    Wow.  While I was in grad school there would be no way I could've paid out this kind of moolah for pancakes.  Neither could most of my classmates. Now, I did get a Starbucks on occasion, but that was a treat from my wonderful DH. He knows how I  love chocolate raspberry mocha lattes. He's such a sweetie.😍

    think that these two might be out of order, though who knows for sure with all their subterfuge.  Kody's 6th grade presentation I thought was in March because they had 3 months til the weddingk.  May could be right for the birthday trip because Sludge & Pudge had arrived to spend summer in the cult-de-sac.

    And as a resident of the PNW I must protest that both Eugene and Couer d'Alene would bring the Brownies too close.  I'd need to put up some walls to fill safe. 🙂

    Sorry 'bout that!  Look, I understand and emphasize with your pain, but I'm trying to keep them Brownies as far away from the South as possible.  We southerners already have more than our fair share of cray-cray down heah! Why, it runs like a river down the streets and through our neighborhoods.  Sheesh, we even put our folks out on the front porch to air out, and to wave at the passersby.  That's the real reason why we all have those large, wraparound porches.  😜😒🤪

    Close?  I think you are bang-on Laurakaye.  I am astounded that consideration was not given to any other state or city. 

    If they had wanted a change of climate, real trees and real mountains, why not put the beautiful State of Oregon on the table?  My personal choice would have been Eugene, 4 or more University/Colleges, located on an interstate highway and easy access to the Pacific Ocean.

    You nailed it.  If trees be what you be needin (said in a Pirate accent!) then my personal choice would be ANYWHERE between Couer D'Ailene (sp?) and the border of western Montana. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the smell!  It SMELLS like a Christmas candle with all of those pines.  That area is God's country, for realz.

    I been through Flagstaff several times, and the parts with the pines are quite pretty, but the rest is about par for the course for the area.  The desert is pretty in of iteself, but if your interest is trees, why move there?

    Good for her, ugly and unflattering as that brand is (and as much as I dislike her). She's the one wife who actually has successful businesses and did what she set out to do. Yeah, the B&B came with a temper tantrum from Meri but she still got it done. She's going to be set once the show is over. 

    Agreed.  For years vast numbers of posters in various boards I've read and dabbled in have invested much of their energy in "advising" Meri to get a job, get a real man, get a life!  Lularoe wouldn't have been my first choice for Meri, nor running a charming but rather outdated BnB. Her personality is much too brusque for face-to-face customer interactions.

    However, I have to give her credit for the reasons you've stated. I dislike her also, (not as much as I LOATHE Robyn) but still I find myself wishing her the best of luck with her businesses. It takes courage to break out of one's comfort zone, and she did it, twice.

    Yes, that is certainly possible.  But it's not the story Robyn is telling.  According to Robyn, Dayton didn't apply to NAU until AFTER he knew Flagstaff was possibly on the table.  Kody didn't give his "let's move to Utah" TED talk until March, so just when was  Flagstaff put possibly on the table?

    ETA: on the episode thread there is mention of Robyn saying on Twitter that Dayton applied "in the nick of time" after the decision to move to Flagstaff.  I'm not on Twitter and can't confirm this, but perhaps another poster can.

    I believe that Robyn possibly let the cat out of the bag in her very last sentence. Possibly. However, Cootie went from running furiously hot for running for office in Utah to....Flagstaff....with no stops in between? Possibly.  But my guess is Robyn's glaring qualifier is to cover up her Victoria's Secret-esqe strides in this rat race.

    Sorry for the funky post. Technical difficulties.  🙄

    I want to start by saying I love our conversations!  That we can discuss things without getting upset, to try to see each other's viewpoints!!  This applies to all of us "adults" on this board!  You don't see that everywhere online!

    I am missing your point with that last paragraph, though.  Robyn put her foot down and stayed in Vegas until Dayton was out of high school... and then Robyn wants to move to be closer to where Dayton is going to college.  We didn't see Janelle put her foot down at all on camera, it's possible she TRIED off-camera, but didn't get anywhere.    I'm not faulting Janelle as others have because I have been in a marriage like that and if you aren't the loudest and most demanding squeaky wheel you aren't getting any oil.   Janelle aint it.

    Why is Robyn's stamping foot (down) the one that always matters in this family?  She kept HER son in high school without moving and that's all good and dandy - but no OTHER wive's children get to be kept in high school until they are through?  There were colleges close by that Dalton could have attended and then gone on to NAU in a couple of years.  

    I DO hear what others are saying and I am kind of stuck on this, so we may just have to agree to disagree! lol

    One episode during the season when Maddie and Caleb were moving back in with Janelle both cody and janelle were having a discussion about putting up a door upstairs to create a more private space for the new-formed family.  It was during this discussion when I saw how cody spoke to janelle and how janelle quietly and quickly acquiesced to his wishes that I realized how much of a jacka$$ cody truly was (is.) I felt so embarrassed for Janelle...she didn't deserve that.

    We really don't know how the conversations went and how the final decisions were made. Call me naive, but I just don't see it as a case of Robyn stamping her feet and demanding that the whole brood move because that's what she and Dayton want and screw the rest of you losers.

    LOL, agreed, for that would be far too crass (and obvious) of an approach for stealth Robyn. My gut hunch? The Flagstaff choice has Robyn's stank all over it.

