Garrison Has Always Been The Child To Openly Challenge Kody's Authority

- In the trailer for Season 18 of Sister Wives, TLC gives viewers a glimpse of the upcoming discord in the Brown family. One of the scenes that really struck me was the clip of Janelle's son, Garrison, stating that "he no longer needed a father figure." As a father, this was a powerful statement. I've seen a multitude of instances where Kody has been an absentee father but there has been a long running rivalry brewing between Kody and Garrison.
Currently, I just started watching season 9 and it hit me there only child we have seen disciplined on the Sister Wives franchise has been Garrison. In fact, he is also the only child to openly challenge Kody during the show.
In anticipation of the upcoming season, I want to reach back and look at the conflict between Garrison and Kody so we have a foundation to better understand where they are now.
If you like this type of video give a thumbs up.
Let's have the conversation.

Kody was always telling Garrison that HE was the General and Garrison should just follow orders. Funny, Kody, Garrison was actually in the military.
LOL. You're right.
Was it Gabe or Garrison who spoke back to Kody say something about soldiers revolted against the generals?
Yep,and Garrison is in a better position then Kody when it came to where he is in life. Garrison bought a house,he's got two cats,and he looks,if you go on his social media,happy. All of the kids who are on social media and you talk to them they are just really nice and kind people. That's Janelle and Christine.
@@tstarr8314That was Garrison that told Kody that.
I remember when Garrison said that to Kody. I already knew Kody was a dumbass. I jumped in the air and did a fist pump! It showed that Kody was always saying that to him and he thought about the reply. He came up with that answer one day when he had nothing better to do, then he put it in his pocket, quietly sat on it, and whipped it out right at the perfect moment. It was beautiful.
This hits hard now. Rip sweet Garrison
Right, I had to come back to watch this.
They have two parents Janelle and Christine. You can even see how well David is doing as the new father figure not only for Christine’s children but even Janelle . Good on David.
David's had some practice at being a parent! He has 8 grown kids that are doing just fine. That's the academy award for parenting! Between he and Christine, it's going to be standing room only for 'whole family' dinners! Either that or they have to rent a hall and get a caterer! 8 + 6 + spouses (or g.f.) + kids = a whole lot!
@@sallywasagoodolgalIndeed. My grandparents have six children, 18 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren. They still insist that we hold our family Christmas get together at their home. Even if only about half of us end up attending, they always need to empty the garage for extra room and the house is bursting. They wouldn't have it any other way.
Gwen's wedding pics say it all about how they feel about David. Happy for all of them.
The data seems to suggest having two moms is as good as having two opposite sex parents, in fact, kids that are raised by lesbian mothers are often highly functional adults. My son was raised by 2 women, my mom and myself. And he grew up to be a kind, sensitive, well behaved kid that rarely stepped out of line.
Who is David?
Garrison was a unique age for kids in the family. In every way that matter, Logan was Garrison's father figure, not Kody. Garrison would have been able to clearly remember who took care of him and Janelle's other children in addition to Christine, and it was never Kody.
The other children had a deep respect for Logan, and I think he tried to encourage his siblings (his brothers in particular) to behave in certain ways. When Logan left for college, his siblings didn't just lose having their brother at home. They lost one of their primary caregivers and their only healthy father figure. I'm sure Garrison understood the complex reasons why Logan didn't really come back after he left home.
This all likely combined to cause Garrison to be one of the family members who had the most realistic and accurate views of Kody early on. That's a hard road to walk as a child. We see Garrison refuse to accept Kody's bs at a pretty early age. It's clear he has little respect for Kody, and I don't blame him.
I sincerely believe all of this is why Garrison accepts the reality of what a horrible father and husband Kody is in season 16 & 17 without the emotion we see from Gabe. Garrison already understood who and what Kody was. And Garrison accepted Kody wasn't worth his time and emotions. I say good for him.
It's hard to recognize when your parent isn't worth a damn. Garrison recognized it, accepted it, and kept moving. Logan, Janelle, and Christine raised him right.
You're right. Logan was the disciplinarian at every confessional and tell-all with the older children. He would say a few words to them and they would correct.
Very well said 👏🏻🎯
🎯💯🎯
also with age and/or maturity you recognize your parents outside of just being your parents, they become people with faults and etc...
that helps with breaking off familial relationships
@jblkcns had a sister like that. Dad was farming, working at a factory or out helping grow food for the family. For me, she was my father figure and guider in life.
