Fans raised their eyebrows as they watched Robyn Brown meet Meri Brown in a Sister Wives Tell-All episode years ago. Robyn Brown shared her thoughts when it comes to childcare for her children.
It starts with Meri coming to terms with her only child going to college. This leaves her as good as alone as she shared her home with her daughter Mariah Brown. So a rather sad Meri decides that this is the time of her life.
But a co-wife and her sister wives share her husband do not seem at all empathize with her. Kody strongly suggests that before she starts looking for something to replace Mariah’s presence here at home. Both Kody Brown and her co-wife Robyn tell her not to look far. Especially Robyn Brown, because she seems to suggest something to fill Meri’s time.
Robyn Brown tells the first wife of the Sister Wives to look here. She has children to take care of the neighbors. That’s probably not what most empty litters want to hear.
Sister Wives number four says the conversation about Meri’s finding is driving her crazy. Robyn describes Meri as “thanking us all” for helping raise her daughter. Then Robyn Brown explains that she expects Meri to do the same for her – helping her raise her children.
Fans dropped their virtual jaws over this statement from the youngest wife in the Sister Wives tribe. When Robyn Brown joined the family, Mariah was already a teenager. While Christine Brown and Janelle Brown did diaper duty and bottle feeding for Mariah, Robyn certainly did not.
Kody Brown and Robyn Brown pleaded for Meri Brown to help with the youngsters. But it seems that Christine and Janelle had a different view on the first wife when it comes to disciplining the children.
Sisterwives of the future I guess- so u get ur hubby to marry 2 other women who will then raise your child/children but you do nothing? Gee, wish I had thought of that. I worked full time and raised 3 with a hubby that worked full time and helped. We got cheated.
Clearly, you haven’t watched the show from the beginning. These sister wives are EXPECTED to watch one another’s children. They all discussed this early on in the first season. Not only did each one acknowledge this they discussed the fact that this was the most common arrangement in the polygamous marriages they were very well familiar with. Mary even extolled the fact that she enjoyed being seen as just ANOTHER MOTHER to these kids and she stated she loved doing it. She had also PROMISED ROBIN that she would stick with her to run the new Jewelry business Robin started theoretically with the help of her sister wives. Ultimately no one was interested in doing it but Merry was going to stick to her promise to her CLOSEST AND HER MOST BELOVED OF ALL THE SISTER WIVES. THAT LASTED ABOUT TEN MINUTES. Apparently you weren’t watching when Merry essentially ABANDONED THE FAMILY ALTOGETHER.I guess it was part of her MANY MID LIFE CRISIS PERIODS. She left Robin high and dry, told EVERYONE she was NOT GOING TO HELP ANYONE WITH THEIR KIDS,Supposedly went to University which she also dropped in about 5 minutes and finally got involved with an online romance with a very tempting man…who turned out to be a woman who intended to blackmail her with their emails. She then announced she would be leaving the family but finally admitted everything. That was really the ABSOLUTE BREAKING POINT in her FOREVER COLD MARRIAGE TO CODY. I run across comments defending Merry a lot in the last year or so. All report MERRY IS THE BEST WIFE, HAS SUFFERED AT CODY’S COLDNESS TOWARD HER, as well as the problems with the other wives YADA YADA. Merry is the SINGLE OWNER OF ALL THE DISCOMFORT WITH EVERY ONE OF THE ADULTS IN THAT “MARRIAGE”. They are no longer married legally and she can leave anytime she wants. But she isn’t going to leave the family’s CASH COW which is the “Show”. I’m just suggesting based on Merry’s OWN HISTORY, that she is simply not highly worthy of you sympathy. There are very good reasons why she has problems with every other adult in that family and those problems were absolutely of her own making. ( I watched for several seasons, got tired of it and stopped. But once or twice a season, I have watched if there was nothing else I wanted to see.)
Meri seems to be a nice person, but she appears to have many insecurities, which makes it hard to be part of a plural family. Someone close to me is that way. Everything revolves around them. They take every word or look as a personal insult. It is draining to be around this person because ebt conversation is taken negatively.
Meri chose to be in a plural family where she is one of several women and there is only man. I don’t blame Kody. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.
