Christine has three children that are grifters, just like the adults in the family. It is time to stop giving them the attention they are demanding.

People who are paying for their Patron's are just feeding into their narcissism.

Several of them are talking smack. I don't know that I'd classify the kids as grifters. I do wonder what Christine thinks about what they have said.

You have to remember these kids have been on TV since they were young kids. They have a father that hardly had a thing to do with any of them. You have to think that has had an impact on them.

I believe Kody was involved when they were younger, especially the boys.

I think only Truly, Ysabel, and Gwen are the only ones that missed out on a meaningful relationship with Kody. I do know that Jenelle's kids missed out when they got older, but they did appear to have a solid relationship with Kody at least up to Vegas.

Well I honestly do not think any of the kids had a meaningful relationship with Kody. I guess they could have in their toddler yearsbut when Robyn came in the family and they moved to Las Vegas that all changed.

Yeah, I can see that, but Kody was at least making the rounds in Vegas. He pretty much stopped in AZ and blamed COVID.

Now, Tony is talking about Meri.

Short clip

Here's Mykelti

short clip

I love this post:

I’m going to repeat what I said on Tony’s post; why did Mykelti and Tony make a point of seeing Robyn and Kody, explaining that they still want to see them, when Robyn & Kody hurt Christine so badly? Meri can’t extend their air time and they still want that Bravo check? No interaction, no storyline..

Hope Meri survives this bullying… sure she made mistakes, but she is a human being and she has a broken heart- she passed through very bad times…

Exactly ......They are trying to keep that TLC money coming in. They haven't hardly been featured on the show since they married and when Mykelti gave birth.

Why Mykelti talked to Robyn and Kody is simple. M O N E Y

Indeed.

I don't think Mykelti is that smart. She is most likely the bread winner in the family, and she is trashing Meri, a fellow lularoe seller. That's against the rules, and Meri might be the person who she falls under. Most importantly, they might share the same customers, and they might leave Mykelti.

Tony is the primary breadwinner in the family; he works for a gaming software company in Lehi. That is the reason they moved to Lehi. He also seems to be the one that is in charge of their real estate and stock portfolio (he was a stock broker with Wells Fargo).

I think the Meri bashing is sour grapes because she is only person in the family with money and has had a steady income stream for the last 6 years. I think they think if they bring her down a few pegs it will promote them. Instead, the world is turning against Mykelti and Paedon. They were both difficult children and their mother didn't seem to set a lot of boundaries for them. Meri probably did. I'm sure that Meri telling Mykelti to change into a blouse that didn't show cleavage was quite psychologically abusive; also, telling Paedon to quit hitting his siblings was probably just traumatic for him.

I have written off Mykelti and Paedon as lost causes and grifters. They will do anything for a buck; including working at a strip club as a bouncer (Paedon).

Cliffnotes:

Gwen is going to Spain for her Spanish degree. Noel (her dog) will not be going with her because it would be too stressful on her and will be living with Christine. -Christine is not upset that Mykelti has a good relationship with Robyn, she feels that Mykelti’s relationship with Robyn has nothing to do with her relationship with Robyn and it isn’t any of her business -Gwen says transphobes do exists in the family but the majority of the family was supportive of Leon transitioning, Meri was the most supportive. She also says about 90% of the family was supportive -Gwen will not be inviting everyone in the family to her wedding, most of them but not everyone -As of now Robyn’s kids will not be pursuing polygamy -According to Gwen Christine did not initially know about the abuse that Meri was doing to the siblings and once she found out she put a stop to it. She also mentions that it was not physical, although she has stated before she remembers Meri being violent with Mykelti once -Paedon has stated that family members have asked Gwen to remove content from her Patreon but Gwen says no one has asked her to remove anything. Christine and Janelle did have concerns about Patreon in the beginning but she worked things out with them before posting anything. -Gwendlyn plans on paying for her own wedding, she feels proud of this -Gwen has tried discussing autism with Dayton as they both are autistic but he does not seem interested in talking about it -Upon the Meri abuse allegations coming out Meri did call Gwen and ask her how she was doing and what her experience with abuse was, Gwen thinks Meri has chosen to allow people to be upset with her –Gwens best memory of her dad is when the kids would feel nauseous, he would take them for ice cream, as it is better to throw up ice cream than anything else -Gwen says that Paedon implied Meri was physically abusive but that is not true, she says especially compared to her dad and himself (Paedon) -Gwen thought the sister wives closet jewelry was tacky and overpriced -About Christine and Paedon’s relationship and how Christine feels about how Paedon treated Gwen she simply replies, same as always, she’s a mom -Kody is not currently seeking another wife -Gwen thinks the negative feedback Kody receives just makes him ignore what he has done wrong even more, she doesn’t think he is getting better about this -Gwen says there are no fake storylines on Sister Wives -Gwen mentions that the only women Robyn is willing to talk to also have bad eyebrows, when someone commented about Robyn’s sperm shaped brows -Gwen thinks Kody is angrier now because he doesn’t have control over the kids like he did when they were younger, they have opinions now and that makes him angry -Gwen does not believe that Robyn was the reason that Kody stopped hitting the kids but that she was because she would always glare at him when he was hitting her so then he stopped hitting. The kids still want a relationship with him and not Meri because he is their father. Meri did not make the kids fight for her love like Kody did, so they are still fighting for it. -Gwen wants to be a psychiatrist that can speak Spanish so she can help people who speak either language

