I have an autistic son who both drives and works full time, but the spectrum is SOOO broad it's hard to tell where anyone falls on the line. My thought was this: Dayton was enrolled in college full time. College isn't cheap and they were paying non-resident tuition because they hadn't been living in Arizona for more than a year when Dayton was enrolled. If Dayton is so severe he cannot hold any type of job - it doesn't make sense for him to go to college. How could he handle four years of college - not to mention the expense, if, upon graduation he is unable to hold a job anywhere. And as another person here mentioned, Dayton drove himself to the boonies and camped on his own for several days. I think he is perfectly capable of handling a job, but why would Robyn encourage him to work and be independent when SHE has people supporting her?

Aw. I wrote the snarkiest comment EVER and then went back and read this again. I like Bonnie and respect her, too. And I respect something made by hand. If Meri had announced new ball caps or face masks with the Heritage Inn embroidered across it that she purchased in bulk for cheap and was unleashing on her fans for big $$$$$ - I would have released all of my inner snark..... but.... Bonnie doesn't deserve that. Good for you, Bonnie! (But Meri - there's this thing called "Covid" - it's a pandemic - and people are struggling to keep their homes right now. It's not like everyone has all this extra money to send you for ANYTHING.)

All truth! She DOES make herself the victim and refuse to accept any responsibility!!

I knew. I was playing along, lol.

Though I don't think Robyn has the energy for even an hour of gaming. No, lol. I am talking about what Dayton does, now that he's not going to school and probably doesn't work anyway. (Although with Covid, it's pretty understandable.) Dayton probably plays computer or video games every waking hour. WHAT!! You send them an email or call them up RIGHT NOW!!! They kept people's money but didn't send the merchandise???????

All VERY valid points.... but regardless of how it might seem, these women have lived fairly sheltered lives and I would imagine all of them are a bit naive. Still.................... Although I can see Meri's side, you mention some really huge red flags. The half-faced photo (apparently the one and ONLY picture ever taken of "Sam" NEVER went with Jackie Overton's voice. The first time I heard her voice, I thought it sounded like a woman or a rather feminine man. Even if I take away the fact that I already knew Jackie was a woman pretending to be a man... the voice most definitely did NOT fit the man. Secondly, for the life of me I cannot believe anyone would be stupid enough to believe that an almost illiterate man could own his own business and be a millionaire. Jackie can barely write a single sentence that is grammatically correct and doesn't have a dozen misspelled words. Meri certainly must have exchanged texts for a number of months - wouldn't you have some red flags going off that a supposedly educated successful man writes like a second grade kid? I get Meri's vulnerability - BIG TIME!! But.... I struggle to understand certain aspects of the scenario. Last but not least: although Meri knew that Sam didn't exist by the time those two atrocious books were written, Jackie has people who actually still to this day believe that she is Sam. If you have seen a single PAGE of either of those books I ask you - how can a successful businessman own corporations and write WORSE than an elementary student? And secondly - what millionaire businessman: A.) doesn't even have the thought occur to him to hire a proofreader, B.) can't afford a proofreader? C.) Doesn't realize that he struggles with written words, syntax, context, flow, paragraphs, spellings, grammar, I could go on an on, D.) Isn't embarrassed one bit when people point out that he sounds like a blubbering idiot and that 93% of the book barely makes sense Yeah. I can understand Meri's vulnerability, but Jackie Overton literally makes me want to vomit for a dozen different reasons.

