RazzleberryPie April 20, 2023 Share April 20, 2023 One of my nieces just started as a new grad ADN/RN in January. She’s enrolled in a BSN program. Mid-sized regional hospital in Ky. Base pay is $30/hr plus weekend and shift differentials. Her hospital does not differentiate with ADN/BSN/MSN on bedside nursing positions. The extra shift bonus is something like overtime plus $40/hr plus the differentials. She picks up one extra shift per week, so works four days a week, and will end up close to $100k. Anyway, nursing varies so much in roles, pay, etc., they Hunter could do very well for himself and will never be without a job. He chose well between nursing and also the military career. At least one Brown kid has some sense. 8 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7968003
LilyD April 21, 2023 Share April 21, 2023 All this talking about Kody's kids and work makes me think yet again about what he is doing all day and how he makes his money. They're not filming all year long after all. We know he is in the gun business and according to some, you can make a lot of money in that. Yet I fail to understand how you'd do that if you don't have a (web) shop and only occasionally visit a gun show or exhibition. It doesn't seem like a regular fulltime job to him. Not even part-time come to think of it. The weapons he sells are expensive, but he'll have to invest a pretty hefty sum in stock too. It makes me wonder how much he actually earns per sale after deducting all the costs. It can never be enough to keep that mansion, have 3 kids in college and fund Robyn's Victoria's Secret credit card. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7968328

GeeGolly April 21, 2023 Share April 21, 2023 I think there have been posts about Kody having two business partners. I believe one lives in OK and the other in another state, maybe NV. I might be making this up but I think Kody's friend Brian from the infamous wedding is a partner. I'm fairly certain the dozens of boxes that Christine labelled "books" were Kody's stock of guns and ammo. Other than renting a booth at a gun show and the cost of travel it seems they have little overhead costs. I'm guessing the guns are his side hustle to supplement the TLC income. Could he support his family of 5 kids on it? Possibly, but it goes without saying Kody will never make as much as he does doing Sister Wives without working some serious hours. 10 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7968683

GeeGolly April 26, 2023 Share April 26, 2023 I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Precious Moments Mansion... They now have 2 or 3 kids attending college next year. Two non-tender nuggets in grade school who have a paid nanny. And possibly a job and a half, with no additional income from the OG3. Kody hangs with mostly females: Robyn, 3 daughters and the nanny. Robyn said last season Kody was turning into a woman hater and he said his biggest fear is being broke. And of course there's always the chance that Kody gets reinfected with covid* and has another "near death" experience. Also the fact that he's married to micro manipulator Robyn. I just don't think its all sunshine and rainbows at the PMM. *not minimizing the seriousness of covid, just mocking Kody's over the top reaction to having a fever and a "sore ass". 14 3 4 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7975162

Also, I don't think either of them has a soul anyway. I do look forward to a season that is mainly about Christine and Janelle breaking away, with a very occasional cameo via Zoom from a miserable-looking Kody as he weakly rages about all that kidney-knifing in front of Christine and Janelle, who both completely ignore him whilst sipping margaritas and eating nachos. 8 4 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7975215

Maybe they'll redo the format of the show like some primetime series are and only have them each on selected episodes so there's a built in pay cut.

She does not have the temperament to act as a gracious hostess, the population of Parowan is just over 3000 people and the closest major airport is 3 hours away from there. Even if she didn't operate the house as a BnB, the place would need an overhaul to meet her exacting standards. Aside from a few pictures and that round table with the crocheted cover in the parlor, there doesn't seem to be anything of her heritage there. Besides the lack of social stimulation, it would drive her bananas to sit on the front porch and stare at the eyesore across the street.

