I for one, tend to call them Fundamentalist Mormons, but do use Mormon for short. However, if you think about it, the Mormon church was based on Polygamy, so really for outsiders like me, wouldn't they still be following the principle- and the church changed considerably? If you are of the Mormon faith-I do not mean to offend.

Not Supermom aka Robyn! She puts that child into a family with 3 other mothers, 15 other children, a reality show, a last second move into an even more unstable living situation, what else did I leave out? Poor Dayton. I mean David. I mean Dayton. Anyone know the deal with the name? I thought his name was David, like his biological father's name? <br /><br />It really bothers me she tries to suck up sympathy by jumping on the Autism bandwagon but has trashed all stability for him. AND THEN tries to blame Janelle's boys when he has trouble adjusting(which can happen even in the best circumstances with Autism or with any child without special needs!!! Remember the episode where she whines and says soon he will be old enough to choose which parent he lives with? Slightly misleading-states that have an age of choice means that the judge will consider the child's preference in which parent to live with, not that the child can choose. But Ole Whiney Pants has to try and lay a guilt trip on Hunter and Co. that it would be their fault personally(and Meri does it too) if Dayton wants to live elsewhere. Who wouldn't want to live elsewhere???<br /><br />I'm pro-breastfeeding, nursed my kids. I can respect that some moms prefer modesty. But does anyone else feel like the way Robyn drapes that blanket for privacy while nursing The Savior aka Sol is exaggerated to make sure EVERYONE knows that she is nursing and look at me??? Most moms I've seen who want modesty want just that. They try not to call attention to nursing when they cover up. Not the Holy Mother.<br /><br />I really felt ill when King Kruddy said he wanted a homebase so that Logan would want to go to college locally. Logan needs to get out. King Kruddy needs him for: ratings, babysitting, friendship, etc. I like Logan. Logan sometimes seems to sometimes fill the roll of the traditional male head of household who does house projects, helps figure out moving. Of course Kody has to be concerned with his Sperminator duties(Kudos to whomever first came up with that one!!) and so he cannot do those things.<br /><br />King Kruddy needs to get some Ritalin for his ADHD. His spur of the moment life altering decisions for this family are horrible. No surprise that the adult ADHD Kody would be attracted to Las Vegas. Pretty lights! Lots of people! Squirrel! I used to think Robyn's girls were possibly ADHD but I think it may just be bad parenting. Those girls used to be wild. Remember how one of them was locking Robyn out of her van on her wedding day? LOL!<br /><br />I'm done hearing The Holy Mother telling everyone that she offered to be a surrogate. She knows so little about biology(I'm no expert) that she thinks surrogacy is a sure-fire way to get Meri a baby. Um, that may not fix the problem. Maybe Meri's eggs are the problem, not her uterus' ability to carry a child. But The Mother to the Savior to the Brown Family toots her horn about how she has volunteered to fix this problem, in essence that she is better because no other sister wife did this for her bestie Meri.<br /><br />How come every time we see Robyn's baby, He Who Brings the Brown Family Finally All Together, he is being held? I mean, we know King Kruddy cannot hold Truely because she...I don't know why...but does Sol have to be held every second and rub it in further? I think Robyn or Kody must hold him because she doesn't want anyone else to. That baby is old enough to be left with Maddie when she babysat the first husband's kids for Robyn and Kody's dinner.<br /><br />Well, thanks for listening to my rant!

I doubt Robyn has enough work credits for this(she was a stay home mom with the previous relationship.) The child does not get a check anyway unless the parent is collecting SS or SSD OR if the child is over 18 and cannot work and earn enough on their own due to disability. A minor child would not get a check in this situation. Robyn might have collected something with SSI-that's checks for low/no income and if you are disabled and cannot earn enough and not enough social security work credits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-55268474665525160042012-06-04T21:53:34.164-04:002012-06-04T21:53:34.164-04:00I just wanted to politely clarify something.

Perhaps when Kody brings in a fifth wife. Or he is tired of her and is not so attentive to her?!

So many are going hungry, and right after being on 3 sets of food stamps and 3 bankruptcies, they are wild with the money, and the persecution was a joke. AND, since the law STILL allows them to file in for food stamps, it's not just them, but all poligs that run around the marriage train and they are conveniently married when they want to, then NOT towards the "beast" and collect food stamps, free phones, clear food banks out, and all the rest. They probably say they don't know who the daddy of all those kids are and get money for them, too!

Maybe, just maybe, Janelle knew all along they would not qualify...all that being said, at least Janelle came up with something. Again, I don't agree with her business strategy on the fitness facility but she tried and wrote out a business plan. And Kody is all super pupil-eyed out saying "this could lead to bankruptcy"...yep, Kodes, we all know you are very familiar with bankruptcy. <br /><br />His little comments about "I sold you the couch" and then telling the camera man the fitness thing was his idea to begin with, I think shows a lot about the kind of person he really is. He is giving us all kinds of insight about the True Kody. <br /><br />Better watch your eyes, Kody, they are giving you away. Eyes are the window to the soul!<br /><br />Anyone else think the bloom might be fading with Robyn? The man who fixes nothing actually wanted to find an air compressor rather than let his trophy wife drive his car. I think he gave in only because the cameras were there. And he totally did not like the fact that there was hot pink paint on the windows of the car.

One good thing that came out of Welfare Reform in the 90's is that parents who receive welfare have to cooperate with child support enforcement. Where Kody is named the father on all the kids birth certificates, you can bet he would have to pay child support if any of the wives received welfare. Now admittedly, with 17 kids, the amount paid for each one would be nominal but the mothers would have no choice on whether child support would be established. In fact, the child support received is considered an offset to the welfare benefits and the state would reduce the amount of welfare by the amount of child support.<br /><br />And may I say how much I enjoy this blog. While I don't agree with every post, it is fun to hear others opinions and perceptions. <br /><br />Robin's ex is probably paying child support. Interesting we never hear anything about the father visiting his kids or anything. I did read something the first season that implied Robin's ex was not happy that his kids were appearing on the show but never heard if anything came of it.<br /><br />Every now and then, laws actually do make sense.Mother FartyPantshttp://motherfartypants.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-17136688641146664372012-06-04T16:26:56.889-04:002012-06-04T16:26:56.889-04:00"The first season the show was interesting.
