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

[Canadian Girl]

I figure Robyn just explained that poorly.

I don't think it's like "I'm seeking a divorce from my husband and one of the final steps in the process to make it official is having sex with another man." 

I think it's like "IF a woman happens to cheat on her husband, the consequence for her is that the seal to her husband is broken."

It could have been edited weirdly, too. But nutshell, I think she was trying to say the man can’t leave the polygamist relationship, and if the whole family has left the church then the church can’t or won’t dissolve it, so the woman who left has to dissolve it by committing adultery with another man. Adultery would break the bond, just leaving doesn’t work. Thus in robyns eyes I wonder if she thinks Janelle, who is intentionally celibate right now, is still married to Kody?

[Ms.Lulu]

Mostly I think Robyn and Kody make up their own rules to suit their stories:

• Christine isn't divorced until she has sex with another man--RB
• Jessop stole my cookie and that kept me from giving it to the right man, so I can badmouth him until he gives up custody of his kids--RB
• I'm the Brown family scapegoat and I'm the only one that speaks Kody--that's why I need to be in all conversations--RB
• If Kody doesn't stay with me exclusively for 3 years during Kodvid then our tenders will die. I am just the beneficiary of the rules that you won't follow.--RB
• I almost died, Robyn almost died, that's why Janelle should have returned from her vacation to buy me beer and skittles--KB
• I never loved my wives, I was just asked to play a loving husband on tv. I am the victim--KB
• Robyn is too pretty to cook and Christine can do it anyway--KB
• Christine has to say I'm a bad husband or no good man will sniff around her--KB
• Robyn got scraps so I can raid the family account to buy her a mansion, ugly artwork, and jewelry that is better than everyone else's--KB

Robyn was legally married to her first husband so not sure if the spiritual rules for “official divorce” applied to her.
I also think she was badly attempting to explain that in their religion, which none of them really follow now?, that a woman basically doesn’t matter and has no status in the afterlife outside the husband. If they’re sealed foever for eternity, the church can do an unsealing, or she can commit adultery by sleeping with another man and that voids the sealing. So Christine would be sealed to kody until that seal is broken by Christine, because Kody can’t leave. They have no church. So Christine needs to boink somebody else to break that eternal seal. 
According to Christine, Janelle, and Meri, this is all a load of  baloney and not church doctrine. Doctrine of the church Christine left so rules don’t apply to her anymore anyway.

Also I don’t think anybody believes Robyn and Kody weren’t intimate before their church marriage. She has a history of doing whatever to trap a man, and he was way too giddy and willing to dump his 12 kids and pregnant wife to drive five hours one way every single weekend to not be compensated some how. 

 

Since Robyn was pregnant with Dayton when she married Preston, I'm not so sure she and Preston had an AUB sealing.

The cult is really big on purity. I don't know that they would have sealed their union. Without the sealing, there's nothing to cancel or get a release from.

The LDS church does not allow a non-chaste couple to be sealed in the temple. They have to wait a year after their civil marriage to be sealed.

That makes no sense to me. So what? Are they re-virginized after a year? And how would the church even know?

Since Robyn’s mom was her dads side family, I would expect her ( you know cause she is such an empathetic person ) to not want any part of her family to feel that way.     I’m phrasing it badly so I hope you understand.   I mean she knew he was doing more with her family.   Although I do think kootie would go out and she might have thought he was going to other families but was just driving around

She should have said "GET A JOB!"

[LilyD]

She must have had a job of some sorts when she was on her own in that rental far, far away in the first few episodes??   How else would she be paying for the rent and food? 

Kody must have been absolutely fine with having her around fulltime doing nothing. He also approved of Meri quitting jobs for no reason and working only part time when the family could use every dollar they could find. 

I have wondered about that a lot, why didn't he ask them both to work more? Was it because he either ignored any financial hardship and let the wives deal with that? Or, when Robyn arrived, was he counting on TLC bringing in the big bucks and felt no need to pressure into working?

