Sister Wives...

sophiamarie — Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:54:55 GMT

Did anyone watch last night???? If it keeps up like this, I don't think this show is going to last much longer. Getting very boring. It's like nothing is going on in their lives except for Meri crying about being an "empty nester" and the fact that Kody "isn't" going to be an empty nester, blah, blah.

So, why did Meri need that huge McMansion if she's going to be all alone. Instead of whining about it, why doesn't she go out and get a job. In fact, why don't all of them go out and get jobs. Does anyone know what Kody does anyway??? I mean, besides hopping from house to house..............

That Meri... what a crying snotty mess!!! I can not stand people that cry every other word that departs their mouth. I bet Kody does nothing now that the show's income is coming in for each person in the show.... (probably looking for a new bed mate....) I imagine that is why the children choose to be on the show... for the residual income they are paid. I thought last season some of the wives were selling property and homes? I bet they are now just living off of their show salary. The Kardashions are pulling in $40 million a season. I doubt the SisterWives and husband are doing anything close to that!

There is the occasional mention about sales and marketing and Kody getting his new car as a bonus but I'm not sure exactly what he is marketing.

I usually feel like smacking Meri by the end of a show. Always whining and crying. No wonder she doesn't have a great relationship with Janelle and Christine.

Maybe if Meri had to go out, find a job and work for a living, she wouldn't have so much time to spend on her constant immature whining and crying.

I thought that Christine and Janelle took real estate courses, and both got their licenses. I think it was Christine who decided that line of work entailed too much time away from her family. I don't see Janelle exactly making any effort to bring in some income. And neither does Robin. Where is the great jewelry venture? By the wayside?

They probably just feel they can live on the income from the show or just declare bankruptcy again like some have done in the past. Nice example for those kids, all 17 of them.

Oh for heaven's sake - no woman who has a normal amount of self respect or any personality strength would participate in a polygamous marriage. of course they are whiny & crying. They are weak women who do this in the first place.

I watched some of it last night and all I can say is none of them seem happy and it has become more and more of the Kody show...the narcissist.

I agree about Meri needing to find something to occupy her time, so she's not so miserable all the time. I think they are making quite a lot of money from doing the show and they all seem to be very comfortably. I thought it was pretty funny that Christine backed away so quickly from the real estate idea because she would actually have to spend some time away from her kids. Hello!! LOL

A bright idea Meri can get a real job or help out babysitting.

Ah, yes! Thanks Missyw1! I remember those glamour shots with him and all his wives and their LIV stories and product recommendations. I like the comments about how the spray gets the kids ready to concentrate and do their homework.

I wonder if they pump up the drama on this show as they do on so many reality shows. If that isn't the case, these seem like very unhappy people. All of them. Of course, my feelings are the same as when I first saw the show. How this guy got one woman to marry him, let alone four is amazing to me.

Whatever they make from TLC, with 17 kids (and more to come I'm sure) that doesn't go very far, what with colleges, cars, food, bills, etc..... Those homes all have mortgages and I have a feeling that they live from day to day when it comes to paying the bills. They talk a good game but I think it's really just a game.

They all sit around and whine about what's next. They drive old cars (except Kody of course) and as each kid becomes of age, they need a car too. Now, Mariah is going to Westminster which is $28,000 a semester, while Logan's is only $6,500...... I guess Mariah gets what Mariah wants if it's up to Meri. After all, she is Kody's "only" legal child......

As soon as this show is off the radar, we'll be reading about them and it won't be in a good way IMO.......

Not sure if was a clip of the next show but they visited a psychic who said Kody will have another wife.

As far as I know Kody's profession is some sort of marketing or sales. You're right, they should all get jobs. In a few years the show will be gone but the upkeep, taxes and insurance will still be rolling along, as will the bills for all those college tuitions.

Actually Kody's car is older as well. He has a Lexus when the show first began...then he won the Nissan 2 door soft top in the job he had before they left Utah...so really all their cars are old.

They would have been far better off building a REAL McMansion for all the wives but nooo each had to have their own McMansion. What happen to good ol' Polygamy where they all live together?

No wonder Meri wanted Robyn as the 4th wife. She saw the closeness between Janelle and Christine and wanted the same - and she got it from "sobbin' Robyn"........ Two of a kind, except I think there might be a little bit of jealousy between Meri and Robyn. Robyn is no beauty but she is the youngest and probably will have more kids, whereas Meri can't.....

I kinda like Kody. I think he's really a nice guy and gets a bad rap sometimes. At least, he's not around long enough for any one of them to tire of him, except I don't think he spends enough time with the kids, which is important while they're growing up and need that father figure in their lives.....

I was thinking about all of Meri's boohooing this morning and I wondered if she's miserable because of the additional wives. Yes, she knew she was going into a polygamist marriage, but I wonder if her heart was really in it. Perhaps she wanted Kody so much that she thought she could deal with it and has discovered that she can't. There have been interviews with women that have been in that situation and finally had to get out.

Re: Sister Wives...

croemer — Mon, 06 Jan 2014 23:35:17 GMT

ITA twopeas, I think she(Meri) thought she could live the life. Possibly part of the problem is Meri thought she would have a boat load of children as well and when she couldn't... it affected her self esteem while the other wives seem to had no trouble having children.

I can't believe I am saying this but from the books I have read about polygamists the women are very competitive about having children and how this really determines their standing in the family.