Janelle has raised some amazing children.They are smart and tough like their Mother.I know she has to be so proud of them all.God bless
They had two parents that were there for them. Christine was the stay at home mom, and Janelle was the working mom. They both did an amazing job and it isn't surprising that they remain close.
@@karenholmes6565 Meri , brought Janelle & Christine into the marriage unit . One they started having most of babies in this situation ship. Meri isolated herself from them. Sometimes I feel bad for scary Meri
Me too
The favor in Janelle’s sit it is that all her children are successful so she’ll lack for nothing eventually.
The only child I question out of the older ones is Mykelti. I honestly think she got more attention from Kody because she got parented by default due to the fact she lived with Robyn. Janelle and Christine raised smart,capable and really great kids.
Healthy kids are SUPPOSED to push boundaries and think for themselves. The fact that Kody doesn’t know this is a BIG clue of his immaturity.
What bugs me to is Kody talks about respect being the family motto. Where was his respect for his wives? Where was his respect for his children? Kody wants the big moments. Maddie's wedding? He performs the ceremony,Mykelti's wedding he's front and center,and at Aspyn's he "knighted" Mitch!! When you don't give your kids the small things you cannot expect them to respect you when day to day stuff pops up. You're right kids are supposed to push bounderies but when a parent,who is there,speaks up and says,"Cut that out." you're not going to question it. You're just going to stop and that's it. Paedon mentioned that there were two parents who had the respect of the children and that was Janelle and Christine. He said that when Robyn would tell Hunter to do something he would tell her,"No." and it ended there. Kody stopped caring about the older kids because they stopped viewing him as a hero. In Robyn's kids eyes he was still the hero because he came into their lives when they needed it because Robyn was not doing a great job co-parenting with her ex and through adoption now she doesn't have to.
@@dawnclark4635Agree.All the weddings became about Kody, even his friend’s. I will say I’m sure the directors had something to do with this. They thought that was something we all wanted to see. Even though I’m sure Kody didn’t give it a second thought that he would be taking the attention from the bride and groom’s special day.
I'm 44 years old and my father can look over his glasses at me and I'll still burst into tears. It's never been fear of my father, but fear of disappointing him. Kody's kids never had that respect for Kody cuz he's a loser
I tell people to this day,"I'm 43 years old and I'm scared of my mom and people will look at me and say,"You're scared of your mom?" I'm like,'It's a healthy level of fear and respect." She passed away three months ago and I know that if I get stupid she'll send a lightening bolt for me. (It's become a joke that my dad uses to cope. "She'll send a lightening bolt for me.") I don't really fear my mother but I know that she was the disciplinarian in our family. We just didn't want to make her unhappy and I know that I just wanted her to be proud of me.
Wow, you will burst into tears over a look, you don't seem to be an emotionally developed adult.
@KS-cl8br ha. You don't know my father. He's a pretty scary dude. And thank you for being a complete troll. I'm a fully functional adult.
That’s what happens when you’re a deadbeat dad, he’s just a sperm donor.
Facts! I need my dad more now then I ever did and I'm in my 40s
I have always said that Kody wants the big moments. He wants the special occasions and that includes things like performing Maddie and Caleb's wedding ceremony,being front and center at Mykelti and Tony's wedding and even going as far as to "knight" Mitch at their wedding. Honestly,when the kids got older he gave up on those things because those kids question him and it annoys him to challenged. He wants the kids who are still viewing him as a hero and the older kids no longer see him that way. They see him for a deadbeat dad and that's all that's left for him. He gets Robyn's kids because they've browbeat and brainwashed them enough to make them think he is a "super hero". Kody has given up on having those big moments with the kids who aren't Robyn's because he can't convince them he's anything worthwhile to them.
The irony of Garrison saying that he doesn't need a father figure is, if everything said is to be believed, he has become a father figure to many of his younger siblings. He's the one that's been there when Kody hasn't.
Here to remember Garrison. Rest Easy❤
What I find so sad is all of the forgotten middle children. The older and younger ones received so much more effort and attention, but Kody was too busy for the middle ones, they were essentially raised by their older siblings. How can they be expected to give respect, love, or honor to someone who didn’t bother to even know them.😢
You know I hadn’t really thought of things like that, you are so right!!
Mockingjay salute to Hunter, Gabe, Garrison, Savannah, Paedon, Gwen and Ysabel.
