In some respect that's normal, but I think it's more extreme in Kody's case. They know that they will get very little in return for their investment. Yes. Just because you kept your kids fed, clothed and housed during their minority (and didn’t abuse them etc) doesn’t mean they will have emotional room for you in their lives as adults. Most people who are emotionally close to their parents and other caregivers as adults it’s because the adult put EMOTIONAL work into the person first. (Along with luck of the draw with having compatible personalities etc) Kody is still having trouble adjusting to the notion that you don’t get to be “adored” by other adults just because they share DNA with you- having a working reproductive system doesn’t guarantee you’ll be loved. I don’t think Kody cares much if his adult children love him, I think he cares if they defer to him (when he sees fit to pay attention). 3 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7785385

I know why Kody had so many kids but honestly, I don't understand how anyone has so many kids that they don't anticipate being able to have good, strong relationships with them. If he just needs to create as many offspring as possible without any obligation to actually father them, why not just donate to a sperm bank?

GeeGolly December 10, 2022 Share December 10, 2022 Gabe cried because he loves Kody. Christine stayed for so long because she loved Kody. Janelle loves Kody and Meri and Robyn love Kody. I'm guessing most of his kids love him. We have no connection to Kody. We don't share his genes, he's not our dad and we have never been married to him. We have no reason to like him and thanks to Kody and the TLC producers, we have every reason to hate him. Families are complicated. Gabe and Garrison are hurt and pissed. Logan seems to have had Kody's number for a long time and I'm guessing he only tolerates Kody. Truely doesn't know her dad, and doesn't seem to care too much - maybe because it was the norm for a polyg dad not to be around all the time. Maddie appears to love Kody as does Mykelti, etc. I'm thinking the some of the kids who aren't close to Kody have different reasons for not being close to him. That applies to the kids who are close to him. I'm also going to guess their feelings are fluid. Out of the eleventy million Brown kids maybe one or two will completely write him off, maybe one or two will stand by him unconditionally and the rest will fall in the middle. TL;DR Kody sucked and sucks as a dad, but he's their dad and families are complicated. 6 2 8 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7785642

This and I think the producers wanted some real ratings kickers. Sometimes I feel like Kody walks off camera after his first rant with Christine, because he was afraid of laughing on camera, which they could have edited out. It looks like it has been rehearsed. Agree, I believe he wants the public to think they are leaving him, when in fact he has left all of his three original wives years ago.

Gabe seemed more typical college age. Actual concern but... young and invincible lens. As I'm currently dealing with my own boys at the moment - close to their ages - I really don't appreciate disrespectful and cocky attitudes. It's very difficult to know when and where to draw boundaries and the frustration with adult children is real. But Kody fumbled on every single level. It seems like he didn't even try to communicate.

I so agree none of his relationships with his kids are ideal, but every relationship in that family is complicated just by its size, but add to that all the 'extra' parents and it becomes even more complicated. I see the dynamics very similar to that of some divorced families (even prior to any separations). These kids have one mom, 3 step-moms and one dad. A lot of times kids are used as pawns by the parents and more to this point, parents are used as targets by the kids. Every relationship is influenced by so many feelings and so many family members they can change in a hot minute. There is no way, no how, those kids didn't hear of, or get pulled into, the which parent is mad at which parent bullshit, which certainly brings up feelings of loyalty, jealousy and confusion. And many groups of kids were raised in very different atmospheres. The first group likely has fixed memories of Lehi, the next group sees the time in Vegas as their childhoods and then there's Truly, Sol and Ari who really only know life as it is now. To me that makes this family extra complicated and the kids' relationships with their dad complicated as well.

What a complete piece of crap he is, minimizing Janelle's experience with Covid and trying to say he "had the worst" something or other, something that makes his covid experience so much more serious and deadly and dire than hers was ... him with his 99.8 degree blazing hot fever ... oh, and his aching ass. We can't leave out his terrible ass pain. His DEATH LIKE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!! you don't knooowwwww what I've been throooouuugh! What an asshole. And during the Robyn Death Watch episode, did anyone catch him claiming Robyn had been "passing out?" He said that. Just real casual-like. She had been passing out. That is a seriously dangerous thing, to be so sick with Covid you are losing consciousness, for goodness' sakes. It was such a lie. First of all, why wouldn't you call an ambulance immediately? Someone has so little oxygen in their blood that they faint .... what the hell are you waiting for? Of course Kody is a cheap bastard, so there is that. My only question is was Kody knowingly lying about Robyn fainting or had Robyn been faking passing out at home? Because she was not really passing out. No way. I will never believe it. If she was that sick she would not have just been treated in the ER and sent home. They didn't even give her oxygen, for crying out loud. And Robyn herself never mentioned it in her breathy little video.

LilyD December 27, 2022 Share December 27, 2022 I think we’re forgetting something very simple when it comes to Kody:He is the product of (part of) his upbringing and his own delusional lifestyle. Any man that calls the shots on 4 wives with an ever growing brood of kids and is famous (albeit D-list), will develop some god-like traits. Especially if the 4 wives shape their lives around his needs and wishes, no matter how stupid or delusional these are. And he could simply drag all those kids along. In his mind, he was this God-like creature with not 1 wife with 2 kids, but no less than 4 that kept pushing out babies to keep him happy. I can see where this inflated ego comes from.

