Sister Wives and SSW

[cleo29]

I was annoyed with Kody (surprise) over his feelings about Isabelle's back surgery. She is old enough to say what she would like to do and how she feels. it is her body. My friend had the same surgery when she was younger and i don't think ever regretted it. His vehemence was grating.

It was nice to see Meri so animated, i can't remember the last time she looked that happy. I also think it is neat to have furniture returning to its original home. i hate the LLR shirts with the shoulder seams halfway down the upper arm. it is not a good look.

SSW:

I am bothered when someone eats a certain way and expects their spouse(s) to do the same. I can understand not wanting it in their house, but i do not think it should be that the other person has to give up certain foods because the other person has already done so.

the couple who lost their house in the fire, i think his reasons for wanting to go plural are the not the same as the wife. He bothers me.

[Jalapeñomel]

I have no idea why Kody thinks he knows better than the doctor. Scoliosis is no joke, let the girl get the surgery if she wants it.

I really wish Meri would lay off the make up or get some make up tutorials. She always looks really worn out, and I think that majority of it is from the make up. Although I find that B&B really dated and gaudy, I'm glad Meri finds happiness in it.

I suppose if you are morally opposed to eating meat, then I would imagine having a spouse who doesn't give it up would be super hard.

[cleo29]

It is not all meats; just pork and red meat. I don't know. I think if you come to that personal choice, as an adult, then you have to respect that there are people who will feel otherwise. like I said, I think not wanting it in your house is understandable.

Meri needs to stop the tanning. And bronzing. I think that would go a long, long way in making her look better.

And for Kody to act like just because the doctor is an orthopedic doctor, he will automatically want to perform a surgery is ridiculous. I have had issues on and off with my knees since grade school. Still no surgery because it has not been necessary.

Oh and read that they all now live in Flagstaff, AZ. So, for all the talk about moving back to Utah, that is not where they landed.

[morecoffeeplease]

I can't wait to watch sister wives tonight. Shocker that Kody thinks he knows better than an expert in that field.

I read the other day that they can't sell their Vegas homes.

.

Same here my Ortho has worked really hard for almost a decade to avoid doing surgery on my knee.

Let the girl get the surgery already

[bittybomb]

I just cannot get past his hair this season.  Is it me, or is it way worse now??

[morecoffeeplease]

I’m watching now and so far Kody is disgusting with his dismissal of others peoples feelings about surgery

He definitely comes from the point of view that his opinion is the one that matters. i see that with the move. Everyone else wants to stay, except him but yet they move.  I was more annoyed that he was not listening to his daughter who is definitely old enough to voice her feelings and have them really matter. it does not matter if he does not think it makes her less beautiful, to HER, it is something that makes self conscious and does not like it.

my inlaws can be this way some stuff. if it is not seen or felt to be important to them, then it is simply not important even if others feel otherwise.

It's not just you. His hair has always been disgusting, but this season it's beyond disgusting. It's so long and frizzy, and when he puts it in a man bun or whatever the fuck that is, it just accentuates his balding. He's gross on so many levels.

Why *does* he want to move?

[morecoffeeplease]

I haven’t finish the episode but he hasn’t really said. Just that’s he’s always wanted to go back to Utah (but they are now in Arizona so who knows)

Well considering he has half the hair he used to but still insists on wearing that god awful ponytail,  it's not you. 

[yourmother]

Halfway through SSW. The Ashley Snowden wants a wife to boss around and Dimitri wants another wife to be a play thing and have his children. Good luck with that. This woman seems super desperate to be a part of their family and I cannot figure out WHY. She needs to run quickly.

The couple that were living in a trailer, I really feel like he’s SOOOO EXCITED about getting a plaything and his wife seems SUPER jealous. Dissasterous combo that's bound to fail.

Because to him Vegas represents exile. That they fled to Vegas for fear they were going to be arrested in Utah.

Also, we never see the oldest son anymore. I know he is engaged to his girlfriend.

He wants to move for the metaphorical symbolism of it. Sounds like Kody.

And I think he likes to be contrary. No one wanted to really move to Vegas in the first place and now they are all settled and the wives are happy and he wants to move again.

I think Maddie moved there because Janelle would help with child care while they finished school.

She wants to be on tv, and they seem to be rather well off.

Lurker randomly chiming in

I read the sisterwive forum on previous TV. A lot of them discuss the move is for financial reasons. They have interest only mortgages and they will have to start making huge balloon payments.

I love the snark and recaps are hilarious if you are looking for something to kill time.

His hair is awful and has gotten progressive worse.

[aliciabella]

As someone who has two rods placed on my spine due to severe scoliosis the surgery is the last choice she would want. I didn't see the episode and am unsure how severe it is but it has not been a fun ride. I have significant issues but that is also due to how bad my curves were and that I have straight, Harrington rods, which they no longer use. The newer rods are inserted vertically through each vertebrae and can be tightened over time. But these surgeries can only be done while you are still growing so are time specific. I hope whatever they chose helps with the pain.

This is similar to my rods but are not my xrays

[cleo29]

aliciabella, her curve is 42degrees. so, generally the doctor says he waits until 50 or greater. the daughter wants it. she talks about how much she hates how her spine looks, wearing the brace, etc.

It's a last resort. She's done years of back braces, physical therapy, they sent her to scoliosis camp (I don't really know the name of it, lol), and it's not getting better.

You don't happen to have a zillow link, do you? I would be very interested in what they're trying to sell for. 

That fucking wet bar.

ETA: And OMG, if I heard them call them "homes" instead of "houses" one more time, I would just lay down and stop living. It drove me craaaaaazy. BEC.

It’s not working on my phone, but one address is 4007 Wild Eagle Circle, 89129.

They’re asking 599,900 for two of them, 614,900 for one, and it looks like 619,900 for the other, but that one was taken off the market yesterday.

JFC, they spent about 2 million on these fucking houses.

The balloon mortgage totally makes sense now too. They couldn’t qualify with a standard 30 year.

I haven’t watched the show since the season they bought the houses – are they still reproducing? I assume the youngest wife is. What about the other one (maybe Christine?) that had a baby when the series started?

Same. I finally caught the first two episodes this season since we have Hulu now.

I think Robyn is the last one to have a baby, but I don’t know if they’re trying to have more.

So that was Meri's house. I thought the wet bar would drive the price up.   i am still shocked that two people and eventually, one person, lived in that house. it is so big.
