Except he only wants to be a husband to Robyn, not his earlier wives. Hasn't worked out how to deal with that yet except by being petty and vindictive. He likes being a father to the ones who adore him and he's managed to get rid of most of them that way.

I just can't figure out her aesthetic - she owns the entire Precious Moments collection, crams random artwork over every square inch of wall space, her dining room seems like something Katherine of Aragon might've enjoyed, and her velvet boudoir looks like a Vegas hotel room circa 1974.  Based on the glimpses inside her house and the stacks of Amazon boxes, she seems to be spending Kody's money faster than he can earn it.  

 

I honestly didn't know these were still a thing.  She seems WAY too young to have an affinity for these creepy little things.  Apologies to anyone that may have them.

I did notice at the sad Xmas with her kids that her house seems super messy.  I believe the hoarder rumors.  I wanted to clean off every flat surface.

Also, may we discuss Aereola? The TH with she and Solomon was something.  Someone said the lisp may be from excessive binkie usage.  All I know, is as a NON kid person, my patience would run thin quickly around her.  Put on cuteness drives me nuts.  Anyone needing a ride to hell can jump in my handbasket!

Eggsactly the plan, I'm sure, with Janelle and Christine "sharing" the AirBnB house. I'm hoping there's enough overlap that they can enjoy being together as long as they keep Paedon and Gwendolyn separated. We know the kids have kept in touch through texts, at least, probably FaceTime, too. I wouldn't want to miss a chance to see my missing siblings.

I noticed that the Kody household seemed to have stolen the tradition of crepes on Xmas.  They cannot even start their own traditions!  BEC mode. 😜

I don't think I've mentioned her before, but Sarah of realiteasquad on YouTube has made commentary videos of Sister Wives, for a good while.

If you have eleven or so minutes, the latest one, SW Janelle Worries About Finances While Robyn Spends Lavishly/Season 18 has a couple of interesting tidbits about my least favorite wife, Sobbyn, of course.  I'm not on TikTok, but there's a clip of one from that platform, that I found surprising, but not rilly, considering what we already know about the McMansion and its "dreckeration."  There's also a clip I hadn't seen, with Kootie and his bro Nathan, who was featured in the "guy time" from last week's episode.  Poor babies, those two misogynist pigs!!  😡

I love her!  I have gotten addicted to Youtube this summer.

He wants to be an authoritarian whose subjects are forced to kowtow to his every whim. I think that if Sobbyn crossed him, he'd bail on her as well. He has no interest in serving anyone but himself.

Just about to write the same thing. Sad to say I truly believe Kody doesn’t care for his children. 

Kody is in love with Kody. Right now Robyn provides him with a comfortable home but he’s not in love with her either.

It’s this week’s sneak peek for Sundays episode.  It includes a TH from Kody where he continues to find excuses  for not contacting his kids, ‘ the phone works both ways’ ‘I will give Savannah  her Christmas present late’.    If he hadn’t contacted her by mid January … it’s more than a little late.  He lives  a half hour away.   

He's an ass. He definitely should be leading by example and proactively contacting his kids. He can't see past his anger with their moms to be an even halfway decent dad to them. Every week I hate him more and more.

I swear I'm not being intentionally political.

When immigrant families were being separated at the border in 2018 (???), one night, the news hit Rachel Maddow particularly hard while she was covering it. I remember her sort of crying (which is not like Maddow) as she referred to some of the children who had been seized as "tender aged" children. They were infants/toddlers/under fives.

Every time Kody mentions the tenders, or the fandom goes on about the tenders, that's what I think about.

Yes. I have done some work with immigrant/refugee children and those six and under are considered "tender aged." Many of the rules for them are different (staffing ratios; ability for us to interview them; tons of other logistic and care provision stuff). I would not be surprised if the term has somewhat different definitions in different disciplines and probably even across programs in the same government agency.

 I have also worked on other social service programs, where the term is less commonly used. I've never heard "civilians" use the term.

Kody uses the arguments with the sister wives as his excuse for not seeing his children.

He knows it hurts the wives but it also gives him an excuse to not see the children.

Men that love their children move mountains to see them and spend time with them!  Kody won't even pick up the phone on their birthday!

Watching the show Kody doesn't even like the children in Robyns home.  They are all so fake and uncomfortable in all their scenes together!  Sigh.

Areola is treated like a 2 yr old child binkie sucking and all!

There was a scene of the dining room table and Areola was crawling along on top of the table and knocked over a snowman decoration and you can hear Robyn in the background say “that’s enough” or “stop” or something

who lets a 7 yr old kid crawl around on the dining room table until they knock over the decorations?

I just did some snooping on Google at Robyn’s artwork on her walls, apparently she loves Vladimir Kush… ummmm.. she has this masterpiece of his on her wall… “Don’t worry Mr Deer I’ll save you from the forest fire by killing you with my gun!”

is that supposed to be Kody with one of his many guns running into the forest?

Robyn has 4 of his works on that wall alone and they total $20,000 meanwhile Janelle is broke.

