If we were looking at her compared to the average person, she would probably just be average. She does seem to be a good mother who has raised strong children and in the situation that she is in, I do admire her for that. Although I would have admired her more if she had just stayed out once she got out. Then again, we never would have heard of her if that was the case ;)Captain Planetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-73872286172350692512012-11-15T10:20:26.682-05:002012-11-15T10:20:26.682-05:00So weird that the Dargers wives are pretty and sli...So weird that the Dargers wives are pretty and slim while Kody's are...well you know :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-42356792351642188192012-11-15T09:16:42.728-05:002012-11-15T09:16:42.728-05:00Guess we'll see what happens over this season ...Guess we'll see what happens over this season or mini season or whatever you want to call it. I have filed BK myself (18 years ago) and afterwards I was pretty diligent in making sure my bills and things were paid on time (still am). But then again...I was gainfully employed. The Browns...not so much. Janelle might be an accountant but whether she's the Wizard of Oz being able to clean up their credit AND magically make income appear when there basically is none, other than the TLC $ and whatever they might be getting from their LIV downline (notice i didn't count the SWCloset as "income"?). And really - I don't see banks counting that MLM $$ as real, long-lasting, stable income. They might be qualifying for that 40% down "creative financing" deal we saw last season. However...they did admit at their UNLV chat that they haven't moved anywhere. Guess we'll see. I really do think that people give Janelle WAY too much credit for brains. Not that she isn't smart, but being mixed up with this bunch makes me doubt exactly HOW smart she is.DakotaJusticenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-11967594399353435852012-11-15T08:35:41.038-05:002012-11-15T08:35:41.038-05:00Attention 2004aumom: please contact me via email t...Attention 2004aumom: please contact me via email to the blog SWB email address listed above.

I myself did years ago. I got my mortgage well under the 7 year clearing period (it was 3 years after I filed) after I spent those 3 years making sure any payments I had were paid on time. I also had income which I think would be the biggest issue the Brown's have. You have to prove you can pay back the loan to get one. I'm thinking Janelle has probably handled the rest of the finances well enough to put them in the clear to get a loan, but in Robyn's case she either didn't file bankruptcy or if she did it is to new. That or she filed years ago and didn't bother to do anything to repair her credit score. In the clip it was insinuaded that 3 of the loans may be approved because they were asked what happens if one does not. So maybe the other wives do qualify as to where Robyn's credit really sucks.

I mean get real honey, you don't NEED six bedrooms. Why take from the rest of the family because you feel "punished" for not having more kids. I think it is irrational. How can she honestly take what she doesn't need even if it hurts everyone else? It's selfish.

She needs to be back in a secure office job. Based on realtors I know (and I know quite a few) Janelle just doesn't have the ambition nor the personality or the "go get 'em"-ness that a realtor needs to have in order to succeed in the business. <br /><br />In previous blog posts/comments, we have had commentary from posters here who are also in the real estate industry, who have given insight on what it takes, both financially and timewise, to become a realtor. Passing the test is just the beginning. there are also licensing fees involved, training periods in which one is working for peanuts or less than peanuts while "learning the trade" under an established realtor. Furthermore, if Janelle WAS licensed, it would be online somewhere and one or more of our real estate folks here would have found something about it and brought it to CJ's attention. It has been almost a YEAR since she took the test...and apparently done NOTHING with it. <br /><br />Janelle might be "very smart" but I've had my doubts about that. Smart means nothing, or less than nothing, without motivation, persistence and ambition to set goals and work towards achieving those goals. Not just saying "I'm going to get my real estate license", take the test, pass and then do nothing. Or instead of disciplining her kids (as in that fistfight that broke out last Christmas) just say "I'm going to make their lives as miserable as they made mine" and passively-aggressively do worse than nothing, making the two boys hug each other...? what they needed was a time out and some discipline and they didn't get it. IMO.<br />DakotaJusticenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-88396365001783721072012-11-14T15:53:31.921-05:002012-11-14T15:53:31.921-05:00I know they took their realtor tests and Janelle p...I know they took their realtor tests and Janelle passed, but has she actually become licensed?

There's a huge difference between him and Kody (no pun intended). <br /><br />And, are the Browns so in debt that even taking in however many thousands of dollars per episode they earn from the show they still can't buy these homes? <br /><br />Hasn't the state of Utah backed off. Why don't they just go home? <br /><br />It seems unlikely, too, that they can't find a couple bank-owned 3500-square-foot houses outside Vegas to buy. Why do they really need four separate homes? Meri certainly doesn't need her own home. Why can't she just shack up with Robyn. They pretend to be BFFs. The other two women are the ones who need a large home, and they would probably be happy to share.RoseRednoreply@blogger.com
