Robyn Brown: She wanted the family, but got stuck with the man.

[xwordfanatik]

Well, she had to have new undergarment duds to surprise Kootie with.  Meanwhile, Christine was giving birth to #13.  I'm surprised they even named Truely.  No surprise Kootie doesn't even know her routine, what?  Nine or ten years later?

Interesting blog from Robyn, but if I had to rate the Brown kids on who I root for the most, Dayton would be at the very top of my list.  It must've been a huge adjustment for him to be plunked into the middle of a loud, large family and suddenly have several new relationships to navigate while his mom was busy modeling lingerie for her new husband, his bio dad was being erased from his personal history by his mom, and his sisters were competing over New Daddy Kody.  I recall him coming into the family and being very quiet, standing at the outskirts of the group and observing a lot of the time.  It made me so happy when he was older and he was doing a couch session with some of the older boys and he seemed to be right in the mix, joking and laughing with them.  I'm not saying Robyn doesn't deserve some credit for acclimating him into the family, but my gut tells me that most of it came from Dayton himself, as well as the older kids making sure he was included in a way that made him comfortable.

For the record - Brown kids I am rooting for after Dayton would be Ysabel, Truely and Savannah. 🙂

Robyn wanted Meri at the legal Kody/Robyn wedding because of Meri's "sacrifice" as a way of including her, but Kody was loud and clear against anyone even knowing the date of it happening.  Honestly it was one of the first times that I agreed with him.  He stated that his anniversary with Robyn was their original sealing and he didn't want her getting two anniversaries while everyone else got one.  However...he said that on camera and all, and then he and Robyn quietly (off camera) went skipping off on another 10 honeymoon to the beaches of Hawaii. 

My inner accountant has always wondered this scenario.... this is from my own head and I have zero on show or off show info to back this up.  However.  Meri and Kody would file taxes together with one daughter.  Mariah is off to uni and that's now zero children.  Then there is Robyn right next door with four or five (I can't remember exactly how many at the time of the divorce) children under the age of 18 and a business.  Kody marries Robyn and takes on all her children as dependents and is aligned with her business through marriage to set things up for a some time in a future bankruptcy that covers Robyn's house (he was quickly added on the deed to her house according to online savvies) and business.  Since all the wives have declared the big B in the past, but not Robyn, it made the most sense to me. Nothing to back it up past the fact that the Browns to have a tendency for creative financial juggling.

This!!  I have thought that they did it for tax benefits all along.   And that added to the poor Meri not having eleventy billion kids and it’s not her fault.

 When Dayton was little he struggled with ........

As I read through this post, I felt a tad uncomfortable, like it was too invasive and exposed Dayton's 'weaknesses', 'issues'--whatever you want to call it. This is not an anonymous blog, they are in the public eye, and Dayton is old enough to tell his own story--or NOT tell his story in such a public manner. I could be wrong, but I doubt that Robyn discussed this post with Dayton and asked him if he was comfortable with sharing such details. Forgive me--I am a psychologist, and with all the ethical guidelines as well as best practices to promote positive therapeutic outcomes,  I am acutely aware of the importance of one's control and ownership of his/her story/narrative.  A person's story is not for others to tell. Perhaps Dayton is completely comfortable with such details being shared so publicly and my discomfort is unwarranted. 

I have been impressed with many of the older kids and how they seem to be really good people: Logan, Janelle's boys, Gwendolyn, Ysobelle, Dayton. With the clusterfuck of dysfunction between the 'adults', many of these kids have grown up to be very decent, kind, and responsible individuals. I kind of love when the kids make known their opinions and call out parental hypocrisy. Like when Logan essentially called Kody out in Hawaii about his sudden need to eschew pork and Kody's resulting tantrum because he wasn't being blindly followed (clearly a demonstration that the sudden forbidding of pork was never part of the ever-changing evolution of the  fambly religion thus far). I also appreciate Logan making his own way and learning from his parents' mistakes--rejecting polygamy, his relationship with Michelle, his responsibility regarding his education and future, his willingness to risk losing his glorious eternal position on Planet Kody by continuing to consume bacon, etc.

1. I completely agree re: favouritism. My mother heavily favoured my brother, still does in fact, and it was heartbreaking when I was younger. We have a see you once a year relationship now, even though I have her only grandchildren and she's 45 minutes away.

Wow... thank you so much!  You and Gothish have really helped me "grow a pair".   It's hard to go against the grain when you were raised a certain way (and my parents weren't polygamists but VERY traditional and strict) and taught to submit and be subservient.   I understand that this way of life is actually repulsive and offensive to many people, and I know there will be people who will NOT be as kind as you two - but I think I can handle the adversity better knowing there are others who don't view me like a "meek roach".  lol    A SHEEP maybe... that's ok... but not a roach!  😉

Now as to the favoritism crap - I am SOOO sorry that you went through that.  As long as I live I will NEVER  - NEVER - understand it.  It makes no sense to me ... and yet it happens more often than it should.  It is definitely your MOTHER'S LOSS!  She could have had a best friend in you - and there ARE no better best friends than your children!  Do you ever wonder what happened to her to make her that way?  My husband's family had a lot of discord and I don't think he got a lot of love growing up with that (anger and fighting) and so many siblings, so I try to excuse his failings in picking and choosing which of his children "mattered".  He missed out on a lot, and although most of our kids love him still, they rarely speak to him and aren't interested in a relationship anymore.

