Robyn WOULDN’T LET Christine mother her kids. She hired her niece to come into the home and nanny the kids! Christine expressed that hurt her feelings and Kody said NOTHING.
I remember that episode and Robyn was all like are we really doing this right now? Because Christine brought it up on their couch interview. She was very willing to be a mother to Robyn’s kids
I kind of love the irony that the show started out with the intention of painting polygamy in a positive light in an attempt to prove "misconceptions" of how toxic and abusive it is wrong, but in the end it just gave people an in-depth look on just some of the many reasons why polygamy is wrong.
It didn’t though. They used polygamy to garner acceptance for gay marriage which was legalized 5 years later. That’s why they don’t care if polygamy looks bad now. Bc they softened people to alternative marriage enough to get gay marriage passed.
This episode was the precise moment Sister Wives turned Escaping Polygamy and we are ALL here for it! The best part is after Christine left Kody, Janelle and Meri left him too (along with their $$$). Most of his (adult) kids don’t speak to him now and he is spiralling due to narcissistic injury. Honestly, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy 😂😂😂
Meri didn’t leave. She got left and took year’s to realize it. Big difference. The other two chose to walk away. As someone who gathered the strength to leave a abusive relationship I find it incredibly insulting when people give Mari the same credit when she didn’t actually do the leaving. She advocates that woman shouldn’t leave and stay is the real show of strength. Fuck Meri she deserves to burn in hell.
This just proves that the worst thing you could ever do to a Narc, is to show them how easy it is to move on without them & be happy. They cannot cope with that at all!
My issue with Christine's kids at night... she cared for all the kids during the day and not one parent in that house could care for her kids at night when she was working? All of them owed it to her!
Especially Meri! The only mother with ONE CHILD to care for. Who it would have been easiest for, to help and take of Christine's kids. But selfish Meri wouldn't do that for any one of them but Robyn who would prefer to waste family money on having a stranger watch her children because she is "so for polygamy" 😂
His and Christine’s daughter needed spinal surgery as daughter in lots of pain daily. His suggestions included just waiting until Covid over or having daughter travel by HERSELF across country to have major surgery unaccompanied.
Yeah, this is exactly the point where I checked out on Kody being a kind human being. That was really outrageous. He probably created a lifelong wound for his daughter. 😡
He wanted her to put it off that poor girl was regularly in an 8-9 pain level daily. And then he didn't go because of covid allegedly. That girl was hurt that her dad wasn't there to support her. And he wonders why a lot of his kids grew distant from him.
Wait until you've spent 5 years traveling with a man sleeping naked, idiot shits on me when I'm asleep, throws me into the wall, so he can "do laundry, because he's embarrassed ". I haven't went to sleep with him since. He can't understand why? I don't care about him shutting, I care about what he did to my face when I was asleep.
“What do you do all day?” Likes he’s forgotten her raising ALL of his children except Robyn’s because SHE had to hire an unrelated nanny. I firmly believe that was because she saw how close all of the kids were to Christine and didn’t want hers to like her that much.
Robyn hired her* younger sister as a nanny. The older girls said they needed a nanny because Kody and Robyn were “locked in the bedroom all day.” 🤨. Goes to show what polygamy is really all about.
@@chilltartsRobyn is the one that had a large Victoria Secret bill. She achieved favorite wife on her knees/back. I’m surprised she didn’t just strap a mattress to her back to make it even easier.
I forgot how Christine spoke out so much this episode! I think it's important for people to hear your commentary because you have the insight of how embedded their indoctrination is!
Right?! As I was watching her get progressively tipsier and mad, I was thinking to myself “this is the reaction we all deserve”! 😂😭 I hope she does more!
@@oleander20760She earned it not just for the entertainment factor in this video but also for her part in helping my own therapy journey throughout several of her videos. To relive childhood trauma in such a public way is not just brave but helpful to others that are going through it. Though I find her journey and humor helpful I hope Amanda puts herself first and continues to grow. Love this channel and overall positivity I find here🫶
What Kody said about Christine not being willing to mother Robyn's kids?? LIAR! Christine asked Robyn if she could watch her kids and Robyn flat out said No. The thing to know about Kody in this episode or any of the last 3 seasons is that everything out of his mouth is a lie.
