Robyn has been dealt a pretty crappy hand, IMO, from living in poverty with three children, to being referred to as the Monkey Wrench in the family. Robyn was offered the polygamous life she wanted, and she took it. I was of the opinion that they (Meri)found her, not that she went out seeking a huge family, a TV show and a McMansion. So, she cries a lot - she seems sincere to me. Women are women are we are all capable of being *itchy from time to time, but I don't see a lot of that from Robyn. Of course Kody seemed over-infatuated with her at first - she was new, and she's very pretty. It's only to be expected. I think Robyn was dealt the worst hand of all, because she was blamed for the expected problems it would cause to bring a new wife into a family unit that had been basically unchanged for - what, 16 years? When she saw her new home, hers were tears of joy and relief, not of entitlement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592314708265694284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-22783949179662453632013-07-30T22:49:29.174-04:002013-07-30T22:49:29.174-04:00Seriously... letting your husband sleep with other...Seriously... letting your husband sleep with other women in the name of religion, ISN'T sacrificing?

I thought that having sister wives would be so wonderful.it This program has changed my mind. All I have seem from Meri is crying!! She seems like the most unhappy woman in the world. How can this be healthy?? I think Meri is a wonderful person but so extremely sad. She is in constant turmoil and most every episode is hard to get through for her tears. I wish she could find just a bit of happiness, perhaps if she leaves the marriage that would someday be a possibility, if she isn't already too traumatized.

This blog is not an admiration society for the Browns. We watch the show, and we write opinions about the show that may not be complimentary to the Browns or their lifestyle.<br /><br />SWB is not a place for the faint of heart. Commenters here can be very passionate in their opinions. But you cannot resort to bashing the commenters here with the notion you are attempting to "say something that would penetrate". Presenting your argument in a manner that addresses the comment and why YOU feel it's wrong without getting personal is a more effective way of possibly changing some attitudes. It's difficult sometimes, but it can be done.<br /><br />So to sum up, if you were just here to stir things up, I'm happy you "have seen the light" and you can be on your way. <br /><br />If you truly want to change some opinions, start by stating your opinion without resorting to using personal attacks!Cynical Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613346629718091568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-57652781857064771782012-03-01T11:35:26.669-05:002012-03-01T11:35:26.669-05:00Well obviously I was reacting to the other attacks...Well obviously I was reacting to the other attacks on their family.

I know her. She is a good person, and she has a good relationship with her husband. If there is any lack in the other relationships it their own setbacks and weeknesses (sic), not Robyns. A baby should not be a topic of discussion!<br /><br />Your edited response to Lana226:<br /><br /> I disagree :)<br /><br />Your edited response to Anonymous 7/22 6:05am:<br /><br />Sorry, but Robyn did not know their family at all. I am her sister and I was there, it was a dance and she had only first met him just before that, with no idea whatsoever of a relationship, Robyn used to live in Montana with her then husband, He left our church later. The whole idea for the show was brought to them not the other way around. AND, Meri is Happy, her and Robyn have a very strong relationship, if that is not clear in the show then it is clear to me every time i see them. Unfortunately, reality tv plays on any kind of drama and only includes the comments they think will get ratings. Meri is great, but so are all of the wives. They have their strengths and their weaknesses. All you see is their weakness. Robyn has been dealt some pretty crappy hands yet she is one of the most giving people I know. <br />.....................................................<br /><br />I hope you see my point.<br />Cynical JinxCynical Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613346629718091568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-70529186147916227352012-02-07T03:39:36.750-05:002012-02-07T03:39:36.750-05:00Meri is the most intelligent and savvy of the wive...Meri is the most intelligent and savvy of the wives, even if she does seem solicitous to Kody most of the time. She will cave on her own emotions when Kody expresses the slightest displeasure despite what must be hundreds of sleepless nights alone while her husband is sleeping with the other women. She HAD to become BFFs with Robin, since the two of them are in direct competition to be Kody's #1 wife. Truth is that Robyn has Kody's heart right now; the birth of Solomon cemented that. For Robyn to offer to have Meri's baby is either very kind or utterly manipulative; it confirms Meri's powerlessness and Robyn's power, and having children is very central to this family. I like Robyn but don't trust her, and Meri shouldn't, either. Robyn is too "good" to be true--her emotional displays of "sincerity" are shallow; at times when she talks, her real feelings come out and they are rarely kind or selfless. Meri will one day walk away. She's just too smart to stay there forever, especially if Kody starts to devote more time to Robyn and the brood she's planning to have. For whatever reason, Robyn has this sexual hold on Kody--you can see that he favors her and is like a schoolboy even when he talks about her. I've never seen him cry on the show, yet he did when talking about a doctor's appointment about Solomon--and the baby was fine; he even knew this when he was shedding those tears. Kody's ego is as big as Las Vegas and just as showy. You can't help but like his boyish good looks, enthusiasm, and energy; what's bad is his inability to see their situation from any vantage point other than his own. Meri is the only one who really challenges him to see their lives clearly, and this often confounds him. Remember when she asked how he would feel if she had several husbands? He wouldn't even answer--it was just such a horrible feeling for him. The hypocricy that defines him pales in the shade of his great hair and high self-regard. Kody Brown is his own best friend--the wives are just his various crowns that confirm how amazing he already is--in his own lives and, he hopes, the eyes of the world.xyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612967655837205136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-72763688724323035242012-01-08T18:23:49.350-05:002012-01-08T18:23:49.350-05:00She is nuts.
