Sister Wives fans are up in arms over the fact that Kody and Robyn Brown’s daughter still uses a pacifier. Ariella is their youngest and she is now seven years old. At the time of filming the episodes that are currently airing, she was almost six. This has caused a huge stir weekly and it was further exacerbated during the Sunday, September 10 episode. Read on for more details.
Fans Livid Kody & Robyn Brown’s Daughter, 7, Still Uses Pacifier
Kody and Robyn Brown caused a lot of fan anger during the latest episode of Sister Wives. However, the most controversial moment was seeing their youngest child, Ariella, with a pacifier. This has long been an issue for fans who have questioned why she always has one in her mouth. At this point, Ari has already started kindergarten, she is in school like her siblings, so it seems like it might be time to ditch this accessory. According to Healthline: “Stopping pacifier use before 2 to 4 years is usually suggested.” Additionally, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry believes in weaning by age 3.
So, Ariella is clearly behind on this and fans have a legitimate right to be upset. They took to Twitter to express their frustration, essentially a reflection of Kody and Robyn Brown’s parenting.
Again, she was about to turn six when these episodes were filmed but, per the stats listed above, still beyond the appropriate time for a pacifier. Yet, Twitter was not the only forum to discuss the pacifier situation. In a Sister Wives fan group, it was a heavily debated topic. One person felt that Robyn Brown was simply too lazy to take the pacifier away from Ariella. Others wondered if the tot possibly has sensory issues but then felt there were other ways to work with her.
It Won’t Stop
The chatter and criticism of the pacifier probably won’t stop anytime soon, especially the more airtime that the kids get. Plus, Kody Brown has made it clear that he and most of his other children are not in a good place right now. Therefore, fans will continue to feel frustrated by him and Robyn Brown, and the way that they place their five kids above all the others. At Christmas, all five children received motorbikes to ride on Coyote Pass. However, when Ysabel and Truely came by, it did not seem they got the same treatment which also became a hot topic.
Do you think Kody and Robyn are doing a severe disservice to Ariella by enabling her pacifier use?
