Poor Janelle, she was working like a dog, trying to stretch dollars, and barely seeing her kids. Christine was in charge of a bunch of little kids all day long. Everything I see on the show dovetails with everything I've read. Common themes I see are: not enough Dad to go around, not enough money to go around (except for the TV dollars), unhappy moms, and a favorite wife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-74794457702932116352012-01-06T05:52:10.555-05:002012-01-06T05:52:10.555-05:00@A4Eliz
thanks for summary there! exactly my sent...@A4Eliz <br />thanks for summary there! exactly my sentiments........ from day 1 of the show, Meri talks about her sister and how much she misses her. one can see how close the 2 of them are!<br /><br />for me Meri & Christine have been the most truthful about their feelings! Meri is the only one to date who dared asked Kody how will he feel if he had to share her with other men!!!! that to me was and is still an eye opener! that Kody is feeding us lies that Meri is the one who chose all these women and she was the influence for him to be polyg!<br /><br />as someone pointed out earlier on, Kody knew while on mission that he wanted to go polyg - that was before he even married Meri!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-49726101077037766352012-01-05T16:03:38.165-05:002012-01-05T16:03:38.165-05:00anon 12:07 - mainstream LDS are the only branch ...anon 12:07 - mainstream LDS are the only branch of mormonism that sends out proselytizing missionaries. so, no AUB does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-44392534663478622872012-01-05T14:33:20.042-05:002012-01-05T14:33:20.042-05:00Christine's extended family has been shown. ...Christine's extended family has been shown. They took care of the younger kids when the others went to the east coast. They also showed extended family planning Meri's surprise party, and of course the family in Whyoming. In the couch interviews the kids talk about missing family in Utah. A lot of people don't want to be on a reality show even it weren't about an aspect of their lives they may not want to share I believe things were ok for this family before Robyn and especially before the show and the move. The kids really did seem happy, Janelle had her career, Meri was going to school and had a job she liked. It's harder to tell with Christine, I think she has probably had issues simmering for a long time. She did seem happy being the main caregiver and being responsible for the homeschooling. A lot of the times people get depressed when they have been very busy then aren't anymore and it seemed like that happened to her. I think the Brown kids are going to be fine, they have lived without the intrusive cameras and the older ones are protective of the younger ones who may not remember as well. Unlike the Gosselin kids who grew up having no privacy. And Kate Gosselin is mean and selfish, I would much rather have Kody for a parent. At least he likes his kid even when he doesn't pay much attention to them. I think Robyn's kids are going to have a lot of problems. They joined this big family with cameras going all the time which would have been overwhelming. They were also told to call Kody which is wrong for parents to do. It is like being told that their lives before the Browns didn't exist and that parents can control their feelings. Breanna seems like she may have ADHD. Kids like that get really anxious and overstimulated with too much noise and activity around them. That is probably why she was so upset at the wedding and has a hard time doing homework in all the chaos, that would be true for lots of kids without ADHD. It is pretty normal for kids to tease each other and the Brown kids would be used to sticking up for themselves. Paedon and Garrison were out of line to be teasing the girls but Robyn's kids aren't used to that so it upsets them a lot more. Meri is the calmest of the wives and Breanna may feel safer there which is why she wanted to live with Meri.A4Eliznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-73826045120697187612012-01-05T12:07:57.348-05:002012-01-05T12:07:57.348-05:00Thank you for the reply about Kody serving his mis...Thank you for the reply about Kody serving his mission in San Antonio, TX. I also did a Google search, and found posts from another person who served there at the same time, which said that Kody kept talking about how he wanted to be a polyg when he got back from the mission.<br /><br />WTF? I'm surprised that the LDS allowed this. Missionaries live under such strict rules, you would think that Kody would have been sent packing for this. Does the AUB Mormon polygamist church have its own missionary requirement? Or do they piggy back on the LDS missions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-45282255978647100172012-01-04T21:04:06.158-05:002012-01-04T21:04:06.158-05:00I googled and it appears Kody served his mission i...I googled and it appears Kody served his mission in San Antonio TX (?!!!?)Cynical Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613346629718091568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-87400948314430065242012-01-04T14:11:16.790-05:002012-01-04T14:11:16.790-05:00Kody would have had to serve his mission in the US...Kody would have had to serve his mission in the US, He barely has command of the english language, I doubt if he can speak a foreign language!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-13556672781842919622012-01-04T13:19:17.213-05:002012-01-04T13:19:17.213-05:00Does anybody here know where/when Kody served his ...Does anybody here know where/when Kody served his LDS mission? Something strange going on there, because all of the Mormon guys I have ever known who returned from their Missions were gung-ho LDS proselytisers, and the last thing they wanted to do was join a different church. If he and his family had decided to be a polygamist when he was 14, then why did his parents send him on a mission with the LDS church that they planned to leave? It doesn't add up.<br /><br />Another thing that doesn't add up is the sister wives claiming that they need each other to be part of a family. What about their own sisters? They could have the same close relationship (minus the husband sharing) with their own sisters if they wanted to. That's what non polygamists do. Yet the only sister that any of them talks about is Meri's sister who died. Do the others even have sisters? Or are their families so large and unweildy that there is no sibling closeness at all as adults?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-22712762160155931482012-01-04T06:05:37.063-05:002012-01-04T06:05:37.063-05:00Is it just me or has Meri disappeared into the bac...Is it just me or has Meri disappeared into the background??? even then she did not have much to say................Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-22554878403864405832012-01-03T21:35:06.879-05:002012-01-03T21:35:06.879-05:00Dr Drew could have asked great questions as a psyc...Dr Drew could have asked great questions as a psychologist but he's turned into a fame whore like Kody.

