Kids from Sister Wives TV show struggle to adjust

October 28th, 2011 by | Permalink

When Kody Brown, the patriarch of the family on the tv show “Sister Wives,” added one more wife to the family (bringing the total up to four), he apparently also added some unexpected tension between the kids (of which there are now 17).

A preview of the next episode shows tensions mounting in the house as Kody’s biological children appear to have problems accepting the step-siblings that joined the family with his newest wife, Robyn.

Madison, the oldest daughter of Kody and wife Janelle, complained, “We know Dayton, Aurora and Breanna come from a different family, but you can’t tell us to change…Yeah, we’re making changes. They have to make changes as well.”

Logan, the oldest of the kids, claims that change is a big contributing factor to the problem. The group was just getting acquainted with the newest members of the family when they suddenly left their suburban Utah home and headed for Las Vegas.

Logan said, “You can’t expect a massive amount of change to come along without situations boiling over…That’s what happened.”

Robyn doesn’t exactly accept that, saying, “I do see the difference with treatment of Dayton, Aurora and Breanna…I’ve waited a year thinking it would change, and I don’t really see it completely changing. I see it in some cases actually getting worse. If (they) don’t feel like they’re a part of this family, they can choose, at a certain age, to not be here with me anymore. They can choose to live with their biological father.”

Kody expressed his concern: “I’ve very concerned about some kind of problems that stem from bullying in my family…I’m at a loss. I’m just figuring there are millions of other parents just like me that are wondering what the heck to do with their kids.”

    No, there aren’t millions of other parents out there who have yet another live in lover and her kids. This man makes me sick.

    It is hard enough to integrate two families in a second marriage, much less four. Add to this moving to another state, money problems, a stressed marriage with one of the wives, lack of employment and a new baby; and you pretty much have a recipe for very hard times. The parents need to be a living examle to their children right now and show compassion and acceptance for the new family members. Period. This is the life they have chosen and they are living examples to thier children whether they like it or not. My heart goes to all of the children as they are dealing with alot right now.
