This is their lifestyle and I am not here to judge that. I am here to share my observations. I have not seen anything that remotely resembles any great 'sisterly' love between these four women. I see jealousies and meanness. If this is the lifestyle they were born to or well aware of then they should have understood the 'teachings' of (in their faith) thou shalt not be jealous of thy sister wife !! So there is a huge contradiction right there. Jealousy is the crack on the head that should tell them that sharing your husband with other women in a Marriage is not a good idea!!
Meri is a master manipulator, she wears her 'first wife' status like a badge of honor. Always sending out subtle reminders as to who is Queen B. Through her Mariah has the same 'entitled' attitude. Who sits in a car staring at a house, angry at everyone but her Mother. After all it was Meri's fault, she kept making changes and was late in putting her documents through. As for the wet bar!! OMG! On her tour of the house she points out the 'infamous wet bar' and says she uses it a lot. Then walks into the kitchen and says it doesn't get used much because she has no one to cook for!!! I thought she has 17 children!!! So basically, once Mariah left for (expensive) college, Meri's work here is done??? This is where they talk the talk but don't walk the walk!! She should now be giving back to the others, Christine and Janelle and even Robin. Look after their children, (like Christine did for her while she worked) so janelle, Christine and Robin can get full time jobs. This would indicate to me that they are truly one family, supporting each other. Ever since they got their McMansions they lifestyle has changed.... They are now, 4 women sharing a man. One woman is married and the other three are his mistresses. Which does nothing for his credibility in singing the praises of a plural lifestyle.
This is not a religion, don't kid yourselves, this is a lifestyle. Men have been doing this for years, married with mistresses, the only difference with Kody is he is justifying his infidelity by calling it a RELIGION so he can live it out in the open. Sadly, he has sold these 4 women his kool aid. These women have to support themselves and their children. I am sure they are paid handsomely by TLC, what happens when the show is cancelled? Nothing is forever you know!! Does Kody really think that these women would band together if anything should happen to him?? Not a hope in Hell!! They don't like and most of the time don't even tolerate each other. Queen B is only legal one and good luck to the others!! I read somewhere that when Kody married Robyn they went away on a two month honeymoon...TWO MONTHS? Now that may have been a typo in the article, not sure, but if they did... (1) did he do the same with the previous wives. (2) how does he afford that (3) how does that work out in spending equal time. My husband and I spent 10 days in Singapore, loved it but missed our respective kids and were happy to be home..we have the rest of our lives together. There is no order or rules to this plural marriage, which is what causes a lot of dissention and I cannot see any happiness here. The children are amazing and that is ALL AND ENTIRELY due to Christine!! She is a bit wacky but she is an amazing mother and those kids love her. I wish them all the best but I am dubious of a happy ever after for the wives..eventually someone is going to spit out the kool aid.
