Oh please it’s not Robyn who obeys, she is running the show! I have watched her ruin the dynamic of their family with her subtle manipulation that has now turned into complete control of him and therefore the entire family. Can you imagine not going with your child to a surgery on the spine? It’s disgusting!
but she loves to play the "victim" and cry that this is not what she wanted, she wants the plural family, etc., etc., etc., when in fact she took complete advantage of getting Kody's complete attention and devotion. However, now that the other women are moving away in one fashion are another, she is seeing that she is going to be stuck with Kody all the time, she is panicking.........
Oh, bull puckey. Meri is no angel and she most certainly is no victim. She is calculating and manipulative and she is just playing a part at this point. She supposedly makes butt loads of money from her pyramid scheme crap. She also supposedly does very well with her B & B. She leads a very independent life, travels, seems to have lots of friends outside the family circle, and all she has to do is to show up for a few weeks out of the year for filming and gets another substantial paycheck. She's laughing at her fans all the way to the bank.
The part that killed me was at the end about Ysabel. He wouldn’t even hug her before she left for surgery!!! WTF!!!! She was in tears, feeling abandoned by her dad. He 100% could’ve gone with them and quarantined for the month, the other wives could and should have waited to see him. The fact that Robyn didn’t insist that he go (because we all know it was her kids he didn’t want to miss out on seeing) really shows her character. This wasn’t a fun trip she was going on . It was major surgery and I think he should’ve done whatever he could to be there. Or at least giver her a darn hug!!! I mean come on. Change your shirt, take a shower after, whatever man….but hug your kid!!!
It was at that point that I even stopped trying to be like maybe hes not terrible and part is the wives.. Nope its him.. He could have went with his daughter 100% if Janelle can go to her grandkid and then quarantine he could to, he just cant stand to be away from Robyn
When your wife tells you your daughter's pain level is at an 8, on a scale of 1-10, and has been for MONTHS, and you do nothing but lope back into your regular life.....you're not a parent anymore. I don't know what you are, but not a parent.
I couldnt believe that either....at least mask up, hold your breath and hug and go home and shower and wash your clothes if you feel like you got contaminated! But to not hug your own child before a MAJOR surgery and when you arent going to see them for 2 months??!! That is very telling.
I believe as the children get older they're realizing that Kody is not an involved father! Eventually they'll all separate from Kody! Meri please open your eyes! You deserve better!
If I were Ysabel, I'd never get over how her "dad" handled her pain and surgery. Gabriel is 100% correct. Nice try Janelle, but they see through his bs
I suspect that already they feel that way & when the cameras are off, they show it. You know we really don't see many of the kids anymore & not all have moved away.
It really irritated me what Robin said about Janelle and her "dark makeup and clothes" like are you kidding me?? So what! Janelle is an excellent mother who loves and takes care of her children. What is wrong with one time going out and actually having fun for herself? That's crazy to me.
Yeah, my eyes were twitching when she said that…. Her and Kody absolutely are two peas n a pod.. Since day one he pretty much threw Mari, Janelle and Christine to the streets once he started courting Robin
Man, ten years of marriage to Kody have been rough af on Robin. She’s aging pretty harshly. I can’t believe she’s my age. Her face does not scream happiness.
I thought the same thing. She used to be pretty, but Her face looks weird now compared to how she used to look. I think it's having kids and gaining a bit of weight too.
I think is a thyroid issue 🤔 because she used to be really skinny and now seams to be like swollen. I don't know, maybe is just age, but yeah her face change a lot But its the eyebrows that bother me the most, like a Picasso painting 🤨
The reason Kody is being nice to Meri now and Robyn even encouraged him to make Meri a s’mores is that they need her financial contribution to the family since neither of them contribute!
@@whateverheather655 They do & it has to be divided up. But Janelle & Meri still have well paying jobs. Neither Cody or Robyn have a job. They just leech from the other wives.
@@elenaescocia2479 not defending Cotex be uase I can't stand him . But doesn't he have sometime of investment firm or something like that? If they are only making 375 grand a year they are really getting ripped off given how many years they have been doing this. I know Meri has a bed and breakfast what does Janell do ,?
Gabe saying 'is this dad or Robyn?', and 'if after 2 weeks he still doesn't come to see us then we know it was just an excuse' speaks volumes. I love the fact that he speaks the truth, that he sees through the bullshit and that he's not afraid to call his dad out for it!!!! Kody is a hypocrite, Robyn makes the decisions and then hides behind it as if Kody made the rules. I pray Meri and Janelle get out and leave those 2 together! Kody and Robyn have used covid to their advantage to live the life they want to live.
All of that is definitely true high-fived to gabe man calling out his father on bullshit or I’m sorry the man who created him because you can’t really call Cody his father He’s hardly ever around and what kind of father does that no father I know and he is a total hypocrite Cody is a total hypocrite and Robin makes the decisions and hides behind Cody as if he made the decision she makes him believe he made the decision you know why because it makes “him feel like a man” and he’s head of the household bullshit like that let’s Down to the nitty-gritty of this we all know this isn’t real their idea of marriage isn’t real and we all know for women one man yeah that’s gonna work in hell it’s gonna work
Watching this episode it seems so obvious that Robin is definitely the one making a big deal out of no one being around each other. So much that Kody chose her and her kids over his daughter having surgery. She was the one who needed him the most in that moment but he said no. According to Robins rules he couldn’t be around her for weeks. He chose who meant the most to him in that moment. I don’t blame Christine for leaving his arse. Janelles kids can see what is really happening...why can’t she?
Yes. This episode just pointed a huge finger at Robin. She’s the one running everything. I did notice she tells him what to do but then adds in to do it in a way that doesn’t comes off as such. Maybe you should say it this way.
It makes me sad to hear Meri talk. She gets so excited just to have him call and want to talk. In the end he made her a s’more because Robyn told him to, and she was still over the moon because he did it. She deserves so much more. She gets no physical contact, no hugs or kisses, and Kody doesn’t seem to want to change that. Kody just wants Robyn, it’s plain as day, and the kids can see through the BS.
I don’t feel bad for Meri ONE bit. She has ZERO excuses for not leaving Kody…. Zero. She has one kid who is grown up and moved away. Nothing is holding her back. She isn’t even home half of the time- she’s always out traveling. If Christine with children under 18 can do it, Meri can. Meri is just weak and pathetic.
This is nothing but a drama fest created for the money this show brings in. Most of the women arnt even real sister wives and I think the only reason the show is still going is for financial gain. Pathetic. They give polygamy a bad rap.
I use to feel bad for Meri, but now, I see her as just sad. She looks pretty pathetic hanging around waiting for scraps from Kody. She is so desperate for attention from him. I don't ever see her waking up to the fact that she deserves more. Also, I really can't stand Robyn. She plays a game. She is incredibly judgemental and it has to be all about her. I'm glad at least one woke up and walked away from Kody and Robyn.
Gabe is dead on. He is not stupid. He sees it too. Like “they” say, as we get older, we tend to see our parents for who they truly are. Also, it really irks me how Robin talks in circles to make herself look “innocent”…and then will cry during her interviews. 🙄 Meri is such a yawn. She’ll never leave him. Sad. Obviously he is only romantic with Robin…just like she wants it. And funny how she’ll (Robin) will throw scraps to Meri 😂 So insane.
I feel it's always been clear the older children,most of them, aren't fans of Robyn and never have been. They just may be more willing to express it now that they're older/adults. Which I can't blame them for how they feel. I think Christine and Janelle are the 2 moms the older ones like.
