If Sobbyn was really a model, we would have seen her pitchers by now.   

Those pitchers would've been hung above the headboard alongside that ridiculous pitcher of the two of them posing next to Kody's convertible like a still shot from a music video.

Longtime teacher here- we giggle about Ari's lack of physical boundaries and "safe hands and feet", but if she were in my class at school and this behavior was occurring, we would be having daily discussions and communication with family. She's not a toddler who doesn't have the language skills to communicate needs and wants. Girls came be just as aggressive as boys. Her jumping all over Truly at the birthday party was unacceptable behavior.

For sure - after all, this is the girl who sat on the interview couch and gave us a verbal dissertation on the merits of what ingredients go into the making of a perfect crepe, or why she should be allowed to ride an ATV on Plague Pass, or  screaming at encouraging her bonus mom to go out on dates.  This is why it's so bizarre to me that this child can even speak in complete sentences, given her use of a pacifier at age 6 and the fact that she leaps onto her nearest sibling whenever she feels like it.  She's clearly intelligent, but it's also clear that she has no boundaries at home.

Kody and Robyn don't know how to parent their children. Kody left the children of the OG wives to them and then complained about things he didn't like. I don't think they know how to discipline Ari or help her with language skills, or how to support Sol who is a quiet kid who takes a back seat to his sister. Maybe Gabe would be a good mentor for him - if only they were all talking and Robyn didn't put a moat around the house to keep everyone out.

I'm loving Christine recognizing Crybrows' relationship with Mykelti. I truly believe originally, Robyn was close to Mykelti for the help with the tenders, but Christine is magnanimous in her acceptance of the Dark Wife in the role she played with Mykelti. 

Christine has always struck me as being pretty savvy when it comes to interpersonal relations (Kody aside). Maybe it comes with being in enormous families from childhood, but she's observed a LOT of human behavior up close and personal, and if there's one thing you learn once you've seen it play out more than once is the power of playing the long game. Many divorced parents inwardly seethe at their kid's hero worship of an absent, neglectful parent (or fourth mother), but know saying anything is counterproductive. 

Sometimes you have to wait these things out until the kid is an adult and gains perspective about the relative merits of each person and their behavior over time.  Once they start witnessing certain behaviors as an adult, they revisit the echoes from their childhood and renegotiate everybody's role.

I think Mykelti has always been desperate for Kody's attention, and when Robyn came into the family and was obviously his favourite she saw an opportunity. Mykelti has always struck me as somewhat manipulative / conniving and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I also think she is intelligent enough to realise the cozying up to Robyn would bring her in close proximity to Daddy Dearest, and now she has outlasted all of the OG3 kids and is top of the heap of kids that Robyn didn't birth as far as Kody is concerned.

This is likely true, but she is probably headed for a hard fall.  Kody and Sobbyn are only loyal to Kody and Sobbyn and when Mykelti outlives her usefulness, she will be cut off just like the rest of them.  She is fortunate that while Christine may be hurt by her actions, she won't hold a grudge and will take Mykelti back with open arms.

From the preview for next week... I can't believe (well actually, I can, but it's unconscionable) that Robyn expects and needs Meri to comfort her because Meri's and Kody's marriage is ending. That woman is exhausting. 

It is also unconscionable that Robyn was there at all.     What for?   Meri and Kody should end their spiritual marriage without a third party there- besides the film crew of course.  Robyn is also the same person that thought she needed to be at the lawyer when Meri signed the divorce papers for the legal marriage. Robyn has to be in control of everything. She’s the least polygamous polygamy wife ever.

Now don't panic, but I think those might have been actual real tears for the first time ever coming out of that woman's face.  Because with Meri leaving, the TLC gravy train might just pull out of the station for good, leaving Robyn to come to terms with what she has wrought - by dissolving this family, she now has a mansion that she and Kody cannot afford, as well as the collectibles and questionable artwork she thinks she deserves, a nanny, fancy dinners out with her man, etc...all of it might be coming to an abrupt end, and she and Kody might have to get jobs and - gasp - downsize significantly.  Maybe that college apartment that Janelle lived in is still available?

