David has eight children, and 10 grandchildren. He also has good relationships with each of them, unlike Kody. I think any of the brown family grandkids calling him Papa David is hilarious and sweet. It also serves Kody right.
Christine doesn't understand that the kids have all grown up. The mosh pit isn't a thing any more. Most of her siblings and nieces and nephews travelled to be there to celebrate Savannah. Savannah felt celebrated and special. That is all that mattered.
I think the reason she allows her kids to call him Grandpa David is because David has seen those kids more in 5 months than Cody has since they were born.
Cody just wants to be around the large family so he can be adored. He really has no interest in bonding with anybody or giving he takes no pleasure in giving.
He could have gotten out of the marriage with Meri way back with the catfishing incident if he wanted to leave and he cared about what the church thought. I fully believe he just did not want to lose her income.
For sure about the income… the legal divorce happened.. I think it was during that same … right? .. and I don’t care what Kody says. It was a big deal. It was BIG emotional deal to Meri- so very emotional. As for Kody, it opened him up to make Robyn the legal wife and that was important to him and her Robyn and I again don’t care what he says. He said nothing will change. We’ll still be spiritually married… nope that didn’t happen.. and why believe anything Kody says.. if his lips are moving, he’s lying. He and Robyn designed that storyline about the divorce/Adoption to stack their own cards. Such incredibly devious manipulation!! Gosh if I was a violent person-I’m not -I’d smack Kody and Robyn across the face with a 2 x 4…. oh well, it’s the thought that counts right?
I know there are issues with your father, but him being the leader of your old high control group, and his not disconnecting from you, still making it a priority to go to your kids graduations, is actually a really big thing, and it gives me some respect for him. Many many HCG members will cut off family that leave or talk critically about it, even low level members. That he is the entire leader, and still stays connected, is something at least.
Mel, I have a friend who is a hairdresser who is also a fan of the show. Yesterday, I sent her a picture of Kody's head where it looks like the two front curls are trying to escape from the rest of his head. He's kind of got a skin headband thing going on. So I asked her what she thought about that, and she said that he should just shave it, but that he is way too vain to do so.
Also I wonder how long it will be before Kody says something bad about Meri. re: (when he was speaking to Janelle he said " I will never say anything bad Meri ----- Again") My prediction is 5 mins after she walked out of their house.
About Meri going to England by herself.. she actually said, “WE’VE seen a lot of [things, sites].. point is she said we’ve so unless she’s talking about a singles group that she’s with it seems to me like she might not have actually gone alone.. ahhh.. It’s a mystery.
Calmness must feel so nice and warm compared to Kody’s screaming or him suspended on the chandelier to attract attention, look at me, me, me. Breanna and Savannah don’t like each other.
Did the moms ever implement quiet time or nap times for the little kids? I used to be a preschool teacher and that hour was definitely needed for both kids and the adults. I can not imagine 24/7 activity. Either physical or emotional. It does things to our systems that’s hard to correct. It can literally make you sick.
Of course, Robyn knew. Kody and Robyn planned this together from the start. They wanted to move to Flagstaff. They needed the OG3's money. And no way would Robyn allow her kids to select their own out-of-state college. Nope. Robyn selected NAU for Dayton.
People who watch the public records noticed around the time that the land was paid off that Kody and Robyn took out a second mortgage on their house. The supposition is that loan was used to pay off their portion of Coyote Pass.
Side note but I think although very close in age, Briana is a grade above Savannah. Because when they moved to flagstaff I remember Janelle saying for the first time ever they had a child alone in a school as Savannah was in 8th grade, the rest were at the high school and Sol and Truely were in elementary school.
No like I said in the first video Cody was saying where we go when we go all seasons before Q even came to the surface... I believe it's a military model from one of our branches and it was also engraved on JFk's boat bell.
Any chance you or your mother would talk about healing the ovarian cancer holistically? I’d love to hear more about that if you’d be willing to speak on it. Love the videos!
@@just_a_smalltowngirl585 thank you! There is a book called The Gerson Therapy. This book is amazing & talks about the whole process. My mom’s uncle Stanley Malstrom & Gerson were friends. They developed this program & wrote several books about it. You can probably RUclips some videos on them both as well. I know dozens of people who have healed with the assistance of these men’s work.
Yes and no. Of course they want the smart pretty ones but those can be dangerous. So the homely docile ones are good too because they will do what they are told. Most men in polygamy don't want to work so they have their wives do everything. My ex married me so young because he knew if he didn't get me pregnant right away I would get to wise and not marry him
@NotestoSelf444 I'm curious, as when I was 18/20 years old, my friend and I met someone from the LDS and he was so interested in her, a "bad girl" type who drank, smoked etc etc and was obsessed about getting her to go out with him, come to his church etc. And paid no attention at all to me (brought up in Mennonite Baptist church) ... I've always been curious, lmao. I was brought up obedient, follow the man etc etc
@ yea it’s interesting that when we are raised with such a tight control we tend to swing to the other end. I believe it’s to try and feel control over our lives.
@@NotestoSelf444 I think your point still stands though. Kody has always seemed to be conservative. It was confusing to see him go so wholeheartedly the opposite of the way a lot of conservatives went. I think it confused Janelle and her boys as well.
People have brought up the QAnon thing quite a few times, if you go back and rewatch the show, he’s been saying the “where we go when we go all” things since the beginning, way before QAnon.
Each character is loosely based on several people. I have heard this too. The author of Big Love wrote an article based on an interview with my dad and then wrote a book called The Lonely Polygamist. That book was the inspiration for Big Love. That was based around my dad. My mom had cancer (like Barb) the next wife was from the compound (like Nikki) the next wife was young & perky (like Marge) So the wives on the show were definitely based around my dads wives too.
If I recall correctly, the producer first got the idea from the picture of Joes wives on a magazine cover. Maybe they found the article about your dad while researching the idea?
@@kellydougherty7989 very possible. I confirmed with my parents so I’m sure it’s based on multiple people. Most of the characters in the show are. When it came out my dad watched the premiere with all his wives and a few news reporters. I had always wondered why they did that unlit I found out the show was based around him.
I enjoy your content a lot, but the sound is very difficult and very echoey. Plus on the RUclips there is a constant click to listen to. I really like y’all and enjoy your content, but just want you to know that if you want to really up your game and have this a viable part of your income. I think y’all could do it with some work, but the salon has got to get better in my opinion. I really like your content.
@ watching part 4 on 12 right now. I love Meri so much. I Stan for her. So many others call her a tattletale and mean girl. I just don’t see it. Maybe be Ari haven’t watched the entire series. I enjoy y’all,so much. Help Brianna someone!
Please, please, please. Your mother might have been misdiagnosed, but please do not tell people that you can cure cancer independently. I don’t mean to be rude.
@@pyewacketpeggy8329 I haven’t told anyone they can do that. I would never even suggest such a thing. I said my mom healed hers. That I can speak of because I know about that. The other I can not because I don’t know how to heal cancer. I’m not sure why you think I’m suggesting people heal cancer?
Hey, since you knew Meri, do u know how many siblings she had? I know she mentioned being 1 of 4 full-blooded sibling, and three have passed. Was she the youngest of them?
No, she was the 2nd child. Her older brother Adam was the one married to Janelle. She had 2 other mothers but I don’t know the exact number of kids. I know a few of them personally but not enough to know how many.
David has eight children, and 10 grandchildren. He also has good relationships with each of them, unlike Kody. I think any of the brown family grandkids calling him Papa David is hilarious and sweet. It also serves Kody right.
You can tell he is a good man from just that alone.
@@amyprince600 You will have oma Christien and opa David😊😊
Christine doesn't understand that the kids have all grown up. The mosh pit isn't a thing any more. Most of her siblings and nieces and nephews travelled to be there to celebrate Savannah. Savannah felt celebrated and special. That is all that mattered.
I agree, Savana deserved that. She seems like the forgotten child. I was so happy to see her celebrated.
The 3 OG definitely had a glow up from the moment they left ❤
@@michelehallman956 they really did. I love that for them
You said he’s acting for the cameras oh I agree, but if he took acting lessons, he needs to get his money back … it didn’t work. Meri would agree.
😂😂
Kody would have had steam coming out of his ears when he saw David being called grandpa .
Haha as he should
I think the reason she allows her kids to call him Grandpa David is because David has seen those kids more in 5 months than Cody has since they were born.
That’s so sad 🥺
@NotestoSelf444 Thanks again for u and ur hubby sharing your life, ur AUB history & experiences and ur take on the show.
Cody just wants to be around the large family so he can be adored. He really has no interest in bonding with anybody or giving he takes no pleasure in giving.
That’s how most polygamist men are for sure
David is a real man 😄 that's why he was accepted so fast.
I agree