    For me, it's not a question of whether Dayton is likable. I don't know if he's been professionally diagnosed, but assuming he has been, I'm not going to get on a parent's case for trying to do what they feel is best for their child. My cousin has two autistic children, one milder and one severe - I don't know how she has coped. I'm saying straight out, I couldn't do it. Being a parent is challenging enough on its own - I am not going to sit here and judge someone who is trying to do what's right for a child with special needs. I can't even imagine the stress and worry they must go through.

    I know it's not that simple, and there are many more people involved, but for argument's sake, let's say we boil this down to Dayton vs Gabe. Dayton needs more attention and care, while Gabe is Mr. Popularity, friends with the entire school, people apparently throwing money at him, captain of this and that - who's going to have a rougher time adjusting to new surroundings? 

    People are saying Janelle should be "advocating" for Gabe - well, Robyn is advocating for Dayton.

    ETA: I posted before I finished the thread, and I see now that he has been professionally diagnosed.

    The way I see it is that although Dayton is a highly functioning person with Aspergers, (I think that's correct) that does not mean that his needs, his wants, and his future goals take priority over Gabe's, much less all of the other Brown children still in school.  Indeed, Gabe may be an average teenager who can handle stress more effectively than Dayton,  but he also has feelings, aspirations, strengths, and weaknesses that were outright made mocked, (looking at you, Cody) and then sumarily dismissed.  That was not right, not by a long shot.

    If Dayton had some sort of life-threatening illness, or if he tested low on the spectrum and required almost constant care then I could understand Robyn's crappy B.S. and cut her some slack. However, Robyn wanted to create for Dayton a very soft landing, and while there were a plethora of ways to accomplish her goal, she blew them all off.

    Doing one's best by your kids is one thing and it is to be applauded.  Raising one kid up so high above another in the way Robyn did not only to Gabe, but to the rest of the Brown children is another, and she should be called out on it.

    If he can travel on his own through various states, as he said, he can go to college alone.  SIR's are due by May 1.  He applied for that school LONG before May.  Gabe and all the others were sacrificed for Dayton.  We have a lot of kids with various disabilities at my school and their parents don't live here and they use the built in school support system.  Robyn is doing him no favors.  The only student I knew whose parent moved here with their kid was under the age of 16 and graduated before he was 18.

    I had no idea that Dayton was/is able to travel on his own!  Thanks for the info.

    Agreed re Dayton's college application timeline, as the application process takes time. When I returned to college in 2011, I was told that my FAFSA? (it's been a minute!) had to be submitted by April 1st, but the sooner it was submitted the better my aid package offering would be. Money is doled out on a  first come, first served basis.  So, I ensured that I submitted mine the first week in January, and I never had any problems.  Actually, my financial aid advisor was OUTSTANDING, and I'm still thankful for all of her help.

    Granted, I didn't have any complications - mine was pretty straightforward, and others will have different experiences. Now, Dayton may have alternative deadlines due to his autism, I don't  know. However, students found out after their first time filing to not play around with that FAFSA.  😁

    I laugh at how they hasthtagged sisterwives like that's going to lure Las Vegans to run out and buy those giant jalopies! There are so many celebrities that live here that are more popular then the Brown Clowns and noone cares about them either! People see Gladys Knight at the grocery store and don't bat an eye. It's the "norm" here.  

    Hehehe, perhaps a new thread could be started called, "Grifting Is Only a Hashtag Away," where we could list the really cray-cray ones.  Anyway, have a good day!

    The thought process of an autistic person is different than you or me.  They don't have it in them to work someone to their advantage.  At least all of the autistic people I know.

    I see.  Do you recall if Robyn has stated that Dayton has been professionally diagnosed, and thus knows where he is at on the spectrum?  

    Moreover, Dayton (at his level) can understand "nuance" enough to participate in and turn-in college-level work, but not understand nuance enough to know how to manipulate his mother and others to get his way? I'm  not being difficult, but to me there seems to be a disconnect here, and I'm trying to figure it out. 🙂

    I get the mother's love and protective thing, too.   But to move somewhere MORE expensive.... and then when Meri and Kody like an area of land that is cheaper to buy they get the more EXPENSIVE lot because ...well.... Robyn wanted it, yanno.  And then to force the other wives and kids to all uproot and move because of that one child who really isn't a child anymore but a young adult who doesn't need smothering, just a support system?  Nah.  Something could have been worked out to benefit everyone.  Even if Dayton put off college for a year or two until the oldest three graduated from high school.   He could have taken online courses to keep "Sharp" or like I've said before - community college and worked part-time somewhere.  It didn't have to be NOW because Robyn wants it NOW.   Universities don't decline incoming students because they didn't just graduate from high school.

    Agreed.  I'm with Meri on the Cottonwood property, much prettier and close to town.  Maybe there wasn't enough land or issues with drilling for water, sewer concerns, etc.  But Cottonwood was hands down the prettiest.

  14. I must be the only person watching this show that doesn't particularly care for Dayton. I get the feeling that Robyn has spoiled him due to his disability, and that he knows that and he also knows how to work her (and others.)  I feel sorry for his sisters. However, that may explain why they're so hungry for any kind of attention.

    Still, he's only 18-19, so that's as far as I'll go with my opinion of him, but honestly, give me Logan or Gabe any day.