He was too 'busy' for all of them
@@SurvivingDaily2 while my mom was my best friend, I’m a daddy’s girl through and through. My dad even lives with my husband, son and I. (Seperate living area in our house but we spend a lot of time all of us together) it makes me so sad these kids don’t have a strong bond with their dad.
I think Logan and Aspyn would disagree with you. Those 2 kids were full-time nannies by 10 for their individual households. Ari and Sol are the only kids who get to be kids in that family
Watching this after Garrison's passing. He and Gabe are my favorites of the kids. They fought, as siblings often do, but also seemed really close.
Someone posted a clip earlier this week of Kody saying he was the general and his kids were just private or Sargents or something like that. Then Garrison commented about a war where they got sick of their shitty General and took him out and shot him and I died laughing 😂😂😂
Wow! I must have missed that episode! I'd still be laughing, I'm sure!😂
Yes that was Awesome!!!
That was funny. Kody made believe he didn't hear him.
@@jblkcns Kidney lives in a make-believe world!
I saw that, he said they “killed the General” staring right at Kody while he is walking away.
He said he didnt need a father figure, but deep down he missed his dad. But he wasnt willing to bow before Queen Robyn to get to his father. I dont blame him.
It’s crazy that you mention if Kody were to punish a child by taking their electronics away, that Janelle would be the one to have to enforce that punishment… because that’s literally what Kody tried to do with the “Covid rules”. He supposedly made up all of these rules, yet he wasn’t in any of the households to make sure the rules were being followed. He just distanced himself from everyone and assumed that no one was following “his” rules.
Always remember that while Kody insisted on his Covid-rules, he was also out grocery shopping with Robyn without wearing masks, without using hand disinfectant, without distancing from other people...
Cody abandoned all his children besides Robyn's 🙄
I feel sorry for their remaining children. God help them❤
High five Garrison!!!
Nailed it! Kody was playing a role. Security and cameras were there. Time to play the role of threatening dad and disciplinarian. I always felt that Kody would have ignored his fighting sons, pretended not the know them and left it to Janelle to handle if there had been no audience. Janelle was not a disciplinarian. The boys did not listen to her. BTW, TLC paid for the movie and refreshments, not Kody.
Thank you! I agree with everything you said. I also, think TLC paid of the movie because Kody had no idea about the pricing or whether they had a preferred card or not. TLC foots the bill for the movies, dinners, vacations, and the steaks that Kody consistently burns on the grill.
🎯
Janelle struggled in Vegas because she didn't have a job to run to and had to take care of her kids. She didn't even do Savannah's hair. Just sent her over to Christine's. I like Janelle but she also benefited from the early family dynamics
@@Indigo565
They Brown family were idealist and true believers in their faith. 25-30yrs ago. And loved Kody very much. The OG3 wanted Kody to love them . They are the ones to sacrifice their lives for Kody crumbs of affection.imo
@@mytakeonrealityI can hear the pain in your voice when you write about the burnt steaks😮 😂
My condolences to Janelle and her immediate family. I am so sorry for an inconceivable loss, his life was way too short. May your fondest memories of Garrison live on in your hearts because I know he will in ours. Keeping you all in my prayers during this difficult time. In honor of Robert Garrison Brown, I will wear his favorite Bob's Floral. Rest Peacefully in His Arms.
He told them to “”MAN UP”” why he’s never man up
How do you tell kids to Man up when their kids? SMDH
Kody was a weekend dad. He was just there a couple days a week and he wasn’t invested enough to parent any of his kids outside of Robyn’s house. Gwen said he threw her into a wall so he was neither friend nor protector. Just an emotionally disregulated dude who was there occasionally.
you’re being generous by saying weekend, Dad. Every third weekend maybe for a couple of hours.
@@colleen1219 He was just the sperm donor, dead beat dad…
Over $400 could've rented dozens of movies and groceries for all of their families. The look on Christine's and Janelle was priceless.
