I don't think there is a difference? I like Christine, but I don't think she's the sharpest crayon in the box.

I keep seeing this thrown around as the cure for this problem. She had a newborn, taking on the responsibilities of a teen is a lot of pressure. I don't agree with this move at all, but I am glad Maddie didn't take on this job. Caleb taking a job in NC has nothing to do with this. He may have just had a great opportunity and jumped on it. Home Depot is a great place to work, they have lots of opportunity for growth.

Kids can attend college even with special needs. They may need more support, but they can attend if they want to.

Sorry if this has been brought up before. I was poking around on Strive with Janelle website and this is being offered. An affordable activity tracker, I can get with that. Except it is on the wrist upside down, has zero description of what it tracks or if there is an app that it comes with. This is not great marketing for a product that admittedly I'd pay for, because I am cheap AF. Make me want this product.

The thing about her McMansion is that it was built in a development. There are rules about a house size being built. It would have looked very odd to have 3 houses that were big and a tiny house at the end of the cul de sac. If that is where they decided to live, they had to go with the rules. Whether or not they made a sound decision building there is another conversation.

Plus they have family we don't know about. They were getting ready for Thanksgiving in one episode and had 70 people. So 30 of them are local Browns, that is still a lot of people who might need a place to stay. I'm not of the mind they need a McMansion but they don't need to dig a whole in a cave and make everyone live there.

Me too. I've married a few people. I guess I'll be signing up to be a health coach next. You can say you posted with me before I was rich. 😂

I agree completely. I don't think this family is about compromise, it is about Kody and now Robyn.

I think the whole thing is shitty. I would have stayed if it were me. I realize after 20 years, they have just given up their free will. This show used to be a mildly amusing look into a different lifestyle. Now it is about King Kody and I don't know how much longer I can stay on that train.

I think it is a long reach to go from "she worked so she must be ok with them living 5 hours away for 2 years". I can't get onboard with that kind of dismissiveness about a working mom.

Isn't this the benefit of sister wives? Someone has to work. Sorry, I get prickly when people say women aren't raising their kids because they go to work. The kids were home with their other mom, not a drug dealer on the street hustling them.

I can't imagine having a newborn, the hormonal tidal wave that comes with that and watching a new wife in the mix. No thank you please.

Exactly. Hanna was being gracious and they showed their ass. There is plenty of conflict without this behavior. They were haughty because she chose to walk away from their lifestyle. The religion encourages that thought because they remain faithful and she is the outcast. I wish they could see 98.999% of the population were standing up and applauding her for living her best life?

In my experience, most parole violations aren't because someone knocks off a bank. It's because of things like this. Parole really is a set up to fail system.

I get what you are saying, boring tv sucks. This was not someone that they were just buying a hat from. This will be someone that will interact after the kids get married. Not setting up a good relationship there with mocking her lifestyle, her hats and just being snotty overall. It was just bad manners all the way around from them. How hard is it to be gracious to someone that is going to be part of your family? Hanna lived a different lifestyle then them, even rejecting their lifestyle all together. Instead of being happy she found her way in life, they had to knock it down to their level of thinking.

This is very very true. I think she'd be like this in anything she was interested in. Vegan? Best most vegan ever. Runner? Only runs ultra runs. But she is in polygamy so she has to make that her prize. Sit down Robyn, nobody can see around your chin.

I don't stand up for Robyn very often, but I saw her as a mother who had been through it with a son that was born with difference. Kody was so dismissive of it. I have a child with special needs and that is how I vet anyone that comes into our lives. The only thing I will say is that religious brainwashing can really do a number on a person. She needed a lifeline and saw that in Kody (for whatever reason).

Robyn talked about the drs appointments and his diagnosis process when he came into the family.

I love the internet, because I learn of things like this. Thanks for sharing!

He was diagnosed before he came into the family. Kody and Robyn were on the couch and Kody was like "he's doesn't have Aspergers, he's just quirky". Robyn tried saying they had went to drs and had the testing but Kody just talked over her till she shut up about it. Godforbid a human doesn't fit into the perfect vision of what Kody sees for humanity.

They seem to get along when not around Kody. They don't have to appease him or bow down to him. I think they'd at least be friends if it weren't for him. He is an emotional vampire that sucks the life out of the room. Even when they are on the couch with him, they interact differently with each other.

His arrested development only becomes more apparent over the years. He is stunted and keeps his wives shifting so he doesn't have to grow up. One side benefit to all the moving, they never really have to discuss their relationship problems. Between finding the homes, packing unpacking, nobody has time to dig deep into the real issues.

Her hat looked great on her. She seemed like a lovely person but the sweater/bra combo was distracting. Christine looks rough this episode to me.

I tuned in late and his talking and head and Perm where looking straight at me.

I think this everytime I watch this show. How are any of them better because of this lifestyle?
