    True and she’s als the youngest. Indeed, some may even consider her an afterthought or caboose baby. Anyway, those youngsters typically have a very specific position within a family; more spoilt, get away with a lot, lots of attention and likely less strict boundaries (like a later or negotiable bedtime, being allowed more) This all adds to her behaviour and character.

    Also, because of the big age gap between her and Breanna, the family is less little kids oriented. There’s more teen or adult talk and the same goes for what is seen on tv. Sol is exposed to this too, but he’s much more reserved and seems to think before he speaks. Ari just blurts everything out all the time. And most adults think this is funny so she’ll continue doing this.

    Sol had the advantage—-at least pre-Covid—- of a lot more interaction with his half sibs. Truly was older, but still close enough to bond with him and Gwen and Ysabel were still at home. He didn’t have the bonding experience that the older original kids got in Lehi, but he got more than his younger sister.

    I think it's more specific than that. I think Kody wants Janelle to turn on Christine, Garrison and Gabe. I think he's after punishing anyone who has stood up to him, and those three people in particular. And I think he specifically wants to isolate Christine from all family members as punishment for leaving.

    I have watched both seasons of The Vow, and Kody reminds me a little of Keith Ranere. He also likes to inflict mental pain with his mean remarks

    Kody: “Robyn always makes sure things are awesome for the kids”

    like trick-or-treating at their own house.

    Also, Robyn looked terrifying in that Cleopatra get-up…

    I can’t stand Robyn and Kody, but I think they gave those 2 kids the best Halloween they could based on their Covid rules.  There was no way that they were going to drive them to a neighborhood in flagstaff for trick or treating and let them get exposed to Covid germs from strangers.  There seem to be no houses anywhere near their house. I think the kids had fun with it. 
    I cannot believe I said something somewhat nice about Robyn. I will show myself out….

    I’m not buying it that Kody was like that when the cameras weren’t rolling. Simple math really: he’d be constantly running around the house to tuck them in and kiss goodnight as they were quite a bit apart in age. No way they all went to bed at the same time.

    Also as Roslyn pointed out, he usually wasn’t there for Christine’s kids anyways. On hindsight, I suspect he spent most of his time with Meri, enjoying some peace and quiet time. 

    Aspyn tucked in her siblings. Not sure about Janelle’s.

    Where are Janelle's kids? 1 in NC, 2 in NV, 2 boys in AZ + Savannah?

    Maybe she left Kody and lives in Vegas now?

    I doubt she would have moved from flagstaff during Savannah’s senior year.  Having family events in Flagstaff would be awkward since the Kody Robyn family is also there. I think it is great Logan and Michelle are hosting them. Paedon was there recently so he may fit in better with janelle’s boys better than with his 5 sisters especially since he and Gwen seem somewhat estranged

  6. Oh, good grief.  He and Meri divorced.  So this is his second divorce even if Meri thinks she is still married to him. 
     

    poor Gabe. So awful. Gwen has a birthday close to Gabe. I wonder if he remembered hers.   I know there are lots of dates to remember in that family so you would think they would have a calendar with all the dates written down and they could check it each morning.

    Something tells me we'll never see a dog, Chez Robyn.  

    In one of the first episode he talks about how he grew up with dogs and how they understood him. There is a much later episode where Robyn reveals her dislike of animals.

    So Kody expects Garrison to reach out to make amends. Isn't that something that the father should do?

    Normally, yes, because the father should be more mature, but in this case the reverse is true. 
    Kody is horrid

    No clue what her jobs were, but Paedon said she had a few jobs over the years. (Probably not his exact words, but as close as I can get in my memory)

    The only job I recall her mentioning was title clerk at a car dealership. She was working there when Kody proposed.

  10. I think I am going to watch season 1 again.  It is giving me some whiplash.  It is interesting that the whole family gathered several times a week to have dinner together which worked because they were all in the same house. Also the kids all played together in the same yard. Kody looked pissed when Meri mentioned jealousy issues over Robyn. It was nice that’s kody tells everyone goodnight

    I’m shocked they haven’t talked any of the kids into having a polygamous relationship just to keep the show going. Aren’t Robyns girls old enough to be somebody’s second wife or whatever? Oh wait.

    Mykelti would be the one to go that direction out of all of them, although I would enjoy one of the girls showing up with 2 husbands. 

    I am not sure about the format my phone is doing. 
    I just wanted to say that I don’t think any of the originals will do polygamy. I used to think Kody and Robyn  would encourage it, but they may be dissuaded by Kody’s rants on tv.

    WTF -  the things Christine and Janelle they are saying are so irresponsible. It's so much worse than I thought!!!!! This company has had so many FTC violations and legal issues, and already warned by the FDA for false labeling even though its not regulated at all. 

    People on other social media sites are pushing to get the Christine and Janelle show. I don't know where all those "saint Christine" people come from but they need to see what these two are doing. 

