Wow Meri seems to have gain a few extra pounds. The girls with no shoes - they were probably just finished wading in the surf.

At the time of moving to Vegas, things seemed to be equally split between wives. Houses, money, time, etc. I think Christine, Janelle and Robyn may have gotten a bit more grocery money. So Meri was able to give Mariah more in the way of material things, than say Christine was able to give her kids. All attention was on Mariah in that house. When Kody came over, Mariah didn't have to fight for his attention. She wasn't raised to think of herself as part of the larger picture, but that she was special. Of course she expected to be able to go to a high priced private school - why wouldn't she? I think when she came out, some of her siblings (and adults) weren't as supportive as they could have been. She ruled that house with Meri, and instead of, deespite, warning her mom about the catfishing, she has chosen to scold her, alienate her, and get Kody to side with her. Kody was already alienated from Meri, so he could care less - the catfishing only gave him an excuse to be more obvious about it. Meri is no more a part of the family than a distant aunt who happens to live nearby. Until CP is settled she'll stay around for a payout. I suspect she spends a lot of time crying to Jen how unfair things are for her.

Meri never got along with Janelle or Christine. The kids all adore Christine, and Janelle acknowledges her contribution to raising the kids. Meri has always been difficult, and then she think she will have a "true" friend in Robyn . . . 2 against 2. She thought she had something to hang over Robyn's head - but didn't turn out how she planned. Meri alienated her only child, and it doesn't seem any of the other kids care whether or not she's around. Janelle's kids came to Christines during Covid. They expressed their feelings clearly over where would everyone spend Thanksgiving. Meri was the treated like the "old lady" neighbor who Kody & Robyn felt sorry for, so asked her over. No matter what daily affirmations she has, she's one lonely woman, with nobody in her life. She gloms on to Jen, or people in LLR, but day to day, she's on her own, with nobody in that huge family checking in on her, wanting to see her, checking on her. Now, she further down the ladder with Christine leaving with her head held high, family that surrounds her, and adores her. Meri could possibly have had fan support had she left first. But now, she would just be copying.

In Sept 2021 Janelle registered a new retail business NTYK LLC with AZ Sec of State The location is a space at 809 W. Riordan Rd. Flagstaff AZ . Janelle is the main "agent", but Christine, Kody, Robyn & Meri are all listed as 5 company contacts. This is an office building, renting for $2,000 per month. Questions. 1) How can they afford to rent yet another space. 2) what are they selling? Plexus?), and why would all their names be associated. Riordan Mill Center is the complex. They are listed in Suite 100. But what shows up for that is a Mail Box Plus , pack 'n ship, franchise.

When a "fan" took those pics of Robyn and Kody in a mall in Sedona, Roby's hair was lighter, not in the tight ringlets, makeup done and she was dressed in more flattering clothes. I think her look for the interview was on purpose to look dowdy, dated and more "poor me" .

Cataract surgery is a breeze. Life changing. No pain, one day recovery. I had a fast growing cataract four years ago, then the other eye. Came home from first surgery, looked around my living room and said "OMG who picked out this paint color". It is the easiest surgery with the biggest impact. You will be fine, and have a whole new view of the worl.

Janelle posted this today. I bet Robyn is screaming "It should be me, I can make a relish tray". But nice to see Janelle support Christine.

I think it was to point out that she's remaining faithful to their religion and could be judgemental based on the religion. She was, in an awful, not subtle way, trying to say Christine gave up not only Kody but her religious beliefs. She wanted to look "sweet" and pious.

She went out of her way to look "prim" and matronly. From the ringlets to the 1970's polyester blouse, and notice the black flat shoes. She was telegraphing that she is the proper plyg wife.

When Kody told Suki he didn't want to talk about Christine, they broke away. When they came back - scene was cameras getting ready, and you can hear Kody apologize to Suki "I'm sorry I walked away, I wasn't angry with you". Now that would have been something worth filming.

TLC just announced Christine will have her own digital series @TLC.com - Cooking with Just Christine. New episodes every Sunday on FB or streaming @TLC

I honestly suspect that Kody kept daily journals of every disobedient wife's actions. Every slight, every single time he felt disrespected by one of the wives or one of the kids. Wrote them down with times and dates. So, all those boxes in Christine's garage when she moved him, marked Kody's books, were probably just those journals.

TLC dropped a new sneak peak on FB. OMG Clearly Kody & Robyn rehearsed. Robyn says she found fractures in the family once she married Kody. It seems, in her judgemental mind, they never dealt with issues, or "they didn't know how" "didn't have the "tools" to do it. In other words she felt duped, was clearly the only one who knows the proper way to fix fractures in relationships (except her first marriage), self-righteousness oozing out of her. Kody comes on to say "They" were on their best behavior when he was courting Robyn. It was obvious they had agreed on a story to make the other wives seem totally to blame. UGH!

We purchased a home in a planned subdivision to use as a rental. 4 different floor plans, but all about the same size. An original buyer had backed out, but he already put in $40K worth of upgrades that we didn't have to pay extra for, but we did add a patio in back, and shutters for all the windows. The agent for the property made an error in something, and my agent said we were inconvenienced and they needed to do something to compensate us. We got that 12K worth of shutters for free!!!

Janelle used to manage the finances. She realized that the Lehi house would not accommodate Robyn and her three kids meant making the money go further to allow for a rental away from the Lehi house. Stretching the budget even further. She also may have known that Robyn was bring with her a $38K debt from her divorce, and absolutely no assets. So what actually was she adding to the "family"?