As far as I am concerned, they should be "tossing out the whole god damned religion". And I am going to leave it at that. ;*)<br /><br />I also agree with you, Border Collie, Drew Pinsky is a blight on the profession of psychology. He disgusts me with his pandering and opportunism; and, for those sins, along with the sin of hubris, he should be publicly flogged and sent to a new level of Dante's hell.<br /><br />This circus with the Browns is not going to end well. The shiz is going to hit the fan legally and I cannot imagine that this family unit is going to sustain itself in the long term.<br /><br />What is achingly sad - to me - about this mess, is that there are children involved. Were this to be just about a bunch of shallow, empty-headed adults, it would not mean a whit to me; but, it is loathsome to see kiddies lives being whipsawed by their idiotic, narcissistic parents exploits (especially in the name of religion).<br /><br />For shame on these grifters.RubberTreePlantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-22253704912130144012012-01-03T15:00:50.551-05:002012-01-03T15:00:50.551-05:00I found it interesting that Kody's favorite mo...I found it interesting that Kody's favorite moments of the season are all about Robyn, the baby, or - oh, yeah - his "guys night out".

The LDS church was further lead into polygamy by Brigham Young. They all know it! Im sure there are tens of thousands of LDS members right now with a framed photo of Joseph Smith (the famed polgamist) proudly diplayed on there living room wall. <br /> In my opinion LDS needs to pick!

Even stranger is here he states he ADOPTED the belief at 14 but DIDN'T KNOW there was a venue in which to live it, then found one at 21????? Bull crap! He grew up in Lovell, a small town where there are some AUB living, how could he have not known there was a VENUE? And then he found a faith to fit his tastes? Weird. On that same note, I don't believe Janelle who has also stated in earlier episodes that she hadn't even heard of polygamy or knew anything about it........uh, B.S. as well. I don't believe for a minute anyone growing up LDS has NOT heard of polygamy in their church's past, at the VERY least! And since some polygamous scandal seems to always rear its head in Utah every 10 years or so, and the LDS then goes on the defensive saying those are not Mormons, etc, how could you just not be aware of the polygamists around you?Religulousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-4240651404400822282012-01-03T09:38:17.497-05:002012-01-03T09:38:17.497-05:00BC--I think that was a typo or a speak-o.

Kody, Jennelle, and Christine all made comments about the religion being not so important. Of course Christine could not stand the idea of the kids attending another church's social activities was horrific to her because the church could be a bunch of sharks. What an insult. They should be asking nicely but instead acted like grifters, maybe because they are.<br /><br />I also noticed Christine disassociating themselves from the Jeff's-like FLDS but says there are more people like them, living plural marriage, than there are regular LDS. Has this woman got a brain? That is not true of regular LDS Mormons. In addition, they blame the secrecy of the Jeffs-like groups on the state, because they might get arrested. Untrue. They work in paranoia against the state but actually separate themselves so they can control their adherents in thought, deed, money, education, etc. They don't want their followers to know anything but what the masturbating child molester tells them.Border Colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707164450793550636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-46778318516793992242012-01-03T03:35:26.103-05:002012-01-03T03:35:26.103-05:00well that's different, kody sayin he adopted t...well that's different, kody sayin he adopted the faith at 14.
