Kody Brown doesn’t want any feedback on his parenting!
As you know, the Sister Wives patriarch doesn’t have the best relationship with his kids… We mean, look what happened very recently with his kid Leon. Yikes! But his ex wife Christine‘s new hubby has a message for him. Whether he’s going to listen to it or not, though, well…
During Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, Kody is continuing on his journey of apologizing and trying to make things right with his family. He decided to apologize to Christine and try and mend things with her, but that’s when her husband David Woolley stepped in and offered a bit of advice:
“Can I give you a little bit of advice? Just a little bit. Start with your kids. Your kids still need to heal and that’s the part that you need [to work on].”
Damn! This advice isn’t coming from nowhere, though. David admitted he’s “butted heads” with his “own kids” — of which he has eight. In a not surprising turn of events, though, Kody got PISSED over this.
He told cameras in a confessional:
“My whole purpose here is to apologize to Christine. Not to David, not to anybody else. I’ve set a boundary with my kids and I’m setting that boundary with David and Christine. I don’t care what you think. I’m here to apologize and I don’t even want to be reminded of that because it will bring me back to an angry place.”
Ouch. David really struck a nerve with the father of 18!

In a snappy response to David’s advice, Kody said, while staring right at him:
“Those deteriorations happened as a party, not as an individual. Do you understand that?”
To which he told cameras in his own confessional later:
“When he cut me off on it, I’m like, ‘OK, I had to say what I said just to make sure, because I am around his kids and I do see them hurt and I’m hoping that he’ll reach out to every one of them.’ And it’s not just on his terms. It’s on their terms, too.”
In another confessional, Kody copped-out and claimed David “really just doesn’t know what’s going on. He thinks he does. He thinks he understands polygamy, but he only has a small perspective on it”:
“Any of his experience with his children and any of his advice for me is something that I’m just not interested in at this point, because it’s like he’s kind of just on the opposite side of this.”
But David disagrees! He says he’s had his own experiences with this kind of family setup:
“I’ve been around it since basically the day I was born. And so for him to sit there and say I don’t know, he doesn’t know me.”
Nearing the end of their conversation, Kody assured Christine and her husband that he is going to try and mend things with his children:
“My bad experience with my children and their pain comes from an experience that we were in together, not that they or I did something wrong and offensive. I’m willing to have the conversation. I’m willing to hold space. ‘Dad, you did this, you did this, you did this.’ I’m willing to hold that space. You guys can advise my kids to communicate with me, but I shouldn’t have you guys involved in my relationship with my children.”
Not that he did something wrong or offensive? Right…
Regardless, Christine put a stop to the conversation — she was clearly done hearing it! She said there’s “no gaping hole left in my heart” for Kody:
“I already did the closure. By the time I committed to David, I was done with Kody.”
Meanwhile, Kody seems to think a little differently:
“I didn’t want to be rude with David, but I don’t know how long until I’m out of here. I don’t know how long they’re going to stay. I want Christine, I want to set her free.”
Sounds like she’s already free, according to her! But she did admit she wants to be on better terms with her ex — for her kids’ sake. The trio agreed to meet up again the next day for some fun in Las Vegas:
“I want to be able to go home from this and my kids to say, ‘How was it with dad?’ I’ll go, ‘It was awesome’. They need to know that it’s completely fine to hang out with him. I’m hoping that today’s going to be a lot more fun than last night because this is what they need. They need to go have fun with their dad and not just sit and have a meal and have a conversation.”