😂😂 I agree. His vanity is his downfall. His brothers are all bald. He should just embrace it.
Sounds like the apple didn’t fall far from the tree with Robyn and her dad.
Nope not at all.
Also I wonder how long it will be before Kody says something bad about Meri. re: (when he was speaking to Janelle he said " I will never say anything bad Meri ----- Again") My prediction is 5 mins after she walked out of their house.
Haha you are definitely right
Why do you think Aorora and Breanna aren't married off yet?
Maybe because they left the culture & are possibly going to school? It might be hard for them to date given who their parents are too
About Meri going to England by herself.. she actually said, “WE’VE seen a lot of [things, sites].. point is she said we’ve so unless she’s talking about a singles group that she’s with it seems to me like she might not have actually gone alone.. ahhh.. It’s a mystery.
I don’t think she truly went alone.

@@mell682 the whole family I’m sure has a much healthier nervous system.
@ hahaha ! Great one !
Kody never going sell cowboy pass, it's calaterol for his Robin's house.
I dont think he will either. It is the way he has control over the ex wives. I love that Christine got a clean break

@@wallaceshotwell8168 that was an individual decision with each mother. Some did and some didn’t. My mom never really did but our babysitters did
@@NotestoSelf444 it sounds like you had such a good mom. She sounds very special every time you speak of her.
Of course, Robyn knew. Kody and Robyn planned this together from the start. They wanted to move to Flagstaff. They needed the OG3's money. And no way would Robyn allow her kids to select their own out-of-state college. Nope. Robyn selected NAU for Dayton.
@@kimc7699 so sad for the whole family to get dragged into it.
I thought the women had already paid their share of the bill and they were waiting on Kody's share. I think Kody got them to pay part of his share.
I was surprised they were paying in too. With no guarantee of getting anything out of it.
@NotestoSelf444 Kody is such a grifter.
People who watch the public records noticed around the time that the land was paid off that Kody and Robyn took out a second mortgage on their house. The supposition is that loan was used to pay off their portion of Coyote Pass.

He was saying Where We Go One We Go All well before Q was a thing.

I don't know how most in the AUB handled it. I know for myself I am not a guinea pig
OMG. I have been waiting for someone to clock the conpericy thing