My issue with the episode is Robyn complaining about watching her two kids… like hunny you had them… they are your responsibility… we all know kody is a hands off dude just looks like he helps but doesn’t. You shouldn’t of had two lil kids if you weren’t ready to parent them all the way through! You are they’re mother get over it lady
@@GertieB-d4t Maybe polygamy genetics could be at play. I once thought Truly was learning disabled. Not so much now. I loved it when Truly told Kody off. When Kody was trying to teach her to ride a bike.🚴🏼♀️
Prior to moving to Arizona Robyn had her niece living with her that helped with kids. Seeing what I see. She doesn’t work. No reason she cannot watch her kids. But she’s had a LOT of help. A lot.
I feel a little mean saying this, but I don't think Robyn is a good mother in some respects. I know she loves her kids, don't get me wrong, but she babies them and doesn't help them deal with their emotions. She falls apart when they do, and this is an awful parenting trait. I know. I had a mom (whom I loved dearly) who couldn't deal with my fear or sadness when I was very young. It reminds me so much of Robyn. Robyn's kids are having meltdowns and "panic attacks" because of Robyn's inability in this area. My guess is that Robyn freaks out when her kids get emotionally overwhelmed. This teaches her kids that emotions are scary and are something they (and mom) can't control, hence the panic attacks of her older daughter and meltdowns of the younger ones.
And let’s contrast this to the children raised by Christine (those that are biologically hers and those that are not). Honestly there is a world of difference!
Robyn has a way of making Cody believe that he’s the boss but is actually running the show. She has a talent for turning the tables. She’s taken what Cody likes and used it to her advantage and he’s so lost he doesn’t even see it. They deserve each other. The other wives that are still there need to open their eyes and haul ass. That’s probably what Robyn wants anyway. I think she has a master plan
I agree with Janelles son. Robin and her kids get all of Kodys attention. Robin is always crying and her kids are so needy. She even said her kids are so attached to Kody they couldn't make it without him being there all the time.
I've never liked Janelle very much. I don't hate her or anything but I don't get why she sold herself short and has been sharing a man for over 20 years. She's a doormat.
I think robyn follows them bc she doesn't want kody to toss her to the side like he's done with the others. She's doing all she knows to do to hang on to her relationship with him
Yeh and “the kids can’t be without u for 2weeks” or when she’s on her own drive they make out he’s only just turned up to property to collect tools and not living there 100% of the time. Or that the rules aren’t all Robyn too.
Yes! And I think the only reason she has a “good friendship” with Meri is so she can look like she’s playing nice. Robyn knows full well that Cody won’t have any sort of romantic relationship with Meri. It is easier for her to be friendly with Meri. Meri isn’t a threat.
Thank you!! She is truly the forgotten child by everyone outside of Christine’s household. Literally no one else seems to care about her, even though she’s been the sickest in the last 10 years. How is this possible? Good for Christine for admitting that her kids have always been put last a few years back and that she knows she has to advocate for them or no one else will. That’s a very hard thing to come to grips with. Janelle’s kids seem to be coming to this realization as well…it’s so sad.
Truly was badly dehydrated and Solomon had rsv which says, virus which causes mild cold flu like symptoms and lasts 1-2 weeks. It’s not like he has unstable asthma or heart trouble. And truly hasn’t had kidney failure and or transplant, which would cause concern.
Truely was admitted to the hospital for acute kidney failure and dehydration She was started on abdominal dialysis, and was not expected to survive. After eleven days in the hospital, Truely was able to return home.
@@serzy8373 but Truely needs to be mindful ALL her life about having had severe kidney problems. Apparently Solomon breezed thru RSV w no long lasting effects like asthma or repeatedly being hospitalized w pneumonia. Robyn was downfall of this family. At the same time TLC was looking at the Browns, they were also looking at the Dargers for a show. I believe the Dargers are too functional and they knew the Browns would deliver drama and ratings, especially when they added Sobbin Robyn and 3 kids from different father.
Robyn has always struck me as a sneaky snake since Kody was courting her. I hope Meri and Janelle make their escape someday. I'm so happy for Christine!
I, too, have been reluctant to jump on the hate Robyn bandwagon but that comment by Gabe caught my attention as well. Not because I have a particular beef against her, but sometimes people just want to look for a scapegoat and I wasn't sure that Robyn deserved to be that scapegoat. But that comment by Gabe kind of caught me off-guard. And if you watch the scene between Roby and Kody in their driveway really closely, I think she flat out manipulates Kody into thinking that all these thoughts and concerns that are going through HER head are actually HIS. And it's like she concedes and does a dramatic sigh and says she will go along with Kody's rules. I think I just had my eyes opened. I think there is no question Robyn is really the one pulling the strings after all. lol
Kody could have went for the surgery and been there for it and a day or two after and then went back to see the other family. You show someone you love them by how you treat them and by spending time with them. Robyn is the only one he prioritizes. I hope he marries another wife younger and then she can see how all the others were treated.
Robyn also said she had pneumonia ONCE! I laughed out loud. I have been hospitalized 10 times with pneumonia. My dr was concerned and just told me to self isolate. Robyn is either a hypochondriac or using Covid as an excuse to keep Kody to herself.
I wonder........ if Robyn was the only “wife” left, (she won) and a wealthy, famous guy propositioned her, would she just up and leave Cody too? What’s the true story behind her ex? I find her to be very disrespectful to the other women, and I feel she had a game plan all along.
@@Brosey88 don’t forget she felt like she deserved every fourth night with Kody because “he needed to get to know her kids and she moved up there to be with them…” like sis he has a newborn baby at home, he shouldn’t be with you.
What a emotional MESS!! :) What amazed me is Kody wouldnt go to his own daughters surgery because he said it would take too much time away from his family?? ISNT SHE HIS FAMILY???
It is really interesting watching this now knowing that Christine left and you can see the changes. I also love when Christine said that she has been going over to Janelle’s house even though Kody doesn’t want that!
It is unforgivable that he didn’t attend the surgery. Robin has two sister wives there so aren’t they supposed to help her? His excuse that they “need” him is total BS. He just didn’t care enough and wanted to be with Robin.
Listening to Meri makes me feel so sad. I don’t know if she’s joking or not, but she seems sincere in being so overly excited about Kody even coming over.
I feel she was being super sarcastic or just show boating for the sake of the show and for the sake of making money from the show! Meri is too smart to act like a kid being excited like she would for Santa Claus! I feel Meri is just over it.
Katie did you notice what Kody was doing when Christine made the announcement about Ysabel’s surgery? 😂 He looked to me lost and felt left out so he got in the camera but since he was obviously not involved with the decision, he looked to me like he was trying to insert himself and appear to be a part of it. I loved that Christine did not allow him to act like Super Dad and made the announcement on her own. He did not look too happy at that moment.
I’ve only seen clips of this, but Robyn has the ‘mean girl’ look in her eyes. Someone who would pretend to be your friend if you had something she wanted, but drop you & bully you when you weren’t who or what she wanted. I don’t watch it so I could be wrong, but that’s what she’s saying to me
What was with Kody saying he is not into Christine anymore so their daughter’s surgery is an ‘opportunity’ for Christine to do this on her own?! What a total flaming narcissist jackwagon. Kody he talks about his kids with each wife as though they are separate from him. So if Kody’s not interested in Christine, by association, he’s not interested in Christine’s kids.
As of last night’s show, these are five adults who enjoy being unhappy way too much and are still together because they want to be unhappy for all of eternity. ????? It’s their choice if they decide to be miserable. Glad Christine got out.
