Meri Brown has been reinventing herself since the previous season of Sister Wives, but it doesn’t change her treatment of Paedon Brown. As the first wife of Kody Brown, Meri only had one child, Leon Brown. However, she was involved in the lives of Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown’s children. The Brown family functioned as one unit, with the Sister Wives taking on different roles. Where Janelle worked outside the home, Meri and Christine took on household tasks, including rearing children. While Meri could be a great mom, she fell short with Paedon and some other siblings.
