Where is Paedon living these days?  

[deirdra]

Paedon said on TikTok a month or so ago that he was moving to northern Utah to train become a firefighter, but I thought Mykelti lived in southern or central Utah.  

[Gramto6]

Thanks @ginger90 I don't know what happened, but now I don't seem to be able to view Instagram w/out signing up. And that is not going to happen!

[ginger90]

Paedon was waiting for firefighter test results. Did he pass? He was supposed to find out at the beginning of May. Maybe he said it on TikTok?

Anyone?

From that angle it looks like he has a receding hairline like his dad.

Have you tried clearing your cache? That might help.

Genetics could play a role here though it's definitely not the only cause. But according to research, men have a bigger chance to become bald or have a receding hairline if their father has it too. Best example I can think of, the current British Royal Family: When you follow the male line back up from Willam and Harry to Charles, Philip and his father and grandfather, you'll find they all have a similar pattern of hair loss. 

So yes, I'd say that  Kody's sons stand a certain risk to have inherited this too, though hopefully for them not everyone will have to face this. (Sensitive thing among men!)

[winsomeone]

The balding gene is passed down to the son through the mother, not the father.

I’ve read that it’s from both, which makes sense when you think about it.

Christine is actually related to Kody, albeit distantly.

This is a fairly persistent belief that is not 100% correct, though there is an element of truth in it.

Some genes related to baldness can be found on the X-chromosome, which men inherit from their mothers. So, in this you are correct.

However, recent research has shown that genes related to baldness can be found on other chromosomes as well (no 20 being the most important here) Also, some genes are dormant (so to speak) others are dominant. Then there are ones that strengthen traits and characteristics, which may very well be the case when it comes to hair loss. And particularly if both your mom and your dad have passed on such genes.

In any case: sorry guys, you can't put the full blame for your hair loss on us moms! 😉

Which chromosome carries the asshat gene?

It's obviously the K chromosome.

[LilyD]

Let’s hope that the mom’s genes are stronger then! 
Though I’m not sure if Mariah is better off in that situation🤔

Don't know, but maybe if you are not a member and are just viewing posts/not replying there isn't much they can do to block you.

I will never sign up for IG or FB and have let my Twitter account go silent well over a year ago. I am grateful for the members here that bite the bullet for us and post so we can see what these Zlist "stars" post. Thank You guys!! 🥰

From the pictures Gwen seems to have finally found a fitting bra!

Ysabel and Aspyn are so pretty.  I love their hair.  Mine went from wavy to curly, and I would have loved that long blonde, straight hair as a teenager.

Exactly, Maddie should have kiboshed that sash 

That type of thing should be kept to adult partying (personally I think it’s just plain stupid  for no reason and it’s not even funny, it’s just vulgar and dumb)  I guess the Brown girls think it’s edgy and bitch’n  🙄

[Rabbit Hutch]

Such a beautiful young lady wearing such a vulgar sash.  If I was that gorgeous I certainly wouldn't ruin it by walking around in a tacky sash.  The dress is really pretty too, although it's too short. 

Wasn't she recently caught in a pic where she had what looked like a babydoll nightie on? I surprised Christine let her wear that around her.  So sad.

Exactly.  If you're out clubbing in Vegas for an evening with your besties then I can see it.  However, there she is, holding a teacup and eating what appears to be a delicate lunch, with kids around.  Classy move, Ysabel.  😒

[ginger90]

I don’t think Maddie was at the celebration. Mykelti was, so I’m guessing it was in Utah.

[GeeGolly]

She's young. I think the sash is perfectly fine. But then again, I have a potty mouth.

[deirdra]

Ysabel is in Utah for the summer. She probably needed a break from Maddie.

Once again, I completely missed reading that charming sash!  

The good thing about it is I hope Kootie and his only wife hated it.  Otherwise, it's vulgar and tacky.

One reason I love it here:  you guys catch stuff I miss!

I'm sure Kody would say that Ysabel learned that behavior from living in Las Vegas, and not from being raised by 4 parents who aren't really religious and who back stab each other left and right. It must be Las Vegas' influence. 

Also, Christine is a very passive parent, so I'm sure Ysabel and all the other kids do whatever the hell they want.

Including leaping on the Christmas tree - and proud mom filmed it. I suppose some people think thats adorbs. 

I would punch anyone who dared to do that with my tree let alone post it on SM.

Both Christine and Janelle are very loving but very passive, and it shows in how their kids speak to them and Kody. There doesn't appear to have been much discipline. And it was made worse by having a mostly absent father who stared at his phone when he did bother to come by. Some of the things Gabe said this past season and his general attitude made me cringe. Ysabel has now been on social media several times in outfits that appear to be lingerie. And Paedon admits he slapped his own sister across the face, with no apparent  consequences.

I'm not praising any of the Browns for their parenting, but I will say that the short, lingerie inspired clothing is very "in" right now. It's everywhere. I'm not expressing an opinion about whether it's good or bad, but Ysabel is hardly the only young adult out there wearing that style. I don't think it has anything to do with how she was parented.

The Brown parents, including Christine, claimed they had to "flee" Las Vegas (they seem to flee everywhere for no apparent reason) because of the bad influence. Yet their kids talk and dress in ways that would fit right in in Las Vegas, and don't reflect the supposedly conservative religious values the Browns claim they raised their kids with. 

I remember one of the girls dressing for a school dance and Kody having a fit about the outfit. I forget if that was Ysabel or one of the other girls.

I think the kids saw through the hypocrisy of their parents.  The wimmen folk have long since abandoned their "modest is hottest" look, Kody has cursed on the program, so we can assume he swears even more IRL, even Janelle let the F word rip. Kody no longer makes a pretense at living the principles of polygamy, where to outward appearances at least, each wife should be treated as fairly and equally as possible

I think the hurried flight to Las Vegas was purely for story line as was leaving Las Vegas may have been so Robyn could Helicopter Mom Dayton. 

Kody did raise a stink about Ysabel's dress but it was nothing out of the ordinary for young women everywhere today. 

[GeeGolly]

I thought the 'sin city' storyline was to cover up Kody's next stupid business decision. Also possibly to spice up their family dynamics so the show wouldn't drop them.

Of course it could have been entirely because Sol and Ariella were getting older and Robyn couldn't raise her new babies there.

[LilyD]

I still wonder who conjured up the LV move and how the Browns were convinced to go there of all places…Vegas was everything they disapproved off and I doubt anyone living there knows the word “modesty”. They could have gone anywhere, yet they chose one of the most notorious cities in the US! 

Anyone could tell this would change and shape the kids into what they are today: Normal American teens and young adults, free from the clutches of the AUB, and I doubt this is what their parents originally intended!

As I recall, at one time Kootie blathered that living in Las Vegas was his lifelong dream.

I remember an early episode when Christine bubbled, " I love Vegas."  Kootie took her and their six kids on a trip there.

So it figures that Christine was all over that, when she knew Kootie wouldn't complain about going there with her and her unfavorite kids, if that was Kootie's dream.

He stressed how he was excited by the bright lights.  He had been a billboard salesman in Utah, maybe he felt he could graduate to neon signs in LV.

Clever Robyn chose a house plan with a small balcony off the master bedroom and a lot sited so that this balcony would have a full view of the LV strip in the distance.
