It’s uncommon for people to be in a polygamous family, but for Meri Brown, it was the norm. The TV personality revealed in the Brown memoir, “Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage,” she grew up with her father venturing into polygamy when she was six or seven years old.
In the book, Meri talked about growing up in the LDS, or Mormon, faith. Eventually, the “Sister Wives” star saw her parents move to a marriage involving more than one person. After the family moved from California to Utah, her father decided to marry his second wife. From that point on the family grew, and Meri ended up having five mothers and 25 siblings, per Las Vegas Sun. While it may be untraditional, the TV star only has fond memories of her entire family. According to People, the “Sister Wives” star also recalled what it was like growing up in a polygamous family on the reality show. She said, “I had a lot of years with other moms and other siblings that weren’t just from my mom. So it wasn’t out of the ordinary for me.”

For Meri, polygamy has always been normal, which is why she may have been so open to the idea when she married Kody. Meri told the Las Vegas Sun that although she has “sister wives” of her own, her parents never “pushed” her into this lifestyle.
