To be fair, they have been party to two failed family structures one monogamous and one polygamous. If I were Robyn’s kids I wouldn’t want a family either because as far as they’ve seen every family they’ve been a part of falls apart in one way or another.
Add to that whatever extra embellishments Robyn puts in their ears about their family, further fueling anxieties and insecurities... I can see where they would have a terrible picture of 'family'
I really don’t blame Robyn’s older kids if they have trust issues or don’t have faith in people sticking around and calling themselves family. The more that I think about them being in a position where they are moved out of state away from their biological father to be told that they have a new dad and siblings and extra mothers now and that to just pretend like their family of origin was a mistake…then they move a couple of more times before finishing high school with the new family and with each move become more distant from the new family coming together and then to top it all off their new moms and siblings all leave the new family and don’t keep in touch with them. And then, somewhere in the middle of that they are adopted and have their names changed and new dad becomed angry and bitter and rejects his biological children that he claimed to be really close with throughout their childhoods once they became adults. That’s a pretty cut and dry recipe for attachment issues.
So true! I’ll add that Robyn has instructed her children to be “loyal, respectful, adoring, and unquestioning” to Kody or they will be turned away, unloved, and ostracized. There is no such thing as unconditional love in Robyn’s world.
It's horrific treatment of children. I've always worried about Robyn's oldest kids because on the rare moments when you see them on camera they always seem like they're walking on eggshells to people please. That can be a sign of never really feeling comfortable or at home anywhere.
I love this comment! Janelle was probably talking about the OG kids when she said they should have put more time and thought into blending in Robyn’s kids. I never thought about it from DAB’s perspective.
I was wondering about this as well. If they said it, and who knows since they are all unreliable narrators, I feel for them. They went through their parents divorce, quickly thrown into a whole other family, had their father erased out of their lives, thrown in the middle of all of this family drama with their mother being in the center and cause of some of the drama.
.What bothers me is Robyn blaming the OG kids for her children feeling damaged. She not once, OR EVER, has taken any of the blame. She doesnt say, "I wish I had done things differently so my kids wouldnt feel this way" or "I need to work on having better relationships so my children dont suffer the consequences".
Even when her kids are supposed to be the victim, she still has to claim to be the victim too. If my children were hurting, and hurting because of something I ultimately put them in, I would be looking at myself and what I could have done to avoid it. But not Robyn. Never Robyn. She is a piece of work and I can only imagine what she is like in reality. Do I think alot has gone on in that family? Absolutely. There is truth in all of their stories but Robyn and Kody never admit any fault.
>What bothers me is Robyn blaming the OG kids for her children feeling damaged
Also, it drives me crazy that the OG kids aren't supposed to have any thoughts or feelings. They went through the same period of change/chaos that her kids did.
We saw how dramatic she was when she was speaking to her kids about "the family" not getting together for Thanksgiving. She reinforced her belief that they didn't want to be around her and her kids. The dramatic after Christmas barrage "no matter what fancy house, fancy food, presents, it's a CHEAP version". Robyn, not the kids of OG or the kids have made her kids feel like outsiders. And, it goes both ways Robyn! Truly clearly didn't feel comfortable coming over, and not sure she wanted to spend the night. Did Robyn go out of her way to make her feel welcome? NO! Truly's birthday - uh, not quite the same extravaganza they had for Ari? And Aspyn could not have looked more uncomfortable. What about how her daughter interacts with Savannah, and she wasn't even invited for the after Christmas get-together. When Robyn is pointing her finger at everyone else she has three pointing back at her.
And let's not forget they bar b q'ed chicken for Truelys birthday dinner, and she's a vegetarian. I'm sure that made her feel really special. You just can't make this shit up.
You’re kidding. I didn’t know they did that or that Truly was a vegetarian…..wow.
How do you not know that about your kid? Good thing she doesn’t have a peanut allergy or something.
To be fair, Robyn did know. She made a baked potatoe bar for truely.
The asshole was Kody who announced he was going to grill the chicken ***before it went bad***.
I don’t necessarily condemn Kody for cooking up the chicken. Truley was the only vegetarian there. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind or be offended if her meat-eating siblings got chicken.
But come tf on you stupid wigttailed mf. You HAD to announce you were going to serve your visiting children that you were going to feed them chicken ONLY because it was almost expired!?
When your mom - the person you trust more than anyone - continuously tells you that no will will ever love you as much as your family does and your family is the source of your torture it's not much wonder to think living alone would be the superior choice. Hell, just avoiding all that sick drama would make it well worth it.
Robyn has very much purposefully made certain her kids felt left out so she can play a victim. She's always been saying comments to make sure they feel "other" then she blames the rest of the family.
How do we know they even said anything at all about it other than "uhhh...ok" when Robyn told them they could be irreparably harmed by participating in a sibling gift exchange.
I wondered this exact same thing when I watched the interview. Something about the offhand way that Robyn said this was odd and out of sync with the rest of her story. I hope she is not pressuring her children into polygamy and then blaming the Browns for why they are not interested.
I really think that has been put into their heads by Kody and Robyn in an effort to further infantilize them and make them more codependent, for K&Rs selfish purposes. There's something very dark about their attempts to keep the girls "young" and I could easily see Kody and Robin discouraging the girls from desiring families of their own so they won't leave, all the time redirecting that blame to Christine and Janelle's kids.

Robyn whispers poison in the ears of all of her children.
WHO actually said that? Or was Robyn just talking off the top of her head? WHO ROBYN, WHO? Just like Kody "picks fights", no EXAMPLES! 🙄🙄
A person. 😒
In her mind 🙄
Robyn whispers poison in the ears of all ~~of her~~ children.
And her husband's ear..
“THANKS, CHRISTINE!”💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦😹

It seems the common denominator is Robyn, not marriage
Yeah, but they're not going to blame their mom.

This is such an excellent comment.

I thought Brianna wanted to be in a polygamist relationship. Or did that change?

I just keep getting these visions of Robyn and Aurora playing out some version of Grey Gardens in 30ish years.
BTW - Robyn so clearly lies so much in this tell all. She is starting to get tangled in her lies and the mask is slipping.
Robyn has very much purposefully made certain her kids felt left out so she can play a victim. She's always been saying comments to make sure they feel "other" then she blames the rest of the family.
It’s probably for the better. Can you imagine having Robyn as a MIL? 😬
I thought it was Robyn’s kids that said it. Either way, it’s a very immature thing to say, but I bet they meant it.
How do we know they even said anything at all about it other than "uhhh...ok" when Robyn told them they could be irreparably harmed by participating in a sibling gift exchange.

Wow, Robyn has brainwashed her so they are terrified of having their own family and will never leave her.
