The choices of Sister Wives stars, Maddie Brown Brush and Mykelti Brown Padron were very different from those of Robyn Brown’s kids. Seemingly, they aren’t good enough for Aurora and Breanna Brown.
One Big Family With Many Differences
After the conversation between Robyn Brown and her two oldest daughters, Aurora and Breanna Brown, Sister Wives fans saw inconsistencies. They noticed stark differences between Robyn’s kids and many of the other Brown kids. Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown raised their kids very differently from Robyn’s children. One of the big comparisons was that Mykelti Brown Padron and Maddie Brown Brush were making very different decisions at 20 years old.
Mykelti And Maddie Brown’s Choices Not Good Enough For Robyn’s Kids
On Reddit, several Sister Wives fans discuss how different Maddie Brown Brush and Mykelti Brown Padron were from Robyn’s kids. First, a user says, “Maddie and Mykelti were married at 20…” Then, they add, “Watching yesterday’s episode and it’s crazy to think that Aurora is older than Maddie and Mykelti were when they got married, and Breanna is the same age. Before that Maddie tried to join the mainstream Mormon church without Janelle’s permission. Same with Mykelti. Talk about infantilizing your children! Not that I’m advocating getting married at 20, that is very very young to get married. It’s just kinda bonkers when you think about the difference in Robyn’s kids and the other kids.”
- Another Redditor adds, “Yeah Maddie was already pregnant a second time by 23.”
- “I always got the impression both Maddie & Mykelti got married to escape 🤷🏻♀️.”
- “I agree but there is definitely something off about the DABSA. When you look at them compared to the older kids. I mean Aurora’s hair and clothes were like mini-me of Robyn.”
- “It is WILD to realize how old A & B actually are because they honestly seem frozen at about ages 13/14. Robyn has ruined her children. Their only hope at anything resembling a ‘normal life’ is to get away from her and never look back.”
Fans Notice Mykelti And Maddie Brown Were ‘Parentified’
Notably, Robyn Brown is getting criticism for babying Aurora and Breanna. However, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown get pushback for expecting their kids to step into parenting roles too early.
- “Yeah, I think the parenting styles are at the two extremes. The earlier wives had the older girls help out so much that they were acting as adults at an early age. And probably were in a rush to get away from all those children. Then there’s Robyn who shelters and cuddles her children and has a nanny for them. Neither side is ideal.”
- “The older kids were parentified, the younger infantilized. It’s sad, really.”
- “I mean Garrison was buying a house, Gwen was getting engaged while Aurora was getting her ears pierced….”
- “Which is so strange when you realize Gwen and Aurora are only a few months apart in age. They and Gabe were the ‘triplets’.”
Robyn Brown Was Overbearing
As Sister Wives fans discuss the difference between Mykelti and Maddie Brown’s decisions, many think Robyn Brown was overbearing with her kids.
- Furthermore, someone adds, “Yeah, the infantilization is abusive. They’re 20 and can’t go check out a church without some big dramatic conversation with Mom about it? It was like they were children asking permission and trying to convince her to say yes. They need to get out of that house and start their own adult lives.”
- “Yes! That’s exactly how I felt after watching that scene. Robyn has made those kids fearful of simply living! It’s completely normal to want to get out of the house and meet people your own age. Including guys! I thought it was completely ridiculous to have the conversation that she had with him. A whole big, dramatic sit-down? Robyn has no freaking clue how to do anything correctly or appropriately. Let your grown daughters live their lives, for God’s sake!”
- “And the way her mom manipulated her by changing the ‘I want to look for a boy‘ to ‘you want girl friends- you meant you wanted female friends’ type thing and THAT burns me to no end.”
All An Act
Additionally, other Sister Wives fans feel like the conversation with Aurora, Breanna, and Robyn Brown was an act that may not be comparable to Mykelti and Maddie Brown’s experiences.
- “I thought their conversation was bad acting. It was a script conversation made for reality TV. Didn’t feel anything natural in their dialogue flow. The girls looked weird because they act as bad as their mother.”
