"You know, this is what I've always done, this is what I've always been. I've always been fathering and having special experiences with little people 'cause they're just sweet," he said to Robyn before telling cameras: "It's mental exhaustion. You're arguing with a 4-year-old who has the words of a 10-year-old and the logic of an idiot," referring to Ariella.

In her confessional, Robyn explained that she feels connected to her children in a spiritual way before they are even born. Therefore, if she and Kody decide not to have another kid, she'll worry that she's leaving "somebody behind."

"I believe that we exist in a spiritual form before we are born and come to earth. I believe that I have had interactions with some of my children, you know when they were a spirit ... before they were born," Robyn told cameras.