Paedon -Paedon says he likes Aurora and Dayton, he has a decent relationship with them but he doesn’t like how he has seen Breanna, Solomon, and Ariella be treated. Breanna became an immediate daddy's girl who can do no wrong in Kody’s eyes and Sol and Ari are the same way. -Paedon says that he has had covid twice and thinks Kody was wrecked by covid because he got it later on rather than earlier on -Paedon says that Robyn found a man (Kody) that would give up his effing children for her -Paedon says that Christine is a wonderful mother but she is a princess (just like Kody called her) because she exaggerates some things -Paedon doesn’t believe that Kody was actually that mad about Gabe and Garrison not following the covid rules but somebody (he didn’t say who) said something to Robyn and Robyn told Kody and that is when Kody got mad and Kody told Janelle I don’t want your sons talking to Robyn like that again -Paedon says Kody lost respect from people and he fought to get it back, but in the wrong ways -Mykelti says that she didn’t believe in soulmates but if they did exist she knew that Christine viewed Kody as her soulmate but Christine was not Kody’s soulmate, this happened way back in Vegas. -Paedons family friend/old boss says that Robyn was saying some things about Curtis after his death to Kody and since that day the family friend does not like Robyn -Truely goes out of her way to hug Hunter and Logan, she is not a big hugger. When Logan comes by Truely loves talking to him and Logan makes sure that when he is around he does focus and hang out with Truely so they have a good relationship. Paedon says there is not a separation between the older kids and younger kids, there is a separation between “your kids” and “our kids”. Aka Christine/Janelle's kids vs. Robyn’s kids -Paedon says when he was younger he spent the night at Janelle’s often to hang out with her sons, and in the morning he would wake up early and eat cereal with Janelle as she drank her coffee and they would just talk. That is why he is so close to her compared to the other moms. -Paedon mentions Leon stating they would educate anyone at Logan’s wedding if they called them She/Her. This is where Paedon said Leon was jealous of him getting attention for his strip club job and they didn’t get attention for their transition. -Paedon says he has not been in Kody’s house in over 2 years and he isn’t sure why Kody’s hair is so curly; he doesn’t think it is completely natural -Paedon believes that two of his siblings (Leon and Gwen) as well as atleast one of his moms live in a delusional world where they believe they never do anything wrong -Christine and a lot of the family nearly died laughing when they found out Kody and Robyn got covid despite their strict rules and drama surrounding covid they created -Paedon claims that Kody didn’t leave the house much (during covid) and didn’t get much sunlight, and says sunlight can help you beat sicknesses -Paedon says Janelle and Robyn are both hoarders but Janelle holds on to things that may be useful one day while Robyn hangs on to things like rugs -Paedon says that Polygamy is a nightmare -When one of the women at the interview states that she is a manipulative woman (as a joke), Paedon replies in my mind that just means woman. He said he was raised with many moms and sisters so he would know. -Paedon says he is good and smooth and he believes he could get with some of the strippers he works with. -Paedon is attracted to goth girls -Paedon said that Christine never had a husband who looked at her with aww and love -Paedon believes men can fall in and out of love with a woman 15 times a day while women fall in out of love once, if she is done with you, she is done with you -Paedon says that all men are a little stupid and all women are a little crazy -Paedon eludes that gay men are happier because they don’t have women in their lives, this comes from a comedian he listened to. -Paedon says women keep men from being happy (it appears to come off as a joke but I’m not so sure) -Paedon claims that Gwen said she couldn’t possibly be sexist because she is a girl -Paedon believes that the world is terrible for everyone and all groups have it horrible in different ways and Gwen just doesn’t want to see that

Paedon is just like his father.

Gwen thinks that she can go to Spain to study Spanish in preparation for doing counseling with Spanish speakers in North America? It is like teaching apples and oranges to talk to each other. Depending on the region Spaniards speak Castilian or Basque. The Spanish language in North America is different enough that it creates problems. She would be better off by doing an immersive study in Guatemala or Mexico.

That is true to a certain degree, but I had a co-worker who did the same thing. I live in CA, and the people know that there is a difference. However, the message still gets across. I guess it's like England English vs. American English.

The best analogy I have heard is that it is like comparing Shakespearean English to Australian English. There may be a lot lost in translation.
