I've been wondering the same thing. OR, if she'll move with them! I can hear it already - "Nancy is so great, she is so selfless that she relocated to Flagstaff so she could continue gouging helping us." They are a sweet deal for Nancy. Get paid to be on TV, and have a whole giant family of clients who are guaranteed to have tons of issues and never get better!

Thanks, I couldn't quite remember who said it. Well, Janelle would know about introverts! But she was apparently way off about Bonnie. Yep...the shared child care stuff is bull. I think Christine used to genuinely enjoy taking care of Janelle's kids while Janelle worked - that may have been a set up that really did work for the two of them. But Meri? No way. I think she was scheming from day one to get more for her kid, and resented Janelle's and Christine's kids. And I've never seen Robyn really trust her sister wives enough to leave her kids with them for very long. She has her niece as a live-in nanny, for pete's sake, so quit trying to sell us a bill of goods on how you're all moms to all of the kids. Meri's not even playing along with that bull crap story anymore. She flat out stated that she's not there to "babysit" anyone else's kids. If she really gave a crap about the kids, she wouldn't think of it as "babysitting". At least I wouldn't put it that way, if I was getting to spend time with any kid I am crazy about. You are so right...any show Meri makes of liking a certain child, it's bull crap...she has a motive. If the child is of no use to her, then she's all "I'm not here to babysit your kids". Also...just because I happened to think of it just now...I think she really enjoys traveling to sell her LuLaNo garbage, and when she includes her #BecauseICan hashtag on her trips to sell that crap, I think that is partly a passive-aggressive message to her sister wives. You guys have to sit there and take care of your kids, but I'm traveling around the country, because I can....and there's nothing you can do about it. Straight-up bitch is right, that's our Meri!

I make up for splurges on more expensive products by mixing in things I can find on the cheap that work. My retinol night product is not cheap (I can't really comment on how effective it is...I'm 45 and have almost nothing in the way of wrinkles, so I don't know if it's a miracle worker, or if I'd have no lines even if I wasn't using it) and my moisturizer is on the expensive side as well (The Water Cream by Tatcha). Love my Tatcha, it's expensive but a little goes a long way. My skin is quite sensitive and sometimes reacts badly to other moisturizers, so I'm willing to pay for it. (My Mom's skin wasn't as sensitive, she used Oil of Olay her whole life and looked great! Wish my skin didn't react badly to it. Love the "Oil of Old Lady" name, @AZChristian!) With not much room left in the budget, everything else is pretty reasonable. Rather than an expensive serum, I use plain old Hyaluronic Acid by Asterwood Naturals. When I have some redness or irritation, I have a little White Tea & Cucumber spritz from Astrida Naturals that calms my skin down nicely. I believe I got both of these products from Amazon. My other splurges are body products, and are Josie Maran...her sugar scrub, and body butter. Not cheap, but my arms and legs get SO dry, especially in the winter, that I really need something extremely hydrating (and some exfoliation, thus the sugar scrub). Josie's line is all about argan oil. Which could be a complete hoax, all I know is it works for me. Tried sugar scrubs from Bath & Body works, they didn't rinse off nicely and since they come in a tube, you can't get out the last 25% of the product! Josie's sugar scrub and body butters come in tubs so I can get every last bit. (My parents always cut the bottoms off the lotion bottle to get the last bits! We can't help it, we're Dutch!) Bath & Body works body lotions also just didn't work as well for me. It could also be that Josie Maran products do better for my sensitive skin because a lot of them are unscented...although I used her lightly scented Winter Gardenia body butter and was fine with it. Since I am always sporting what I call "the Arctic tan", I tried Josie's body butter that also adds a little color...HUGE mistake, I was orange and immediately jumped back in the shower to scrub the horrific crap off. Then I posted an online review to warn others and saw reviews from some who didn't scrub it off immediately had it ruin their sheets and clothing! I'm never going to fake bake or lay in the sun again, and unless someone here has a self-tanner that actually works and isn't gross, I'm never doing that again either. Given everyone's remarks about how orange Meri is, I'm guessing none of you will recommend a self tanner to me. :-) There's absolutely nothing wrong with pale white skin, I don't know how we became a culture that is desperate to change it, as I was for years. Just like there is nothing wrong with beautiful, natural dark skin. When I see gorgeous women of Indian descent, Native American descent, etc, I kind of hate my pale fish belly coloring. I think we just want what we don't have! But they are gorgeous because it's their natural color. Even if I could get that color from a self-tanner, I probably couldn't pull it off. Fake tans usually look exactly like what they are - fake. I need to just accept that I am a Scandanavian-Dutch-English mutt, and deal with it! :-) Looking at Meri probably helps me more than anything else! Ugh. That awful orange-ness...how can she think it looks good?