And it coincidentally increased with his Kingdom falling apart (kids moving away, kids and wives questioning his motives and ideas, wives deserting him) He’s losing control and his God-like status and he cannot control it anymore. 10 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7805629

I was so happy that Janelle interrupted him mid-rant. She knew what he was going to say and she cut him off at the pass.

Midwestern Lady December 27, 2022 Share December 27, 2022 I watched a few episodes from the first two seasons. Kody's ego was still larger than most but not like the giant ego it appears to be now. He is definitely a Star in his own mind. He showed affection to the three OG's and even touched their knees, shoulders etc. Saw all of them genuinely smiling and "without walls". The exception, of course, was DogKicker Sobbyn who had the start of her permanent frown face when the conversation was not all about her. Fascinating to look back. 13 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7805670

Any man that calls the shots on 4 wives with an ever growing brood of kids and is famous (albeit D-list), will develop some god-like traits. Especially if the 4 wives shape their lives around his needs and wishes, no matter how stupid or delusional these are. And he could simply drag all those kids along. In his mind, he was this God-like creature with not 1 wife with 2 kids, but no less than 4 that kept pushing out babies to keep him happy. I can see where this inflated ego comes from. He was King of his Kingdom. His erratic behaviour has dramatically increased over the past few years. And it coincidentally increased with his Kingdom falling apart (kids moving away, kids and wives questioning his motives and ideas, wives deserting him) He’s losing control and his God-like status and he cannot control it anymore. I think you make a great point. We are, to a degree, products of our environments. We see it all the time with folks in positions of power, celebrities and athletes, etc. If they don't have a few friends and family to knock them down a few pegs to help keep them humble they start to believe the hype. Right now, I think Christine is on the verge of crossing that line. However I think she is struggling enough behind the scenes to keep her from getting too full of herself. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7805755
Elizzikra December 28, 2022 Share December 28, 2022 Quote and is famous (albeit D-list) I've been wondering about this (slow news week). What sort of d-list celebrity treatment do we think Kody gets? Do people approach him when he's out in public and ask to take selfies? Does he get fan mail? I don't really see him having to run from the paps are getting taken seriously asking for a table at Nobu. Does his minor celebrity status bring him anything at all? 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7806022

From my experience it doesn't take much success, power and adulation to nudge someone onto their high horse. I've seen friends and colleagues change after promotions, I've met more than one local news anchor who think they're all that and I know of one family who came into money and one of their kids turned into an insufferable snob. Like @LilyD mentioned having four women fight for your attention and a dozen plus kids to prove your superior fertility is enough for some men. Add to that appearing on TV and having your name and image all over the internet, it can tip someone like Kody very easily. Its not so much about actual perks, it more about self-perception. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7806151

Guaranteed there are women begging him to marry them.

Divalaz December 31, 2022 Share December 31, 2022 Okay. I am very saddened by what has happened to the Brown family. I loved their show from the very beginning. And I was tracking with Kody and some of his feelings...but that ended when he said he didn't care about love, that respect was most important to him. First of all buddy you don't just GET respect because you're a man and a husband. You EARN it! If you want respect you GIVE it. Questioning a person's beliefs is not tantamount to disrespect. It's called individuality. You knew what you were getting into with 4 very strong and independent women, that have their own minds. Yes. Love requires respect. But it's not the most important component in my eyes... ACCEPTANCE is. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7809363
Popular Post Libby January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share January 1, 2023 Kody is so embarrassing. Maybe when he was young, these women could be proud that they had a handsome husband. Now, the only pride that they could have is that they left him. He's ugly, he jumps up and down and screams like a crazy man, he treats women and kids like crap, he brags, he lies, he's stuck on himself, and he's stupid. The man doesn't have one redeeming characteristic. If I was Robyn, I'd be embarrassed to introduce him to people as my husband. Yay for her, she got the prize. 🤣 14 3 8 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7809726
Ms.Lulu January 1, 2023 Share January 1, 2023 I'm watching S6 E2: Four Lives of Kody's Wives. Kody is lying on Christine's bed wiggling his feet. They look to be tiny, wide feet. I actually thought that they were Janelle's feet. I wonder if Kody's tiny feet have something to do with his insecurities... 2 1 17 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7809875

" Yes it's amazing how different they all were in the first seasons. I could actually see a cohesive sort of family. A lot more laughter and fun. Maybe it's because there was a lot of little kids around and they were focusing more on them? Idk, but my how things change. Kinda like empty nest when the kids leave....that's when my marriage failed, once the kids were gone the dynamic changes. Kodouche is a shell of his old self. Plus his straight hair back then looked much better too ....or maybe it's because he wasn't balding yet 😊 Edited January 2, 2023 by suev3333 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/34/#findComment-7811362

Watching New Year's Rockin' Eve, there was a singer and another woman on there that had their hair slicked back except for 2 big chunks in the top/front. They hung down like deflated horns, just like Cody's hair.

He had a hair transplant at some point that he didn't take care of or was done badly. I noticed on the recent tell all during clips from the past, he had a huge forehead.
