I clipped these from the show, since this is what they use. This one is how the actual lots are deeded in real life. It's hard to compare since the county's records show it flipped with the pond in the lower corner and the road at the top.
This is how Kody's dream lots are. However I have always been perplexed by his Lot 1 "family" lot. How on earth will that lot have ANY actual worth when it has the whole drain ditch pond, a gas road easement and a tiny snippet of trees next to the boundary line. There are rules how close you can build next to any of these three things.
Also these shots show the flood plain that runs right next to Janelle's RV parking pad, down to the pipe into the pond and then another pipe exiting the pond. Plus the piles of dirt where I assume they have already dredged the pond for upkeep. I assume that that can possibly be used for fill...but I have no idea.

Hmmmmm I wonder if Janelle is hopping on the “grounding” bandwagon?
A bunch of reality people are into it

I don't know about "grounding" but I do know that my life is better because I put my hands in dirt, grow baby plants and pick tomatoes. Then eat them warm from the sun and sit in my greenhouse, surrounded by trees, watching the birds and drinking tea while knowing that my garden keeps me from killing people. How to turn that into a business ?

Did Christine say she went to college? I thought that's what she said in the one scene. That surprised me. I assumed she married Kody right out of high school.
Christine said she went to college...but not that she graduated. She married Kody when she was 21/22.

Robyn cries that Meri is leaving, but Robyn didn't include Meri in Easter and some comments by Meri make me think Robyn doesn't reach out to her that often. Why wasn't Meri included in Christmas #2 or Truely's birthday party, for example??
It makes you wonder. Robyn looks depressed in most of her talking heads...Kody comes off as an angry maniac. Maybe Meri wasn't invited to Easter because Kody has continued to mesh his religions and pick and choose. Maybe Easter is now some kind of Jewish passover with Joseph Smith, a touch of Brigham Young a bit from the King James Bible and a healthy dose of Anton Lavey. 😉

Well Well Robyn. If Kody can "act" with Meri...then he can "act" with you.

Kody is desperate to shut Meri down with emotional things by "walking the property" so he can just talk about all his "plans" so that he doesn't have to have any deep conversation. All part of his MO of stringing her along.

Janelle demands appraisal of Coyote Pass property
https://screenrant.com/sister-wives-janelle-demands-appraiser-coyote-pass-dispute/
There is a wee bit of me that wishes they did have a professional assessment of the actual value of the property as it is right now...and that it comes in less than they paid...

On 11/13/2023 at 8:12 PM, Meow Mix said:It was interesting hearing about Christine's childhood from her brothers. She has obviously always been a bit clueless. One of them said that when the two wives were living in the same house it was endless arguing and misery while Christine said it was one big party. I do wonder about her sometimes.
Christine has always been the biggest and loudest cheerleader for polygamy, but yet...from the beginning it has also always felt over the top and put on...fake even. Knowing more of what we know now you can understand that they all were glossing over SO much when banging the drum of "polygamy is so great...those pesky monogamists just don't get it". Her own mother stated it was hell and left. Christine has daddy issues and all too often, conversations between her a Kody have had a feel of a father/daughter talk vs husband/wife. Emotionally she seems stuck at a pre teen stage and her own daughters are more emotionally stable than she is.
Her comments about not being aware of all the problems in the house is she most likely deluded herself as a trauma response/defense mechanism. I saw something like this with a great aunt. My grandfather had a rough childhood and all of the siblings backed up that they all had it rough. Abuse, children of a violent alcoholic and extreme poverty. Yet my great aunt was the youngest and she said that her childhood was perfect. She told stories of trips to buy ice cream with her father and him buying her ribbons for her hair. There were so many fights when the other siblings would yell at her and call her a liar but she held fast about these joyous experiences with her father. I think that Christine convinced herself of this fantasy polygamist world and she was going to be a part of it, which would also bring her favor from her father. Her brother made it clear that growing up in that house wasn't "a big party". It is fascinating trying to put all these puzzle pieces together.
12 hours ago, Granny58 said:Are there any other armchair psychiatrists here? I posted earlier that I believe Kody is emotionally damaged from childhood. So my question is, is it typical that that type of damage leads to narcissism?
No idea about the narcissism...however my armchair analysis of Kody is there are very specific things in his personality. He does not in any way tolerate being mocked. He will not wear criticism and tap dances to deflect blame...even if he "owns up" to it...it's quite back handed. He thinks that everyone is out to get him, or to set him up to look stupid. He has a desperate need to look like the most learned person in the room. His recent interview with the mormon talk channel on youtube is fascinating to watch him try to use quotes from others and stumble over putting together a fluent thought that actually is his own opinion. His giggling over Joseph Smith and young girls and playing round and round with "I don't know...I wasn't there" as an excuse to not give a solid answer.
It's almost a Michael Scott kind of cringe because he doesn't seem to know how to act around other men. He is desperate to be respected but clueless to earn respect. He can't stay on subject long enough to put together a coherent thought. And he ends up looking like the simple fool that he desperately does NOT want to be.
Because of all the egg shells they all seem to have to navigate to be around him...I'm sure having gatherings without him is all the better. He is the pink elephant gorilla man who sucks the fun right out of a room.

