After welcoming fourth wife Robyn and her children, the Brown's lives are flipped upside down.Okaaaaay. I've been dreading covering this episode, still not sure why. Perhaps because watching someone's real birth on screen is too intimate. Perhaps it's because I can feel myself having deep annoyance towards Kody and Robyn, when they're just existing as parents who are welcoming a baby into the world. The recurring theme in this episode is how people in the Brown family are expected to perform certain emotional expression. The wives and kids are supposed to feel excitement. Christine is supposed to be welcoming. Robyn tries to squeeze out tears when giving Meri the thoughtful and generous offer to be their surrogate. Heads up: I share more about myself in this episode, including some details of birth.You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!

The Sister Wives get makeovers and head to the strip for a night on the town while Kody stays home to babysit. How will they find the adult entertainment Vegas has to offer?

There's conversation about modesty and post-partum depression and anxiety. Trainer Bill is still the worst. You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

The Brown family nervously accepts an invitation from a religious professor to talk to her students in Boston. Anxious about the question they will face, how will they respond? Meanwhile, the older teens tag along to visit some of Boston's best colleges.The Browns head to Boston to defend plural marriage at a university panel and end up revealing far more than they intended. Christine learns that Aspyn doesn't want to live polygamy, Kody's disdain for Christine boils over, and cutie patootie Logan is so excited to go to college. In the game of good wife/bad wife, I'd say Janelle wins in this episode. What do you think?You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

When another couple from the Browns' church in Utah comes to visit, the conversation turns to polygamy. How will the Browns respond to questions surrounding courting another wife and dealing with jealousy? What advice will they offer to ensure success?This episode focuses on one question: Why should a couple enter plural marriage if they know it's going to destroy their relationship? The Browns are giving monogamist couple Andy and Nichole the hard sell. Kody characterizes Warren Jeffs as a bully; meanwhile, their guest Andy compares plural marriage to eating your vegetables. Hunter and Maddie seem to be coming out of their situational depression, and Janelle couldn't be any more relieved. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Christine isn't getting along with her eight-year-old daughter Ysabel so she moves her in with sister wife Meri. Meanwhile, angry teen Hunter spoils the family camping trip. I strongly disagree with the episode description and I'll tell you why in this episode. My two key takeaways: 1) the parents are fundamentally misunderstanding their children in a way that is hurting them, and 2) oh boy, is Robyn manipulative! Hosted on Acast.

The sister-wives open up about an issue that has bothered all of them: their weight. Watch the sisters speak candidly about their battle with the bulge and see their attempts to shed the pounds as they they make their way to a gym for a body-fat analysis. Well, that was horrible. I always include the TLC/Puddle Monkey/Discovery+ episode description in my show notes and this one is just awful. I realize in the Age of Recreational GLP-1s, diet culture is here to stay...but wow. The Biggest Loser BS in this episode made my blood boil. The whole thing felt like an exercise in humiliation, especially for Janelle. They literally weigh the wives on camera and Robyn, being the lightest, lets out a 'Woo!' Despite all the mistreatment, Janelle is a great mom in this episode. And Christine? I have a theory she's spending a ton of energy to stop herself from blurting out that she wants to end her marriage. What do you think? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
