Robyn: The Financial BURDEN to the Family

[@2013aurora]

My theory: Robyn didn’t allow Christine to watch her kids because she saw how the other kids loved her. And she would not dare let her kids bond with another wife in that way. It’s also the reason Kody has such hatred for Christine. She’s the nucleus of the family. She’s the sun all the planets rotate around. Not Kody. Robyn is jealous of that and so is Kody.

[@SeniorPerspective]

That is an EXCELLENT theory! Janelle knew and was confident in who she was as a mother to allow and welcome the bond between her kids and Christine. I can see that Robyn may have been threatened by it!

[@2013aurora]

Exactly. Robyn thought that she was going to be the fave among the kids because she was young and “hip”. Kody thought Robyn was going to be the fan favorite and everyone would root for them. They both got a dude awakening when Christine left and the kids basically followed. I think they knew how much the audience disliked Robyn. But I believe they were galled by how much support Christine received.

Janelle seems to be getting back to some type of financial independence, but she should never have been put in a situation in get 50s where everything she worked for was gone because of Robyn’s inability to control her spending. Or..Meri’s insistence that money be distributed EXACTLY the same. She took money she didn’t earn, and Janelle and her children went without so Meri could be equal.

[@carlynotwitter7728]

@RachaelGenX the "equal" thing always bothered me. No, Meri shouldn't be punished for only having one child but the thing is it wasn't a "punishment." It was called being practical. It reminded me of a family trip my dad and sisters went on a couple years ago. My oldest sister has a husband and daughter while my younger sisters are single with no kids. My dad got an Airbnb and one of my younger sisters thought she should get the master room cause she "called it. " But she's a spoiled brat and thought she should get the room above my married sister and didn't think it was fair she have to take a small room just cause she's single.

[@lauriekurad]

​@@carlynotwitter7728 .... AUB "Rules for Marriage" states that all wive's receive the same, regardless of Children. Meri gave her choice of Rental in Vegas, because she saw how much Janelle liked it. Meri 'had' to have the same sq footage in the Cul De Sac, because of the Development. Meri put as much into the family budget, while she had one child. Meri also helped pay for Aspyn's Wedding, because she wanted Aspyn's Wedding to be what Aspyn really wanted . Meri May not have contributed the way some think . But in the time from the beginning of Vegas, through her leaving, her money was also funding other kids, that weren't her biological kids, and no other wife was working. I think Meri paid her dues.

[@Catmom-gl5nt]

I think it’s natural for parents to buy gifts they wish they had had as children, but if only the material aspect of gift giving is emphasized children miss the entire point of gifting. It’s about showing love with a present that was chosen with care, it’s not the money spent but the thought that goes into it. My grandfather had a friend who could literally make anything. Food, clothing, toys, she could craft anything that struck her fancy. She even grew her own wheat and milled it for flour. Anyway, she always visited with new toys she’d made for me and I cherished them. I remember my father said once she was on a fixed income and not to be disappointed and I was do confused because I valued everything she gave me. Even as a 3 year old I knew the care that went into her gifts. My favorite was a stuffed rat that unzipped and 6 pinky rats came out out 😂. It was beautifully made and I took that thing everywhere. Mind you, she also made amazing items for my doll houses so it’s hard to pick a favorite. I wish I had learned more from her, especially how to tat lace.

Christine even brought it up, when Meri laughed at Christine's impression of her father, and said it was true, and she sounded just like her father, who told Christine that she was 14, so enjoy life, and stop thinking about the end of the World . Meri is nothing like Robyn. The only reason Meri stayed, was because of their Religion. Apparently Meri had talked about leaving to her mother, but Bonnie kept saying that she had to stay, and make her marriage work, because if one wife left, no one in the family would go to The Celestial Kingdom...even the children. There is more that was said over the years, but. I don't get it with the Meri hate

[@CAROLOLSENWHITNEY]

Why is Robyn entitled to so much of the family assets when she contributed nothing to the gaining of those assets? Since Kody was not married to the OG3 this should be considered a partnership. Robyn should only be entitled to half of Kody's part of the assets. She should be lucky that she gets that much, but no, she wants it all.

I can’t remember what season this was but I remember Janelle had a great idea to pull their family funds to open up a friendly gym gears to help with non judgmental weight loss. Great idea, and at the time would have been a huge money maker, that would probably multiply their family fund several times over. But no…. Robyn wanted to start my sister wife closet and Kody loved the idea and squashed the gym idea. Janelle hated the jewelry idea but was basically forced by guilt to help finance and assist my sister wives closet. I was so angry for Janelle.

[@catco8644]

Yes she was the first wife, but unfortunately, she only had one child. She did not need the same resources for food. Janelle and Christine did and she should’ve been more understanding of that if they all really are worried about the family and not individually, which obviously they weren’t.

[@MM-ng8lj]

She shouldn't have received the same or I would go so far as to say, if Meri truly loved the entire family as her own including the kids as her own, she should have wanted to split the money fairly. If I were a plyg and were in the same shoes Meri was, I would love the sister wives littles and want the same for them that mine got, and that would mean splitting the money per kid type of thing. I do think Mykelti mentioned it in one patrion video she didn't understand why Meri received more. So it maybe was an underlying issue not talked about Edit; saw the entire video, Jenny brought up my point s 🖤

[@chelktty]

The distribution of the family funds should have been equitable, not equal. There should have been a calculation of funds per wife and kid and distributed as such. It wasn’t fair that Meri and her kid got to have anything they wanted while the other kids went without.

Is it possible that subconsciously Kody doesn't like Janelle and Christine because they saw him poor? They knew him pre show. Robyn's has always seen him as rich savior guy.

[@sharonwilson8208]

What did she say at the end of the video? That statement about the Nanny was separating her family from Kody's family... you're "married", does that not make you part of "the family"? What made her kids so special? Look at Christine and Janelle's kids. Most of them are total over achievers, smart, independent, living in their own homes before they married...an most have a degree. I would say that they did a fantastic job with their kids and Meri's kid, who's got a master's in something. What do Robyn's educated children do? One lives in a motor home in the garage, the others in the ivory palace waiting for Prince Charming 😅😢

I must have missed that comment... How does Robyn blame the Nanny for separating her kids from all of the others ? It must have been the beginning of them being pushed off of "The Brown Family Island". Ironic, now that Kody is taking over the contaminated Coyote Island, that both of their names are on...along with the four that "Robyn deserved", and the other 3 Kody says are his, now that Christine gave up her plot. Now Robyn has an inheritance for her kids. We don't know what Kody plans, because Robyn said he is not thinking right now. I just can't, with these people 🤡

[@sharonwilson8208]

@@lauriekurad It was in one of her word salad "poor me" and no tears. It just struck me odd that she had already separated her family from everyone else long before anyone was publicly having issues with Robyn. Robyn's comment was her's and them over there. Like her family was too good to mingle or get bad habits from the others. I thought Christine did great for knowing how much the groceries were, before the coupons! My husband used to tease me about coupons, until he realized I was saving $35+/month just with coupons. That was gas and food for vacation.

What would’ve been more accurate was if Robyn said, “Sometimes Janelle’s kids come over and the oldest kids watch all of them. They can’t eat at all while over though.” 😆 And that’s before she got a nanny! And at that point she never did watch them for her! Also loved the “their situations are different” explanation. 😆