I think that's the most likely reason.  

If they had had any business acumen they would have invested that income for the future but, well, the Brown Financial Brain Trust was never an option.  They totally lucked out with their cult members buying the MLM crap to keep them going.

I read somewhere that the rental she was living in in ST. George belonged to her dad.  Not sure if that is true or just a rumor.  Someone also said she was working in a nursing home.  

 

He should have had everyone working.  With two moms working day shift and two working evenings and both sets of moms helping watch the kids and get them to school and back home.

That's it!  Crybrows is so easy to read, because we can almost see the gears turning in that head of hers:  "OK, now I put on my concerned and caring face."

Phony bitch.  She's full of 💩.

[RazzleberryPie]

Robyn was a single mom with three kids and an ex who, according to her, contributed nothing financially. Was she receiving benefits for housing and food? Also she was thousands of dollars in credit card debt.

I always got tha impression that Robyn’s “job” was to have more babies and somehow she and Kody decided she was the only wife who didn’t have to work while pregnant. Or take care of any of her kids. 
Remember very early on when there was an episode where she and Christine danced around talking about childcare? I think Robyn absolutely thought she was going to prance in and take over Christine’s spot, and Christine could go back to work. Christine seemed really nervous and they both danced around having a real convo. It was another instance where Robyn seemed to be guiding another pre rehearsed convo trying to trap things into being filmed and Christine wasn’t happy.

Robyn didn’t give a flying flip that Christine had an infant and they’d be disrupting the lives of all the other kids if Robyn took over and then you know Robyn would just dictate to the older kids what to do while she tried to get pregnant.

Oh you know she was prob trying to put her scent out in the ER so all the Capt Saveaho first responders could get a whiff. 

I’m very curious as to what she did at a hospital. She doesn’t have the education or license for most jobs, and she’s too lazy for housekeeping, nursing assistant, food services, etc.

She probably had Kody order 10 more U-Hauls because I bet she’s online trying to scoop up remaining ones off EBay, so they don’t end up in the Louvre!  Everybody know those little masterpieces will be on the porch just sittin’ there with Robyn during her twilight years.

Someone needs to tell her Beanie Babies are also bringing in a ton!  HA!

[eskimo]

Don't tell Robyn, she might faint from the reality shock, but I recently learned the truth about the current value of Precious Moments...

I found a FB page called Altered Moments. People are buying them, sometimes by the boxfull, for crafting. It's really a fun page to look at, some people are so creative and talented at this. Anyway, as we all here already know, they can't be very valuable (outside of a few outliers) if people are getting them just for arts and crafts. 

Here are a couple examples I really liked...

 

Sorry for the large pictures, I couldn't get them smaller for some reason. Certainly user error.

What a fantastic idea!  I was browsing a resale shop recently and saw four large shelves lined with Precious Moments figurines.  How cool to buy them cheap, repurpose them and re-sell them.  I wish I was the crafty type, lol.

Robyn should consider doing something like that with all her leftover MSWC jool'ry to bring in some income.

She worked as the facility translator for men disabled by only being able to "KodySpeak."

Poor Robyn Brown… she wanted the wallet family, but got stuck with the man 😔

[GeeGolly]

Continuing (somewhat) a conversation started in Meri's thread...

Robyn entered an unhealthy family dynamic. It reminds me of a friend who kept getting dogs in hopes that each new dog would level the playing field. What she didn't realize was no matter how many dogs she got, one of them was going to be the dominate dog.

The Brown's admittedly brought in Christine because Meri was dominating Janelle. What happened, by circumstance, was Janelle and Christine formed a loose alliance. That was a win/lose for Meri - she kept her top dog spot but was without sister wife support. After years of being shunned by Janelle and Christine and Kody losing interest, Meri tried for a win/win - new wife for Kody and a buddy for her, so it would be 3 against 2. Well it was a lose/lose. Robyn was now the dominate dog and Kody had a woman who "spoke Kody", which is code for stroking his ego while bossing him around. And she did the same to Meri.

