Janelle Brown’s son, Gabe, gets emotional as Kody, his dad, spoke to him on his birthday but forgets that it’s his special day. Kody called to talk about COVID, not having an idea that it was Gabe’s birthday. On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, the 21-year-old during a confessional reflected on the phone call with his dad which was in October, his birth month.
Gabe stated that his dad called on Oct. 11 saying that he didn’t have a fever when he got COVID. He only lost his sense of smell. Next, Kody asks Gabe how bad his COVID got, forgetting to wish him a happy birthday.
Gabe further said he could have reminded his dad but he chose not to. He wanted to see if his dad would remember, but unfortunately, he didn’t. It was worse than a phone call to Gabe.
Gabe brown crying is devastating. You can feel the heartbreak and sadness in his voice. I can’t imagine Janelle as a mother watching it. How can you love a man who treats his kids like this? #SisterWivesTLC #sisterwives

Kody Brown Tried to Make Amends After Forgetting Janelle’s Son’s Birthday
Janelle’s son revealed that Kody Brown tried calling back after forgetting his birthday during the phone call. But the damage had already been done and it was the last time Gabe spoke to his father.
Janelle is Kody’s second wife from his plural marriage. His other wives include Robyn Brown and his first wife Meri Brown. Kody’s third wife, Christine, announced their separation late last year.
Kody Brown forgetting Janelle’s son’s birthday isn’t the first time he’s disappointing his kids. Christine revealed on Reality Life with Kate Casey that her children were constantly disappointed by their father.
She further disclosed that he didn’t know their kids after missing out on their life for several years. Christine tried to make excuses for him by telling their kids that their dad will visit very soon. After some time, they stopped believing her.
Due to his absence in their lives, she feels that her children don’t have a good connection with their dad. The mother of six is sad that Kody is behaving in this manner as she only wants a great relationship between them. She doesn’t want to raise kids with daddy issues, according to her.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
