The latest Sister Wives episode divided viewers. But, fans worry about Robyn Brown’s daughters, Aurora and Breanna Brown.
Despite being in their twenties, the young women revealed they were seeking Robyn’s approval to attend church and pursue dating. This decision struck many as overly dependent and sparked a wave of concern online.
Viewers felt sympathetic after seeing Aurora and Breanna’s awkwardness with Robyn. Many fans think the sisters are under strict parental control. It may hinder their emotional growth and independence.
One Reddit user summed up the sentiment: “Robyn is controlling and manipulative. Yes, they are adults and can ‘leave’ at any time, but they walk on eggshells and don’t want to upset their mother. I hope they finish school and move away.”

Sister Wives: Aurora & Breanna Brown’s Emotional State Raises Eyebrows
Fans, beyond the church and dating talk, focused on Breanna’s demeanor during the scene. Several viewers noted that she appeared on the verge of tears or hesitant to speak freely.
“Whenever Breanna speaks, she looks like she’s about to burst into tears or she’s apprehensive about what she is saying,” wrote one fan on Reddit. “Aurora seems more relaxed, but both girls give the impression they are overly sheltered.”
For some, the scene was yet another sign that Robyn and Kody Brown have created an isolated environment for their children. Fans speculate that this has stunted the girls’ social development, leaving them ill-prepared for adult life.
Aurora and Breanna were so strange—they are adults in college, but seem afraid to voice any of their wants/thoughts/opinions.

They seemed so scared to even *discuss* going to a church with Robyn. They are so stunted, it’s bizarre #SisterWives
Sister Wives: Viewers Call for Change: “They Deserve Independence”
Sister Wives shows the Brown family’s strange dynamics. Fans were especially moved by Aurora and Breanna Brown’s situation. Many are calling for the young women to break free from their parents’ control and seek independence.
“I can’t snark on these two anymore,” another fan wrote. “I just feel bad for them. They deserve to live their lives and not worry so much about their parents’ expectations.”
Some viewers suggested therapy to help the sisters cope with their past. “Those girls went through it too with the whole mess, and I don’t know that their mother, being someone who believes so firmly in plural marriage, can understand,” one commenter shared.