You sound a lot like me in how we view our kids.  Sometimes one child needs more than the others - but it all evens out.  And each has unique talents and qualities and "lovability".  I adore my kids.  Have you seen that movie "City of Angels" when Nicholas Cage asks people what the best thing about life was?  From the moment I saw that movie my answer has always been the same:  "each and every one of my kids".  Such a gift.  Your mother (and my husband) just failed to appreciate the most precious gift they will ever have.  It's a pity.

As for favoritism, my mother always maintained that she loved each of her four children equally - even in private, when I would tease her with "Come on Mom, I know I'm your favorite, admit it!", she wouldn't bite.

My mother was the same way.  What is funny is that in our 40s & 50s my 3 siblings and I were discussing this amongst ourselves and 3 of us thought we were Mom's favourite and 2 of us thought we were Dad's favourite, though we had kept it to ourselves up until then.

Yeah.... Kody and Robyn asked her to divorce Kody long before the catfish - so she had already lost everything before she met "Sam".  And since Kody was ALLLLLL about Robyn and didn't even notice his other wives, it's no surprise she was lonely and vulnerable.  She brought it on herself - but as for the divorce- I TOTALLY feel sorry for her.

Could the Browns manage to get financial aid for their kids because they have TLC put the income from their show into a corporation/production company set up on their behalf?  That company then could pay all their bills without it being "taxable income" to them so when they fill out the FAFSA for college they qualify for grants and subsidized loans.  Hence the "scholarships"....

Special Ed. scholarships might be different, although they never said it was a scholarship based on his disability. My son went to a major state university with scholarships from the Division of Blind Services. His deadlines were different and he had to reapply each semester so they could be sure he was keeping up his grades.

One of my kids was in the Daniels Fund Scholarship program.  They have mandatory classes for the parents and college-bound kids and the first thing they stress over and over is that the FAFSA must be filled out ASAP (like in January or February) because after that the money is quickly disbursed.  I think Robyn is lying through her honkin' huge chin.

Would you mind saying what the financial aid/scholarships deadline was for your son? Just curious. My best friend missed the financial deadline for her kid and her kid ended up going to school locally for a year because she didn’t want to take out a loan. In the end it was the best thing that could’ve happened to her because in that year at local college, she ended up changing her entire major focus and went into an entirely different direction, and transferred into an entirely different school. So everything worked out for the better. However, they really take those college deadlines seriously, and I really doubt that someone could apply for scholarships starting in May, for September admissions. I could be wrong...

I don’t really remember the exact amount he received because he qualified for FL academic scholar and had a FL prepaid plan, so Division of Blind Services paid for the balance after he showed them his GPA for the previous semester. When he was in graduate school, Blind Services paid for everything if he passsed the course. One semester he failed a class and he had to return the money to the state ($700!) and when he retook the class, he had to pay for it on his own. Disability scholarships can be great as long as you keep up your grades and don’t waste their money.

I have to laugh because actual "true" Karma doesn't work like everyone thinks.  For example, if someone does something very mean to you and you think "oh boy - Karma is going to bite YOUR butt, buddy!"  you aren't taking into account that in a past life you might have done something equally mean to this person and you had it coming!!  This explains why crap happens to the nicest people!  They might not have been so nice in a past life and what goes around comes around!  Karma is based in reincarnation!

The second reason Robyn's post made me laugh was the irony of it all.  Sometimes the sneakiest and most selfish people don't even realize it, so when someone retaliates or doesn't go along with the bullcrap they feel "wronged" and want "justice" for a situation that never deserved that kind of justice in the first place!  I feel like Robyn (and also Meri) can never look at themselves objectively.  They never do anything wrong themselves, and if they do something that APPEARS to be wrong (I.E. catfishing) it wasn't THEIR fault - it's 100% the catfisher's fault for being a catfisher... nevermind that you had no business romancing on the internet!

No no no no no no no! I don’t know what to pick first, but I will go with that he was a married man! I know, polygamy blah blah blah, but that still has to mean something to her AND HIM that you don’t go around falling in love at first sight.

And no no no to love at first sight. My husband and I have a sweet and romantic backstory, but I would never call it love at first sight. Calling that love is a disservice to what love is. What happens after the words, “I have cancer” or “I have a secret credit card” or “our child is in the hospital” is love. Working through hard things is love. Finding new ways to connect after the hot and heavy phase is love. Love at first sight is not love.
