Sister Wives

[LiLIrishChick63]

Robyn's story...eww.

I think that it's strange that she doesn't mention the fact that the guy who "took her purity" is from one of the most well-known polygamist families. She makes it sound like she deserted her faith and hooked up with some random guy. I also think it's probably misleading to say he "only wanted one thing" given that he was married to her for a number of years. Most of all, that's a pretty messed up way to portray your relationship with their father to your children. Ugh.

i was under the assumption that it WAS a different guy? considering she claimed she left the faith and hooked up with this guy? i thought that she met her first husband after that....then Kody? otherwise why would she only talk about her oldest son, and not the rest of the children she had with him?

But... But... What did she ever do to you?

ugh...that's the one right there that just drives me crazy....she is so freaking annoying.

Do you think that heart charm is a piece from the Sister Wives Closet?

I would only feel bad for her if she was really so brain washed that she actually feels a need to "apologize" to her 2nd husband who has 3 other wives. Did you see her daughters (probably around 10) face...she looked terrified for her mom...just totally nuts.

Yuck. I finally watched it today. Just yuck. I almost turned it off.

Ugh...Janelle and Christine are the only ones I can stand, the rest of them I just want to punch. Especially Robyn and that stupid closed mouth weird smile/cry thing she does.

I was just thinking the same thing. I went on my Meri rant after the last episode, now after watching last night's episode I feel like going on a Robyn rant.

i wasn't sure if i wanted to be angry at Robyn or feel bad for her.

i get that she regretted having sex before marriage but....to sit there and talk about the guy "stealing" it from her? from the way she made it sound, it sounded like she was a willing participant, no? "stealing" would mean that she wasn't willing and well...that's a whole other ball game there. so she really confused me there.

i also wonder how the other wives feel about the fact that she has children by 3 different men. i'm not judging here at all, i could care less, but within their faith i would assume that's a big red flag.

i felt bad for some of the kids. they clearly weren't excited and some of them looked downright afraid of her story.

I agree with all of that. It almost felt like she was telling her family she had been raped.

OK, I was considering stopping watching the show.

But this stuff is so great, I think I might stick with it!

It seemed like she was saying that she was "talked" out it, it was "stolen". That he kept pressuring her. But I didn't pick up on the fact that it was someone different from her first husband. She said that she married the guy. Is Kody her 2nd or her 3rd husband?

 

[phamton]

She said she married him and spent the next nine years with him. That was her first husband and Kody is her second husband.

I took "I spent the next nine years trying to make it right" as a reference to her marriage.

ETA: Her ex-husband's name is David Jessop. It looks like they were married 1999-2007 and different magazine articles refer to them as having three children, the oldest of whom is David Jr. (Dayton's real name, I guess), who is now 13-ish. She's 34-ish now, so she both conceived him and got married around 20-years-old. So, it seems that all of the children are her ex's. If she had met someone else who stepped up to the plate and agreed to raise her son as his own, I would have hoped she would have recognized this, but from her previous comments (about never having support during past pregnancies) this doesn't seem likely.

Skatalite,

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

wow so she spun that entire story to make it seem like he basically took her "purity" without her consent and then she was forced to marry him?? right...


these people are cray cray....

I'm sure it'll be baby mama drama... Wish they would hurry up & get over that one. It's been a cliff hanger for a couple years now.

About the teens tho, I really like Logan. He's so cute & seems like he kinda has some sense. Christine & Janelles daughters seem more normal than Mariah. When they asked about dating, I thought what boy would date Mariah if he has seen her whiny self on the show, lol.

And yes, it is a show I love to hate, lol.

So she has Robyn carry the baby and the rest of the "moms' take care of it she can really play this stupidity up for at least this season.

YOu cannot say that loudly enough!

OMG I am peeing my pants

I paused the dvr and wrote down the recipe for the caramels. I might try to make them.

Just be sure you do it on Christmas afternoon, preferably after cooking and wrapping gifts for 25 people.

Gifts for 25 people that you handcraft yourself.

Just watched the "purity" episode. Robyn is crazy. Where is the idea that all your choices in life lead to the next phase? If she hadn't married Jessop, she never would have divorced, never would have met Kody, never had 3 kids...ARGH. That line of thinking was nuts! And how can you get your purity back? Isn't purity a nice way of saying virginity? Once the cherry is broken, that's it right?!

DD & I laughed at their getting dressed up to have "church" in the living room. Really? you can't just wear your pj's? Isn't that one of the advantages of homechurch?! It's pretty sad when your kids are really bored with homechurch. I'd think it would be better than real church bc you can make it whatever you want it to be. This show is a trainwreck I can't stop watching...