I guess the deer portrait resonates with Robyn and Kody since the description of the painting from the artist’s website:

“ Amidst the excitement of the search, the hunter does not notice anything around him. There is only an image of the Deer; the future trophy, in his head. Probable prey blinds his mind and shifts his estimation of universal values. He is not capable of seeing how beautiful the world is around him“

(rewritten/edited by me) sounds like Robyn’s entry into the family:

Amidst the excitement of getting his pencil wet, the idiot Kody does not notice his old family around him. There is only an image of bad eye brows and extra long Victoria’s Secret jeans ; the future massive debt contributor  Robyn in his head. Probable harmone swapping blinds his mind and shifts his estimation of any scrap of decency. He is not capable of seeing how beautiful his entire family  is around him.

Speculation here: viewers seem to be tiring of the "Kody and Robyn" show, the scenes with Kody and his bros, and so forth. If the show doesn't step it up, I think we're looking at ratings cratering. I'm beginning to think this will be the last season, with TLC using any remaining footage for something like a "wedding special" featuring Christine and David, with Kody's butt-hurt reactions.

I just don't see how the show can continue, after this week's dreadful episode. We'll see Avalon's birth soon but it's gonna feature Robyn casting a pall over the blessed event. With most of the OG kids not participating (which is more than understandable, and certainly healthier for them in the long run) and the adults with not much left to say about polygamy and each other, there's not much content of any interest whatsoever.

I love Truely scenes but I hope she puts her foot down and refuses to pander to her parents' need for underage kid content. I wish Sol would be able to do so as well, but alas it seems he doesn't have much choice but to do what he's told.

I don't know how many more weeks of recycled angst they can milk out of this.  It has been a total snoozefest from the first episode and we just keep hearing the same crap over and over. "It's their fault", "It's his fault", "It's her fault:, "I'm suffering", blah, blah, blah.

I really doubt seeing the twins or the latest Baby Brush will bring in viewers.  Who cares about kids who will be in college by the time it airs?

Enough, already.  Beating a dead horse just isn't doing it for me.

I think some of the furniture came with the house but Robyn’s “Precious Moments” collection, Kodys “Dickens Christmas” houses and I suspect the artwork is theirs.

if I bought a house and that was the art that came with it and it was plastered on every single inch of wall space I’d be tearing it off the walls and sending it to a local auction house.

Hey TLC! Thhppptttt to birthing eppies! I'm bored with those. 😴  However, any emasculating Kootie eppies you've got in the hopper I can get in line for!  💯

BTW, I'm on team blech re Mykelti.  For some reason she reminds me of something scaly, something sniffing all around with its forked tongue, hiding somewhere in the environment 🪱, and I always have to be on the lookout for the sake of the ones that I love.

And enough with putting the toddlers on the couch.  For Pete's sake, their lives are gonna be hard enough at school when they get older as it is, living down this crapfest. Quit using them for your quick buck!!!!  Looking at the dream team, Kootie and Robyn.  🧐

I agree, Aeriellablahblah.. is already sucking on a binkie in every scene we don't need her on the couch acting strange in TH's.

If that art is truly expensive, I highly doubt it was there when it was an Airbnb.  Nobody who is a Airbnb host has expensive, portable items ripe for the taking.  I have stayed in many and not a single one had anything worth stealing.

That was truly odious.  Poor Sol forgot his lines and Areola was, well, disturbing.  As I have said before, these kids are going to need LOTS of therapy to live this crap down. Bullies will eat this up. I hope the therapist dumps it back in the laps of their parents for selling their souls to TLC.

As if we all haven’t known that for some time.  Christine was begging for equal time in Vegas- it’s documented on film.  It’s why she had the wrestling mats in her garage so that the boys would  practice there.  She thought that would aid in getting Kody to come over.  Note: she had one boy old enough to wrestle- Janelle had four and Robyn had 1. Sol not being old  enough.

The kids aren't toddlers, plug in Ari's mouth aside.  They're both in school and Solomon will be in middle school soon if he isn't already.  It depends on the grade arrangement in their school system.

I think Sobbyn is one of those saps that falls for "this is a collectors item and will be worth a fortune" stories.  Think Cabbage Patch Dolls and Beanie Babies.  You can't give that crap away. I expect she thinks her Precious Moments collection will bring in big bucks down the line along with the Dickens Village.

Bad news, as soon as something is labled a collectors item, it isn't.  People snatch them up and ultimately they are pretty much worthless.

Art might be an exception. Personally I think that stuff on her walls is awful.

Dali is a good one, fer sure.  🥰

Some of today's disrupted realism is quite interesting.  Julie  Chapman, a Western artist, is known for this type of work, although I'm more in love with her scratchboards.  Much to my chagrin, I can't afford them.  Still drooling, though.  🤠

The art on the walls of the Christmas rental was blurred out.  Wonder if it's due the artist not granting permission for their art to be associated with the show.  The owner of the home may have stipulated that the art could not be used on the show.  The easiest answer is that there were logos that could not be used on the show but, though blurry, it didn't look like logos to me.

Instead of these?

https://kushfineart.com/artworks/categories/8/9398-behind-the-trees-39-x-49-inches/

 

She buys Dickens Village and Precious Moments so it would be a big jump up to $7K on a giclee. 

It wouldn't surprise me if the previous owner left behind a print that cost $75 and Robyn thought she was scoring something worth 100X that.
