placed blame on them for spreading lies about him.

  • Another fan adds, “I completely agree. His affection for his kids has always been based on how much he loved their mothers. That’s why he always favored Leon and Janelle’s kids. When the COVID drama went down Gwen noted how Gabe and Garrison weren’t used to being treated this way by Kody. Unlike her and her siblings, they were prioritized by Kody before they spoke against him and before their mother supported them over Kody.”
  • Another fan sees his pain, “I definitely agree that the boys play a huge role in the favoritism of the household. It’s just that he favored Maddie too and doted on Savanah. His refusal to talk about Maddie cutting him off shows his pain over it. But he’ll never admit that it’s his own fault.”

More Fans Weigh In

While divorce is hard on everyone, Kody Brown seems to let his disdain for wives spill over to their corresponding children.

  • “I think that Kody is out of his depth with any truly dire situation such as Truley’s renal failure or Ysabel’s chronic pain requiring surgery and a long recovery. That’s the partner’s job (meaning, the women-folk) to handle. It’s a character flaw, I don’t think that love factors in, not really. He’s just there for the fun and attention because he is chronically shallow and immature. As far as Aurora’s panic attack, I don’t think that was necessarily a display of love, as much as it was for him to draw attention to himself by being able to cosplay as a ‘hero.’”
  • But another viewer makes a blanket statement. They say, “Unpopular opinion: he doesn’t love any of his children. Not even the tenders.”