I was a single mom that took my son to almost all of the big movies. We went to matinees. Our local theater had a deal for the matinees. If you kept your extra large coke cups and plastic popcorn bucket you could refill it all for 5 bucks, and the tickets were 10 dollars. So it was about 15 bucks to go to see a movie on a weekend. We went all of the time! It is utter foolishness to buy lots of candy and go at night, particularly when kids are too tired to enjoy it properly anyways
Kody was showing off for the cameras .📸
Let's not forget when Solomon raised his fist in anger and Garrison tried to discipline his little brother and Kody jumped in on it by shutting Garrison down and not teaching Sol anything
I forgot about that! I was confused why Kody got so pissy with Garrison for correcting his little brother when he saw him misbehaving. It's a trip to watch the seasons back with what we now know. I think Garrison was the first of ALL the children and wives to not be with the bulljunk. Kody was always intimidated by Garrison and tried to be buddies with the rest of the boys until they started seeing through the bullcaca.
I thought that moment was pretty ironic seeing as Logan was required to parent his younger siblings and was praised for it but Garrison corrects his little brother once and he gets reprimanded? None of it makes sense.
Exactly, Garrison should not have had to discipline Solomon. It wasn't his job. He stepped up, because Kody failed at it. It was Solomon that lost out because he didn't learn anything.
@@Ellenrealityfan90, the issue makes sense only because it was Sol who was being corrected by Garrison. Kody to the rescue of Robyn’s son to earn Robyn’s favor … or to keep out of the doghouse for not jumping in Sol’s defense.
Well,Kody hs more reactionary to begin with. I remember him trying to teach Truely to ride a bike and that girl was scared. What kind of parent doesn't know if some traumatic event took place and why his child is scared? Kody doesn't have a clue! He lets his younger kids get away with everything and if he was in that room when Garrison said,"Let her have him." and what not I honestly think he would've started yelling and threatening his kids. It would not have worked but best of luck and more power to him.
Garrison looked and sounded like THE dad when he told him "That ain't gonna happen, Dad." That tells you all you need to know.
You’re spot on. Discipline’s goal is to help your child change their behavior. Kody only cared about being seen by the camera in both cases. I remember watching these when they came out and it was obvious Kody was a big fake for tv. He didn’t give two hoots about guiding his kids.
Garrison laughing while sitting on David's lap in the family wedding picture at Gewn's wedding reception spoke volumes. A feel good pic!
1000% accurate. My mother used to tell us all the time,"You represent me and you need to act like you know that I taught you to be respectful." I miss that woman but listening to Kody all I can think is,"Okay,Clueless Morgan. You've got nothing!"
@@rickredmon6122. The eldest Logan has his arm around David in some photographs. Depends which photos you see, the ones that Mykelti shared, she cropped out Meri and David. I wasn’t surprised, she is the one that keeps Kody informed about all of the families coming and going.
Dont forget when Garrison pops off at Kody in the middle of the culdesac too. One of the best Garrison moments.
Love that scene!
This hits differently now
"Like he just came to use the wifi" omg LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣
The students were great as they knew what Kody was up to and I liked when they interviewed Robyn and they asked why Kody was spending so much time with her .
I will have to find that interview,, thought I saw them all ..
@@bxgirlpoc2545 it is hard to find it it took me a while to find it .
There was no way Janelle would ever let K prevent her child from going to Hawaii and leave him home under his supervision.
No doubt about it!
Guarantee, Kody did not pay for the movie for anyone TLC did. I always got the sense. Kody had no idea how to be a dad. His kids genuinely had no idea what to do. When he came in acting like one.
Same but then you had Janelle claim he was an amazing dad. For what? Playing with babies? She set the bar for herself so low.
@@Indigo565 completely agree. Just my gut I don’t think Jenelle. Had an involved father. when she was growing up. She really had nothing to go off of. She excepted the bare minimum.
Kody didn’t work so it was his wives that paid for the movies.
That's our James; always talkin' some sense into Kody's nonsense! Remaining THE MAN, in reality!! ✌️
Excellent observation about Kody having ZERO experience disciplining the boys, when his threat to the rambunctious boy at the movie theater was so absurd.
It’s been said by a few of the kids that Kody was physical with them. And his body language when angry me thinks he may have been physical with the wives as well. I think he tried to clean it up in front of the cameras.
I can see that. Slow with words, fast with laying hands. I can see his displaced anger, when he realizes the cameras are there.
I’ve noticed Cody’s aggression as well.I think he’s a door slammer,wall hitter etc…We all saw his aggressive behavior with the chair during the last interview he had with Sukie.He’s such a spoiled child when he doesn’t get his way and I believe he’s dangerous.
I would really like to see him try being physical with Garrison, I think Kody would learn a lesson in humility, which has been direly missing in his life.
