Regarding the comment above, I wouldn't say at all that you think you know everything. All of the commentary is based on your own experiences in the AUB and you don't try to assume anything you don't know about the Browns. I love these lives!!!

    Do you think Kody had already given Meri the “no intimacy” speech before the catfish, similar to Christine, and kind of told her she could do what she wanted as long as she stayed with the family? And then the catfish situation backfired that plan. There were some weird conversations on camera where Meri said, “you KNOW why I told you not to come around”… The whole family, including Kody, seemed too easy with it at first but then as Meri refused to take accountability, it was more and more embarrassing and they got resentful?

    In the Brown's book, Robyn spoke about her step-dad didnt see them on Christmas and they would have to wait a week or more to celebrate Christmas because he was with his Vegas family. Any truth to that? Also when Kody was on the Mormon Live program, he mouthed off about her step dad's first wife angrily holds on to her being the head wife in the celestial kingdom. He then told them to edit that out. Oooops Kody, a live program cant edit.

    Just realized. Robyn and her archetype is stuck in her childhood persona. She was the only wife that seemed to get scared when challenges came up and needed Kody or the other wives to solve them. The other wives were warriors and she was a child. Also, Robyn’s archetype eggs-on bad behavior from others; almost like she instigates a fight. Most famously with the knife in the kidney scene. She pushed Kody into exploding onto Christine. Robyn is the true cause of Kody’s turmoil mind.

It also sounded like her nuclear family of origin lived similar like what the Browns had in Vegas... homes very close to one another and children were free to enter in and out of each other's house.

    I wouldn’t say Robyn is “shady”. I think she made bad decisions from the start and then saw the opportunity with the Browns to benefit from their success. She then continued to make bad decisions by not adapting to their parenting and financial values and putting Kody and her kids before the “big pitcher” as Kody calls it. She reaped the benefits without contributing or awareness and is regretful now but completely delusional now that she played a part. Basically, just continues to make poor decisions in life for her and her kids’ emotional well-being.