Why can't every one see the money grab by Robyn and Cody? They now need Meri's money to fund their life style...so all of a sudden they like Meri.Meri and Christine basically support them all.
So, it’s not good for Kody to be away from his other families for HIS DAUGHTER’S surgery, but it’s ok for him to be away for something Solomon had 9 years ago and is thriving now??? SMH
What is with Robin needing help to “ corral “ her kids. First of all, there are only two of them. Secondly, they are outside on acres and acres of private land. It is highly doubtful that her kids will get COVID by touching Truley. She is using COVID as an excuse to not socialize with the rest of the family.
I find it interesting Kody is now calling Janelle a princess ! I think Janelle might be the next one out tbh Meri seems to be the only one okay with being treated like crap!!!!
Meri is settling for scraps is right! He won’t even hug her. How about when Robyn had to convince him to make a s’more for her? How can Meri be happy with this setup or does she truly feel this is her cruel fate…
Jesus. Part of me feels like maybe Meri is just riding the gravy train to keep her business & BnB full. She CLEARLY was so depressed she fell for a catfish.
In regards to the “rules.” I think some of the strictness comes from Robyn, but in a subtle manipulative way so that Kody thinks that they’re his idea. Then she can run around saying they’re Kody’s rules and that she’s just doing what she can to follow them when she has been influencing him to make them.
The boys are absolutely right. Robyn wants Kody so she encourages him keep the rules so he will stay with her. My question is why aren't any it the other wives complaining about Kody being at only Robyn's house. The whole family is screwed up in so many ways it's scary.
What was up with that? Her confessionals seemed out of character. Makes me wonder, as usual, if TLC is coaching her to be less Eeyore and more spunky. Who knows.
She’s brainwashed. Meri is brainwashed completely. This is their ‘true’ culture. Subservience. Deference to the man. Can anyone give Meri a dip of ice cream to go with her misogynistic ruled life?
I Don’t Blame Any Of The Other Older Kids For Feeling Like They No Longer Matter As It Sure Looks This Way! Remember The Older Kids Are Used To Sharing Kody’s Time So That Explains A lot When The Older Kids Say On Camera They No Longer Care About Him! I’m Sure They Feel Fatherless & A Bit Betrayed
My daughter had RSV when she was 4mo. She was a very healthy baby up to that point. She ended up in the hospital, in the pediatratic ICU. She was sick with one lung infection after another for 2 years after. But she got over it! Most kids have had RSV. But it's no worse than a bad cold for them. My daughter is 28 now and has also had covid. She was sick but she got over it just fine. This whole thing is Robin! You could tell that from the start. That's why Cody ignored everyone but Robin and her kids. Christine does not want to be stuck in a house up on the hill watching Kody having a good relationship with Robin and everyone else trying to be happy with crumbs. I have a lot of respect for her right now!!
Robin was rude and snarky about Janelle. Robin was ridiculous yelling to stay away from truly. That really will make truly feel real bad.It was so nice to see Kody treat Meri better then he has in a long time.
Young Gab is speaking so much truth… he sees what’s happening and his mum knows it too… she however is loyal to the principal but she knows her son is correct
Robyn is the worst. It seems like ever since she entered into the family, it’s gone down. She’s never respected Christine, Jenelle or Meri. The fact that she kissed him before marriage tells you that. Christine has a problem with it right away, which is valid, because it’s a part of their religion and their courting rules each of the other wives followed.
Kody’s dysfunction with his wives extends to the relationships with his children he has with them. It’s so evident. Everyone is an extension of him and his needs and wants. I mean the language he uses…calling his wives two princesses and saying he’s no longer the head of his own households. What does he expect when he treats his wives (Christine, Meri and Janelle) and their kids like second class citizens. This dude is so passive aggressive because he’s lost control of them but at his own doing! Yet he blames them and plays the victim! Total narcissistic abuse. He gaslighted Christine about moving to Utah in front of all the other wives when he was interested in moving back too! I can’t stand Kody. He makes my skin crawl and creeps me the fuck out. Thank god Christine had the foresight to leave him.
Honestly, Robyn should just keep him 😂👌 he is a piece of garbage in my opinion. They are a match: Kody+Robyn=🗑💩 All the other wives should just leave and the show should be renamed to "surviving sisters" retelling their escape from a cult, drop Kody and stop funding his egocentric lifestyle.
Kody son was right on the money about Robin..... I have MS and a blood disorder. I have had my vacine and has not gotten it. I still wash my hands alot and wear my mask everytime I'm out.
After this episode I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT IS ROBIN. Cody asked her for permission & SHE was the ONLY one screaming about social distancing. The producer and the director edited this episode exactly that way to SHOW WHO WAS RUNNING THINGS.
I did not pick up the sassy ness from Robin till I te watched it again cause I was so disturbed about how Cody checked out on the barbecue and was over it and Robin was acting the police 👮♀️. And everyone saw the true colors there…
Did anyone notice when Christine had Cody sign VERY important papers for their daughters surgery? He looked like he didnt give a damn and yelled at Christine "SOCIAL DISTANCING" and she said "Ohh okay sorry" Really? I wouldve grabbed those papers and told him to kiss ** ***
Kody didn't have a problem leaving Christine ready to give birth for a two week honeymoon with Robyn!!! He should lose all his children and be stuck with Robyn for the rest of his life with the old bat. Robyn is a liar, a dictator and so selfish. Meri is pathetic!!! They only want your money honey
Yes, I agree. She wants WAY more attention on HER kids. This RSV thing, the daughter with her panic attacks, which I get cause I suffer…but Kody was super babying her about it. I mean it was about moving, when they were already warned way before that it would happen. But anyway. And Christines daughter has to have surgery, yet he won’t be with her? 💁🏻♀️ if Robin over reacts about ALL THE KIDS EQUALLY, where’s her support for Christines daughter? Demanding Kody go for her. At least for a bit.
I’m convinced that Kody has used these women as brood mares. As soon as they no longer can have children, he packs up and leaves. This is not marriage! Marriage is a lifelong commitment. The man disgusts me.
Robyn has been uptight since day one. Sobbing Robyn and let’s be real Ari is what 4 years old? If they want to quarantine then don’t do a family BBQ because Kody and Robyn are both narcissistic and perfect for each other
@@helixmoore7636 I think you're 100% correct, especially in this religion, where men are considered the "head of household", which is an absolute joke, since they're usually completely useless and do nothing like Cody. He's not an exception, he's the rule. So if they're the "head of the household" then they bear the responsibility.
@@ShellL right! Like what the hell does black clothes have to do with anything?! She's acting like Janelle wore nothing but nipple pasties when discussing her wearing black. She don't tell you what to wear or where to go so let her do and wear what she likes! Sobyn Robyn drives me insane and has such a holier than thou attitude! 😡
Gabe is correct! Kody you need to be with your daughter when she has her surgery!! Reguardless of what is going on your child needs you and you need to do right, by the way if you truly are supposed to be head of your family then start have a heart for your kids for once and put the wives on the back burner til your daughter is healing !!!!
While his daughter was undergoing risky, delicate surgery, Robyn had him take her on a $15k shopping trip to Victoria's Secret. Neither one of them wore masks.