Christine once said on the show that Ysabel loved Meri so much and was so like her that she thought there was some cosmic mix-up and Ysabel was accidentally placed on her pile, but was really always meant to be Meri's child. She's WAY off. Ysabel seems to be a thoughtful, mature young lady with some admirable qualities. Mykelti's a an entitled, selfish brat who thinks she's way cuter than she really is, and treats others like crap. SHE is definitely the one who is Meri's "cosmic kid". LOL at all your "stelletosandblazers"! Mine are a fleece jacket and slippers.

You're on to something there. Kody was really enthusiastic about Mona, I think he smelled a money making venture there, and got Christine and Janelle to get their realtor's license. (I had a fantastic typo in that sentence originally...I wrote "monkey making venture", HA!!!! Monkey making venture is actually much more accurate!) And this Strive thing...it has Kody's stink all over it. "Let's screw people out of a monthly subscription for basically nothing, all you'll have to do is write some blog crap once in awhile!" screams Kody. Janelle is doing what Janelle always does...plod along, doing as she's told, no matter how inept she is at it. Meanwhile, Kody doesn't even have a bullshit job! Janelle's Strive, Christine and Meri's LulaNo, Robyn's "closet"...they're all dumb and barely a job, but Kody does even less than that! Get on Instagram and shill some crap like you're making your wives do, Kody! He's the laziest of the lazy.

Doesn't Robyn have time to do her online shopping while her sisterwives are taking their turn watching her kids? Because that's one of the big perks of their lifestyle, right, all the moms raising all the kids? Oh right, that's just crap and lies for tv to try to sell polygamy to us. The truth is they are a bunch of single moms. I bet a group of 4 single moms who are all friends and live near each other do WAY more things together than these four. They could probably even ride in a car together if they were going out to lunch. Or to a therapy session with Nancy! (It nearly makes me double over with laughter every time they show Janelle and Meri arriving separately for a therapy session. Can't even ride in a car together! You need therapy alright, but not from Nancy!)

Damage control for the flak they're getting about their disgusting lies about emotional support animals. Have to say, I love little Mosby though. If my two dogs had a puppy, it would look just like Mosby! I hope they treat their pets well, while they are using them to scam airlines. Jerks.

Thanks! And I appreciated your first-hand account of staying at the B&B! I was under the assumption that it was going to be an epic fail, mostly because one of the wives (Christine, I think?) said Bonnie didn't have the personality for it. From your account, it seems she absolutely DOES have the personality for it! If it was Christine that said it though, I really can't blame her...Meri said Christine's mom Annie could run the B&B, then yanked it out from under her. Annie & Meri even visited the B&B together. If that's how it all really went down, that was underhanded and mean of Meri. If that wasn't just made-up drama for the show, that was yet another knife to the back of a sister wife. I feel like I have to add a big IF to every thought I have about these people, because their show is so disingenuous! In the very first episode, they go on and on about how all the Moms raise all the kids, etc. They show the kids happily running up the stairs to hang out in Meri's area of the Lehi home. Then you read their book and find out that before the show even started, Christine was already not allowing Meri to be alone with her children, because Meri was so hard on them. Then later, after they had their homes in Vegas built, Meri decorates a room and Ysabel and one of Robyn's daughters pack suitcases and go spend time in "their" room at Meri's house. That is obviously baloney. Christine went from not wanting Meri to be alone with her kids, to sending Ysabel to spend the night? I don't buy it.

That was too cute. Double cute that he wanted to say it in Chinese...I wanted to yell "Ni hao!" at my TV and wave back! I am the goofball who will wave and say hi a million times to any smiling, happy kid who wants to say hi to me. :-) I will spend my whole time in a restaurant waving and smiling to some cutie across the room who wants to be friendly! I'm also the jerk who will ask the server to move me to another table if crummy parents allow their kid to be loud and annoying and don't even attempt to correct it. I will also stop and tell parents that their children were a joy to sit by as I'm leaving a restaurant. Good parenting takes effort, and I think they deserve a compliment for it.

