Aurora and Breanna Brown, now adults, have expressed that they felt distanced from the other children, believing they were never fully accepted into the family.
Dayton Brown, who hasn’t appeared on the show for years, has kept a low profile, leaving fans to speculate about his current feelings regarding the family dynamics.
Many Sister Wives fans believe there are clear reasons behind why Robyn’s children never fully integrated with the rest of the Brown kids.
Distinct Personalities: Robyn’s Children Stand Apart
Although Robyn’s children spent a significant part of their childhood within the Brown family household, their upbringing and personalities remained distinctly different. As they grew older, it became increasingly apparent that they were set apart in several key ways.
A Sister Wives viewer shared their observations on Reddit, saying, “The kids said it best. I’m on a rewatch, and the kids were discussing how they’ve tried to blend and adapt to Robyn and her kids, but they haven’t done the same.

What effort was done on Robyn and her tenders’ part to blend into the family? What traditions and values did they bend to fit into the existing Brown family?”
Was The Integration Doomed From the Start?
Many Reddit users agreed that the 13 original Brown children made efforts to welcome Robyn’s kids into the fold. Breanna and Aurora were especially close to Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and several of the younger girls early on.
However, fans noted that the cultural differences between the families were significant, and the integration process faced inevitable challenges.
The original 13 children were boisterous, enjoyed roughhousing, and often teased each other in a playful manner. Robyn’s children, on the other hand, had a more sheltered upbringing, which made it difficult for them to engage with the more extroverted dynamics of the larger family.

One Redditor recalled a moment where one of the boys commented, “Robyn’s kids cry a lot,” which many saw as a reflection of the underlying tension.
The Challenges Of Blending Families On One’s Own Terms
A number of viewers speculated that Robyn’s attempt to merge her children into the family was always meant to happen on her terms, rather than embracing the established family culture.
As one commenter pointed out, Robyn wanted her children to be accepted into the family, but she wasn’t as willing to adapt her family’s behavior to fit the existing dynamics.
Another Redditor elaborated, saying, “Robyn came in expecting to change everyone to her preferences, not assimilate to theirs. When Kody said she sat the kids down and told them to integrate and respect everyone, they did, but she didn’t like the outcome.”
In the end, it appeared that Robyn was more interested in blending her children into the family while keeping some boundaries. There was little effort made to welcome the original 13 into her household, aside from occasional instances where they were called upon for babysitting.
