They probably all sync up and he gets a week off every month.

That's what I was going to say, Escapee! Too funny.

LOL!!

Deb, I think you nailed it on the head!!
I Love Meri (#1). This is the life that she wants and SHE can't have bio. kids except that 16 yr old dd and she adores all of those other kids that her DH fathered. She "hand picked" each of her "sister wifes". SHE is the one in control IMO and he is her puppet!

It looks like Kodys relationship with Meri,wife #1 is very much like Bill's relationship with Barb,wife #1 on "Big Love". They seem closest to their first wife and give them the most respect.

Maybe they sync up.. two have been pregnant quite a bit of the time they've been married to him, one just joined the group and the first wife.. hard to say.

Yes I could, but considering the fact that then I would have ANOTHER reason to be mad at him because it would take an act of Congress to get him to pay, it just wasn't worth it. Still isn't 13 years later...unless of course he wins the lottery...or gets involved with a woman with a child and ends up supporting THAT child...he should support his own first (but so far neither of those things happen).

I like having the control over choices in her life that this gives me. Sorry if that sounds wrong but he has problems with drugs and alcohol so I don't want him having significant decision-making control over her life.

Roxip, sounds like you are doing the right thing for your daughter. It's not always about money.

But money would certainly help...LOL!

The rest of it is that he got in a bind a couple of years ago and he lived in my spare room for the last 3 years (yeah! He moved out in July!) So in truth I was supporting HIM! (My daughter was happier than I was that he finally moved out...and she's only seen him once since.)

Sorry for the off-topic.

Wow! Well, we all do the best we can with what life offers us. Sounds like you're doing the best for your daughter, even if the best includes avoiding her dad (I totally get that--I have family members like that myself).

Back on-topic, got this from an article I found called "Five Reality Stars We are Really Hating Right Now:"

2. 'Sister Wives' Kody Brown
He's the ringleader of this Utah family circus — complete with four wives, 13 biological children and three stepchildren — but we just want him to step out of the way, so we can sit back and enjoy saucy third wife Christine's bon mots. Frankly, Kody's floppy hair, ruddy face and overenthusiastic salesman's personality make it hard for us to take him seriously as an alpha male. He's more of a jerky weirdo, and when he says "love should be multiplied, not divided," we just nod and wonder if this guy really expects us to believe that polygamy is anything but a cover for his wandering eye. Ick, ick, ick.


Sounds like we're not the only ones who feel this way about good ol' Kody.

I just watched the wedding dress episode and Wife #4 knew that was going to cause friction with the other wives.I like Christine the best,she speaks her mind. Im sure their religion expects the women to be summissive.I liked that she said he needs to "step it up and fly right",I could tell he was pissed and the other two wives said not a word.
He seems to have a more distant relationship with Janelle.I dont sense a close connection there.

Kody kind of reminds me of Brian Heidik, the winner of Survivor Thailand. He was ridiculously competent as a Survivor contestant, but he made my skin crawl (stereotypical used car salesman-type oiliness).

Babyjaxmom - thanks for posting that link to the article...

I laughed through the whole thing!!! I totally agree with what was said. I'm glad others feel the same way as we all do!

Sorry if this has already been posted but I just saw this on PerezHilton.com
********************
Just when you thought Sister Wives couldn't get any more disturbing, here comes the INCEST!

Star Magazine reports that polygamist and reality show stars, The Brown Family, are more about keeping things within the family than we all thought. In a shocking twist, it was revealed that Kody Brown's second wife, Janelle, was brought in as his wife shortly after she divorced her first husband - Kody's first wife's brother!

What the what?

In one BOMBSHELL of a secret, it was uncovered that Janelle was married to Adam Barber in 1988. Adam is Meri, Kody's first (and only legal) wife's brother. The two divorced only after two years of marriage and three years after that, Janelle joined Kody's polygamist fam.

A family insider reveals:

"I know she was originally very upset over Janelle dumping her brother. I think there has been a lot of unspoken tension between her, Janelle and Kody all these years."


We'll say! This adds a whole new level of gross to the equation! Seriously, this is like incest! How can they live like this??? So uncomfy!

Makes more sense since she has mentioned that Janelle was at her wedding to Kody and they "already knew" her. I guess so.

Not sure that is actual incest, but seems a bit close for comfort.

I like Meri but am not too crazy about Wife #4. Her constant crying was really getting on my nerves - it was a little too fake and I believe that when she finally gets her pseudo-ceremony, her true personality will come out and they will find out that she is a manipulative <100>. I think Kody will regret this latest nookie treat.

It's funny, when I watched the marathon 4 hours rehash, I still felt kind of sorry for those 4 rather naive wives but I also had an even dimmer opinion of Kody... He's boring, conceited, very immature and dare I suspect when he was seeking a #4 he was rejected by those few women he tried to pursue? That or Meri was afraid of them...
Christine assumed Kody would never take a #4 after 16 years of such well organized bliss, but I could have told her there might even be a #5 someday if he stays out of jail. She was the most against any #4 joining the family. Said she never wanted to be an only or #1 or #2 wife, but #3 is perfect! Does she still feel that way, we can only wonder now that she's not the latest or final wife after all...
A 2nd season of Sister Wives? Mercy, I hope not! Unless they could only film the wives & kids and leave Kody out of it... You know, like how we never saw the boss on Charlie's Angels but heard his voice on an intercom? I enjoy how they filmed it with wives & kids airtime the way Big Love shows Barb, Nicki, Margene and even Ana the possible #4. In fact, they're all so sneaky and vying for more Bill time ~ his part could be cut to 12 minutes per show! Only in Kody's role a shadow on the wall could replace him and still give us the idea which wife's turn it is...

Interesting news about Janelle's first marriage....My thought has always been that I don't share, food, drinking glasses.......my mom says I turned my own glass around as a child, silverware or my men. I don't like "OPP";"other people's property" and to me Kody 'belongs' to Meri.
