I don't think I can stomach watching this show anymore due to Kody. His posturing, hair flipping, overly dramatic facial expressions when the wives are talking makes me ill. It is so incredibly fake and a way to draw attention to himself. This is clearly an ADHD adult. When he was digging a hole in the backyard and asking Meri to have another baby, he was jumping all over the place like a child. I have been married to a man like this and it comes down to everything being about him. As soon as he gets bored, there will be another wife. I don't see this having anything to do about religion but a narcissistic man. <br />As for the woman, they seem to be genuinely brainwashed by this guy. They aren't stupid but I am guessing have their own childhood issues of possibly abandonment and neglect that justify being a wife with this clown while he sleeps with other women. Let's face it, the sexual aspect is what intrigues people watching the show. They even used it in the latest episode during Robyn's sermon. Regarding that episode, give me a break and Kody's expression while she was speaking was sickening. He is supposed to feel compassionate and sad that she was with another man when he is sleeping with four woman? I would love to see him interviewed by a confident, smart and independent woman.<br />I will be interested to see if this gets posted or if this site is being screened.<br />I have a M.S. and work in pediatric therapy. I was also a science teacher. Not bragging but have experience working with children and this juvenile behavior by this man compelled me to write. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-79183829943762402392013-08-26T16:31:25.574-04:002013-08-26T16:31:25.574-04:00Happyincali, I'm sure that's one of the ma...Happyincali, I'm sure that's one of the main reasons they didn't like the separate house being so far away from each other.<br /><br />NSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-36783130750682711752013-08-26T16:28:26.521-04:002013-08-26T16:28:26.521-04:00I agree, Kody should have been proud of Christine ...I agree, Kody should have been proud of Christine for trying to perfect the recipe and complimented her in front of everyone!

However; Janelle's kids will not follow suit in my opinion. They have watched their mother's pain and suffering as well as her carrying the financial load for the entire family for years. I would think that there would be some resentment with the kids, and anger for the unfairness of many many things.<br /><br />NKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-32295595109484729442013-08-26T10:50:54.819-04:002013-08-26T10:50:54.819-04:00Ha, I love those cards they hand out.

It was making me a little nuts. I understand buying/building a home is hard. I've gone through the process more than once. I was extremely happy when Kody and His Hair talked to Mariah about her nasty attitude.<br /><br />When I was in high school my parents were having a house built in Virginia. It was a long, stressful, crazy process and I felt horrible for both of my parents. My mother was constantly visiting the property and talking to the builder because my father kept trying to make changes that made the home less personalized and more resale ready.. It was a hot, stinky, drawn out mess.<br /><br />That written... I NEVER ACTED AS ENTITLED AS MARIAH!!!<br /><br />I was grateful that my family could afford to buy a home and felt extremely fortunate that my family could afford to build a customized home in a really nice area. Decades later I am still very grateful. During our building and move process we lived in a modest apartment that was budget friendly and kept stuff in storage. <br /><br />I know I cannot completely relate to Mariah's situation because my parents were just a lowly monogamous couple. I am sure if I saw my father's wives (or my mother's husbands and families) moving into their custom built homes while I sit in my spacious rental home waiting I would be furious. It isn't unusual for a child to take it personally if they feel their parent is being slighted, but in Mariah's case her mother made a choice to live that lifestyle. <br /><br />It was unreasonable for her to believe that she and Robyn would get their homes first and horrible for Meri to act so shocked and upset when she didn't get her way. I mean Meri even said, on camera, that she thought she wouldn't be "dead last". That leads me to believe that if it were one of the other wives getting their keys "dead last" she would have been spouting about patience and the joys of polygamy. <br /><br />Okay I'm starting to ramble and rant. The whole house situation made me nuts and the whole Mariah and Meri thing was the rancid icing on the moldy cake.RunLadiesRunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-31703144261243495472013-08-25T21:13:25.491-04:002013-08-25T21:13:25.491-04:00Thank you Cynical Jinx!

I think you're misunderstanding what we're saying. It's having their cake and eating it too. It's manipulating when and how they file bankruptcy, it's how they beg for money and then say they "MAKE$$$". It's a lot of things. I think anon was simply saying that if they're not single, then Kody should be providing, as well as all of the wives. And they have a history of not doing that and relying on taxpayers to do it instead. <br /><br />Anon, yes I know I'm not alone :). I just know that some people do fall for Christine's act, or just simply disagree with me. But I find her lying to be abhorrent.

And, although I don't remember a scene between Christine and Janelle's Mom, again, so what. Resources, resources. <br /><br /><br />Actually, I am thrilled that Robin and Meri cheated. Can you imagine what the last two weeks of December were like? Moving 4 households, Christmas, extended family in the middle of it (two Moms).

I used to watch the show. Now that SOAPNET has a Beverly Hills 90210 5 hr marathon on Sundays, SW lost me. I used to watch the show with my little Pumpkin woman who is now 26,so it brings back wonderful memories for me watching it. I stopped watching SW regularly last season because it was all fake and contrived. I do have a few questions though if anyone knows. Where did Jenelle get her degree from? I have to differ with someone's opinion of her, I really do not find her or any of the others all that bright. Another question, why are the only choices for colleges UNLV and some small little school in Utah? Logan seemed intelligent, how come no one strives for Harvard, Yale, USC where my daughter graduated from, or schools that are just better. Do they get free tuition at those schools, and hence those are their only options? These kids are all getting paid for being on the show, they can't afford to go to a good school? Meri was working on a degree in Utah when the show first came on, what happened with that, if anyone knows? Does anyone know what the ratings are of this show now? I know it was very high when it was first on, what is it now? What do these people make from TLC does anyone know? It must be a huge amount, that's the only reason they got loans I haven't checked with a title company to see what the loans actually are, because I've been so busy, but if anyone on here is a licensed realtor, you can check those things. The kids at the Jersey Shore got a million bucks an episode, each one did, if you can believe that, not at first, but the last season that's what they got, these people must really be making a ton of money from that show. Also what about Robyn's first husband? He's a Jessop,(sp) what is the real story there, if anyone knows. How do you know that Robyn's house has a lien on it? I think once the show goes off, they are done with those houses unless they pay a lot of it off with the TLC money!

She still refers to herself as plus size. I wish this family would get nutritional guidance, i think they would all benefit from knowing how many sugar grams are in the food they eat. They all seem addicted to carbs. The recipes they put on the TLC website are prime examples of poor choices. If your going to eat tapioca make real tapioca, not cream of wheat stuffed with sugar.