@@sjohnson65456Goblyn is hilarious!🤣 I like to call her Sobbin' Robyn, cuz she's always crying & playing the victim. Ughhh those eyebrows when she does cry drive me crazy!!🤣
@@rachaelkopp3792 She cries constantly, it seems like at least a few times if not several times every episode, it has become unbelievable, I don't believe her. Crying all the time is manipulative.
Christine is, by far, the prettiest of all the wives. She is also the sharpest, including being smarter than Cody, which is most certainly why he's not attracted to her.
Theyre all radiant now. even meri, shes looking good in her instagram posts. almost as if dropping the stress of a controlling and abusive husband gives them a new life with less stress
Janelle is smarter than him too. And look at her young pics. She was soooo pretty. She is just so unselfish that she let herself be taken advantage of emotionally and financially.
What happened in Lehi was Robyn, Christine had experienced a miscarriage prior to getting preganant with Truely so she was considered high risk, krody instead of sticking around when Christine was 9 months along he was driving 5 hours one way to visit Robyn, when Christine could go into labor any time... gurl you need to have a livestream so we can get you up to speed lol BTW his office is at Robyn's he was there EVERY DAY,!
Amanda, pls just binge watch from this point forward. You MUST watch this continue on and play out. Girl, you will be so pleased with regard to not only Christine’s story but ultimately Janell and Meri wake up as well.
And in one episode I remember BOTH Kody and Robin were explaining how in polygamy the woman owns both her room and her marriage bed.. I guess that's a lie too lol
I want her to get caught up and watch the whole thing blowing up, and all the lies are being exposed! I'd love to see her reaction because everything she's pointing out is spot on!!!
Kody is just awful. He gaslights constantly, but he doesn't seem to realize all of it is on video. He has also never been present in Truely's life and makes a big deal about her taking Truely away. We all know he was just grasping at straws. Wait till you get to the current season. Boy howdy, will that make you want to yank his noodle hair out 😅
TOO FUNNY! During the intro when you said “as soon as I get triggered I’ll open a bottle of wine”, I thought “just open it now, girl, and have a couple of backups”. 😂
I had to laugh right off the bat when you called Cody’s hair “noodle hair” 🤣🤣 When Leah was still live streaming, she used a headband to hold ramen on her head for a Cody costume.
Best Sister Wives commentary!!! Roasting the noodle head is my favorite thing to witness. 🤣🤣 Thank you, Amanda. I’d really love to see more of this……ONLY if you can stomach doing it.
I just finished binge-watching the whole friggin series, and these last couple of seasons have been delicious with Kody getting his come-uppance. I only hope Robyn sees the light and leaves his narcissistic ass as well.
Your commentary and perceptiveness would make someone think that you've watched the whole series. I TOTALLY enjoyed this video! I'd selfishly love for you to do this for all of the epis
I love how you said he looks pregnant after the recent six pack and pecks comment he made on the show 🤣🤣🤣 Also, to avoid the pain of watching this show I recommend watch the tell alls instead. They cover all the drama of the season and you don’t have to watch the whole show. Giving you tips to save money on this show ☺️
I could listen to your take on this family for hours. Your thoughts are really valid and you make great points about each of them. You have Kody pegged to a T. I won’t watch the show because I’m not going to give him a dime of my money. I signed up for Cooking with just Christine, I don’t mind giving her a few bucks here and there. I could spill some tea about what’s happening with everything as of today but I won’t ruin for anyone else who is watching for the first time. Thank you Amanda for everything you are doing for people who want to escape this cult and others.❤️🇨🇦
I've watched this show since it started (it's kind of like watching a car wreck in slow motion over 18 seasons lol). Kodi is incredibly immature. His fighting style is that of a 5 year old, and I'm pretty convinced he has full blown NPD.
I really want to see you and the crew from Fundie Fridays have a big discussion about this show, between Jen's knowledge of the whole drama and your own insider's insight, I think it would be a great conversation
This is so great! We can only hope that someday every woman facing an entitled man will have a wise friend standing beside her doing a play-by-play honest commentary on that last “I am done; it’s over, babe” conversation. Until that happens, this is an amazing stand-in. Thank you, Amanda, for being that sassy best friend that so many of us need. You are such a gift! Thank you thank you. 💜🙏🥰
You should watch the episode where they're talking about their book and Christine finds out that Cody almost didn't marry her because she ate nachos. He was so disgusted by her eating the nachos. So when Christine says her heart has been broken for years believe her. No woman, no wife, no girlfriend, wants to hear their significant other say something to them like that.
