Mykelti now a mother of four.

Thank heaven Christine is close by!

 

[CdnCarrie]

Three! The little girl and now the twin boys. I'm sure she is happy to have her mom close by!

Kody and Co. pick and choose what parts of their AUB religion they want to follow. Would elders from any church respond to a family not listed as official members?

Well, that’s par for the course IME from my own family. I can’t really answer that question. I’m assuming it’s rhetorical? But *if* active and *if* Christine or Meri went to their bishop and said “my husband isn’t living up to his husbandly duties” they are going to tell HER that SHE needs to do better, that she is the the one failing and once she lives up to HER duties properly he will do better by her. Then the wife complaining about her husband will absolutely get thrown under the bus because the next phone call will be to Kody for “counsel.” I’m so confident in that I’d bet my house on it.

Mikelti could have said I am not having this conversation with you. But she chose to do it, so shame on her too and sucking up to Robin. The party was a huge mistake & Christine do not want to do it. Sure did get her some screen time.

I think she is close to Robyn so I don’t feel she has to sever that relationship because her dad plays favorites. A lot of the Brown kids are close to two or more of the moms, so I think it’s mature of Mykelti not to spout off destroying another family dynamic in her life. Most kids don’t want to get in the middle of parents’ marital issues so it takes restraint to try to keep a level head.

 

[CdnCarrie]

The last episode was taped in August of 2021. They were outside. No need to social distance and not hug. Ridiculous.

I still think when Kody tried to pull her into the relationship issues, she should have declined to answer and just said I’m staying out of it. Should have even called him on it and said don’t try to pull me into this, I love both of you and don’t want to be in the middle of it.

I would like to hope that a husband's rejection of his wife, including conjugal intimacy, might be considered legit grounds for divorce by church elders if the woman is being emotionally destroyed in a loveless marriage.

nope-and it would be the wife's responsibility to deal with it. the attitude (which is shard by some other groups, including non heavily religious but very patriarchal in nature) is that there can be times when one spouse falls short and the other is wounded and feels pain. when that happens, the one who is wronged should balance current disappointments against the good of the past and the brighter prospects of the future. even going to counseling can be frowned upon b/c it denies the power of faith and goes against the practice of 'don’t treasure up past wrongs, reprocessing them again and again'.

down the line if christine marries, which we know will be her 1st LEGAL marriage, she and her husband will be considered and shunned by some as being adulterers b/c of the eternal promises she made to kody. she is extremely brave on a number of fronts to be taking these steps.


again-this is not just a religious practice, it's a practice within other communities and cultures as well.

Yes, they could have all been vaccinated by then. Sol and Ari could have masked or stayed home with the nanny.

This made me think of the Duggars. Josh Duggar is in prison for crimes that I will not go into, but from what I understand their religion would say that it is his wife's fault. If she had been doing her "wifely duties" he wouldn't have committed those crimes. It's insane, but they hold men in higher regard. They blame the women for causing their men to "stumble".

I curious where everyone is for Thanksgiving this year. Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[sk!mom]

Kody's with Robyn. 100%

I hope Janelle and Christine are each with as many of their kids as possible together or individually. No need to endure anymore awkward get togethers with Robyn and Kody for either of them.

Meri...whatever???

Janelle was at Logan’s and I saw something indicating Meri was away.

 

[barkley]

when kody wants to do something (wanting janelle to buy chrisine's house from her) he says-'there is the money to do this'/'if you will it you can make it happen'. when kody doesn't (janelle initiating the build on the property) he says- 'there's not the money to do this'/you can't just will something to happen' DUDE-talk out of both sides of your mouth much????

anyone else feel like janelle was really rocking the traditional non custodial 'fun parent' vibe with truely's sleepover? it was sweet though-you can tell she has genuine affection for her.

so kody finally came out and admitted that with the exception of robyn's the adult kids are each of the wive's kids vs. part of his family (though i noticed he didn't even mention meri or leon in the comment but i haven't seen or heard any commentary on his part about leon so i kind of wonder but hope not that he may have taken on part of his former faith's practice of never speaking of someone privately or publicly again for certain personal gender/sexuality 'choices').

next week looks interesting-i don't think kody realizes who/what he's taking on by pushing estrangement with janelle. like she said-she's the one who has done the taxes all these years, she is intimately aware of the finances. i don't see her walking away and gifting her portion of the property, i see her keeping what she believes is her equitable share (and this time-she won't be sending money back to help him financially like she did years ago when she left). if she leaves and doesn't want the property it will be a mess for him to untangle b/c her name along with his is on 2 of the lots (hers and meri's-i'm guessing meri and kody alone could'nt qualify).

 

[disneychick0412]

I really wish that when it's time for the Tell All the host would ask the hard hitting questions. I'm sure they won't though. Pull up some social media posts and ask Kody and Robyn to respond!
Like why did you go to the wedding and dance around like a fool but couldn't go to Ysabel's surgery (and don't use the excuse that you couldn't stay gone that long, a few days would have made all the difference)? I still can't get over the way he told Robyn's younger kids to basically stay away from Truely at the farewell, and only he could hug her. If Truely had Covid or something, and Kody hugged her, he could pass it to the favorite wife and children when he comes into contact with them.

Right?!?

His hypocrisy knows no bounds. It is mind boggling.

I finally watched the most recent episode and man is Kody off the rails. I do think he did love Christine and he is just very bitter that she rejected him. He can't accept the fact that he drove her away. And now he is worried Janelle will leave so he is pushing her away too. What a dumpster fire he is. I just wish this show would air closer in time to when all of this is actually happening...

Does anyone know if anyone has built anything at Coyote Pass?

 

[CdnCarrie]

My understanding is nothing was ever built at Coyote Pass. Strong rumours that Janelle has left.

Good on her if she did. He is being a jerk. He talks about respect but he doesn't give any to the wives either.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Robyn's comments about generational trauma were comical. She's divorced herself.

And Kody going on all the time about respect and loyalty. Ugg.

But good to see him actually hug both Savannah and Truely in the episode.
And lovely to see Janelle hosting Truely for a fun camping experience.
