The most recent episodes of Sister Wives make it apparent that the relationship between Kody and Robyn Brown is struggling. The 14th season of TLC's hit show makes it clear that the Brown family is not thriving in Flagstaff, Arizona. Part of the reason why? They keep having to move.
On the latest episode of the show, Robyn and Kody have a heated argument about buying versus renting a house. Robyn begins hinting that Kody Brown might be using their five children as pawns in that fight.
When Kody gets creative and starts his stream of consciousness speaking out loud, it can get a little stressful. I feel like that was what he was doing when he told the girls they had to change schools. Stressful!

On the episode of Sister Wives titled Robyn vs. Kody, the two are still arguing. In the episode, Kody claims that the family needs to buy a home within the next few days. Robyn says that doing so would mean that the family would not have the funds necessary to begin construction on their Coyote Pass land. She wants to rent, but rentals are not appearing.
The episode featured Robyn and Kody looking for houses in Flagstaff, but Robyn is upset that the discussions and arguments she has with Kody seem to influence their children.
Even though Kody was frustrated that Christine wasn’t interested in the one house, I am grateful we have the belief that everyone has a voice and no one is forced to do something that doesn’t work for them. This is a family of choice!

In one scene, Kody told Robyn while addressing their preschool-aged daughter Ariella, "We have to leave our home. I need a new house for my sweetie. Can you help me look at this one?"
This was not pleasing to Robyn. In fact, it seemingly made her mad that he would use their children "as pawns."
Tensions were so high because Robyn continued to insist that God would provide the family with a rental to move into. Meanwhile, Kody believed God was telling them that they should buy a home.
Kody thought he can use the kids and the real estate agent to help influence me. He didn’t understand how much I was standing my ground FOR the kids!

While the two argue, Kody asks Robyn why it's so bad that he thinks God has a different plan for their family. Again, Robyn is upset that Kody is involving the children. She says, "We'll talk about that later, not in front of the kids."
Kody Brown claimed that Robyn's loyalty to her sister wives could be damaging to their children. He said on the show, "Her loyalty to the whole family, big picture, is keeping her from doing something she needs for her and her kids right now."
Later on, Robyn accused Kody of trying to freak out her daughters by telling them that they would have to go to different schools.

On Twitter, followers were divided on the issue. One person said, "He just wants what he [wants], regardless of anyone [else's] needs."
Others sided with Kody. One follower said, "She is making it painfully difficult. . ." Another put it plainly, "I have to side with [Kody] on this. He has a responsibility to find a home for his kids in 28 days. What do you do when day 28 rolls around and you have to say, 'We're homeless because Mom was holding out for a rental that obviously isn't there'."
I have to side with Cody on this. He has a responsibility to find a home for his kids in 28 days. What do you do when day 28 rolls around and you have to say “we’re homeless because Mom was holding out for a rental that obviously isn’t there”
