SISTER Wives stars Kody and Robyn Brown have been ripped over their parenting of daughter Ariella.
The seven-year-old was seen with a pacifier in her mouth in throwback clips from the season 18.
Sister Wives viewers were shocked to see Robyn’s youngest child Ariella still sucking on a pacifier at her age.
One outraged fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Yeesh, still showing Ari with the pacifier in the flashbacks.”
Another added: “So shameful! Not good parenting.”
This isn’t the first time Kody and his only remaining wife Robyn have been called out for letting Ariella still use a pacifier.
Last year, they were branded “lazy” after seeing the young girl, then almost six, with a pacifier while hanging out with Meri Brown.
One tweeted: “Am I the only one that saw five, almost six-year-old Ariella with a pacifier? I know this is judgmental, but that’s just lazy parenting.”
Another wrote: “There is no excuse for that child to be using a pacifier at her age. Especially since both of her parents are home full-time!”
Others pointed out the potential effects the decision could have on Ariella’s health and ability to speak.
“This greatly impedes speech in both effort and the formation of her mouth, which makes those sounds harder to form,” one raged.
In 2021, Kody and Robyn admitted that Ariella often dictated her bedtimes and could be known to stay up until midnight, and occasionally all night.
During an episode when Ariella went to kindergarten for the first time, Kody confessed that this was the earliest she had even gotten out of bed.
Robyn laughed about how hard it was to try to give Ariella a regular sleep schedule but claimed there wasn’t much she could do until the child was older.
The TLC star has three older children from her first marriage to David Jessop: Dayton, 23, Aurora, 20, and Breanna, 18.
She and Kody share two children – Solomon, 11, and Ariella.
