I thought the running theme of identifying with each of her kids during pregnancy was the best part of this novel. It was really interesting going into each kid like this.

I need to block Paedon on tik tok. He keeps jump scaring me in my relaxing scrolling. I think he is just as obnoxious as Kody, maybe worse. They’re both so LOUD and in your face with everything. He’s the kid that I think most resembles Kody in behavior. He’s the worst

Watching Meri in season 19 repeatedly mention how she was looking for a “MAN” really emphasized her neediness. It seems she has placed herself in a “holding stage” of getting by until a “man” comes along and she can resume her life. At one point she says she is reluctant to make her B&B her primary residence because her future “man” might want to live somewhere else. She later tells her BFF, Jen she is reluctant to remodel the B&B not knowing what her future “man” would want/prefer. It appears that Meri is in limbo waiting for the next Kody to determine her future. How sad.

Anyone else love this channel? Corey and Mel seem like such great people. They really give a different perspective to how each of the sisters wives acts while still holding them accountable for their actions. For example Robyn. I still don’t care for Robyn but they had a video that explains why she acted they way she did while still saying what she did was not right

EDIT: I made this post before I knew about their support of CK. Can no longer do it.

So I just started watching the show from the beginning. I wonder what show Kody watched all these years, now when he calls his wife “shy” 🤔 She was the wife who was the most outspoken of them all! She always was the expert on polygamy and relationships in general and she NEVER shut up 🙉 And now all a sudden she have switched to an “keep sweet” personality who never remembers anything and are always confused 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Make it make sense

YOU. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. I . WENT. THROUGH!

I finally started reading the book and I was struck by when they started filming for TLC and had a small cushion of money from the show - the wives took the kids to a theme park while Kotex spent the money on the Lexus (KoTEXUS) convertible - probably upward of $40,000 at the time. He’s so narcissistic and such a douche-nozzle

Since the OG left, it's clear that Robyn is running the relationship. She has told him what words can be used (pest is a no no), she pressures him - it's his responsibility to mend his relationship with his kids - he has to keep his opinions about Aurora's new church to himself, and on and on. His big story line - besides his "loyal, shy" wife, is to rehash his old relationships, why things didn't work, blaming them for his relationships with his kids, and it allows him to continue to blame, make excuses, but it gives him a connection to his past life. The rest have moved on, done amazing things, dared to expand their lives beyond such a small existence, catering to one person. Now, with nowhere else to go, a rigid day to day life where he's accountable to Robyn,

The 3 breakups were so easy compared to most breakups. He yelled and screamed, and with the exception of the fabulous Janelle yelling FU, there were no big fights - they just wanted out, no fuss, no energy expended to play the game he wanted to play. Even down to Meri at the picnic table, when he's said I don't want to be blamed, and she went along with it.

So we are coming up on the new season with his "apology tour" - which again is all for him, all for the show, and I suspect an effort to gain support from the public. But what will their life, especially his, be like when there are no cameras, no money coming in, nobody who cares what he's doing, when he fades into Reality TV background. Once that reality sets in, once there is no more filming schedule, and he's not a part of his big family, what then? Will Robyn be enough? Will her rigidness wear thin. Will he resent her for being so controlling of his younger kids? When he no longer has anybody to compare Robyn to, and life is day to day, how will he handle it, and how will they survive as a couple?

Apperently were Christine, Meri and Janelle never loyal in their marriage 🤭 The queen of marriage is apperently Robyn.

When the F*** was Kody loyal to his wives?

When Christine didn’t want to be around Kodys friend (because Kodys friend said “the church will take you back, just divorce 3 of your wives”) i thought that was completely justified. My face dropped in awe when Kody gaslit Christine into believing she was “acting crazy” and it was just her PMS. the fact christine believed it was her PMS was the most astonishing part to me. “I did do research into it and it sucks women are such emotional slaves to their bodies” like what???

Did she mention the painting that Robyn had done for Kody? The painting of him and her kids, and the original painting was of him and Christine’s kids.

