Fans of Sister Wives are not surprised that none of Kody Brown's wives want to spend time with him. The patriarch implemented strict rules for his family during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and all but one of his spouses appear to be tired of dealing with his demands. Kody is now in a pickle, and he is trying to understand why his wives want to hang out with everyone but him.
Two years into a worldwide pandemic, Kody is still trying to convince his four wives to follow all of his rules. Without a doubt, the COVID-19 quarantine challenged the Sister Wives stars. Most families in the United States were stuck at home under one roof, but Kody's plural marriage situation meant that he was forced to make some serious decisions. His wives each lived in their own homes, which meant they were miles apart. The lack of togetherness was exacerbated by Kody's serious rules, which angered most of his spouses. While many have argued that his rigid restrictions were selfish, he feels that he was selfless when making hard decisions.
Sister Wives fans were not surprised that Christine and Janelle Brown were not following Kody's strict rules. Instead, both mothers decided to travel and allowed their children to live as if the world was not in lockdown. Naturally, Kody was furious that he couldn't control his second and third wives. Both women told cameras that they were over their husband and his controlling attitude, noting they chose each other instead of their spouse. Fans couldn't blame the wives for wanting some kind of agency over their lives, as well as a sense of normalcy.
The only wife who seems content to hang out with Kody is Robyn Brown, but she may be a casualty of the lockdown rules. Meri Brown, who has had a cold relationship with Kody over the last few years, seems as if she would like his company, but he is still ignoring her. Christine and Janelle have been the most vocal in terms of expressing their disdain. In fact, they have openly mocked their husband for worrying too much. After the last episode, fans joked that it looks like Kody wasn't bothered about his wives' opinions. The Sister Wives star may have wanted to self-isolate alone.
Kody is in a neverending fight between his wives and his rules, and he has yet to recognize that he may lose the battle. Kody is trying his best to please everyone, but it often seems like he is only looking out for himself. Christine was the first wife to become totally fed up with Kody's antics and leave. Fans now wonder if a few of Kody's other wives aren't too far behind.
Sister Wives airs Sunday at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