Thank you for pointing out what many of us have suspected, but weren't able to explain in such an understandable way. 20/20 hindsight surely is highlighting Kody's lack of involvement as a father to the kids. I've called him the "sperm donor" and I stick with that moniker. He may have been the "father figure", but he was never a daddy to his kids. Remember when Kody said that the older kids don't need him as much as the little kids to explain (EXCUSE) his absence? Can't blame Garrison for saying the kids are grown and don't need a father figure.
This is so telling. Rip Garrison Brown. 😢
Kody was an absent parent who became an irrational, and vengeful stranger to these kids. He has shown them who he is as a person, and a parent. It went from bad to worse, and they believed what he showed them. He played the part of a non-father, and that’s what they grew to know, and painfully accept.
If you lay the groundwork when kids are young, they go into their teen years knowing what to expect when they make the wrong decisions. They know you as a parent by that point. They know if you will follow through or not. They know your own integrity and what you expect of them, and how you will help them to learn from what they did.
They know if you are involved, they know if you will know what’s happened and if they can lie and get away with stuff, or if that poop just doesn’t work. Because they grow up knowing your character as a parent, and your investment in their future to help them grow in good character themselves.
So by the time you hit those teen years, you have laid that groundwork. And yes, they will act a fool sometimes, that’s basically their job, to find their feet that way. But if they know you as a parent and they know how you help them learn and grow through those poor choices, they are already going to be engaged in that kind of process.
I see so many parents who let their younger kids get away with soooo much cr@p at a younger age because it’s easier to give in and give them what they want, or it’s easier to not follow through, or it’s easier to just ignore stuff and not address things. And then they turn around at those teen years and wonder why their relationship with their kids are poor and why their kids are so out of “control”.
My in-laws use to have loads of problems with their son and had him tested for all sorts of disorders, none of which he had. My sister in law asked for my opinion / input once, I have a psych degree and was a parent support worker at the time. I told her the only “problem” that their son had was that he was very bright, and he had learned from them that if he just played up hell for long enough that they would eventually give in. And he had been learning that lesson from them since he was a toddler on up. He knew who they were as parents, and as his auntie, he never pulled that cr@p with me, because he had learned that the outcome of acting a fool with me would be a different outcome than doing it when around his parents.
Children know who you are as a parent. They learn it before you know that they are learning anything. Those kids know kody isn’t there for them. They know he isn’t involved. They know he isn’t invested. They know that their moms are. They have been growing to know who kody is for a long time, a lot longer than just the covid issue. Kody is an absent parent in their development, and they have learned that from day one. You simply can’t just never really be there for your kids (and their mothers), and then expect a child/teen/young adult to respect you. Kody has demanded blind obedience and respect, when he’s never put in any of the work to develop those kind of relationships with those people.
Sorry, I know I’ve rattled on, but it’s just something that annoys the hell out of me about kody. It was his job to be there for those kids, one which he failed miserably.
Wise words!❤
Precisely! I say it all the time. Kody wants the big moments. He wants the weddings,the babies,and what not but he gave up on everything with the kids who aren't Robyn's because these kids challenge him and he doesn't like that. If a kid challenges Kody he's done with them. Garrison,Gabe,Hunter,Logan and Paedon challenge him and basically Ysabel has given up on his dad. That sucks but she knows she's got an Impossible Burger Dad so why bother?
We all know things were better before sobynrober. I do wonder how those kids would have been, IF they did not leave their first house, where he was close by every day. Or when they moved to Nevada, they bought a big house/duplex and fixed it where they were all together again. Living in the cul-de-sac was good, cause again they were real close. They og should never agreed to moved to flagstaff at all, that hurt everyone all for a man with lust for a nasty woman
sad sad.
When Kody had to say who had the authority he was done
Kody = "Mr. Steve from next door." 🏠 🏠😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's so crazy that this just came up on my page today. It's so heartbreaking to see this after Garrison's passing. You're analysis is dead on as always and almost haunting at this point.
Now we know why Janelle wanted to stay in Flagstaff and not move by Christine,
I didn't consider that until you posted it. Excellent point. Janelle received a lot of criticism for not moving away as soon as she left Kody. While defending herself, she mentioned that she wanted to stay for her kids.
IMHO you are the best at giving us exactly happened, by who, & the situation. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that
💯
Lmao " I don't remember asking you a god damn thing!" That's great! 😂 sent me right back to childhood.