Totally agree. I think you (you meaning anyone reading this post) need to imagine for a minute that your husband of what - 20 years or more? - is no longer interested in you - but you still love him. INSTEAD.... he has a new girlfriend that he flaunts in your face and drools over and ogles, and has sex with all of the time - KNOWING that you know this. And he expects you to be NICE to this girlfriend, to treat her three kids she brought to the relationship as family, and to treat HER as family. Imagine that you only had one baby and your greatest desire was to have several children - but you couldn't conceive..... and your husband then makes babies with this new girlfriend that he favors and is always panting over. And your husband takes the family funds and pays off this woman's debts and pays all of her bills while she sleeps until noon and basically does nothing to help out the family financially. That your husband takes this woman on romantic vacations for a longer period of time than he EVER took you for a vacation! Imagine that your husband divorces you and brings this woman to the dissolution of marriage before the judge and they grin at each other in glee as you sit and cry your eyes out - and then they go into another room and get married. And imagine that SOME of this is on camera for the entire world to view. (Regardless of whether you agreed to this or not - agreeing to a vague concept is different than actually experiencing it!) Seriously. Can you not understand how it might feel to have someone interested in YOU...... YOU... not the new square-chinned girlfriend who now calls all of the shots and influences every decision even when it comes to YOU, down to what state you have to move to, friends you have to leave, etc. A man whose attention is focused on you and seems to actually care about you. While almost all of us agree that the behavior was wrong and over-the-top for a married woman, I can certainly understand how she might have been feeling at the time. And if there was the slightest chance that this "man" was real, Meri grasped at the straw.

Or what's left of them after Robyn squeezed the crap out of them to control him.

I heard the same thing. With his mother as a role model, he might sleep until 2:00 in the afternoon - go pee and eat something - and then play World of Warcraft until 3:00 in the morning. Have some Grub hub delivered somewhere during those 13 hours of straight gaming.

Slept until noon. Ate cheese puffs. Read the National Enquirer. Took a nap. Went over to a sister wife's house to see if she had cooked anything tempting to eat. Sent Meri out to get Olive Garden take-out because she didn't like the tater tot and canned corn casserole the sister wife had made. Called the credit card companies to see how much credit was left on each of Kody's cards and then did some serious online shopping. Grudgingly allowed her kids to come back home when a sister wife complained about having them underfoot all afternoon. Noticed the time and put on her make-up with a pallet knife, styled her hair, got dressed up for Kody - and then spent the evening subtly sabotaging her fellow sister wives so that Kody would be discouraged with them and increasingly under her thumb. For good measure she twisted his ball hairs tightly after sex until he screamed like a girl and promised that she is the ONLY one he will ever sleep with. Watches some trash TV she recorded and then falls sleep in order to repeat the next day.

I agree with the first part. Except I want her to make ROBYN as miserable and jealous as humanly possible. Robyn makes Robyn miserable. She doesn't need any help for that.

No doubt about it - Meri can be a real bi**h. But I don't think Kody has EVER cared about Meri's feelings. And I think that might be why she is so over-the-top touchy about FORCING her wants and opinions - over compensating to make a point. Like picking her spot on plagueland, and the wet bar, and having honking huge houses to toss her mountains of Lularot stock into. Robyn and Kody smirked and googly-eyed each other during the fake divorce proceedings for the camera while Meri cried her heart out. And by the way - WHY did Robyn even have to be in the room right then? Anyone?

Maybe they're releasing more Lizzy's Inn knickknacks that you can order online. Bookmarks, postcards, handkerchiefs, face masks with Heritage Inn embroidered across the front....

Not trying to step on any toes here.... but I just do NOT get the appeal of the 50 shades stuff. I guess maybe if you are in a safe, secure marriage, the idea might be interesting or "spicy" maybe? "Oh honey - your pain excites me sexually! Let me hurt you some more!" Yeah, I don't think he's gay at all. He definitely thinks he is gorgeous. Maybe when he was 18 someone told him his hair was his best feature, and now he can't get over it.

Yes.

Cute dog!

I hope your birthday was FANTASTIC, Suomi!! : )

It's already been a crazy year so far, and now we have all these hurricanes! I hope everyone stays dry and SAFE!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUOMI!!! What did you end up eating from Olive Garden? I hope it was delicious!!

How many kids are still at home with Janelle now?

Seriously.... I wonder where all of the left over MSWC stuff is? There has to be bins of it.

Anytime I see the word "Belly" I associate it with fat. Even if it's just a roly poly little baby belly that you blow raspberries on. If you are talking about Belly it equals fat. Pot Belly. Beer Belly. Baby Belly. Face it. If you see someone who is fit and trim and has a thin figure you don't say they have a "nice belly". To me "Joyful Belly" is one full of Dr. Pepper and some chips. Or cookies. "I just finished off a pint of Hagan Daz. I have a joyful belly". I can TOTALLY see the appeal it had for Janelle. mmm hmmm.
