Absolutely no gray area for me in what she did, either. By her own admission she would have left with the "man", had he actually been one.
But then again, there may be a lot about the ethics of plural marriage I don't understand and perhaps what Meri did was within certain allowable standards? After all, didn't we just hear Kody invite Christine to find another man and bring him back to Flagstaff in order to prevent dismantling the family?
I would think so. But outside of Christine at some point being close with and watching Janelle’s kids while she worked, that doesn’t seem to have been how they operated otherwise. I would have liked to think that when Christine was pregnant (and apparently working outside the home) someone could have stepped up to help a little.Confused about that whole issue with putting the kids to bed back in Utah. They were living communally then and isn't that what the other sister wives were for?
Yes, in fact, she was married to Meri's brother.
Oh wow. I didn't know that.
I've also heard Kody isn't vaccinated. So I can't take any of his Covid rants seriously.
Neither did I!
You can tell Meri is at the B&B for hers. I have to keep reminding myself that the show is happening in 2020 but the interviews are more recent. They are all way past all that we’re watching now.Neither did I!
Anyone notice that Meri isn't in many interviews? I mean, is she even living in Flagstaff still? I follow her on IG and she's having lots of great adventures with her businesses so good for her
Ugh, Sobbin Robyn was at it again in this episode......
This was taped spring 2021.You can tell Meri is at the B&B for hers. I have to keep reminding myself that the show is happening in 2020 but the interviews are more recent. They are all way past all that we’re watching now.
Kody is for sure an egotistical jerk but it takes two to tank a marriage. I was very frustrated that neither would take any accountability for their part in it. They are both masters at gaslighting each other. Both are toxic IMO. You can’t force someone to love you and that’s exactly what Christine tried to do. That said, Kody failed to be even a basic husband to her. Why he’s shocked that’s she’s over it is anyone’s guess. I do empathize with him about her taking Truly so far away. And I feel for Truly because she’s going from having a bunch of siblings to basically being an only child.
Janelle’s boys. One of them randomly came across my Tik Tok FYP the other day and he just RAKED Kody for what a crappy husband and father he is. I cannot fault them. Treats their mom like a second class citizen and wants to toss them out of the house in the middle of a pandemic. Like Janelle I’d choose my kids and my DH knows it. Kody seems stunned these moms are choosing their kids over him.
Robyn. Oy. You know I don’t have the hate some do for her but c’mon give me a break. She knows she’s the favorite. She knows her kids are the favorites. She’s the one with the real marriage license and no doubt thinks of herself as the real wife. You can *feel* that coming off of her. I think it’s not a coincidence that she’s complained about Janelle’s boys “picking on her” and Kody’s sudden animosity towards them. I’m just sayin.
The first episode they said they were nine months into the pandemic. They were still taping stuff with their own phones. It feels like they’re jumping back and forth a bit. The timeline is confusing.
Considering how well Kody did "babysitting" Truely a few years back, the kids are probably much better off with the $20/hour babysitter.
This season was filmed in 2021. Christine moved to Utah in October of last year. Four of her children live near her in Utah: Aspen, Mykelti, Paedon and Truely.
I wasn’t arguing I was just going by the disclaimer at the beginning of the show and I believe it was Janelle saying they were 9 months into the pandemic. I was just pointing out the interviews seem well past the actual events.
