Sister Wives......

sophiamarie — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:09:45 GMT

The new season starts tonight. I notice that Meri has gained an awful lot of weight. She is almost as large as Janelle was but I think Janelle has lost some.

Somehow, I am addicted to this show but I don't know why. The women are lazy, none of them work and they all live large in lovely homes. OTOH, on "My Five Wives" - the wives all work, seem to be well educated and they get along much better than Cody's wives.

I don't have a favorite but I am drawn to these shows.

Anyone else??????

I haven't watched very many episodes, but I can see how they would be addicting.

I saw the promo for the new season and it's pretty funny how they try to 'drama' it up. The last bit where Kody says (something like) 'there's going to be another female in the household', then they start to open the door and it cuts.

Ha! I'll bet it's like they are getting a dog or maybe somebody is going to work for them or something.

LOL - I'm thinking it's probably a MIL, someone's sister, or maybe one of the kids home from school.... Of course, we know there is not going to be another wife. They always do this to us in the promos.

I never thought about a dog, although maybe they should have one - but then again, which wife would it live with???? Maybe a dog for each wife?????

None of them work? That's just not true. I believe both Meri and Janelle have jobs outside of the home, they have their own jewelry business that they run not to mention a gaggle of kids to raise, homes, laundry, cooking.... They aren't lazy at all.

I'm sure they're making a fortune from that jewelry business. NOT!!!!

Didn't most of us have a home, laundry and cooking (not to mention "kids") and were still able to work?

I don't mean to start anything here. That's for another thread. I still don't think they have "real" jobs. They are getting paid from TLC, probably close to $100,000 per episode and I read that they are getting state aid for the kids too. Surely, Robyn was before she met Cody (and they're not legally married so wouldn't she be entitled to it????)

I used to pooh-pooh this series UNTIL my sister got me hooked on it last year LOL.

I read somewhere that 2 of the girls are either on college vacation or graduated. Likely it's one of them coming home for awhile for forever!

I thought their presentation of their ""business plan"" for the potential business partners was so ill-done and pitiful. Just my opinion.

I too watch...hope it is better then last season.

5Wives...btw: do not all work.

Re: Sister Wives......

Meri only has one child with Cody and she is now in college...so she does not take care of a lot of kids like the other wives.

Hi janna, no they will help out if needed but each has their own home. This group is not the closest of wives...but My 5 Wives definitely have their issues as well.

The point isn't if they're making a fortune -- the point is that they have jobs and aren't lazy. You don't have to get a paycheck from a boss to have a "job". Stay-at-home moms have very important jobs and (most) aren't lazy.

You also (I assume) didn't have a gaggle of kids to take care of on a daily basis. And if you worked, you paid for a babysitter or day care for your young children.

And I'm not sure why people believe things they read on blogs or elsewhere as gospel truth I would take the state aid $ rumor with a grain of salt.

Hate to disappoint you but I had 5 boys. Three were born in 4 years and there is a 4 year gap beteen the oldest and next one down. They all knew how to do their own laundry by the time they were 10. The oldest knew how to make Pablum and heat up a bottle for his baby brother when he was 9 y/o.....I didn't force them to do anything. They just learned by watching. In my day, there was no day care (that I knew of) but I had neighbors with kids the same ages, so they were always "watched."....... My parents lived close by too....

Don't assume what you don't know. I think 5 could be called a "gaggle.".......

At one time they were on assistance...I can not imagine they qualify any longer with the pay from TLC.

When I first started watching they all lived together, then they moved and that is when they all got big houses, I think.

No...they moved to Vegas and each had their own "rented" homes which some where not even in the same neighborhood. They felt that affected their family and decided to build these new homes in a cul-de-sac...to re-establish the family closeness.

Re: Sister Wives......

sophiamarie — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 22:16:03 GMT

When they lived in Utah (at the start of the series) they lived in a large house, built by a polygamist. Then, they had trouble with the law and moved to Vegas, where they were renting different houses for each of them. They still own the Utah house. One of the relatives is supposed to be living in it. I think they are having trouble selling it.

Then, when they starting raking in the money from TLC, they built custom houses in Vegas, where they all live now....