I guess He is still figuring it Out !! RIP Garrison ! He had no guidance NO role model !
From what I've seen over the years on the show was Kody acted like bored boyfriend in every house except Robyn's. There were hardly any footage of Kody and Robyn's kids unless it had something to do with Robyn's ex.
"Bored ex" excellent descriptio. He treated them like they were burdens he carried. He'll soon discover they were the glue holding his family together.
...Codys just sitting on the chair like hes Mr. Steve from next door...the way i just hollered!!! 😂😂😂 8:12. Just came over to use the wifi!!!💀
After Robyn came into the family then his words changed it became Meri's kid , Jenelle's kids and Christine's kids but Robyn's kids were our kids . When I was a kid and we got into fights in the car my dad said I guess you're not tired yet . I'll put y'all out of this car and if you're still here on the way home I might actually give you a ride . But in the meantime if you don't mind you'll understand what mad looks like.
.Garrison would call Kody's bluff. It's like he identified from an early age that he really wasn't the Dad. Logan was the one that took care of them. That's their father figure. Also, it gets exhausting having to play the constantly appreciative child. No one told y'all to have all these kids so every dollar is spread so thin to the point where a movie every couple years is something to jump for joy about when both your parents work. I will never cosign these mega families...you can't tell me there is enough parent to give each kid the attention they need to prevent them from acting out to at least be noticed and recognized....even if it's for poor behavior.
Oh, your point about disciplining in seperate families is soooo valid James!!! My ex used to punish my first four kids with ridiculously long electronic bans (like 4 or 6 months) It was just impossible for me, as the main custodial parent, to keep up!!! The only lesson the kids learned was divide and conquer.
This coming up in my feed now after... 💔
RIP Garrison.
Shopping at the grocery store (me 9), I mouthed off to my mother, and a stranger in the store held me so my mom could whoop my ass!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rest In Power and Peace, sweet Garrison.
R.I.P. Garrison 💕
I came back to watch this because it is so profound in retrospect, we now know how bad he was hurting from this, I hope something good comes from this tragedy, regardless of how much I dislike Kody, I hope he is able to grow up and apologize to his children for his behavior, we see now Garrison was still in need of his dad and again I do hope for the remaining kids they can at least resolve this in a way with him that helps them to be alright with it. I know I'm asking for a lot but I can hope.
Man up and take accountability and responsibility. 😳
That's rich coming from Kotex. The king of irresponsibility and accountability. 🙄
Kotex 😂😂😂
I think it would be a good experience to have you as a father. It seems Kody likes parenting the little kids who still adore him and want to play. As soon as they begin to have their own ideas and challenge him, it seems he pulls away. Then they become their mother’s children. That is when they need him present more than ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if he married some new child baring women and starts over again. Having the adoration of the young kids is good for his ego. I feel that is part of the reason he wants to be with the younger kids at Robin’s house.
Anybody can be a father.It takes a real man to be a Dad.Redt in peace sweet child of all us !!!! You will never be forgotten always loved and remembered ❤️❤️
It is sad becasue really Garrison was probably trying to convince himself. He did need his Dad... not "a father".
Wow! Did you hear Kody tell the boys to "man up"?!😮
💯 agree, I won't be my kid's friend, I'm not their buddy, I'm their mother, I'm there to guide, teach and direct. It's always been very clear that Kody has never been a father, that's why the only child he has a real relationship with (outside of Robyn's kids) is Mykelti. Mykelti wasn't the oldest or the youngest, she didn't have to be the "fill-in mom" that Aspyn was, this made Aspyn understand Christine more and she didn't see Kody spending all his time with Robyn like the younger kids did, it put Mykelti in the best position to side with Kody. She blamed Christine for not being there because she was working and going to school, instead of putting that blame on Kody for never holding down a job, not being a dad and continuing to bring in children and a new wife and her kids, for the other wives to support. Mykelti put her resentment on Christine, she didn't understand her mom's position so she sided with her dad to get his favor. I also think Robyn started the wedge between Kody, Meri and the older kids by pointing out Meri's "abuse" on the kids and making it seem so horrible, to turn the kids and Kody against Meri because Robyn wanted the legal marriage. As Paedon says Robyn "saved" them from Meri. Robyn preyed on the kids that Meri had the worst relationship with and made them think that Meri was a monster and that Christine didn't protect them. Meri was probably hard on Aspyn, Mykelti and Paedon but Robyn made it seem so much worse than it actually was. Just like she did with her ex-husband and her own kids, Robyn brainwashed Christine's kids and Kody into thinking Meri was "abusive" and telling them all these horror stories about Meri, the kids and Kody now see Meri as a villain and Robyn as the "martyr" and "savior" that she always makes herself be.