    Well, I don’t think Christine is on a fast track toward canonization, but I would watch a 2 hour follow up show if Janelle bolts. 
    I thought Christine was doing Lularoe, but maybe she quit  I am appalled she is giving it to Truly. Do they get that much free product to give it to all their children?  It is expensive.  At least Meri isn’t doing health drinks as far as I know.

    Has there ever been an episode where they say what Robyn has done to make everyone hate her so much? Or is it just that she's passive and Kody's ass-kissing favorite? Janelle alluded to problems with Robyn, and Christine (sort of) admitted she didn't treat Robyn very well, but I never remember an episode where we were shown what exactly was going on. A few seasons ago, Meri was the problem and appeared to be the only major problem. Robyn was even allowed to sit in when Maddie gave birth to Axel. Either things were going on that they didn't tell us about (likely), or they're rewriting history a bit. 

    I would guess a lot of smaller things added up to the great resentment.  What they ended up with when Robyn’s family joined up was a blended family which was made more complicated by polygamy.  If I were an “original” wife, I would have turned against her when she did the picture of kody with her kids as though they were their kids together. She seemed to butt in a lot instead of deferring to the originals.

    If she’s alienated herself from her “family” it’s her own fault for treating Janelle and Christine’s kids like second class citizens for decades and for bringing in Robyn to win Kody’s approval and one up the other two. Being selfish for decades came back on her.

    I think she comes from a large family, but I don’t have a clue as to how much time she spends with them.  I think one of the sisters died.  One of the brothers was at the inn once.

    Janelle can finance a construction loan that will roll into a mortgage, but since Kody wants to redraw the boundaries she can't build until the boundaries are registered with the county. The survey of the boundaries will be part of her financing.

    While I can see why Janelle would think this is a clever fix, once she gets a site plan and a building permit the boundaries of her lot will be tied to her loan and won't be able to be redrawn. Kody would be limited to moving the boundaries on either side, but won't be able to touch hers.

    The way that Kody wants to do it, kinda like the Vegas cul-de-sac was built is to build all 5 houses at the same time. However, he would have to have a whole lot of cash up front to get the ball rolling.  Paid off property, altered boundary lines that are registered and accepted by the county, a full site plan of the whole 14 acres and all permits in place and THEN the electric$$$ could come in. They won't run electric until they know where everything is going, driveways, houses, septic, gas lines, water lines etc etc.

    Every single thing that is put under the ground or on the ground will have rules of how far away it needs to be from everything else. Two houses sitting side by side can't have septic systems side by side. They will have rules for how close anything can go up against the property boundaries, the drainage pond, the gas road easement, the gas pipeline. AND...the property has a big ol flood plain cutting straight through the middle...which is why the "pond" is there in the first place.  If you look at the google earth photos you can see where the water runs through.

    I didn’t realize it was in a flood plane.  Add flood insurance costs to their expenses, but I would bet they never build.

    According to Robyn Christine's leaving has caused collateral damage that will last generations to come - any idea what that damage is and how it will impact successive generations?

    It makes no sense that Kody is still insisting on subdividing into 5 lots - isn't that is what is holding up paying it off or construction?? As another poster pointed out, Janelle made sure the location she picked would be in her designated lot whether it was 4 or 5, and Kody shrugged it off. Kody is settled in the Mansion on the hill and has no intention to build, as he keeps shooting down any suggestion by Janelle.  And his insistence on 5 is probably for Robyn's children - then they can remain in the mansion and the kids will be close by - a Brown compound. 

    Oh and the fact that Robyn did not just buy the Mansion with money from Janelle AND Meri - but she also bought 2 lots next to the mansion - Janelle has nothing and Robyn has a mansion with 2 spare lots.

    Janelle seems to have stopped holding back and is slowly realizing that Kody does not care about her. I so hope she got a lawyer and figured out stuff. She is not a legal wife but she has given so much money to the family over the years. She should do her own taxes and make Kody and Robyn figure out their mess. I can't even fathom how complicated it is. 

    I have no idea what Robyn meant, and I doubt she does either. She just said it to be dramatic. She may think watching the family break up will discourage her children and their descendants from the polygamous life.

    Doing laundry today I thought of Robyn and Janelle as I sorted lint givers from lint receivers, although in their case it is money givers from receivers.  Janelle gave her inheritance for the down payment on the  Lehi house, she cashed in her retirement account to help fund the rental houses in LV, and then she gave half of the proceeds from her LV house to Robyn. It sounds like Meri gave all of her proceeds to Robyn.  I hope Janelle has realized how much if a sucker she has been and how she only has an RV to show for it. I hope she and Christine can write another book and spill the dirt on life with Robyn. I cannot imagine they could carry a season by themselves, but a 2 hour update would be nice. I think Mykelti is itching to be back on tv
