Thank you for saying this! Kendra's laugh was very annoying. At first I thought, well she's very young and probably nervous but the more she laughed, the more irritating it became. Her conversation with her Dad would have been more tolerable if she didn't speak so fast. I started to fast forward through the episode and then finally gave up and just changed the channel.

Well, if it wasn't clear before, it's completely obvious now that David hates Shannon. The look in his eyes when he's speaking to her is with absolute disgust and he's literally just toying with her emotions at this point. But on the positive side, when he files for divorce, Shannon can use footage from the show as proof of irreconcilable differences and emotional abandonment. David is not even trying to pretend anymore. While I still do not like Shannon, I did feel a little sorry for her tonight. She could lose weight and become super model thin and it wouldn't matter at this point. David has checked out of the relationship physically, emotionally and mentally. He's completely over Shannon!

David wants support but I don't believe that's what Shannon wants. She wants him to suffer and hurt, like he's hurt her. What they need to save their marriage is counseling. Also, David will not dial back his training since that's his excuse to be away from Shannon. The sad part about all of this is that once the girls go to college, there will no longer be a reason for David to stay. They will just be strangers bonded by marriage. We have 2 sons in college and 2 still at home. The dynamics change when kids start to leave the nest. If you don't have a strong foundation as a couple and only focus on your children, it will strain the relationship. Kids leave! Our job as parents is to make them responsible and self-sufficient adults. Eventually it will be just Shannon and David without the buffer of the kids. If he stays, David will probably be racing out the door to file divorce papers, the second the last daughter is dropped off at college.

How true! Some people are just not happy unless they are making others miserable. Not only does Shannon not realize how fortunate she is, she refuses to take any accountability on the problems in their marriage. I'm not saying that David having an affair is her fault, he made choice to be with another woman. However, if my husband had an affair after so many years of marriage, as angry and hurt as I would be, I would have to eventually do some soul searching. Again not saying that she is the blame, but Shannon would eventually push the most faithful man away.

This was honestly a boring episode! I fast forwarded through most of Vicki's scenes. I'm also so sick of the 'Eddie is gay' storyline. Is he gay, bi or straight, who cares. He may or may not be gay but the more Tamra comes at Vicki and keeps talking about it, the more people are going to focus on the rumors. Just let it go and ignore! Her priority should be her children and not some rumor. Shannon, oh Shannon! That woman is exhausting and insufferable! As someone so eloquently posted, "We have a Whiner"! I understand that it takes time to forgive an affair but I don't believe that she will ever forgive David. It's so obvious that he has checked out of the marriage and can you blame him? He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. There's no winning. Meghan just validated why I don't like her. She can dish it out but can't take it. Fun fact, millions of women have babies every year. Meghan, you are not special and being pregnant, nor hormones is an excuse for being a mean girl. Lydia calmly called her on her BS and she uses her pregnancy as an excuse. It's time for her to go and focus on being a Mom. If having a newborn is causing her to meltdown, just wait until she's the mother of a toddler, a pre-teen and teenager. She's going to look back at this time as a walk in the park.

Yes, it was! Even a dog knows not to lay in their own poop, because you know, it's gross. Evidently, Steven did not get that memo.

I couldn't agree more! As I was watching the show I mentioned to my husband that there's definitely more to that family's story. Thankfully, I've never had to deal with an alcoholic parent and I'm sure, the emotional implications last a lifetime for a child, BUT, there was something off with his relationship with Justin. My heart broke when watching Justin because you could just feel that he was broken down. Steven Sr is honestly the biggest problem in that home. Classic enabling, co-dependent relationship. We need to start a 'Free Justin' Go Fund Me and ship him to another country. Steven's too big to fly and even if he could, he would say something to piss off someone and would be thrown out the emergency exit. I mean booted off the plane. Just wishful thinking!

I am so glad someone mentioned HIPAA violations. That's the biggest reason people should not disclose patient information to unauthorized people. And as for any Doctors and Nurses gossiping about patients, all it takes is for the wrong person to overhear and file a complaint with the BON or Medical Board. That's when I step in! But this episode was so frustrating to watch. I had to pause my DVR multiple times to get through it. Steven is just a vile, manipulative, and hateful person. There's absolutely no hope for him but Justin can be saved. If and only if, he leaves that dysfunctional family.

Okay, a few thoughts on this episode! First, I really wanted to reach through my TV and slap Kody. There's one thing in being a supportive husband during the delivery but Kody was just so obnoxious with his 'we' and 'breathe'. Newsflash Kody, 'we' are not doing anything, Robyn is the one in labor. And, this is not her 1st baby. I'm pretty sure she knows when to breathe, push etc. My husband knew that his jobs during my 4 deliveries were to hold my hand, place cold cloths on my forehead, cut the umbilical cords and run to the hospital cafeteria, once everything was finished to buy me ice cream. Anything else would have resulted in my raging, which he quickly realized when our 1st son was born :). Second, Robyn's parents sitting there was BEYOND creepy to me. Heck, my Dad is a Physician and yet he knew not to come into the room until the baby's cry was heard. It would have been uncomfortable for both of us. However, I did have my Mom present for the 1st Grandson but she sat next to me during the last 10 minutes and not creepily staring. Third, I have no problem with hospital vs home births or natural delivery vs begging for an epidural (aka me). It's a personal choice that each woman needs to make and no one should be judged for their decisions. Finally, childbirth is a miracle and a blessing but Robyn is not a trooper. Millions of women birth babies every year, all around the world under ordinary as well as extraordinary circumstances.

