If Robyn had a miscarriage, she is now the third wife of his to have a miscarriage and his idiot brain probably feels that his manhood would be questioned. I can see Robyn keeping mum because the pros of whining and milking it is not worth the cons of being seen as a "failure". She is supposed to be the fresh young thing pumping out kids with no issue. I can see her being embarrassed about a miscarriage and possibly afraid Kody will move on to number 5 sooner rather than later if she starts having problem pregnancies.

Then their publishing company and TLC announced the Browns would be "live-tweeting" during the show. This was back in May, and that I think spelled the end of the 'exclusive' wives chat on their "friend only" facebook page. Well, that and the fact those facebook chats were 99% of fans commenting how wonderful the wives were and almost impossible to follow. Twitter apparently is more efficient. <br /><br />The Brown's personal friend run fanpages are almost completely dead now...there hasn't been a wife posting on them in over 6 months.Cynical Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613346629718091568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-16876741651566458562013-01-04T12:52:03.083-05:002013-01-04T12:52:03.083-05:00Hi CJ, I hope ur feeling better!

Surely it would be great drama for them? The only other thing I can think of is that the timeline was all taken out of order but then again Robyn had Solomon while still in Utah so I just don't get it. Do you think they will make it a storyline for next year's season?"<br /><br />The Browns moved to LV in January 2011. Sol was born in October 2011, 10 months later. not in Utah.<br /><br />And everyone probably knows by now that I am in the "Robyn was carrying post-pregnancy fat" camp. I feel that if she HAD miscarried, since both Meri and Christine have been so open about theirs, and Robyn being (like the rest of the wives) such a sympathy/attention ho, we would have heard about it. And as stated they made a big fat hairy deal about the spotting...<br /><br />DakotaJusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486240799039855601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-84229776323727851172013-01-04T11:41:28.449-05:002013-01-04T11:41:28.449-05:00AAARUUUUUGGGHHH, I can't stand that Meri.. She...AAARUUUUUGGGHHH, I can't stand that Meri.. She's acts 10x worse than a child throwing a temper tantrum in the Grocery Store, all because the she can't have the box of cereal with the toy inside! She is a RUDE, GREEDY, WHINNY, SPOILED ROTTEN, BEEEAATCH! "And Robin is always right there just feeding into her stupidity". Of course, Meri brought Robin in to defend her while she picked out the most expensive "EVERYTHING" for her McMansion, WHILE OVER BUDGET. She knows Robin's "NOT" gonna go against her on anything! ..After all, "Robin wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for Meeeeerrrri!" I truly believe Meri thinks Robin owes her. And Robin probably thinks (if she doesn't kiss ass) Meri will have her sent back to the trailer park she came from!<br /><br /><br />Speaking of Robin, would somebody "please" buy that "CRY ASS" (and Meri) a bucket to catch those FAKE tears. Boooohoooo Boooohoooo.."It's ok Meri, your gonna be in your new 5bdrm McMansion by Christmas, and your only child can enjoy ALL these rooms before she leaves for college in a few months. ..UUUUGGGH! Honestly, I don't know why Robin's even building a house to begin with, she seems very content just living up Meri's ASS! Hell, Kody could've just took Robin's money instead of trying to guilt Christine out of hers. Oh yeah, I forgot..Kody <br />was just making a joke, HaaaaHaaaaHaaa..JACKASS! .."Maybe" he was joking a little bit the first time, but he was dead serious the second time!<br /><br />As far as Kody's hair (wasted 5mins of my life) get rid of the Dirty Mop look already! You "DO NOT" look anything like a Surfer DUDE! "DORK" YEEEESSSS.. "DUDE" NOOOOOOOOO! Not only does it look stringy & just blaaauuhh, it also looks like a little girls cut. Kody really needs a more MANLY cut, especially because he seems to be a little too in touch with his female side!<br /><br /><br />As far as Janelle and Christine, both of you ladies need to "WAKE UP" grab your kids and get the Hell out of there! Just GO ..RUN AWAY, RUN FAST, RUN FAR, but by all means..RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! Don't look back! You can't save the others..they're way too far gone! "BOTH OF YOU LOOK AND SOUND MISERABLE EVERY SINGLE WEEK!" And from what I remember..Your totally different people than when the show first started! "It's quite sad really!"<br /><br />I'm very happy for Logan! He's a very smart well rounded young man..Janelle did a great job with him! I gotta say I found it kinda funny with the whole going away quilt & video, ect.. I think a nice dinner & a few things for his dorm room would have been nice. ..But they acted like he was going to college on the moon, for many years!<br /><br />Guess they had to make it look "extra special" for TV!<br /><br /> SandraD.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06071555075282439111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-26515246248046755062013-01-04T11:38:33.483-05:002013-01-04T11:38:33.483-05:00Another article regarding Pay to Tweet.