Something else that I saw on this episode that was really sad & pathetic was when Kody paid Meri a visit. Unfortunately Meri read so much into this visit....hoping that their relationship is heading for greener pastures. Kody has spelled it out & plainly said it so many times to Meri....that they're only friends at best, but there is no hope of any love or romance for her in the future. He feels nothing for her except what he must for the ratings, money & for the show's sake. Secondly the making of the smore took the cake. Geez, here Meri is, acting like Kody had given her a diamond ring. And yet Meri knew & acknowledged full & well that it was Robyn who prodded Kody to do this good deed. Meri acts like a beaten dog who whimpers in hopes for love from Kody, with any kind gesture does. Even if he isn't behind the good deeds (Sobyn is). Its sick & sad ....and I, along with everyone else am wondering when she will ever wise up?
While I totally agree that Meri is pathetic with her thing for Kody, you have to remember, it is her fault that her relationship is the way it is, she cheated on Kody, there is no other way to say it. She planned on leaving him for the person she thought she was talking to. She needs to love on and run her BnB and wait for grand baby’s. You can tell the older kids will still be in her life.
@@lucinda8802 some one who truly loved her partner. Excuses are like butt holes, everyone has one and they don’t smell good. She cheated, that’s it, she needs to move on.
I think it’s all Robyn with the COVID stuff and Kody goes along with it Bc she’s his true love and bc he’s so narcissistic he gets pissed that people don’t listen to him. Love your channel!!
I just really don't feel sorry for Meri anymore. Some of the comments she made about Kody wanting to talk to her. Nothing is going to help her relationship with him. It's been over for a long time Meri. She likes playing the victim. Unless it's all for the show???
I don’t feel sorry for her at all, she did it to herself, she had plans to leave Kody for the person she thought she was talking to. She cheated on him. There’s no other way to say it, she needs to move on. The other two og wife’s and their children seem to love and want her around so she will still have them, and her daughter.
You're mistaken. Meri is doing what she was taught to do from her earliest days, growing up in the FLDS cult. You should read up on Rulon and Warren Jeffs. Meri was systematically brainwashed into accepting polygamy: a misogynist "family" system, in which women & children are marginalized & taught to accept whatever crumbs the patriarch deigns to toss them.
Sobbin Robyn made it clear last episode she's the one telling Cody how to think and word things to the other wives. So she don't look like the bad person . She's a master manipulater willing to sacrifice all Cody's relationships with wives and kids for her own selfish needs
I dont know how much more of Kody I can take watching. He makes me feel physically ill when I see him and how he speaks to and treats his wives and children. I hope for the whole family's sake this show is just as scripted as the other ones and they are just acting like fools for the ratings. My heart went out to Christine last night....you could tell she was really hurting.
Robyn has major anxiety because she has paranoia over every issue in her life. She questions everything and every moment of her life. Always bringing up moments that she seems scared by. Anything that brings a challenge in her life seems to be used as excuses to create walls around herself and her kids. Which causes her to distance herself from others. This circles back as opportunities for attention from Kody and excuses for her to wine over things. In short her anxiety has made her a manipulative person in a effort to protect herself.
I’ve always kind of thought that Robyn was an emotional manipulator, often throughout the seasons one wife would be expressing their feelings and almost predictably here comes Robyn with the water works stealing the attention, needing reassurance. Who knows, but I think Gabe is completely right, they are Robyn’s rules and Kody just enforces them.
Oh please it’s not Robyn who obeys, she is running the show! I have watched her ruin the dynamic of their family with her subtle manipulation that has now turned into complete control of him and therefore the entire family. Can you imagine not going with your child to a surgery on the spine? It’s disgusting!
but she loves to play the "victim" and cry that this is not what she wanted, she wants the plural family, etc., etc., etc., when in fact she took complete advantage of getting Kody's complete attention and devotion. However, now that the other women are moving away in one fashion are another, she is seeing that she is going to be stuck with Kody all the time, she is panicking.........
No one should settle for what Meri has settled for in this relationship. It's awful.
Its terrible the way she is treated by that man.
We get what we allow.
Oh, bull puckey. Meri is no angel and she most certainly is no victim. She is calculating and manipulative and she is just playing a part at this point. She supposedly makes butt loads of money from her pyramid scheme crap. She also supposedly does very well with her B & B. She leads a very independent life, travels, seems to have lots of friends outside the family circle, and all she has to do is to show up for a few weeks out of the year for filming and gets another substantial paycheck. She's laughing at her fans all the way to the bank.
@@janissauncy7019 Exactly. It is a TV show.
@@juliaaltizer9588 It is a t.v. show and Meri is a fraud.

And yet he carries Robyn's girl to her room when she has a mental melt down. Very strange. Indeed.
It was at that point that I even stopped trying to be like maybe hes not terrible and part is the wives.. Nope its him.. He could have went with his daughter 100% if Janelle can go to her grandkid and then quarantine he could to, he just cant stand to be away from Robyn
When your wife tells you your daughter's pain level is at an 8, on a scale of 1-10, and has been for MONTHS, and you do nothing but lope back into your regular life.....you're not a parent anymore. I don't know what you are, but not a parent.
What goes around comes around Ko 🍵 and 😭Sobyn Robyn
I couldnt believe that either....at least mask up, hold your breath and hug and go home and shower and wash your clothes if you feel like you got contaminated! But to not hug your own child before a MAJOR surgery and when you arent going to see them for 2 months??!! That is very telling.
I believe as the children get older they're realizing that Kody is not an involved father! Eventually they'll all separate from Kody! Meri please open your eyes! You deserve better!
If I were Ysabel, I'd never get over how her "dad" handled her pain and surgery. Gabriel is 100% correct. Nice try Janelle, but they see through his bs
I like Meri a lot.
I suspect that already they feel that way & when the cameras are off, they show it. You know we really don't see many of the kids anymore & not all have moved away.
It really irritated me what Robin said about Janelle and her "dark makeup and clothes" like are you kidding me?? So what! Janelle is an excellent mother who loves and takes care of her children. What is wrong with one time going out and actually having fun for herself? That's crazy to me.
Yeah, that pissed me off, too. She acts like OMG, can you believe she did that?!!! Yes. I can. It’s normal.
Yeah, my eyes were twitching when she said that…. Her and Kody absolutely are two peas n a pod.. Since day one he pretty much threw Mari, Janelle and Christine to the streets once he started courting Robin
Robyn is a prude.
Robin wants to suck the life out of everyone.
I LOVE that Janelle has a rocker spirit .These women are so cool and interesting 😎
You don’t get to be head of household with people you have no relationship with. That’s your fault Cody.
This 👏🏼
Preach 🙌
Man, ten years of marriage to Kody have been rough af on Robin. She’s aging pretty harshly. I can’t believe she’s my age. Her face does not scream happiness.
I thought the same thing. She used to be pretty, but Her face looks weird now compared to how she used to look. I think it's having kids and gaining a bit of weight too.
They all need to run.
@@helixmoore7636 Yep. That plural marriage thing is for the birds.
I think is a thyroid issue 🤔 because she used to be really skinny and now seams to be like swollen. I don't know, maybe is just age, but yeah her face change a lot
But its the eyebrows that bother me the most, like a Picasso painting 🤨
Robin has resting frowned face😒 that's her smiling.
The reason Kody is being nice to Meri now and Robyn even encouraged him to make Meri a s’mores is that they need her financial contribution to the family since neither of them contribute!
Lol the show brings in there money !! You do know this is a TV show lol 😆
I don't think they get paid all year round. I think it's only when the show airs or when filming, but I'm not sure.
@@sonyaberry9805 I'm pretty sure they make 375000 annually.
@@whateverheather655 They do & it has to be divided up. But Janelle & Meri still have well paying jobs. Neither Cody or Robyn have a job. They just leech from the other wives.
