Sister Wives’ Kody Brown Gives Controversial Parenting Advice To Others Amid Rift With Adult Children

Kody Brown from Sister Wives has offered some controversial advice in a personalized video for a fan. He first appeared on the show with his four wives – Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown. Initially seen as a caring father and loving husband, Kody’s behavior changed as he developed stronger feelings for his youngest wife, Robyn. This led him to neglect his first three wives and the 12 children he shared with them. Kody began spending more time with Robyn and treated his children with her much better than his older kids with Janelle, Meri, and Christine.

@90sipsofrealitea recently reposted a video of Kody revealing his parenting advice. Kody mentioned that babies are typically “easy to love” because they are “sweet” and “vulnerable.” He also emphasized the importance of loving children as they grow older, stating, “love your children when they get older, when they get mouthy.” Kody advised never allowing children to disrespect you in a way that would cause resentment and stressed the need for boundaries in maintaining respect.

What Kody’s Parenting Advice Means For His Relationship With His Own Children

Kody May Be Holding Onto Negative Feelings Towards His Children

When Kody first appeared on the show, he appeared to genuinely enjoy being a father to his many children and treated them all equally. However, after falling deeply in love with Robyn, he began prioritizing his relationship with her children over his own. He preferred taking Robyn’s children to school over his children from his other wives. Kody also declined to help Christine with putting their children to bed when asked for his help. As time passed, his relationships with his adult children worsened. Kody was even accused of engaging in a physical altercation with his son, Paedon Brown.

Kody’s advice to new parents involved a lot of recommendations, indicating that he may have some regrets about how he raised his children. He appears to be upset about how his relationships with Paedon, Gabe, Gwendlyn Brown, and others have declined over the past three years. The somber tone of Kody’s advice implies that he wishes he could go back in time to foster stronger bonds with his children. However, it seems that Kody has moved on from trying to reconcile with them and possibly harbors resentment toward them for not maintaining contact with him and his favorite wife, Robyn.

Our Take On Kody’s Controversial Parenting Advice

Kody’s Parenting Advice Might Just Be Spot On

Considering Kody’s unequal treatment of his adult children, his parenting advice doesn’t hold much weight. He is accused of neglecting his children to the point that they are no longer in contact. Despite having 18 children, he seems to lack many qualities of a great father. However, there’s no denying that his advice could be helpful to some parents. Children need discipline as much as they need love from their parents. Although the Sister Wives cast member may be feeling resentment towards his older children, hopefully, they can all find a way to make their relationship work.
