"Just gross" — Sister Wives fans criticize Mykelti for letting Robyn bond with her kids before Christine 

Season 19 of Sister Wives released its latest episode on TLC on Sunday, September 29, 2024. The segment featured Mykelti giving birth to her twins, Archer Padron and Ace Padron. Besides her husband, Tony, she wanted her mothers, Christine and Robyn to be present during and after the delivery.

Mykelti admitted it was a special moment to have them by her side. After returning home, she asked Robyn to stay for the first two to three nights to have her "bonding" with the twins. Only after Robyn left would Christine be able to have her alone time with the children.

Reviewing Mykelti's decision, Christine mentioned that her daughter shared a solid bond with Robyn. She took it upon herself to reunite the family in whatever way possible. Meanwhile, Robyn said she would do most of the caretaking and later hand the "baton" to Christine.

Sister Wives fans were surprised by Mykelti's decision to choose Robyn's presence over her own mother's. They took to X to express their disapproval.

"I don't care what anyone says, Mykelti having Robyn there at all is just gross. The fact that she invites Robyn, and Robyn even comes, is beyond. She ruined both of those births by being there. Robyn has zero respect for Christine," a fan wrote.

"Why is robyn the first to spend time with the babies when they aren’t her grandkids and the actual grandmothers go second and third?! That’s awful on mykelti’s part," another fan commented.

Many Sister Wives fans disapproved of Mykelti's decision to prioritize Robyn over her birth mother, Christine.

"I feel that it’s too bad that Mykelti doesn’t have her primary loyalty to her birth mom, Christine. At some level, that has to be hurtful to Christine. She is a really good mom to rise above it and put her children first," a netizen tweeted.

"Why would Mykelti have Robyn there for the twins birth She perpetually hates on her Mom Christine Robyn could have came the next week to see the twins," a user reacted.

"Mykelti is a whole f**king weirdo for having Robyn spend the first few nights with the twins before Christine did! Sorry not sorry," a person commented.

"Robyn gets to spend time with the babies on their first nights home but not Christine?! Wow ok Mykelti," another fan wrote.

At the same time, some Sister Wives fans suspected Robyn's relationship with Mykelti.

"Robyn figured out that Mykelti was the black sheep and that's why she went after Mykelti. That's where she was able to start alienating people in the family and pulling them into her plan of another monogamous marriage," a user tweeted.

"Mykelti you had a good relationship with Robyn because she saw you as the easy one to manipulate out of all the siblings. You were used as the babysitter so your dad and her could go on dates. She saw that you felt unseen by the others and took advantage of that," one netizen commented.