Garrison was so against moving to Flagstaff but he was forced to do so!
"Oh You the mama." "I ain't trying to witness no crime." 💀
You nailed it again James think Kody just played father for the camera those kids didn’t really know him he only decided to be a father when Robyn came along
Christine's Ex demands his kid takes accountability and responsibility. I doubt he knows what those words mean and how that actually happens.
I think to Kody accountability & responsibility simply translate to "you are responsible to make sure my needs are met." It's a sad existence.
So glad I found your channel! I absolutely LOVE getting a man’s point of view. Very well done Sir. You got a new follower today!
Awesome, thank you!
Those kids learned those tempers imo. I forget which kid it was that said kodys temper is bad.
I think it was Gwen, saying he threw her up in the air to punish her.
Also peadon has said it
What sucked about the second scenario was Garrison was innocent. Or at least not as guilty as believed initially.
I watch Garrison over the years, and he had a lot of anger towards his dad the a long time. I also feel like Garrison was a middle child in a massive family, and he was always trying to find his place and his gift too. As a middle child I can relate.
If i remember correctly They were on vacation in ine episode and Robyns brat Soloman threw a medal car at garrison and he tried to correct Sol because Kody or Sobbin did nothing , kody jumped down G throat , garrison stood up to them !!! I was like garrison was a better parent at 12 than kody !!
Cody looks mean and cranky now. Maybe even evil. He use to be goofy.
I agree. I don’t know if you saw the trailer. That devil comment creeped me out to no end.
Yes, I used to actually LIKE his sweet, bumbling. Now, his mean face freaks me out. Without the sweetness, the bumbling sure ain't cute.
@@ChristianOne there was never any sweetness. It was just that green, iridescent, hell slime sheen you mistook for sweetness. Get it now?
The goofy Kody was him playing to the cameras
Idk, my Dad is still the biggest tallest strongest smartest bravest man in the world - and he’s been gone almost ten years.
I’m sorry , my Wonderful Daddy passed .. I have hole in my heart .. I miss him so much. ❤
You should be hired to host the tell all
I completely agree with you. Discipline is key to help a child grow. I was blessed to have many father figures in my life, as well as my own dad. My parents believed in tough love. If I were arrested, they would have said "Good, keep her there." My dad died when I was 17 years old, and was at a difficult stage in my life. Many of my friend's fathers stepped up, and were father figures for me.
Kootie said that he didn't want the last thing his kids saw was him disciplining them. Well, discipline doesn't mean always yelling at them. It means listening to them, helping them to understand that they did something wrong. It also means loving them enough to spend time with them. My parents may have yelled at me, sometimes. But, they also supported me and I trusted them enough to tell them when I did something that I shouldn't have done. I knew that I would have gotten it a lot worse if they found out from someone else.
Been looking for you for days welcome back I wanted to hear your opinion
Ditto
my favorite humorous parental 'threat' was always...'I will knock you into next week!' haha.
I just realized found this show I enjoy family very much Janelle is my favorite I would love to meet her and Christine seems so lighthearted and like a great mom
A thought just come to my mind. The FFLDS . A lot of times the older sons will be cast out if one of them starts to eye one of the girls that are getting to an age of being married. Especially if one of the elders wants that girl as a wife. The younger guys become competition . I realize that they don’t follow that culture so much but , the way Kody feels about the older boys could maybe have trickled down some. He has no use for them and wants them gone.
🎯. In Kooty's case, he likes being the only adult male and a king.
21:10 I’m 💀. Black and Latina mamas always scared me, but my white mama was equally scary, too. We called it the wrath of Vera. That is her name and was her mamas name, too. Let’s just say it runs in the family. 😬😳😬😳
My all time favorite saying of his is talking to the wives and refers to the children as ,. ."your children/kids". And who what when where why do you come into the mix?
Right, like he had nothing to do with it.
James, Poppa Patriarch!
Hope Garrison and Gabe are on more in the new season
I think Hunter and Gabe got under Kody’s skin a few times.
