On Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 7, the Brown family prepared for a trip to Hawaii. With that many people, you can imagine the challenges.
Meanwhile, Meri Brown sought to make amends.
Ariella Mae, the latest addition to the Brown Family, was a mere two and a half months at the time of the Browns’ big Hawaii adventure.
Is she a bit too young to be traveling? Perhaps, but that’s just how the Browns roll – particularly when the network is footing the airfare.
Later, Kody was called out regarding the distinctive relationships he has with his sons and daughters, which his wives have mentioned.
Does he treat his daughters very differently than he treats his sons, and is it to the detriment of either? Kody had to answer that one.
While he is far from perfect – and his living situation is one that none of us can relate to – Kody really does seem like he tries to adapt.
Once he heard criticism about not taking his relationships with his girls to the peak level, he really thought about it and wanted to do better.
As for his relationships with his wives, and treating all of them equally (not only banging Robyn), that’s perhaps even more challenging.
Especially with Kody in search of a fifth wife, it’s a complicated situation that promises to become more and more so as time passes.
Meanwhile, Meri and Janelle clashed in therapy, with the former not exactly what you’d call optimistic about two women bonding on vacay.
“I have no idea what we could do in Hawaii,” Meri says. “Maybe we could go to the beach and build a sand castle together. I don’t know.”
For those unaware, Meri’s feud with Janelle predates the whole Sister Wives catfish scandal (though that did not help), and by a lot.
Janelle left her husband to be with Kody and join the family, which would be eyebrow-raising on its own, but the man is Meri’s brother.
As Janelle wrote in Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage: “Meri and I went from cordial to frosty overnight.”
“We snipped at each other over the smallest things.”
Has much changed? Will it ever? Stay tuned.
Later, on Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 8, we got a behind the scenes look at Kody Brown, the man, the myth, the polygamous legend.