Hi @AZChristian, when I said I grew up there, loved it, etc, I was referring to the previous paragraph I'd written...about how I was selling my parents' house. And how it was impractical for me to keep it (even though I wouldn't have actually even needed to borrow money!) and how it reminded me of Meri. Sometimes just because you want something doesn't mean you HAVE to have it. My siblings and I were all sad, we all loved it, but I said to them, it was on the market 13 months. How many times did we go over there to visit it...not for upkeep, which was a pain, but JUST to visit it and BE in the house because we loved it? Never. Not once. Because Mom and Dad are not there. The people you loved are not in a material object, they are within yourself. Meri, IMO, has a giant hole of unhappiness inside herself, and she tries to fill it up with material things, trips, etc. That never works. She thinks "If I can just have that house in Parowan, I'll be happy". No, you won't, Meri. You thought if you could just have a wet bar, you'd be happy. She needs to do some work with a serious therapist (NOT Nancy) because she has a half million dollar home, a $300K B&B, etc, and she is STILL not happy. All the trips to Disneyland and her LuLaNo friends aren't making her happy either. No house ever built has ever made an unhappy person into a happy one. Last year we did a late Christmas in January...met up at a central location, a hotel in Kansas City. The breakfast lady came over to us and said "I just had to come tell you, it's so wonderful to see a group of family like you all laughing and having such a good time together! It just warms my heart!" My parents are gone, but they were more "present" in that hotel in KC that they'd never been to than they are in that house. Because all of their descendants were there, and loving each other, and enjoying each other. I was married to a person who thought if he could just have this ONE more material thing, he'd be happy. They are a black hole of unhappiness...not only will all the material things in the world never be enough, they'll suck YOU into their vortex and make you unhappy, too. It's no surprise to me that the rest of the wives & Kody have finally tired of Meri, and avoid her. People like that suck all the joy out of your life, and you feel great when you get away from them. Their neediness and their constant "I want I want I want" is just too much.

That's kinda my thing with it too, @lma. It's not just going on a board like this, it's going out to the whole world and they're posting them for business reasons...get your shit straight. The crap you're selling is cheap and ugly, you need all the help you can get! And Christine...I haven't seen her post an outfit pic yet. Plenty of time for car confessions, but don't have time to shill for the fugly family clothing biz? She better get on it, because the LLR ship is going down fast.

Yep, wine calories don't count. We must all stay sane, after all. For me it's wines that any true wine lover would scoff at - I tend to go for cheap stuff with screw off caps! It has to not really taste much like alcohol...basically sweet and fruity is what I like. Almost just a glorified fruit juice, hee. One time I bought a bottle of wine solely for the name. When I finished paying off all the debt my ex-husband ran up on my credit cards (some of it dating websites, no less...talk about your polygamy! On my credit cards....what a peach of a guy. Kicked his ass to the curb so fast it made his head spin.) I enjoyed a bottle of Fat Bastard!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And it was, because of the circumstances, the sweetest bottle of wine I've ever enjoyed. Saw a great wine for Meri while I was shopping for it, too...Royal Bitch. I'm guessing it pairs well with catfish. Call it a hunch.

Nice hashtag. Baby its cold putside! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's also not stelletos. 🤣🤣🤣 From now on run your posts past one of your sisters who stayed in school, because you can't spell, dear. Putside is a typo, obviously, but Mykelti's always good a few laughs with her spellingks. She is without question the least attractive of Christine's kids. And she stands there like a big old lumberjack in her "dress" if you can call it that. Sorry hun, you are not "rockin" your Carly. Too bad she got her dad's beady eyes. Hard to believe Aspyn is her sister, she's so pretty.

Is posting pics and videos of yourself on SM in your underwear (or even less) a disease of some kind? Because it seems like anyone who gets too close to Twit is catching it. I'm not big into SM but I do check my Facebook once in awhile, and out of all the weirdos I've accepted friend requests from (not really wanting to but thinking oh geez, if I don't I'll look like a huge asshole), not ONE person has ever posted pics of themselves in their underwear, a sheet, their bra...not even close. And I know some fucked up people, so that's saying something!

I'd sign a petition for this. :-) I've seen toddlers who know how to behave around animals better than Twit. She always has to grab the pet and shove her face right in the animal's face. Gotta smell that breath, you know. You especially don't need to be shoving your face in there when it's not even your pet. I wish she'd meet up with my cat. If she grabbed him, flipped him over on his back, holding him by the scruff of the neck like she does with her poor cats, so she can get her cat breath fix, my boy would claw and bite the shit out of her, and she'd have it coming to her! God, she is such a clueless, immature jackass. Her behavior with animals is disturbingly similar to the way she forces people into showing "affection" for her. Guess what Idiot, if you had to sit on someone and force them to hug you, it's not real affection. They didn't really WANT to do it. I'd like to see someone that she finds disgusting sit on her and force themselves on her the way she does with other people.

I agree, on many shows the people are just so damn boring they HAVE to send them on a trip just to have something to talk about and film. It has made me dislike trip episodes. This episode was a refreshing break form all of that. Couldn't agree more. I really enjoy them. They handle the situation so well...I'd be eye-rolling and shooting some stink-eye towards Wifey's (love your name for her!) antics. I aspire to be someday be able to show the same class & grace that Bill's mother does. If I was offered a trip with my ex, I'd probably say "Shove your trip where the sun don't shine, no trip is worth having to be around that putz." But I don't share children with my ex, so it'll never happen, YAY! :-) For me, Wifey is the most annoying person on this show, but she's still better than most of the people on TLC's other reality shows! 🤣 The ones I watch, anyway.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Love this description of her! My mom always wanted me to watch the Pioneer Screwball with her, and I watched a few times and then told Mom, sorry I can't watch this show anymore...I want to punch this woman.

