I agree. I didn't think Sommer was being that unreasonable. Read the room Abe...and god forbid you are so fragile that a woman refuses to shake your hand. At any time really, but especially after being removed from a fun reward for no reason. And Abe was talking over her later and just being a dick for no reason than that his little feelings were hurt.

I guess buying her a car is the VERY least he can do, but let's not make it bigger than it is. I bought a used 2019 Jeep Compass Latitude in 2020 for $18,000 in California and it only had 12,000 miles. I know prices went up a little shortly after I bought mine, but there are plenty of good used cars with miles that are definitely NOT $30k. Sorry if I sound bitchy. I don't really mean to but I find it hard to give this asshole ANY credit at all. All of these people (adults) make me so very mad.

Who can blame her? I've always thought there would be several of the kids speaking out, writing books, acting out like poor Colin. I think the ones with Kate will be older and have to distance themselves from the brainwashing and stockholm syndrome they no doubt have.

Hahaha! I love bacon in high end chocolate. If I see one anywhere, I buy it. lol

Where did he grow up?

I just started listening to their race recaps on their podcast and on one (sorry, I don't remember which), Penn mentions that his "love language" is actually physical - hugs and kisses. So whenever Kim stops to give him a hug or kiss on the race, that is her way of showing him that he is doing great and she loves him. It does seem to me like she is not as physically/verbally demonstrative so she makes sure to do this. My anxiety has gotten extreme at times over the past several years and I just shut down and need to be away from everyone. So I get it. And a lot of people do NOT understand.

Totally agree. I replied to someone on Reddit regarding all this stuff: Sorry, I'm a lot more trashy (?) on Reddit. haha I got some pretty interesting responses including one that said something like some neglect of children is to be expected to keep the peace in a marriage and another said "it's not that simple". Seems pretty simple to me. I would have left him a long time ago for how he neglected my children. Sure the wives "signed up" for this rotation, but I don't think they expected him to be a negligent, distant father to their children.

I'm dying over here! lol

No, I understand and agree with that. I was just saying he "celebrates" Hanukkah just as much as he was really "kosher". Which is to say, not at all. It's a fun thing for them, not a celebration of the actual meaning behind Hanukkah. He just wants something to do. I realize I'm not making much sense.

Honestly, they are all so weird. Hanukkah just like Kody keeps kosher. yeah, right. Weirdos. I'm glad their kids seem to be mostly cool.

I was raised LDS (aka mainstream Mormon) and I have NEVER heard of anyone celebrating Joseph Smith's birthday! That is so weird. Maybe it's an AUB(or whatever Christine was raised in) thing. We definitely follow Jesus and one of Robyn's "art" pieces is a sculpture that is in a lot of Mormon places so she definitely "follows" Joseph Smith in my opinion. Link to the sculpture: Google search of the Jesus statue common in Mormon places likes temple visitor centers, etc.

Yep, I agree. I have two on my desk and I absolutely love them. Got them at a Hallmark store too! lol But they look like my daughter, who is mixed, so it's hard to find stuff that looks like "her". And one is an angel and the other is holding a cat - again, just like my daughter. I can't imagine collecting this stuff with no personal attachment to it! And having collections of various shit all over the place!

He was in some of them. But she could be ramping up to leaving him and the RV might be part of that.

More importantly, she is a grown-ass woman who doesn't work outside the home and has a husband present most of the time. She should be more than capable of raising those 2 kids herself and doing housework, etc. And Kody should be doing 50% of both since they insist he neglects his other children and wives to stay with Robyn. Many, MANY women do way more and have more on their plate than this fake She-Ra.

Not only that but they are bred to be smaller than normal Quarter Horses so that they are more agile. I abhor breeding any animal to meet human objectives. It rarely works out well for the animal/breed. :( Between the smaller stature, unnatural movements, and repetitiveness it has to really be terrible for these horses in the long run.

Actually, I think Ysabel is one of the few family members who follows Meri on Instagram and actually "likes" her posts. I think it's probably more so that Meri has alienated Janell and Christine.

And the mall is in Scottsdale with the photo taken in the evening. Date weekend away without the kids? Hypocrites.

Say what you will about Tony (and I agree he is unfortunate looking), it really speaks to me that Christine said in one of the articles about the split that she had to ask Mykelti if it was normal for marriage to be "easy". So Mykelti and Tony seem to have a good, easygoing relationship. Or relative to Kody and Christine's I guess, which isn't a very high bar. Link to the article in US Magazine

It's funny, but I have never watched the show but not because I think it's "noble". I grew up LDS and so have some ingrained fascination with plyg cults. I heard about the show and thought maybe I'll watch it. But when I started reading about it on TWOP, the posters and conversations were just so funny that I just kept reading. Only a few times have I actually thought, "okay, this I've got to watch" about something people were talking about since everyone is so entertaining and descriptive! And each time I tried, I got about 5 minutes into the part I was trying to watch (not even the whole episode) before I was thoroughly bored and kind of disgusted, for lack of a better word, at these idiots. I just can't stand to look at them. haha If it's noble in any way, it's that I'd rather spend my tele time watching something that I enjoy or that at least has good looking people on it. None of these clowns fit those requirements.

In hindsight, it makes sense that this all started when Kody was removed from Christine's mortgage. If this is the case, I really applaud her for making sure (hopefully) she gets all the benefits of that house. I thought that it was so he could qualify with Robyn for the McMansion. That still might have been a factor. But it also might have been a factor when he and Robyn bought that too-big home on the heels of making everyone move to Flagstaff on the premise that they would move to Coyote Pass. Obviously that wasn't going to happen after he and Robyn bought their gaudy home plus a plot of land next to it. So then Christine puts the house of for sale and finds a place to rent in Utah where she stated she wanted to move last season. She then takes a farewell vacation with the only other wife she can tolerate - Janell - and also probably so that the last two minor children from the original family can spend some time together before Christine and Truley move to Utah. Then they come home and make the public announcement that she is, in fact, leaving Kody. I still think there is a tiny possibility that this is all to keep the show going, but only time will tell.

I agree. They all have wives to spare. But maybe, if she leaves the show, she might find an older LDS man whose wife has passed and children are grown. I could see her thriving in a relationship just similar enough to her religion and where she is the center of attention.

I would watch the hell out of a show like this, but only if Christine talks honestly with her family about this toxic situation (IMO) and how her feelings have changed and what she's learned/learning. I mean, they were never legally married? So there can't be an actual divorce. Why would either of them use that word? I don't think you can even have a spiritual "divorce". It would be an unsealing or something like that.

I don't think she lost any chins. She is sitting more upright and leaning forward slightly and therefore no extra chins. In the photo with Maddie, Janelle is standing a bit behind her which makes her look smaller. She may not be filtering the shit out of her photos like Meri, but she is definitely using a lot of the "tricks of the trade" that photographers use to make people look better.

This says it all. 9/10 f you feel the need to make any "announcement" at someone else's party/event that isn't about that person, you are not the greatest human being.

IT people often dress extremely casually. At least at the office's I've worked at.