@@elenaescocia2479 not defending Cotex be uase I can't stand him . But doesn't he have sometime of investment firm or something like that? If they are only making 375 grand a year they are really getting ripped off given how many years they have been doing this. I know Meri has a bed and breakfast what does Janell do ,?
Gabe saying 'is this dad or Robyn?', and 'if after 2 weeks he still doesn't come to see us then we know it was just an excuse' speaks volumes. I love the fact that he speaks the truth, that he sees through the bullshit and that he's not afraid to call his dad out for it!!!!
Kody is a hypocrite, Robyn makes the decisions and then hides behind it as if Kody made the rules. I pray Meri and Janelle get out and leave those 2 together!
Kody and Robyn have used covid to their advantage to live the life they want to live.
All of that is definitely true high-fived to gabe man calling out his father on bullshit or I’m sorry the man who created him because you can’t really call Cody his father He’s hardly ever around and what kind of father does that no father I know and he is a total hypocrite Cody is a total hypocrite and Robin makes the decisions and hides behind Cody as if he made the decision she makes him believe he made the decision you know why because it makes “him feel like a man” and he’s head of the household bullshit like that let’s Down to the nitty-gritty of this we all know this isn’t real their idea of marriage isn’t real and we all know for women one man yeah that’s gonna work in hell it’s gonna work
Watching this episode it seems so obvious that Robin is definitely the one making a big deal out of no one being around each other. So much that Kody chose her and her kids over his daughter having surgery. She was the one who needed him the most in that moment but he said no. According to Robins rules he couldn’t be around her for weeks. He chose who meant the most to him in that moment. I don’t blame Christine for leaving his arse. Janelles kids can see what is really happening...why can’t she?
That part where Robyn said Meri shouldn’t be close to the kids made me really think that all these rules are from Robyn more than Kody.
Agree!💯
That's what one of the boys said.
Yes. This episode just pointed a huge finger at Robin. She’s the one running everything. I did notice she tells him what to do but then adds in to do it in a way that doesn’t comes off as such. Maybe you should say it this way.
The producer and the director edited this episode exactly that way to SHOW WHO WAS RUNNING THINGS.
She wears the pants.
It makes me sad to hear Meri talk. She gets so excited just to have him call and want to talk. In the end he made her a s’more because Robyn told him to, and she was still over the moon because he did it. She deserves so much more. She gets no physical contact, no hugs or kisses, and Kody doesn’t seem to want to change that. Kody just wants Robyn, it’s plain as day, and the kids can see through the BS.
Robin seemed to be thrilled to let everyone know SHE told him to make the s’more for Meri!
I don’t feel bad for Meri ONE bit. She has ZERO excuses for not leaving Kody…. Zero. She has one kid who is grown up and moved away. Nothing is holding her back. She isn’t even home half of the time- she’s always out traveling. If Christine with children under 18 can do it, Meri can. Meri is just weak and pathetic.
This is nothing but a drama fest created for the money this show brings in. Most of the women arnt even real sister wives and I think the only reason the show is still going is for financial gain.
Pathetic.
They give polygamy a bad rap.
I use to feel bad for Meri, but now, I see her as just sad. She looks pretty pathetic hanging around waiting for scraps from Kody. She is so desperate for attention from him. I don't ever see her waking up to the fact that she deserves more. Also, I really can't stand Robyn. She plays a game. She is incredibly judgemental and it has to be all about her. I'm glad at least one woke up and walked away from Kody and Robyn.
I love Meri, she is my favorite on the show!
Have to blame her mom for that one. Her mom was a big Kody supporter I hear.
Meri brought all of this on herself. She brought Robyn in to get back at Christine & Janelle. Meri made her bed she can lay in it.
Gabe is dead on. He is not stupid. He sees it too. Like “they” say, as we get older, we tend to see our parents for who they truly are.
Also, it really irks me how Robin talks in circles to make herself look “innocent”…and then will cry during her interviews. 🙄
Meri is such a yawn. She’ll never leave him. Sad.
Obviously he is only romantic with Robin…just like she wants it. And funny how she’ll (Robin) will throw scraps to Meri 😂 So insane.
Robyn doesn’t perceive Meri as a threat.
Spot on!
@@mrsmack213 EXACTLY
I feel it's always been clear the older children,most of them, aren't fans of Robyn and never have been. They just may be more willing to express it now that they're older/adults. Which I can't blame them for how they feel. I think Christine and Janelle are the 2 moms the older ones like.
Totally agree!!!!!!!
I actually loved hearing that Janelle went out to rock concerts I thought that was so awesome for her
Good for her!
Get rid of Christine
Totally broke my heart when the kids were being yelled at like that for getting “too close” to their siblings. Chill out kody FFS
I did not see the episode. Because of how unreal Kody is
It was Robin screaming the entire time & then she made Kody start screaming so she "didn't look like the bad guy"
My issue with the episode is Robyn complaining about watching her two kids… like hunny you had them… they are your responsibility… we all know kody is a hands off dude just looks like he helps but doesn’t. You shouldn’t of had two lil kids if you weren’t ready to parent them all the way through! You are they’re mother get over it lady
Stay home
(S)mother of the year . Award goes to...... Sobin Brown!!! 🏆Lol
@@GertieB-d4t Maybe polygamy genetics could be at play. I once thought Truly was learning disabled. Not so much now. I loved it when Truly told Kody off. When Kody was trying to teach her to ride a bike.🚴🏼♀️
Prior to moving to Arizona Robyn had her niece living with her that helped with kids. Seeing what I see. She doesn’t work. No reason she cannot watch her kids. But she’s had a LOT of help. A lot.
I don’t think Robyn can handle life. She don’t work and always had someone to help with the kids.
I feel a little mean saying this, but I don't think Robyn is a good mother in some respects. I know she loves her kids, don't get me wrong, but she babies them and doesn't help them deal with their emotions. She falls apart when they do, and this is an awful parenting trait. I know. I had a mom (whom I loved dearly) who couldn't deal with my fear or sadness when I was very young. It reminds me so much of Robyn.
Robyn's kids are having meltdowns and "panic attacks" because of Robyn's inability in this area. My guess is that Robyn freaks out when her kids get emotionally overwhelmed. This teaches her kids that emotions are scary and are something they (and mom) can't control, hence the panic attacks of her older daughter and meltdowns of the younger ones.
I agree with you. They also see her crying at the drop of a hat.
I thought the same thing. The question is how are they going to deal with life when the challenges are truly difficult?
And let’s contrast this to the children raised by Christine (those that are biologically hers and those that are not). Honestly there is a world of difference!
Robyn is allergic to fun.
She has zero sense of humor and I cringe when she does her “funny” voice. Stop. Just stop.
And good fashion sense
Robyn has a way of making Cody believe that he’s the boss but is actually running the show. She has a talent for turning the tables. She’s taken what Cody likes and used it to her advantage and he’s so lost he doesn’t even see it. They deserve each other. The other wives that are still there need to open their eyes and haul ass. That’s probably what Robyn wants anyway. I think she has a master plan
She uses NLP
I agree with Janelles son. Robin and her kids get all of Kodys attention. Robin is always crying and her kids are so needy. She even said her kids are so attached to Kody they couldn't make it without him being there all the time.
Yeah. Notice he hugs her kids, but can't hug the others? Really? I call bullshit. Sad.
I love Janelle she has such a fun energy and such a great spirit
I've never liked Janelle very much. I don't hate her or anything but I don't get why she sold herself short and has been sharing a man for over 20 years. She's a doormat.