My mistake, law school! Either way, I don't see her being motivated enough for 6-7 more years of school. Once TLC offers her a spinoff when she gets married and has her 1st baby; college will be a distant memory.

Exactly! Planning a wedding is a lot of work but does she not have a house full of Mom's to help with the planning and alleviate stress? Don't most women work and/or go to school and still manage to plan a wedding without taking a year off? I'm with you, that was just not an option in my family! While, my family was in a MUCH better position than the Browns, I worked, finished my final year of college, applied for Grad School and purchased a home; while planning our wedding in my hometown of NY, while still in college back in LA. Had I told my parents that I was taking a year off to plan our wedding, I would have been quickly brought back to reality :).

When I stated that Maddie wanted to be 'rescued', I did not mean in a physical/emotional sense. She was obviously independent and smart enough to move out on her own and enroll in college.While the Browns are a lot of negative things, they aren't trying to hold their children back. I just feel that she started college with a sense of idealism but got sidetracked. Yes, all young adults change while in college but kids who are really committed to getting an education, don't just drop out after a year. When my daughter wanted to spend a semester with her boyfriend in Tokyo in her junior year, we talked her out of it and said to wait until she get's the 1st degree. If it's really love, he will wait! She was angry at us but thanks us everyday that we were so adamant that school must be a priority. Didn't Maddie's own mother say that she tends to let her boyfriends change her? I get it, she's in love but at least think before you leap. The PA Program is very specific and it's not so easy to transfer to another school. I hope that goes back to school but I just don't see it. I think she will find contentment in being a wife and quickly become a mom.

I couldn't agree more! Taking a semester off once you have a degree is one thing but it's obvious that Maddie is not committed to getting an education. She's committed to being a wife! I laughed when she decided that she wanted to become a Physician Assistant. Does she realize how competitive it is to get into PA school and how difficult that degree is? And to take a year off for a boyfriend, shows her level of commitment. My daughter is in her last semester in college and was accepted into PA School. And she managed to maintain a long distance relationship with her boyfriend who is in Medical School in Tokyo. I think Caleb seems like a nice guy but he could have been any man really. Maddie was simply looking for someone, (anyone), to rescue her. There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting married at a young age. My husband and I married during our senior year of college. But, even while being married, we fullfilled our education goals of me getting an MBA and him finishing Medical School. I wish that someone would tell Maddie that you can have both a husband and a degree/career. Women do it all of the time. You do not have to forfeit your dreams.

You honestly took the words right out of my mouth! As I was watching Christian saying over and over again when Maria returned home " I missed you Maria. I honestly missed you ", with that stupid, constipated expression, I wanted to reach through my TV screen and smack him. I cannot stand that Child-Man. I told my hubby, "Mark my words, I would snap if I were his wife ". I'm all for being immature, they are both kids and still have ALOT to learn in life. I have a 17 year old son and there is NO WAY he is ready for the responsibility of marriage. But at least he is a great kid. Christian is just a douchebag. His parents should have waited a few years before arranging him because he's clearly not ready to be a husband and responsible human being. I don't believe that he has changed at all. He dodged a bullet with the Gypsy Elders and lucked out when Maria returned. So he's playing nice right now. But his true colors will come out again and the Christian we all love to dislike will reappear. Regarding Josh and Megan, I really want to know what medical residency lasts only one year? And why is Megan acting like a spoiled brat about "being ignored in Indianapolis". Sweetie, welcome to the world of a being a doctor's wife. I lived through 5 years of my husband's Anethesiology residency with 2 little kids, in a cramped condo and in a strange state to boot. I could go days without seeing him because he was so busy and literally lived in the hospital. However, I never complained because I knew what I signed up for when we married in college. Megan needs to stop trying to live like some Southern Belle and start being realistic. Otherwise, she's going to turn into one bitter Debbie Downer.

Doug and Jackie have a son and a daughter together, Chantel and Doug Jr. She has another daughter Takari that is not Doug's but he helped to raise her. Jackie and Takari do not get along. As crazy as I believe that Jackie is, I don't believe that she acts that way around Doug. You can tell by the way that she was hesitant to tell him about the spitting incident on Meghan. Also, considering that he has threatened to leave her in the past, she knows to pull back the crazy with Doug. From what I hear from a friend who grew up with Doug in Seattle and is still close to him, Doug was very close to his mother. Maybe he has some 'Mommy issues', which could partially explain his connection to Jackie. Or, maybe because they are both from Seattle, he feels comfortable around her. Whatever the reason, they've been together a long time, so there must be love. I don't believe that she is holding anything over him since he probably doesn't see that constant crazy side that we see on TV. Jackie definitely has some mental illness. At least I hope so, because that is the only logical explanation for her behavior. She's just too old to be so needy and insecure. But she is entertaining in that 'can't look away from a wreck' kind of way. Draya continues to be my favorite. I love her no nonsense way of dealing with these ladies. She's going to tell you exactly how she feels about you, whether you like it or not.