Robyn was the undoing of this already unhealthy family almost before she threw her "scent" into the ring.

IMO, the Brown's would still be a (dysfunctional) family had Robyn never entered the picture.

This is the real reason she cries over the breakup of the family. No sister wives to guilt, or have Kody bully, into her new super-duper awesome business venture of Precious Moments mosaic table tops.  😂

I wanted to strangle her when they all sat down to discuss how the joolry bizness was going, and she complained it was because the other wives weren't working hard enough-for Robyn's passion. 

But I bet the OG3 would be happy to chuck those things at the wall across the room to at least break them up for her!

I've wondered about this too and this scenario seems likely.

Yet I cannot discard the consequences of the tv show and subsequent move to Vegas. These completely alienated them from the AUB . Over the years, we literally saw them lose faith in both their church and the polygamous lifestyle.

My point: What If they had stayed in Utah and would have regularly attended their church and had received support and counselling from the AUB? Robyn would probably still have been HBIC yet I think it likely that their church would have kept the family "together". (Well, maybe together-apart or whatever you'd want to call it)

Very good points. Of course their living situation would have needed to change too, because Robyn was still in her own place.

On the other hand, if the OG3+K moved to Vegas, by the time Kody's wanderlust took over there would be no reason to move to AZ, so they likely would have moved back to UT.

Apparently, there's a rumour that they're selling up because they're splitting... And while I share the belief that it is highly unlikely, I cannot completely rule it out either. It seems that Kody's erratic and unpleasant behaviour is getting worse with every year that passes. After all, there is only so much a person can bear right?

She brought on the funk alright, and stunk up the entire family with it.

Going on record here as a vote for "stone-cold sociopath."

Who else sermonizes to a group of children about how her kids' bio father stole her "cookie"?  And that her precious cookie was actually always meant for the bio father of most of the kids watching this highly inappropriate discussion?  Or who else takes a photo of her not-quite husband with his other family, literally erases that other family and inserts her children's faces at the age they would have been to match the younger age that Kody was in the picture?  These are not your average manipulation tactics, IMO.  Those things took some serious thought and showed no mercy for the people who were forced to sit through her disgusting theatrics.  When she mumbles, "fills like we all shoulda been together from Day One," she means that quite literally.  I think she's far more scary than stupid. 

I also wonder if the Brown kids ever get together on Zoom and do a shot of tequila every time Bonus Mommy gets the dry-cries.   

 

Ooh ooh, can I answer?  I think if Robyn leaves, Kody shaves his head, rends his Ed Hardy bedazzled lavender shirts into rags, and pulls that old RV off of the mansion property and moves into it, near the plague pond at Coyote Pass, living off the land and frying up tumbleweeds for his dinner.  Occasionally he'll climb a mountain hill and practice his "WAYYYY-STED-DUH!" soliloquy for the assembled prairie dogs, who titter and run away when he tries to catch one for breakfast.  And sometimes, when he thinks the trees are watching him, he'll crawl into the ditch he once tried to throw Sol into and hide, wondering what Christine is doing that very moment and how he can blame all of this on her.

Gosh, that was cathartic.

THAT was amazing!

I wouldn't be all that surprised if she books.  She only married him for the TV time and the money.  They are probably in debt up to their necks - all of that crappy art and her gee-gaws don't come cheap. She'll lawyer up, take her half, and be gone.

It sounds heartless to say 'and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy' but KoDouche is so odious and obnoxious and just plain hateful gaslighting bastard so there ya go.

I feel like Sobbyn would never leave him UNLESS she knew she could get a certain amount of money in a settlement. Right now, it sounds like they're broke ass broke, whi h woukd make sense now thatbthey cannot take whatever they want from the family money pot (ie: Janelle, Christine, and Meri).