Janelle did say her and Cody were not romantic.
I'm not 100% sure "Kody's rules" didn't originate with Robyn.
Completely Robyn
I think robyn follows them bc she doesn't want kody to toss her to the side like he's done with the others. She's doing all she knows to do to hang on to her relationship with him
I think Robyn is using Solomons RSV as an excuse to keep Kody away from the other wives.
Exactly
Yes
Of course Robin is , running the show.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Gabriel is super insightful! 👏 👏
Robin likes these rules because it keeps her family close and all the other families at a instance. Everyone’s on to her ways
Robyn 😭 Sobyn is only about HER, I Repeat Her Children and Ko 🍵
What sealed the deal that it wasn't just about safety was the fact that Meri was being completely safe and Robyn still didn't want her around the kids
Yeh and “the kids can’t be without u for 2weeks” or when she’s on her own drive they make out he’s only just turned up to property to collect tools and not living there 100% of the time. Or that the rules aren’t all Robyn too.
Kody has nothing in common with any of these 'wives' other then boring Robyn.
Robyn MANipulates him....She clearly the issue.
Robyn is very manipulative...
She's the one that's actually in charge
Yes! And I think the only reason she has a “good friendship” with Meri is so she can look like she’s playing nice. Robyn knows full well that Cody won’t have any sort of romantic relationship with Meri. It is easier for her to be friendly with Meri. Meri isn’t a threat.
Robyn kept making sure Kody knew she was following “his rules” and everyone else isn’t. She’s pathetic.
Seems like they should be more concerned about Truley than Solomon. She was way sicker than he was.
Thank you!! She is truly the forgotten child by everyone outside of Christine’s household. Literally no one else seems to care about her, even though she’s been the sickest in the last 10 years. How is this possible? Good for Christine for admitting that her kids have always been put last a few years back and that she knows she has to advocate for them or no one else will. That’s a very hard thing to come to grips with. Janelle’s kids seem to be coming to this realization as well…it’s so sad.
Truly was badly dehydrated and Solomon had rsv which says, virus which causes mild cold flu like symptoms and lasts 1-2 weeks.
It’s not like he has unstable asthma or heart trouble. And truly hasn’t had kidney failure and or transplant, which would cause concern.
Truely was admitted to the hospital for acute kidney failure and dehydration She was started on abdominal dialysis, and was not expected to survive. After eleven days in the hospital, Truely was able to return home.
@@serzy8373 RSV can be deadly to infants, but go on.
@@serzy8373 but Truely needs to be mindful ALL her life about having had severe kidney problems. Apparently Solomon breezed thru RSV w no long lasting effects like asthma or repeatedly being hospitalized w pneumonia. Robyn was downfall of this family. At the same time TLC was looking at the Browns, they were also looking at the Dargers for a show. I believe the Dargers are too functional and they knew the Browns would deliver drama and ratings, especially when they added Sobbin Robyn and 3 kids from different father.
Robyn has always struck me as a sneaky snake since Kody was courting her.
I hope Meri and Janelle make their escape someday. I'm so happy for Christine!
He would have gone to the surgery if it was for one of Robyn’s kids.
I, too, have been reluctant to jump on the hate Robyn bandwagon but that comment by Gabe caught my attention as well. Not because I have a particular beef against her, but sometimes people just want to look for a scapegoat and I wasn't sure that Robyn deserved to be that scapegoat. But that comment by Gabe kind of caught me off-guard. And if you watch the scene between Roby and Kody in their driveway really closely, I think she flat out manipulates Kody into thinking that all these thoughts and concerns that are going through HER head are actually HIS. And it's like she concedes and does a dramatic sigh and says she will go along with Kody's rules. I think I just had my eyes opened. I think there is no question Robyn is really the one pulling the strings after all. lol
Yes! Thanks - caught that too!
The family was doing fine until Robin came along. Can't stand her or her kids
YEP!!! BINGO!!! IT OPENED MY EYES TOO!!! Then I went back and watched old scenes it is ROBIN 100%!!!!!!
Kody could have went for the surgery and been there for it and a day or two after and then went back to see the other family. You show someone you love them by how you treat them and by spending time with them. Robyn is the only one he prioritizes. I hope he marries another wife younger and then she can see how all the others were treated.
Robyn also said she had pneumonia ONCE! I laughed out loud. I have been hospitalized 10 times with pneumonia. My dr was concerned and just told me to self isolate. Robyn is either a hypochondriac or using Covid as an excuse to keep Kody to herself.
I wonder........ if Robyn was the only “wife” left, (she won) and a wealthy, famous guy propositioned her, would she just up and leave Cody too? What’s the true story behind her ex? I find her to be very disrespectful to the other women, and I feel she had a game plan all along.
Robyn has been disrespectful from day one. The fact that she kissed Kody before marriage, but wants to preach her religion is bullshit.
@@Brosey88 don’t forget she felt like she deserved every fourth night with Kody because “he needed to get to know her kids and she moved up there to be with them…” like sis he has a newborn baby at home, he shouldn’t be with you.
What a emotional MESS!! :) What amazed me is Kody wouldnt go to his own daughters surgery because he said it would take too much time away from his family?? ISNT SHE HIS FAMILY???
It is really interesting watching this now knowing that Christine left and you can see the changes. I also love when Christine said that she has been going over to Janelle’s house even though Kody doesn’t want that!
It is unforgivable that he didn’t attend the surgery. Robin has two sister wives there so aren’t they supposed to help her? His excuse that they “need” him is total BS. He just didn’t care enough and wanted to be with Robin.
Listening to Meri makes me feel so sad. I don’t know if she’s joking or not, but she seems sincere in being so overly excited about Kody even coming over.
I know, how sad is that? To be excited about such a tiny crumb of attention.
I feel she was being super sarcastic or just show boating for the sake of the show and for the sake of making money from the show! Meri is too smart to act like a kid being excited like she would for Santa Claus! I feel Meri is just over it.
Apparently if you check her IG she no longer follows any other family members other than Mariah……
I agree it is so sad. She is excited and willing to take any crumbs :(
@@verityfraser4715 perhaps it just hurts too much to see the other relationships?
Katie did you notice what Kody was doing when Christine made the announcement about Ysabel’s surgery? 😂 He looked to me lost and felt left out so he got in the camera but since he was obviously not involved with the decision, he looked to me like he was trying to insert himself and appear to be a part of it. I loved that Christine did not allow him to act like Super Dad and made the announcement on her own. He did not look too happy at that moment.
hey sometimes the decisions have to be made without him & the announcements without letting him know first lol.. Which is a good..
I noticed that also! I immediately side-eyed Kody and saw right through his tactic.
Robyn needs to stay sweet with Meri because she supports her lifestyle.
I’ve only seen clips of this, but Robyn has the ‘mean girl’ look in her eyes. Someone who would pretend to be your friend if you had something she wanted, but drop you & bully you when you weren’t who or what she wanted.
I don’t watch it so I could be wrong, but that’s what she’s saying to me
What was with Kody saying he is not into Christine anymore so their daughter’s surgery is an ‘opportunity’ for Christine to do this on her own?! What a total flaming narcissist jackwagon. Kody he talks about his kids with each wife as though they are separate from him. So if Kody’s not interested in Christine, by association, he’s not interested in Christine’s kids.
Someone deserves a whooping! Maybe a beat down!
Cody couldn’t aford taken care of robin and their kids. He need the other women money.
100%!!!!!
Exactly
And they gave it freely. Dum dums.
