I think she is the prettiest housewive. Janelle coming in second. Both women have 6 kids, so what if there is a little extra padding. Meri & Robyn are the smaller wives but neither have the face to go with it. I rather be chubby (like I am) and pretty (like I am) then skinny and ugly. Just sayin' you can fix your weight but you can't fix your face. <br /><br />Anywho; I always believed Kody's relationship to Janelle was more business than romance. I'm almost certain that is why her kids don't want to live the life. Can you imagine seeing your mother lonely and unloved for so long and then think to yourself I want that misery too. I think her kids see the preferiental treatment he gives to the other wives. They see what really happens. Soon Christine's kids will be the same way the more and more Kody neglects that relationship and they are forced to watch her struggle in this new way of life. With 4 houses life will never be as it was in Lehi. It's sad because from what we seen they had it going pretty good there. <br /><br />I do think Kody is stupid. You know how many men would love to have a woman who is loyal and domestic like Christine. She was not only caring for her children with him but also his children with another wife. She cooked and took care of the family. Do you know how many men would like a woman like Janelle who doesn't need to be taken care of by a man? Who is willing to work and pay her share and support the family as much as the man. These women are worth a whole HELL of a lot more than they are given credit for.

Robyn sure showed her "lying and denial of owning any responsibility for my own financial mess" honed b.s. skills. I'm sure she got told off and screamed at (provided she ever even answered the phone and actually talked to a collector - which i have my doubts she ever did) when she supposedly pleaded her cop-out, "i'm just a poor single mom of 3 and i don't have any money to pay my$4000 Victoria Secret bill!!" oh, the hilarity.

I think Christine is one of the wives who suffers most with all the changes since moving to LV. I think it was the biggest mistake this family has made. I feel even the addition of Robyn wouldn't have been so bad. They would have adjusted to her as she found her place in the family. However; moving to LV ruined their entire way of life and some people just can't adjust that easy especially when they don't know how.Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-50601222938890640862012-11-21T16:15:58.556-05:002012-11-21T16:15:58.556-05:00CPA Carol and DakotaJustice,

Logan and Mariah are great kids and they should go and get an education. I think what the poster was saying is that no one in this family thinks about finances. The average college graduate is taking on $26,000-$40,000 dollars of debt and they're not obtaining employment to pay off this debt. Student loans are the next housing crisis. Students are taking on too much debt. I hope they do get grants because Kody and his wives decided to have too many kids. But someone is paying for that too! It is called the tax payers. The parents need to educate Logan and Mariah about their student loan debt. Student loans have to be paid back in full. We can't afford another bail out.

That will mess anybody up. The move was horrible timing. The wives had zero time to get used to a 4th wife. They had no time to find where Robyn fit. Then they move and the entire dynamic changed overnight while still coping with the addition of a 4th wife. Then throw in another baby, and everything else you got chaos. That is what we see today. <br /><br />Just A Thought- I really wonder what those people are seeing that I'm not. I see a lot of misery and denial in that family. I do think it's funny when people only see the good. I sometimes wonder if either a) they are related too or personally know the Browns or b) they are seeking to gain attention from the Brown's by stroking their egos. Unless the only season the people watched was season 1 then I have no idea how they can not see all the problems this family has.

You really get to the heart of what bothers most of the readers of this blog I think. <br /><br />This is a group of 5 healthy adults living in America, and what are they doing with their lives, besides popping out children they cannot afford?<br /><br />They are in their 30's and 40's and while they are going to be raising children for the next 20+ years, they are all also going to be hitting their late 50's and into their 60's in those same 20 years. They are in the prime time of life to be making good money from a career. And all of them are basically sitting on the sidelines as far as that is concerned.<br /><br />So not only should they be thinking about the costs associated with raising a child to age 18, and possibly college, they should also be thinking about their own retirement!<br /><br />They come off as a massive group of takers to me. What do they contribute to this world besides more children? Do we ever hear of them talking about charity for others? <br /><br />The delusion these folks live with is frankly mind-blowing.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-62317125360003220362012-11-21T15:12:31.273-05:002012-11-21T15:12:31.273-05:00Thank you...I know a LOT of people out there live ...Thank you...I know a LOT of people out there live in huge homes and aren't any happier than the average person.

I watched the episode and actually thought they wouldn't get any pre-approval. How can they, after all the women apart from Meri are all single mothers, with no jobs to speak of, and a bunch of kids, not to mention their horrible financial past.<br />Nevertheless, they got pre-approved (or so we were led to believe) but what shocks me even more (not, really) how selfish and ungrateful they are.<br />- they have a house in Utah, and financially they would be better off going back there, adding a few rooms and for once try and be responsible.<br />- Why does Robyn need her sister to live with her? She decided on this weird lifestyle, knew Koduche wouldn't be around all the time, and now the sister is going to be around? So Robyn can work? She has no job, and doodling in a notebook is not work.<br />- I tip my hat off to Madison, considering the family she was raised in, I'm glad to see that this young lady doesn't want to live this ridiculous lifestyle, and has courage to stand up for herself, and what SHE believes; good for her.<br /><br />Lastly, not very related to the show, but just something I wanted to say. It saddens me to see these people that were born in a country such as America, yet they have nothing to speak of. They've had everything at their fingertips, they could have gone to college, gotten degrees, ACTUAL JOBS, watched their finances and paid their bills, and they just didn't care to.<br />I come from a war torn country, I left my country at age 8, and witnessed some horrific things, have had so much happen to me. My father had his kneecap broken during the war, and at age 32 was told if he needed another surgery (he's had 5) he would become an invalid. The Browns do not know what hardship looks like, they do not know what it is to lose your home, and everything you own, they do not know what REAL RUNNING AWAY AND FEAR ARE! They were scared of a cop driving through the street and sirens? Try hearing gunshot after shot, after shot and noises outside whilst you're in the basement hiding, and praying no one bangs on the door to enter the house and kill you and your family. They don't know the fear of having a parent be forced to go to war and front lines, and the fear of unknown; will he come home?<br />I could write a book about it. Moved to a new country where I had to learn English, had no friends, and yet managed to get educated, find a job, lead a productive life, pay my BILLS (how can someone forget to pay their water bill?!) and I just can't even understand why these 'adults' can't get their act together. It just isn't acceptable in my opinion. Know what my college educated parents did when we came here? They worked in a factory, they did it so we could put food on the table, and pay our bills, walked 45 minutes to the grocery store and carried our shopping back home. We were beyond happy when my parents could get us a little car so we could at least get shopping done without asking extended family to help us with bigger items.<br /><br />Please Brown family, spare us your dramatics. Your life could be so much better if you actually put your bloody thinking caps on. You have five adults, yet no one is actually USING THEIR BRAIN! Not one adult is actually doing anything with their life. I just don't buy their crap anymore, and I truly believe if someone wants a job they can get one. It might not be some prestigious job, or something you really would LOVE TO DO, but if cleaning windows puts food on the table and pays the bills, then do it. No shame in it. It is a shame to be a grown adult, with so many children yet be no kind of role model, that's a shame.<br /><br />Sorry this was long but I had to vent.<br />XElle - Aussienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-74927207405415668402012-11-21T14:29:12.930-05:002012-11-21T14:29:12.930-05:00Meri tweeted something about taking a test a coupl...Meri tweeted something about taking a test a couple of days ago...so maybe she is going back to school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-31534416921011790702012-11-21T14:14:33.976-05:002012-11-21T14:14:33.976-05:00I use to enjoy watching the show, pre Vegas and pr...I use to enjoy watching the show, pre Vegas and pre Robyn.