I agree most TLC folks couldn't afford the trips (looking at you, Brown family from Sister Wives...and I end up wanting to throat-punch Kody because he's always got to be a jerk). I don't watch Outdaughtered so I know squat about that show...but as to the Hawaii trip on MBFFL...I know they said that, but I really, really doubt Whitney's dad paid for that whole trip. They took a lot of hangers-on on that trip, I think TLC paid for some of it. I never watched Kate but I remember hearing that she commented on the trips. It's also possible Bill & Jen paid for some of the things on this trip, and TLC paid for other parts. Doesn't matter much to me...if I was in charge of the TLC trip budget, I'd take away Whitney's and the Brown's entire trip budget and give it all to the Klein's. Because they don't make me stabby. ;-)

Me too, but somebody said that on Facebook and got attacked like you wouldn't believe. People were INSISTING that TLC paid for NOTHING and this was all on their own dime. I don't get that...it's pretty common knowledge that all TLC shows do trips and pay for them...why do some people on FB get so upset at the suggestion that TLC paid for the trip? And like you say, why wouldn't Bill & Jen take that opportunity? There's nothing wrong with that. Frankly, TLC has paid to send a lot of jackasses on other shows on trips that were boring and stupid. At least this trip had a point, as Will was born in China, and it was enjoyable for the viewer IMO, both from the standpoint of learning some cultural things and watching a family that isn't bickering constantly.

I don't remember Judy saying it, but I think Jen has said she goes mostly vegetarian, perhaps not totally...I'm not totally sure either though. Someone else here can probably help us out. :-) As far as Judy's aversion to the chicken feet at the market...I recall Judy being pretty easily grossed out by a lot of things. She and Bill went to a pet expo on one episode, and someone was demonstrating a doggy poo poo picker-upper and Judy was creeped out by the take dog poo they were using! Ha ha ha, fake dog poo got to her, yet she has dogs of her own, and also a horse! She has a low threshold for gross things. Some people just do! :-) My mom was the same way...and my siblings and I learned to make the most of it. Grossing out mom was the family sport. Ha ha, yes that slayed me. "Ew, there's a LEAF on it!" says Will, and then Bill's reaction...hilarious. Those chicken feet were HUGE, nothing like what I see in the stores here.

I agree, I find him (and his wife) a bit irritating. I think his statements about Will were totally heart-felt though, and I teared up! But I think he likes like lime light and I prefer Bill's mom and her husband. Bill's step-dad's statement about Barbara's kids and grandkids filling a void in his life was sweet, and I think Bill's mom loves those kids like crazy but she doesn't have to be shoving her way closest to the camera like Bill's step-mom.

I definitely understand your concerns - however I think Bill & Jen have found a lot of opportunities for both children to experience things from their cultures at home. Will was in karate and went to a Lion Dancing event, and Zoey has tried some Indian dance classes & Bill's made some Indian recipes at home. Still, there's nothing like experiencing the culture first-hand, so it's great they'll be able to go to visit both countries.

Ugh, I remember that incident. Twit and her barnacles need to grow the hell up. Getting hammered or high (or both) and taking your clothes off and singing in a closet screams "I'm 18, I just got to college and have escaped my parents rules, whee!!!" But these were people in their 30's. By the time I was 32 I'd gone through a really ugly, bitter divorce and I had a career and a mortgage to worry about, and a bunch of debt to pay off because of my stupid ex. And none of my friends would have been up for something like that either. Twit never grew up and she somehow found a group of barnacles that need to grow the hell up, too.

Except wine. Wine does God's work. ;-P No seriously though, you're right and a real health coach would know that. Health coach seems like a weird title to me. It kind of says "I didn't cut it as a nutritionist, or a certified personal trainer, or a Zumba instructor...so I'm gonna blog about putting shit in your coffee and call it being a health coach."

Jen's mom having to go back to the hotel after seeing the chicken feet is hysterical! Reminds me of my mom. Chicken feet must be popular in quite a few cultures...my brother had chicken feet soup in some country (he was in the military...I lose track of how many countries he's been to, but it wasn't China)...and a few towns over, the grocery store started carrying chicken feet due an increase in people of Mexican descent. I'd call my mom over "Come here, look at this" and then I'd spring a package of chicken feet on her! After awhile she wouldn't walk through the meat dept with me anymore. I'd be yelling Mom, come back, and she'd tell people "I don't know her, she's not my daughter." No sense of humor about the chicken feet! (They weren't "pedicured", enjoyed Bill's description of that...there's something a little extra gross about the little tootsies with the toenails still on them!) If my mom were still alive, she'd have Judy's back on this one. :-) I probably would've tried them but I don't really blame anyone for excusing themselves.