As of last night’s show, these are five adults who enjoy being unhappy way too much and are still together because they want to be unhappy for all of eternity. ????? It’s their choice if they decide to be miserable. Glad Christine got out.
Why can't every one see the money grab by Robyn and Cody? They now need Meri's money to fund their life style...so all of a sudden they like Meri.Meri and Christine basically support them all.
So, it’s not good for Kody to be away from his other families for HIS DAUGHTER’S surgery, but it’s ok for him to be away for something Solomon had 9 years ago and is thriving now??? SMH
What is with Robin needing help to “ corral “ her kids. First of all, there are only two of them. Secondly, they are outside on acres and acres of private land. It is highly doubtful that her kids will get COVID by touching Truley. She is using COVID as an excuse to not socialize with the rest of the family.
I find it interesting Kody is now calling Janelle a princess ! I think Janelle might be the next one out tbh Meri seems to be the only one okay with being treated like crap!!!!
They are not Kody's rules, they are Robyns!! But they pretend it's him so the other wives can't say much.
Meri is settling for scraps is right! He won’t even hug her. How about when Robyn had to convince him to make a s’more for her? How can Meri be happy with this setup or does she truly feel this is her cruel fate…
Jesus. Part of me feels like maybe Meri is just riding the gravy train to keep her business & BnB full. She CLEARLY was so depressed she fell for a catfish.
It's not even scraps, it's crumbs.
He needs her income, of course he's fine with her now.
Sadly, I think the latter is true.
In regards to the “rules.” I think some of the strictness comes from Robyn, but in a subtle manipulative way so that Kody thinks that they’re his idea. Then she can run around saying they’re Kody’s rules and that she’s just doing what she can to follow them when she has been influencing him to make them.
Exactly. Kody was asking Robyn’s permission!!
The boys are absolutely right. Robyn wants Kody so she encourages him keep the rules so he will stay with her. My question is why aren't any it the other wives complaining about Kody being at only Robyn's house. The whole family is screwed up in so many ways it's scary.
It was so disturbing seeing Meri get so excited and hopeful when Kody goes to visit her. Very, very sad.
It's all an act. Every time someone feels sorry for her, she sells more cheap-ass made-in-China pyramid scheme clothes. lol
What was up with that? Her confessionals seemed out of character. Makes me wonder, as usual, if TLC is coaching her to be less Eeyore and more spunky. Who knows.
@@jackie7610 entirely possible!
Agree! Sooo weird!
It amazing how Mary justifies staying in this hurtful relationship.🙄
Meri is playing the long game. Of this relationship.
She is pathetic
She’s brainwashed. Meri is brainwashed completely. This is their ‘true’ culture. Subservience. Deference to the man. Can anyone give Meri a dip of ice cream to go with her misogynistic ruled life?
I Don’t Blame Any Of The Other Older Kids For Feeling Like They No Longer Matter As It Sure Looks This Way! Remember The Older Kids Are Used To Sharing Kody’s Time So That Explains A lot When The Older Kids Say On Camera They No Longer Care About Him! I’m Sure They Feel Fatherless & A Bit Betrayed
My daughter had RSV when she was 4mo. She was a very healthy baby up to that point. She ended up in the hospital, in the pediatratic ICU. She was sick with one lung infection after another for 2 years after. But she got over it! Most kids have had RSV. But it's no worse than a bad cold for them. My daughter is 28 now and has also had covid. She was sick but she got over it just fine.
This whole thing is Robin! You could tell that from the start. That's why Cody ignored everyone but Robin and her kids.
Christine does not want to be stuck in a house up on the hill watching Kody having a good relationship with Robin and everyone else trying to be happy with crumbs. I have a lot of respect for her right now!!
Robin was rude and snarky about Janelle. Robin was ridiculous yelling to stay away from truly. That really will make truly feel real bad.It was so nice to see Kody treat Meri better then he has in a long time.
Young Gab is speaking so much truth… he sees what’s happening and his mum knows it too… she however is loyal to the principal but she knows her son is correct
Robyn is the worst. It seems like ever since she entered into the family, it’s gone down. She’s never respected Christine, Jenelle or Meri. The fact that she kissed him before marriage tells you that. Christine has a problem with it right away, which is valid, because it’s a part of their religion and their courting rules each of the other wives followed.
This is what Robyn wanted all along!!
I don’t feel sorry for Meri anymore. She is choosing to stay
Poor Meri was brought up and brainwashed in this FLDS insanity. There is an old saying: "You do what you know."
Kody’s dysfunction with his wives extends to the relationships with his children he has with them. It’s so evident. Everyone is an extension of him and his needs and wants. I mean the language he uses…calling his wives two princesses and saying he’s no longer the head of his own households. What does he expect when he treats his wives (Christine, Meri and Janelle) and their kids like second class citizens. This dude is so passive aggressive because he’s lost control of them but at his own doing! Yet he blames them and plays the victim! Total narcissistic abuse. He gaslighted Christine about moving to Utah in front of all the other wives when he was interested in moving back too! I can’t stand Kody. He makes my skin crawl and creeps me the fuck out. Thank god Christine had the foresight to leave him.
I must say that Janelle has good looking kids , Janelle you should listen to Gabe because he sees what you don't see about Robyn..
Oh, I think Janelle agrees with Gabe wholeheartedly. She’s just being pseudo-diplomatic for appearances.
I absolutely love the relationship between Janelle and Christine. They are true friends and keep the kids first, always!
Well 12 of 15 of his children are sitting at the table..are from Christine and Janelle.
@@annmarienew6125 good point!
@Molly Joy. I agree and Christine look after Janelle's kids when they were little and Janelle worked
I think it’s all Robyn. She wants kody to her self. Why I have no idea. Kody should go on the trip with Isabel.
Honestly, Robyn should just keep him 😂👌 he is a piece of garbage in my opinion. They are a match:
Kody+Robyn=🗑💩
All the other wives should just leave and the show should be renamed to "surviving sisters" retelling their escape from a cult, drop Kody and stop funding his egocentric lifestyle.
Kody son was right on the money about Robin..... I have MS and a blood disorder. I have had my vacine and has not gotten it. I still wash my hands alot and wear my mask everytime I'm out.
God Bless you.
I can't believe Meri is so happy to talk to Cody. He is circling the wagons to get all the other wives against Christine. Cody is out to please Robyn!
Why couldn't the three youngest wear masks to play together? They are all old enough to tolerate a mask.
I think it's such bull shit that Meri is being completely safe and still can't see Robyn kids that makes no sense
After this episode I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT IS ROBIN. Cody asked her for permission & SHE was the ONLY one screaming about social distancing. The producer and the director edited this episode exactly that way to SHOW WHO WAS RUNNING THINGS.
The kids are speaking up 🗣 Good for them for calling Robyn out
why does robyn need help with the kids??? she only has 2 small kids....
Yeah what's up with that ? Why doesn't the ( Robyn's ) older children lend a hand in the young children wrangling ?
People always tend to have more kids then they can handle unfortunately.