She is the one who had the most hope and did the most to work with her entire family to try to be fair and balanced. She actually thought they could all live together under one big house and live their faith. I say she’s the truest believer because - these are my personal opinions of course: kody = liked the idea of polygamy for the attention, being seen as rebellious and edgy to regular LDS, and of course being King Rooster with multiple women ruling over his planet. Meri = she was going to do whatever it took to keep kody. If he’d converted to airport hippie Hari Krishna she’d follow. Janelle = true believer. I feel like she the one who tried to explain what they did what they did religiously and lifestyle wise, and that she’s the one who appeared to try the most to be cooperative and make it all flow. She wasn’t going to give ultimatums or be wise financially because she was trying to earnestly keep her family together and believed them when they said they’d have one big house together. Christine = born into it, grew up in fear of living anything else, never really thought about any other life than polygamy, got treated like garbage by choosing Kody. Did not want the hard work of being wife 1 or 2, always wanted the Baby Wife Catbird Seat aka newest and prob fave. Robyn = if TLC cameras hadn’t been sniffing, she would not have gone anywhere near this family. She had bills to pay and limited options as a divorcee with three kids, one who she insisted was special needs. She’s all pious now, but I think that like Meri, she’d confirm to whoever paid the bills and let her rule the roost. 20 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7979842

LilyD April 29, 2023 Share April 29, 2023 Great analysis @RazzleberryPie! I think you’re spot on with all you say, but I’d like to add that Meri was also attracted to the power and status that came with being the first wife. For polygamy to work, you really need to set yourself aside and think of the greater unit. Other family members’ needs are as important (or more important) as your own. There’s no room for jealousy, demanding constant help nor for claiming lots of material goods for your individual craving. Janelle was the only one capable of doing that. Christine came close at times, though definitely not always. The others always set their own needs before the others. 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7980378

For that reason, I don't see her settling into life at the BnB. She does not have the temperament to act as a gracious hostess, the population of Parowan is just over 3000 people and the closest major airport is 3 hours away from there. Even if she didn't operate the house as a BnB, the place would need an overhaul to meet her exacting standards. Aside from a few pictures and that round table with the crocheted cover in the parlor, there doesn't seem to be anything of her heritage there. Besides the lack of social stimulation, it would drive her bananas to sit on the front porch and stare at the eyesore across the street. I think she will use the Parowan house as a stopgap until she catches her breath and plans her next move. This. I always knew Meri would use the place as a temporary landing pad whenever she needed it. I called it in 2019 or whenever she first purchased it. Awesome planning on her part It’s funny, everyone seems to have backup plans except Kody and Robyn. They can’t mooch money off the others anymore. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7980824

I wonder if Janelle waited to "separate" from Kody until she started making bank from Plex-trash, but had planned to do so all along. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7981134
LilyD April 30, 2023 Share April 30, 2023 somebody else described Janelle as the one true believer a few days ago. She really believed in polygamy and wanted this eternal marriage to work out. Covid changed all and showed Kody’s true colors. His total neglect of his other wives and kids must have really gotten to her and I suspect she really needed the time to come to terms with the end of their ‘marriage’. It seems she was lucky enough for this to happen when she established herself as a succesful Plexass ‘consultant’. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7981197

Christine has said that Janelle advised her to get her financial ducks in a row before leaving Kody. I believe Janelle then took her own advice rather than was just lucky. 13 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7982248

I think Janelle stayed in the relationship while it was working for her, and got out the minute it didn't. Janelle is not as outwardly emotional as Christine, and she's a lot more independent. I don't think Janelle has been truly in love with Kody for years, if ever. And it still creeps me out that she got into a plural marriage with her ex-sister in law's (Meri's) husband. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7987122

Interesting that the time she chose to bail was when she could no longer ignore the fact that she had been taken advantage of financially. Her own kids feelings of emotional insecurity were a secondary afterthought. 4 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7987145

If so, I wonder how on earth they ever got a pass. I lived in a town of a similar size and there was no Health Inspector. The cost was $60K annually and they tried to get other cities and counties to go in together to share in the cost, but never got any traction. A quick google search didn’t result in any restaurant inspection scores for restaurants in Parowan, and those are usually posted by the city, county or restaurant; so my guess is no inspection. Eat at your own risk ;) Edited May 4, 2023 by Booger666 2 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117611-kody-brown-the-man-who-survived-a-knife-to-the-kidneys/page/40/#findComment-7987155