The reason she is/was able to eat so much more healthy is because she only has 2 mouths to feed vs. 6 or 7. A budget of let's say $100 for groceries each week is stretched pretty thin on 7 people so you aren't able to afford the fresh produce and have to get the cheaper priced "processed"foods. So when she was throwing that dig out to Christine and Janelle, it comes back to her for being so selfish. It seems all mean Meri is concerned with is herself and Mariah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-69800988854493848082013-01-04T11:21:10.485-05:002013-01-04T11:21:10.485-05:00Madd Honest - I looked into that "paid to twe...Madd Honest - I looked into that "paid to tweet" online.

I am definitely a Johnny-come-lately as far as decor goes - I caught the bug last year when I decided to re-do my little pad - check out my kitchen work area on my profile pic :) <br /><br />Also wondered about the comment regarding the seeming lack of hardwood floors in LV homes? At more than 2x the average median price of homes in the area, I would definitely not consider these homes as "tract homes". although there is most definitely nothing special about them. <br /><br />(I just did a search on Realtors.com in Las Vegas NV and selected "hardwood floors" as a feature and got 929 single family dwellings for sale with hardwood out of 9,920 current listings. so they are out there, I suppose...my guess would be that new houses were/are being built so quickly and its cheaper and faster to just lay carpet as opposed to putting down hardwood floors which requires more of a time investment - not just in the installation, but the flooring needs to have a few days "rest" time in the home before installation in order to adjust to the humidity/temperature of the house - at least that's what I heard on Property Ladder and Flip That House - and I know that these types of developments the builders want to get the houses done and on the market ASAP.)DakotaJusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486240799039855601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-81456466683757506812013-01-04T10:55:21.830-05:002013-01-04T10:55:21.830-05:00I also completely agree Robyn was pregnant.

One time someone's head was covering it with just the right camera angle. That was no accident.<br /><br />Then at Logan's going away to college in August? She is thin and they are freely showing her whole body.<br /><br />I think she miscarried over the summer, not in November when she had that suspicious tweet.

And Meri chiming in that she only has the one child she has more resources for that child. <br /><br />This is when Meri was working part time when she felt like it, and had one teenaged child, and Janelle was working full time, getting up early, driving an hour to work, and coming home (after another long drive) to six kids that needed her attention and care. <br /><br />Even though Christine babysat the younger ones during the day, they would still esp want their mother, given they had very little attention from their dad, split among all those kids, and of course, they only got a fraction because he worried more about splitting his attention among the wives. And we know he was courting Robin, placating Mean Meri, and having to give some attention to Christine, pregnant again after a dangerous miscarriage. I'm sure there wasn't much for Janelle, or her kids. <br /><br />How it must have galled Janelle, that she provided the lion's share of the finances and was the only one with working credit at the time of the move, and worked the hardest, longest days, AND had, at that time, the most kids, and she had to count pennies to provide for her kids while Mariah got cell phones and whatever she wanted. <br /><br />Given how passive aggressive Meri is, I always thought her indulging herself and her one child at the expense of everyone else in the family was a way of her getting back at her more fertile sister wives. There certainly is no "mothering" going on with her toward those other kids. If she was a mother to them all, a good mother, she would be concerned with them all, and see them treated equally/fairly. Meri's very obviously not, and her and her child's spoiled nature is not only unfair, it risked tearing the family apart (Janelle talking about leaving when she was the main breadwinner and roof provider). <br /><br />Mariah's rah rahing on the subject of their having more children is really inappropriate and immature. Notice that the kids whose mothers had no funds/were on public assistance, or had to severely economise were saying the family had no more resources for more children, and rah-rah Mariah who has had every wish indulged, thinks there is no problem adding more kids. It's easy to understand how immature she is (she acts about 12), but someone -- her father, her mother, the other kids in the family, whatever, -- need to explain that while she lives in a single room by herself with tons of extras, her half siblings can be bunked 3 to a room and don't have those extras.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-59353975841572301512013-01-04T09:59:46.590-05:002013-01-04T09:59:46.590-05:00I agree...Robyn WAS pregnant.

Yeah. Its REALLY funny when someone with 7 mouths to feed/clothe/educate/entertain gets the same money as someone with 2. Cannot believe Janelle's stoicism, she has the patience of a saint. When she said "as long as my needs were met" and omitted "even though every whim and unnecessary extravagance of Meri is indulged" I thought that was admirable- since basically her and her kids get the bare essentials. Meri's every want/desire is fulfilled. I wanna go Mexico! I wanna go again! I wanna go Utah! I wanna wet bar! I wanna hubby room!<br /><br />Gah. Boring end to the season.
