    I agree. I also think it's about control. If Meri had gone to school, she might have pulled away from the family sooner and had more resources to do so. It's weird though because what were they keeping her in for? We know now Kody had cut her off, even back then. Robyn wasn't really letting her around the kids. So it's like they were trying to keep her in the family just for the sake of it?

    • @g.flesch9731
      @g.flesch9731 2 місяці тому +2

      Meri was being kept on the fringes of the Brown plural situation so Kody could keep her income but she was not really a part of the family & some sister wives did not like her & some of the kids have reason to feel she was abusive towards them either physically or mentally or both. She is completely out of the Browns. Janelle & Christine see each other as sisters with all the children they have together.

She was really brainwashed.

Kody did not even thank Meri for her SACRIFICE of granting him a divorce to marry (evil minded) Robyn. K& R did not invite any of the 3 wives to their "paper shuffle" wedding at city hall. Kody & Robyn were all dressed up & smiles for miles. Kody was stoked he had his true love (lust) fulfilled. It was quite the display. Kody was like a 22 year old groom with 3 wives, 12 kids & Christine's 6th pregnancy waiting in the wings. Than off to the honeymoon. Kody disgusts me & Robyn. Both of them are selfish monsters.

    I have said this since it aired, to me it was so obvious she was Kody's favorite, she had the hair done all the time, the jewelry (Not SW closet stuff), the clothes, the designer handbags to match her different boss lady outfits, even though she came into the family, cap in hand, with over 30k debt, Kody hires a lawyer to help restore her credit and Janelle cashes in her 401k to pay Robyn's debts, then Kody tells the builders to build Robyn's home first even though they still had not submitted all of the paper work, mean while Janelle and Christine's homes are last on the list, Kody even asks Christine if she will take the extra money in her budget and give it towards his and Meri's home since it was over budget, then says he was joking, didn't sound that way, he never asked Robyn to give up anything and to date she still has never held a real job since courting Kody. So blatantly obvious that she was the one and only to Kody and didn't care if the OG 3 got anything, she expected them to work full time and then also work for My SW Closet, while she had a nanny and did nothing.

  • @CriticalThinker137
    @CriticalThinker137 2 місяці тому +7

    The Browns never discuss money but, word on the street is that their moves were prompted by their inability to pay debts especially the balloon payments on Vegas mortgages. The early episodes read poverty imo. Robin's master plan is centered around her demonstrating/feigning ultimate dedication to Kody. Until very recently, many fundamentalist sects viewed education as potentially disloyal through independent achievement and exposure to contravening ideas.

    • @g.flesch9731
      @g.flesch9731 2 місяці тому

      Yes, fundamentalist sects view education, beyond high school, as suspect. It will expose their kids to other opinions, ideas, progressive ideas, is anti-Christian, gives women the ideas of being other than a wife & mother, opens the possibility of sex before marriage. The very idea of knowledge & broadening your world is anti-Fundamentalism.
      The cult sect mind-set is to limit the world to the exact religious ideas they want people to live by & to not give choices of the kids stepping outside the belief system. They want more babies to provide more followers. These are truly cults. Everything is viewed as black and white. And, the outside worldly ideas are bad & corrupting to their people.
      IMO the Browns fled Las Vegas with the 4 nice homes in the cul-de-sac with the perfect environment for all the kids, because of some money issue. Maybe balloon payments on 4 mortgages. Whatever, besides Robyn's son going to college in Flagstaff, there was some other issue on Kody's plate. Another idea is that Kody got the equity of the 4 house sales in LV and with some of that money could buy Robyn her big house.
      Plus, they bought property they cannot afford to develop which makes no financial sense. Chances are Kody Brown will lose the property or have to sell the land to make ends meet.
      Hopefully Janelle & Meri get legal help so that if the Coyote property is sold they get money back that they put in. That does not count the money Kody got to buy the mansion for Robyn from Janelle & Meri. Hope to see Janelle get some of her money back so she can have a home for herself.

      Robyn designed - ugly. One episode she was walking around the house & shielding some piece of jewelry because it was a secret. She obviously did not know how to design jewelry. She needed an actual jewelry artist designer where Robyn gets approval of designs from a person who knows jewelry design. So another fail for Robyn, cannot design jewelry & too prideful to get help.

    Agree, that was the main thing to keep Meri as her worker bee so she could sit on her butt. I think it goes even further that she wanted to put & keep Meri in a position where her role in the family was to pick up & do everything that Robyn did not want to do. It's partly about limiting and diminishing Meri since Robyn in so insecure and needs to feel superior & partly about having an unpaid assistant so she could live her life of leisure.

She is lazy & got the other wives to help out so she could give Kody another kid. Like Kody Brown needed an 18yt kid to add to his list. Kody's kids were a list. Sad to say but his behavior towards 13 of his kids proved he is not dad material. And that is very sad. Feel bad that innocent kids got burned by Kody's agenda.

    Meri was in class when the catfish started. She ended up going for the spring semester.
    Kody and Meri were the main drivers of storylines. Kody picked vacations, Meri was doing doctor appointments and B&B negotiations. I think Robyn knew she wasn't contributing to show drama and was happy to let Meri drive storylines. If Meri has school and carrer outside the family, then those storylines don't include Robyn who is making the same money as Meri.
    I think Kody and Robyn are obsessed with keeping the show and the show is what drives many decisions.