It probably is her place in the birth order, but I think she might be a “lost child” without some manipulation. I am almost certain she was the girl who decided she could ride the horse at her grandfather’s ranch when the group was told not to ride him.

Has anyone listened to this recent YouTube podcast interview with Kody Brown and Mormon Discussion.  I'm just starting watching it now, it starts off with Kody really schmoozing and grinning ear to ear but I'm sure that demeanour will change to his true nature shortly!  He has already cleared himself of any tough or real answers based on his non disclosure contract with TLC.

Then why didn't she just say that at the time?? And not make up the morning sickness bull $hit?? People would have understood that w/out any fancy dancing around on Mykelti's part.

She finally came up with a more plausible answer (rather than she just wanted to stick it to Christine) to explain away her actions. Instead she mumbled and stammered through the sickness help excuse.

I don’t really understand how ANY young family manages financially today; it’s such a challenge. As I understand it, neither Mykelti nor Tony have actual jobs, right? I know that Mykelti does the MLM crap and Tony - what? Plays video games on one of those sites that people can watch him play? I’m guessing they don’t have health insurance so just routine prenatal care (just the basics since I’m guessing Mykelti is all “woo-woo I shun medical science”) would cost a tidy sum.

I totally agree he just waxed poetic ad nauseum..... he thinks he is so intelligent lol.  Reading the live comments nobody had anything good to say about him. I laughed at the end, there were only three questions from viewers and they were stupid.... he expected more ha ha.  At one point they asked him about marrying someone else and he got all excited in some weird excited way, just repulsive, ugh. Total waste of time for sure.  They do have some hilts slotted so you can cut to those but it was all boring, mostly him talking over and showing off to the other two guys

The hosts of that Mormon Discussions podcast don't watch Sister Wives and didn't have Kody on to talk about the plot of Sister Wives. To the extent they talked about the show, they did so as part of Kody's overall religious journey.

Then of course there is the Kody factor. You can't really herd cats or direct Kody's mouth. 

(About Mormon Discussions ⬇️)

 

 

In the past, I believe both Bill Reel and "Radio Free Mormon" were LDS apologists, but are now ex-LDS, and I think both were eventually excommunicated for questioning the LDS church. I know Reel was once an LDS Bishop, and one of the reasons he was excommunicated, was that he questioned church teaching about LGBTQ+ people.

Reel is or was one of the owners or managers of that pawn shop in St. George, where Mykelti worked with Kody's mainstream LDS friend, Chris, after she dropped out of college. Kody and Christine visited it, on the show, and Kody talked about pawning some watch that Robyn gave him.

Mykelti was at first living with or renting from Chris and his wife (who has also been on the show), when she moved to St. George. More about Bill Reel.

"Radio Free Mormon" is the name of one of the podcasts that channel puts out, and if I understand correctly, it's also been the longtime online handle of the other guy on the podcast. I believe his real name is Corbin Volluz.

I think they had Kody on, because he's known from Sister Wives, but not because they wanted to talk Sister Wives. To them, Kody is interesting because he is known as a Mormon fundamentalist, who at least seems to be questioning his faith, as well as a onetime polygamy activist who is shedding wives like a dog sheds old undercoat, because he only loves one woman. Their angle is the greater Latter-day Saints religious movement, not the pop culture angle.

So to sum up: there wouldn't be much content in this for Sister Wives fans, except for those who are also interested in a religious discussion.

I watched the whole thing, because the religious angle was what intrigued me in the first place (and I think Sister Wives would have been better if the producers and the Browns were more willing to include frank religious expression, but I'm probably wrong about that).

I will say, I found Kody much more human in this podcast episode, than he has been in maybe the past 10 seasons of Sister Wives. He's still an asshat, but he's like the asshat of old, not this new, roided up, patriarch-wannabe jerk we've been getting for the past few years.

