Understanding the Sister Wives’ Move: A Backstory
Our journey began in 2011 when the Browns, of TLC’s ‘Sister Wives’, moved to Las Vegas. They’re a polygamous family, with Kody Brown at the helm and his four wives – Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. It wasn’t just a move for the sake of change; they were fleeing from Utah due to legal issues surrounding their polygamous lifestyle.
Fast forward seven years later, we find ourselves in 2018 when they decided to pack up again. This time it was Flagstaff, Arizona calling their names. So why did they leave Sin City behind? The answer isn’t as simple as you’d imagine.
Firstly, there was an element of financial struggle that overshadowed their time in Vegas. Despite having built four beautiful homes there (one for each wife), things weren’t exactly rosy on the economic front. We understand that maintaining such a large family is no easy task financially.
Secondly, let’s not forget about the emotional angle here too. Christine Brown admitted she never felt at home in Las Vegas and longed for a more serene environment – something which she believed Flagstaff could offer her family.
Lastly but certainly not least important was their desire for privacy and less public scrutiny- something that’s hard to find in Las Vegas which is known for its bright lights and bustling streets.
Remember this story isn’t unique to just the Browns; many families grapple with decisions about moving based on finances or personal happiness every day. But being under constant media spotlight makes it even more nerve-racking for a family like the Browns.
Reasons Why Sister Wives Left Las Vegas
Leaving Las Vegas wasn’t an easy decision for the ‘Sister Wives’. It’s a city that provides them with diverse opportunities and experiences. However, several factors led to their departure.
Firstly, financial instability played a significant role in their exit. Property costs in Las Vegas were skyrocketing at the time they decided to leave. Despite owning four homes in the city, maintaining such expensive properties became challenging for them.
Secondly, we’ve got family dynamics. The need for a more cohesive family unit was essential. In Las Vegas, each wife had her own home which created distance among them and their children. They yearned for closer ties and unity which they hoped to achieve by living closer together physically.
Lastly; the desire for change shouldn’t be underestimated here. After spending years in bustling Las Vegas, there was a longing for quieter surroundings – something different from what they’d become accustomed to.
- Financial Struggle: High property costs
- Family Dynamics: Desire for more cohesion
- Change of Scenery: Need for quieter surroundings
So it wasn’t just one reason why they left Las Vegas but rather a combination of reasons that pushed them towards this tough decision to uproot their lives.
Remember though: while these are some reasons we’ve gleaned from watching the show and reading interviews, only the Browns can truly express why they made this life-altering move away from Sin City!
The Impact of Leaving Las Vegas on the Brown Family
We’ve all watched as reality TV’s favorite polygamist family, the Browns from Sister Wives, made their big move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona. Their departure wasn’t just a simple relocation; it was an upheaval that shook the dynamics of this unconventional clan and sent ripples across their fan base.
Leaving Las Vegas was a significant decision for Kody Brown and his four wives: Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. They’d spent years building a life in Nevada’s sin city after fleeing Utah due to legal issues surrounding polygamy. Making Sin City home meant adjusting to suburban living after having been isolated in Lehi, Utah. But adapt they did – until once again they were uprooted.
Why did they leave? Well, we’ll get into that shortly but first let us understand what this shift meant for them. Life post-Las Vegas has been far from smooth sailing for the Browns. With new homes to find (and afford), new neighbors to appease (spoiler alert: not all were welcoming), and even relationship rifts within the family itself — it’s been quite a whirlwind.