I did not pick up the sassy ness from Robin till I te watched it again cause I was so disturbed about how Cody checked out on the barbecue and was over it and Robin was acting the police 👮♀️. And everyone saw the true colors there…
Next time they can stay home
Did anyone notice when Christine had Cody sign VERY important papers for their daughters surgery? He looked like he didnt give a damn and yelled at Christine "SOCIAL DISTANCING" and she said "Ohh okay sorry" Really? I wouldve grabbed those papers and told him to kiss ** ***
Kody didn't have a problem leaving Christine ready to give birth for a two week honeymoon with Robyn!!! He should lose all his children and be stuck with Robyn for the rest of his life with the old bat. Robyn is a liar, a dictator and so selfish. Meri is pathetic!!! They only want your money honey
Absolutely love your breakdown on the kody show. Those women need to get a grip xx
Yes, I agree. She wants WAY more attention on HER kids. This RSV thing, the daughter with her panic attacks, which I get cause I suffer…but Kody was super babying her about it. I mean it was about moving, when they were already warned way before that it would happen. But anyway. And Christines daughter has to have surgery, yet he won’t be with her? 💁🏻♀️ if Robin over reacts about ALL THE KIDS EQUALLY, where’s her support for Christines daughter? Demanding Kody go for her. At least for a bit.
I’m convinced that Kody has used these women as brood mares. As soon as they no longer can have children, he packs up and leaves. This is not marriage! Marriage is a lifelong commitment. The man disgusts me.
Youre 100% correct.
And Robyn is just about getting to the age where Kody will be looking for his next victim (wife)
100%!!!
They have always been nothing more than sources of income for work-phobic Kody.
But he is away from all the other family. This is a life changing surgery you couldn't keep me away, what a jerk! Don't get it.
OMG! Janell went to rock concerts. Sobbin needs to get the stick out and chill out
THE BOYS ARE RIGHT, GARRETT AND GARISSON. AND GOOD FOR YOU ISSABELL ON YOUR SURGERY AND THE TAT!!!
Robyn has been uptight since day one. Sobbing Robyn and let’s be real Ari is what 4 years old? If they want to quarantine then don’t do a family BBQ because Kody and Robyn are both narcissistic and perfect for each other
I think constantly blaming her is unfair. Hes 100% the problem
@@helixmoore7636 OK I don’t think she’s 100% of the problem but she plays a big part in it
@@helixmoore7636 I think you're 100% correct, especially in this religion, where men are considered the "head of household", which is an absolute joke, since they're usually completely useless and do nothing like Cody. He's not an exception, he's the rule. So if they're the "head of the household" then they bear the responsibility.
Yes exactly. Keep your kids at home.
Robyn and her children have anxiety and panic attacks. Kody appears to have the same problems.
Janelle went to concerts?! How dare she live her life! I'm gonna get the vapors! 😒 grow up Robyn!
You don’t understand. She wore BLACK. (I have NO idea?). Robyn is a Master Manipulator.
@@ShellL right! Like what the hell does black clothes have to do with anything?! She's acting like Janelle wore nothing but nipple pasties when discussing her wearing black. She don't tell you what to wear or where to go so let her do and wear what she likes! Sobyn Robyn drives me insane and has such a holier than thou attitude! 😡
Robyn is definitely a wet blanket.
They could have let the kids play. They were outside, no one is sick, and they could have worn masks during and used sanitizer before they played.
Gabe is correct! Kody you need to be with your daughter when she has her surgery!!
Reguardless of what is going on your child needs you and you need to do right, by the way if you truly are supposed to be head of your family then start have a heart for your kids for once and put the wives on the back burner til your daughter is healing !!!!
While his daughter was undergoing risky, delicate surgery, Robyn had him take her on a $15k shopping trip to Victoria's Secret. Neither one of them wore masks.
Something else that I saw on this episode that was really sad & pathetic was when Kody paid Meri a visit. Unfortunately Meri read so much into this visit....hoping that their relationship is heading for greener pastures. Kody has spelled it out & plainly said it so many times to Meri....that they're only friends at best, but there is no hope of any love or romance for her in the future. He feels nothing for her except what he must for the ratings, money & for the show's sake.
Secondly the making of the smore took the cake. Geez, here Meri is, acting like Kody had given her a diamond ring. And yet Meri knew & acknowledged full & well that it was Robyn who prodded Kody to do this good deed. Meri acts like a beaten dog who whimpers in hopes for love from Kody, with any kind gesture does. Even if he isn't behind the good deeds (Sobyn is). Its sick & sad ....and I, along with everyone else am wondering when she will ever wise up?
While I totally agree that Meri is pathetic with her thing for Kody, you have to remember, it is her fault that her relationship is the way it is, she cheated on Kody, there is no other way to say it. She planned on leaving him for the person she thought she was talking to. She needs to love on and run her BnB and wait for grand baby’s. You can tell the older kids will still be in her life.
@@lucinda8802 some one who truly loved her partner. Excuses are like butt holes, everyone has one and they don’t smell good. She cheated, that’s it, she needs to move on.
Go Jennelle I didn't think she had that in her. Wow
Awesome! I am so glad that she is able to find herself again
Agreed! I love that she gets to have fun and be herself
@@carol-annesomerville7880 that’s right thank goodness!!!
I think it’s all Robyn with the COVID stuff and Kody goes along with it Bc she’s his true love and bc he’s so narcissistic he gets pissed that people don’t listen to him. Love your channel!!
He is absolutely right! Kody does put Robyn and her kids above everyone else!!!
Robin is using her child as a source of attention.
Her weird kids
Shes proof why plural marriage doesnt work. Shes protecting herself.and her kids. Women werent meant to share a man.
@@helixmoore7636 Wonder how Kody would feel if one of his other wives decided they wanted a second husband since he can't be bothered?
@@southernhippie9058 I wish one of them would start sneaking around with a younger attractive man.
I just really don't feel sorry for Meri anymore. Some of the comments she made about Kody wanting to talk to her. Nothing is going to help her relationship with him. It's been over for a long time Meri. She likes playing the victim. Unless it's all for the show???
I don’t feel sorry for her at all, she did it to herself, she had plans to leave Kody for the person she thought she was talking to. She cheated on him. There’s no other way to say it, she needs to move on. The other two og wife’s and their children seem to love and want her around so she will still have them, and her daughter.
You're mistaken. Meri is doing what she was taught to do from her earliest days, growing up in the FLDS cult. You should read up on Rulon and Warren Jeffs. Meri was systematically brainwashed into accepting polygamy: a misogynist "family" system, in which women & children are marginalized & taught to accept whatever crumbs the patriarch deigns to toss them.
Sobbin Robyn made it clear last episode she's the one telling Cody how to think and word things to the other wives. So she don't look like the bad person . She's a master manipulater willing to sacrifice all Cody's relationships with wives and kids for her own selfish needs
Robin is really judgmental.
I dont know how much more of Kody I can take watching. He makes me feel physically ill when I see him and how he speaks to and treats his wives and children. I hope for the whole family's sake this show is just as scripted as the other ones and they are just acting like fools for the ratings. My heart went out to Christine last night....you could tell she was really hurting.
I think the show is somewhat scripted.
You’re 100% right about Meri settling for Kody’s crumbs. It’s disgusting!
Has anyone else noticed that Robyn shuts her eyes when she talks about the family? .... Lies, lies, lies!
Robyn has major anxiety because she has paranoia over every issue in her life. She questions everything and every moment of her life. Always bringing up moments that she seems scared by. Anything that brings a challenge in her life seems to be used as excuses to create walls around herself and her kids. Which causes her to distance herself from others. This circles back as opportunities for attention from Kody and excuses for her to wine over things. In short her anxiety has made her a manipulative person in a effort to protect herself.
Robin looked a fool! She was running around like a crazy person trying to keep the kids apart.
I’ve always kind of thought that Robyn was an emotional manipulator, often throughout the seasons one wife would be expressing their feelings and almost predictably here comes Robyn with the water works stealing the attention, needing reassurance. Who knows, but I think Gabe is completely right, they are Robyn’s rules and Kody just enforces them.