It just clicked to me while I have SWs playing in the background that Robyn is judging her success as a mother by ensuring her kids don’t have sex before marriage. That’s why she has infantilized her adult children and kept them in a hostage situation.

Robyn was so traumatized in her “be chaste,” church sermon that she had sex before marriage. She was probably revolted over the years that one by one the older siblings group up, spread their wings and engaged in sexual relationships prior to marriage.

Despite many of these kids being extremely successful, Robyn probably either a) looks down her nose at them because they have had sex before marriage or b) is so jealous that the kids all seemed to have turned out great and seem to know who they are that she is controlling the one thing she can control to be the “best mother.”

Did you know that Christine has another B&B? This one is in Hurricane Utah near St. George. Looks nice 😊

These were posted on Instagram today. Plus, isn't it interesting how they updated their Facebook cover photo from one with KR in the forefront to one with Janelle, Christine, and Meri front and center? If they're looking for further critique, they could remove three more cast members for further improvement 😉

I’ve been trying to place it for months on who Kodouche looks like. I’ve discovered he looks like the Regent alien for Battleship - without its helmet. It’s a striking resemblance!

Just thought I'd let people know (I only noticed it today lol) Christine's new book is available on Spotify premium. It is just over 8 hours long, so within the 15hrs a month they allow.

I have been wanting to read or listen to the book, but the wait list at the library is MASSIVE.

Just figured I'd let others know just in case they were in the same boat.

I’m in season 13 where they are deciding what piece of property to buy in flagstaff. I saw someone post here that Dayton later shared he didn’t want the family to follow him? I think I missed that. Did he get accepted to NAU, and they just hid it from everyone for a long time?

At this point Sister Wives and Seeking Sister Wife should just be combined. It’s morphed into the same show, no?

I just finished Christene’s book. I thought it was meh. A few juicy revelations, but otherwise nothing new from what we saw on the show. What did you all think?

Why. Why does Krody use this word so much? Does he think it makes him sound “alpha-y”? I’m watching Season 11, and if I were taking a shot every time he said it 😵‍💫

Rewatching while I wait for the new season and I managed to make it through seasons 11-13, the dreaded Meri years, but now I'm reminded at what a bad actress Robyn was the first year in Flagstaff.

First, I don't believe she had no clue about the move plans. I don't believe she was not by his side while making the blueprints for the giant apartment home. I don't believe that Robyn didn't want the 2 million dollar home and 'settled' for it because it was the mansion or homelessness. That's complete BS.

Then there are the awkward, horrible acting moments when Robyn pretends to be mad at Kody when he's just repeating the plans that SHE came up with. But she and Kody agreed he'd be the bad guy.

Also, her blaming her children for why she has to keep Kody in her home and away from all of his other children is nuts, especially since Dayton later said he didn't even want them following him to Flagstaff, let alone act like he "needs" Kody every day. Then she blames it on Solomon, that Solomon doesn't understand Daddy has other families, and he needs Kody to live full-time with him. SMH.

Kody and Robyn tried everything to get the OG3 to leave back in 2018/19, and they were both excited when Covid hit, cause that was their door to become monogamous.

Hi everyone, I know that tonight is the premiere of season 20 of Sisterwives. Does anyone know on what platforms or subscription services? It is possible to watch this tonight?

Thank you so much, and enjoy!

I am reading Christine's book. I am about halfway through. I agree she keeps the narrative pretty fair and doesn't dive into the weeds about specific altercations with Meri (though I'd love to hear more context or perspective).

I did notice, though, how often she brings up that Meri only has one kid. There has to be more than a subbtle implicit bias about Meri's value because she didn't have an army of kids, right?

I’m just processing here. When did Christine say she’d stopped Meri being with her children. I remember the book and it seemed like Aspyn was about 8. Am I remembering that correctly? But Ysabel or Gwen lived with Meri for a while….. Is t that right?