So who met whom first and what’s the timeline on these marriages?
Janelle was hanging around Kody's Dad's ranch in her time period of "staying close with Meri's family" between her divorce with Adam and her marriage with Kody. Janelle's mother was afraid that Janelle was being converted into a cult and so she traveled to the ranch with her...then became so mesmerized by the spiritual witnesses that she fell head over heels in love with Winn and became his third wife. Not long after Janelle pulled Kody away from Meri and told him she needed to be in his family 'cause that's what God told her.
A bit of googling says that Janelle and Adam married in 1988. She says in the book that he moved out after 6 months, but googling says that they divorced in 1990. Meri and Kody were married in 1990, so they most likely started talking or courting at the end of 1989. Janelle was mainstream LDS and Adam converted to mainstream for them to marry. I believe it was a temple marriage as well. Janelle married Kody in 1993. Christine married Kody in 1994 and Logan was born 2 months after that.
...just because...adding that the first 8 kids were born between May 1994(Logan) and October 1998(Garrison). Then a full 3 years before Gabe and Gwen were born, both in October 2001.

On the subject of Truely and the bike lesson. I wonder if she does not have good spatial awareness. Christine mentioned long ago that she prefers to be alone in a large family and how she was worried about her. Truely doesn't seem like the other rough and tumble Brown kids and we very often see her with a book (which is great to see!) .
I grew up navigating my world with difficulty judging distance and I can only see clearly about 3 inches from my nose. I most likely needed glasses very very young but found ways to navigate and I wasn't found out until 4th grade. However, I grew up outside. In the woods, hiking, on a bike, on a horse, climbing trees. Yet inside, I often ran into doorways and walls because I couldn't judge the distance. Glass table tops with no solid frame are a nightmare to me, I just can't see them.
When the bike even moves under her she has such a strong reaction...it makes me wonder if she has trouble even being aware of what she can do. When she said that she wished she would have learned when she was 5 years old I wonder why she didn't. She would have been in the cul de sac then, with the big round pavement. I wonder if she was encourage to not do anything overly physical after her hospital stay.

What in the world kootie ? Saying If the kids had lived in different houses and brought up as cousins it would have been better ?
That sounds like Robyn talking. Since her kids were raised separate that must have been the best way because she is obviously the best wife...loyal and all.
Kody has always said one of his "contractual agreements" with the wives is that they agree to raise the kids together as siblings.

Aspyn did her very best to raise Christine.

Just now, Ms.Lulu said:Kody wants the attention, so he did he best to take over the screen.
But. Nobody. Cares.
I think from the very beginning that Kody thought that he was the star of the show and the wives were just supporting characters.

I read the article and I wish people would type "divorce" instead of divorce, because Janelle and Christine were never "married."
I do get this, however if we are to try to see their perspective, then we should use their language. I am of the mindset that a marriage is what you put into the relationship. The marriage is every day, thick and thin etc. Because a marriage has certain legal rights to it, it brings legal paperwork. Without the legal paperwork the actual marriage is still the every day ebb and flow. For many people it is also a mindset that a non legally bound couple can just easily walk away one day. These days even non legally bound couples often have pets, children, homes, cars and finances that are shared and untying those bounds can be just as difficult without the legal certificate.
I don't know if they would use different language if they were just speaking to people of their community. Maybe "unsealed" is what they would call it then, and they just use "divorce" since that is what the rest of the world calls it.
From the beginning they did try to snow us all by saying they had "four equal but separate marriages", but now they have confessed that wasn't true, even back then. None of these women were ever truly equal.

This video popped up on Facebook feed today. Has anyone else seen it?:
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/2MXUp4PmeaDRf8Yp/?mibextid=D5vuiz
It's a head scratcher on all levels.
I mean...none of that made any sense at all. Kody and Robyn looking at each other and smiling and apologizing for being late with a cameo to say...what ?
And even when Robyn does seem to be smiling authentically...her mouth is turned down.
However...it's October of 2023 right now. The show is lost somewhere between April and July of 2022 and he mentioned that they "filmed a sweet scene together today". There ya go...content for 2025 in the bag.

So many comments about Meri not filming with Leon. I SWEAR I read somewhere that Kodouche was disgusted by Leon’s transition. Twice.
Yet everyone is saying that Meri should have filmed with them.
Am I nuts? Did anyone else see that?I think a lot of people forget that Leon can choose not to be filmed for the family business. My guess is that they have chosen to possibly not even be mentioned on the show.
But yes...I have seen that Kody is not supportive, however nothing solid to back it up.

It's a vicious circle, where Kody beats his chest and says that he's going to shun his kids because he thinks their moms "trash talk" him to their kids. The kids vent to their moms about the treatment from their dad. The moms side with their kids, which they wouldn't have to do if only Kody would deflate his monstrous ego and spend time with his kids, but he won't, lather rinse repeat. And the kids are stuck in the middle. If their dad showed them a modicum of affection, it would likely be enough for them to change their opinion about him, since many of them are used to so little. But Kody won't even do that because he thinks that all they do is sit around belittling him. We did see them at Salad Bar Night doing exactly that, but my guess is they don't do that nearly as often as Kody thinks they do. They are learning to live without him, which is the healthiest thing they can do. Meanwhile, Kody thinks he still has the power over them of relinquishing his affection. It's really disgusting and emotionally abusive.
I have this visual of Kody in my head with his 9 year old little boy personality. He gets pissy and yells that "you aren't playing MY game MY way (even tho I change the rules everyday) and so I am going to take my bat and my ball and go home!!"
Then the added visual of Kody with his curly gurly hair toss as he flounces away to his big boy truck with no soccer moms in sight.
Meanwhile everyone else just turns and carries on with their life.
