Kody had far more children than he could care for, the kids of the original wives have since taken issue with the way their father has been a parent to them in comparison to his younger children.

In recent episodes of the series, it’s been clear that Kody’s relationships with his older kids have a large blockade standing in their way with Robyn in the middle of everything. According to some Reddit s, Robyn’s been the gatekeeper when it comes to Kody’s relationships with his older children, blocking those who she doesn’t want around. Reddit u/LilPoobles, Kody feels that Robyn’s the more comfortable person of the two of them to speak to, meaning the kids are “afraid” of him. u/Tiny-Conflict2107 explained, “Robyn is the gatekeeper to him having relationships with his other non-Robyn children.”

Although Robyn has long been held as one of the villains of Sister Wives, it’s clear that in recent seasons, she’s come across as far more of a villain than before. Kody’s only remaining wife has been a difficult part of the series for viewers, as she’s consistently advocated for the rest of the family to conform to her ways or it they’re doing something to wrong her. With Kody’s older children, it’s clear that Robyn doesn’t appreciate the way most of them speak to her, which makes it difficult for the kids to get through to Kody.

The Brown family patriarch feels that if his children aren’t being courteous in the way he deems appropriate toward Robyn, they’re being disrespectful to him. While he doesn’t understand that their relationship with him isn’t exactly the same as his relationship to Robyn, he’s made it clear to the majority of his kids that he doesn’t want to have a relationship with them without Robyn involved. This has pushed a lot of the Brown kids away from Kody, as they don’t want to condone Robyn’s victimization tactics. Sister Wives viewers have predicted this would happen, but seeing it is tough.
