Kody Brown landed in hot water with fans during Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, after he referenced “babysitting” his own children. Kody’s relationships with several of his children suffered after he issued strict COVID protocols ahead of his breakup from third wife, Christine Brown.

Kody’s wives,  Janelle, Christine, and Robyn all spoke out about Kody’s behavior both as a husband and as a father, on Sunday’s episode. 

Janelle commented—”I know he ends up at Robyn’s a lot to help with the little kids.”

Christine blasted Kody as a disinterested parent, sharing—“My kids and I hike all the time. We go kayaking all the time. Kody came hiking with us once and he brought Robyn’s kids ‘cause he was babysitting them.”

Kody sparked lots of fan backlash when he echoed Christine and mentioned babysitting his own children.

The TLC dad said—“It’s not normal for me to babysit my kids. I’ve been working all my life. I was raised on a ranch. We were always busy. The idea of going kayaking or hiking and stuff like that is not something I really do a lot of with anybody.”

Kody added—”I’m good at watching my kids but I almost never do it. It’s easier for me to pay $20 bucks an hour than to lose $200 an hour with the business I have at hand.”

Fans immediately reacted on social media, ripping Kody for his remarks.

One fan tweeted—”Did Christine and Kody say babysit his kids?! I’m lost how a dad babysit his kids.” 

Another wrote—“Kody just said “It’s not normal for me to babysit my kids.” And that really just tells you everything you need to know about him and his relationships with his kids.”

One viewer noted—“‘It makes more sense to pay someone to babysit my kids then to have me babysit them.’ Firstly you do not baby sit your kids you watch them secondly your an asshole dont have kids then especially dont have 20+ kody.”

Another chimed in—“So Robin gets a whole nanny? I don’t know how men feel they’re babysitting their own kids. It’s called parenting and wait did Kody just say they pay him $20h to ‘watch’ what his sperm produced,”

Robyn Brown

Robyn explained that she has a nanny on hand to help with the kids due to Kody’s demanding schedule. Kody and Robyn share two children, Solomon, 10, and Ariella, 6, and one minor child from Robyn’s previous marriage, Breanna, 17. Robyn’s other two children, Dayton and Aurora, are young adults. 

Kody and I have a lot going on during the day,” Robyn said. “That’s why I have a nanny — so that I can have her help me instead of trying to ask Kody to help with the kids.”

She added— “It’s not really fair of me to ask him to help when he has so many responsibilities and has such a big family.”

Christine Brown

Christine had three children living under her roof at the time, Truely, 12,  Ysabel, 19, and Gwendlyn, 20. 

“He’s not here any more than he was before, he’s not here any less. It’s the same,” Christine said. “Truely’s not even noticed it.”

Christine noted that her older girls had noticed Kody’s “disengaged” attitude. 

“It’s hard to see just such a contrast with Kody, how he is at Robyn’s house versus how he is at my house. He’s just disengaged at my house,” she said.

Christine added that her older daughters had expressed concern over her “broken” relationship with Kody, and empathized with how she must feel seeing him with the other wives. 

“I literally have Christine telling me that the kids don’t think I want to be around them,” Kody said. ”Um, I’ve stayed home all year. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do any of my business things, I didn’t see friends, I didn’t travel with any of them.”

Sister Wives airs on Sundays at 10 pm, ET, on TLC.