There’s also a pic of the outside of the house, which shows an immense load of clutter precious treasure in every window and an entire downstairs room full of boxes. So, I suspect every single room in the house looks like this.
Is  Robyn possibly developing some kind of hoarding disorder?

It makes me wonder if Robyn has some kind of uncontrolled health condition (probably autoimmune - maybe Hashimoto's, judging by her neck) that makes it really hard for her to have the energy to clean up or be very active. There have been times over the years that I've been "out of spoons" in chronic illness vernacular to do a ton of cleaning - although never to that extent of clutter because my husband and kids could help, and I'd do what I could no matter how shitty I felt. But then, I didn't have 7 people living in my home, either (of course, I also worked full time and didn't have a nanny). 

I hate giving Robyn the benefit of the doubt, but is there anything about Kody that says he'd be willing to step up to the plate and help with housework if Robyn was under the weather?

I'm not the world's best housekeeper that is for sure. My back only allows so much before I have to stop. But my place looks nothing like that!  I don't have 6 able bodied people living with me either. Frankly I don't see Kodouche even thinking housework would be appropriate "work" for him. My guess is his thought would be that is the wife's or woman's work, not for a busy, busy, manly man (gag!).

The older girls and even Aribelablabla could certainly help in keeping it neater. Even Sol could have certain chores. I forgive Dayton as he lives on his own in the RV and keeps his own house.

There is no excuse except sheer laziness, unless she is gravely ill (doubtful), for that mess! No wonder she doesn't allow cameras inside!

Meh, in my opinion, Robyn suffers from Princess Syndrome.  Cleaning, cooking, childcare is for peons.  But there are 4 other housemates that are adults that can take on chores if she is struggling and the kids old enough to help.  For fucks sake, I was 12 when I had my 1st job.  Sol could help (he is 12ish).  Ariola is certainly old enough to do something at 7.  If they want to live like pigs, whatevs.  But that place is gross (thank you LiliD!).  NoWhammies, looking at the mess stresses me out as well.  

I noticed at Truley's pathetic bday that Ariola body checked her at some point and was really glomming onto her.  She was climbing on the table, jesus.  She needs some training on how to be around other humans.

I do think a health condition (physical or mental) is part of the reason at least. Gwendlyn, who does not waste any love on Robyn, has said that her home was always clean.

However, both Gwen and Mykelti have acknowledged or at least allowed that Kody and Robyn have a shopping problem. 

Just looking at the amount of Kody's crap that Christine had to box up, when she decided to put Kody out of her house was stunning -- particularly considering he had 2-to-3 other wives' houses, where he could stow his shit.

Looks like she could be a shopaholic!

 

That's what Gwendlyn has said (the neat part) and she and Mykelti both think Robyn AND KODY having a shopping problem. I feel a little bad for Robyn (I mean not deeply, because she is awful), but as a culture, we still hold women more responsible for the state of the house than we do men. That's not fair. It's effing Kody's effing house, too.

I think Kody was a packrat-to-hoarder, even before he met Robyn. Now whether Robyn is lazy, or has an illness, does not excuse Kody from not cleaning up and tidying their shit.

Also, I'm fairly certain the "art" is Kody's. (Mykelti mentioned that he sees it as an investment).

And also, Kody did, once upon a time, appreciate that Meri's house was quiet, tidy, and orderly. He's said it on the show, so he knows what clean is. He's even thrown some shade at Christine, in the past, for the state of her domicile, so he's capable and responsible -- CULPABLE, one might say -- for the state of Robyn's McMansion)

(I'm sorry. I feel like I am too repetitive in this post, but let's blame effing Kody, too. He's not a child, even if he acts like one. And he's not a marriage and parenting newbie. He's not a newbie to setting up and settling into a home. He's not a newbie at running his mouth when he dislikes aspects of his homelife. Whatever problems Robyn may or may not have, Kody is a grownass adult who could fix this, should he choose.)