I believe it’s hard to see his children become better men then himself. He seems jealous of his own kids.
@@colleen1219 both had trouble with the move. Different moves. Keeping sweet. Kody made choices and those choices have consequences. Kody has lost favor. He betrayed a number of the kids. When he is 80 in the hospital for something I expect maybe one woman there and 3 kids, a few more might stop by briefly. Having this many relatives is almost like not having any.
@@kristinesharp6286sadly I agree. I don’t even think he comprehends the vast amount of damage. HE himself has created.
Love the longer ones. Be back later to listen. Good to see you!
And yet, Christine never forgave Meri for telling the kids to act like the brother's and sister's they were, when they were physically fighting (Mainly Paedon hitting Breanna in the eye, and the other's squabbling)...'and' she asked for help from the parents. Meri did not know they were being filmed and Christine said it should have been addressed later. Sorry, but that isn't how it works.
Fair criticism. Violence should always be addressed immediately.
RIP Garrison ❤
You were cracking me up about parents disciplining. And when you were talking about your parents was a hoot. Thanks for the video.
You're crazy. Dollar theater... $24. Everyone brings backpacks with the popcorn they made at home, left over candy from Halloween, bottles filled with Kool Aid.
You must have read my mind. LOL Everybody is wearing coats in the middle of August.
💯💯💯💯
@@mytakeonrealityRight?😂😂😂

As always, words of wisdom, I am all for a democracy but sometimes I wish people had to take a parent course and pass it before having children, I hate to hear a parent say: Well when they are 18 they are on their own., BS, your children are yours for life, if you don't feel that way, please do not have them.
In life you gotta be about that Reva-Evolution. I was a young kid when my mom had cancer in 99, I was the one who took the most care of her. On the heals of her death, my so called dad remarried to a woman who was an abusive addict with two sons, my dad instantly favored them and I got pushed to the back. My stepmother and dad died in 01, and my life is great.
Thank you James for your humor, insight, and caring. I respect you highly and look every day for more content from you. Peace ❤️
In my case Sometimes just a look from a parent can scare the poop out of you. Or even worse a talk can just be as bad.
My mom just gave me the look. If that didn't work, she'd start talking through her teeth. All it took for me was that look. My brother got the talking through her teeth.
@@jennifergorges72 my boy cousins had hot wheels cars with orange tracks. My aunties on both sides of the family grabbed those tracks. And spanked my cousins when they got out of line.. Even now fourty years later the boys remember the spankings. Now that my aunties are gone now. The adult boys, laugh at it now. They say remember when mom did that? Ect. Now my mom did the talking thing.
with Mom there was the look, then your nickname, first name, utoh full name (first last), omg if next, you are in big trouble, she spouted your total full name (first, middle, last) ..Was amazing how fast she could shout that out. My Dad was a quiet man with us most of time, he would just look, snap his fingers once, if he did a double or a triple snap, we just stopped dead in our tracks no movement. Look at him and he would calmly say, I told you or do not do that, did you hear me. And that was that.
It will be interesting to see how he will treat the 2 kids he has with Robin as they get older!
they seem to be totally out of control now, never mind when they are in school long enough to learn things from other kids with real families .. and not having the isolation of covid
I can tell James is really enjoying doing this video because he is cracking himself up!😂😂😂. It was cracking me up too! He always has a lot of great insights into the Brown Family! Keep up the good work!
Janelle was the father figure and Christine was the loving mother of that family. Kody was a narcissistic man child who had zero leadership skills.
Thank you James, always love your commentary 😊
That was opposite, all the other wives paid for Robyn
So sorry for your loss !😊
Great points as always!
💪🏾
Sad how YT keep reminding me olf old viceos of Kody's abuses
Kody has NEVER been a provider to ANY of those kids!!! The wives went to work, and all of their money went to feeding, clothing, and raising all of those kids! Kody only had a job...so he could buy stuff for HIMSELF...like a little red sportscar! Even now, Robyn's kids are benefitting immensely from the other wives money! They wouldn't have that McMansion if it weren't for the money they got from Meri and Janelle! And TLC money pays for their daily bills! And money that Robyn or Kody actually make, goes directly to support Robyn's shopping addiction...NOT the kids!
Poor Garrison. He was such a good kid
You have to be a parent when they are young, you can be a friend when they become adults. The parent is always there when they need a parent after they have grown up.