And on national television to boot! Can you imagine how humiliated she must’ve felt?! I felt literally felt sick for her. She’s she seems like such a lovely person. She was like the soul of the family AND she’s beautiful and inside and out. It’s WILD TO ME that Kody thought it was okay to write about how disgusted he was by her and THEN go on about it on tv like this was a perfectly acceptable thing to say about your wife! I mean, WHO DOES THAT?! Ahhhhh!! 😅 I’m SO glad the OG3 all left him and I hope “the love of his life” does too. He deserves whatever is coming for him!
My heart broke for her when she talked about her wedding day being sad. Wanted to smack Kody on the head and tell him to get it together and give her a special vow renewal or something. But no, for him she just needed to accept that and be okay with it.
He really had the audacity to basically say that the poison in their whole relationship is her not accepting him being with other women. Man of the year award to this guy am I right? Jesus Christ, Kody is the walking definition of a narcissist. I hope that woman truly left that relationship with him & that she found exactly what she wanted in life. All power to Christine ❤
She even has a wedding special coming out in January! Best part, it’s her own special so Kody and Robyn can’t get their money-hungry fingers on ANY of her income ❤❤❤
YOU are a riot! You absolutely nailed Cody, and you’ve only watched TWO episodes! Damn that’s impressive. Spoiler Alert: Christine is now absolutely living her best life! As are ALL the other wives! Because Robyn finally has Cody all to herself (but she’s even complaining about that 😂). That’s right, they ALL left him, except Robyn of course!
The cutting her off whilst she is making her point irritates me so much! He does the same thing with Janelle, until she says to go “F” himself…🤪💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I feel like the wives all paid for Robyn’s debt and they are still the only ones working.. I haven’t been watching.. but who pays for the nanny? Etc etc?! Ugh!!
Amanda, your expressions are PRICELESS!! Your insight, having come from back background, gives the broader picture of how common women in Polygamous families don't have much of a voice. It's obvious from watching just this one episode, how much Kody interrupts and re-invents the narrative. I can't wait for the next one you review, I'll enjoy a glass of wine with you when I watch that one!! LMAO Noodle hair!!
Kody and Robyn both have a Rolex. They upgraded all their jewelry in the past few years with the money from the family pot that was only filled by Meri, Janelle, and Christine.
Christine offered to watch Robyn's kids, even though unlike Janelle, Robyn was not working, but Robyn wouldn't let her, and instead got a nanny. I Loved your coverage and an your insight on this episode, Thank You Amanda! Looking forward to more.
Thank you for just straight up calling him a narc because he is. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to say she sprung it on him after not being around her for years (She said only 3 times in 800 days, which is about 2 years) and saying he refuses to have an intimate marriage with her and was not attracted her. I can't imagine why she would choose to leave a situation like that. He just does not get it.
He "bought" this and that with the OG3 wives' money (except Robyn - who has NO job). Also, in Robyn's "paid for by the OG3 wives" McMansion, she had an office for Kody, so he never has to leave her house. You're going to need to watch these with a CASE of wine from this point on! ::cheers:: to you!
LOL, I was married to an LDS guy. I learned what it was like to a have a Temple marriage. I'm divorced now, thank G-D. I love being single, when I was married, I missed being single. Also, my ex-family didn't like my family because my family was not in the church.
The man-child, out-of-control, only care about myself and Robyn, tantrum-throwing toddler has the NERVE to tell her what people who are adulys do! I think Robyn started as an affair - I think she set up the whole "running into Kody and Meri thing" because she decided she wanted to join this family, knowing they were going to have a television show.
The show itself is such a ride rise and fall of a family is crazy to watch , love your commentary and insight is so honest and you are hilarious. Even if this is the last one id rather you never make another one to not be triggered. Stay amazing!
Hey Amanda, love your reaction and channel! I would like to add that you should check out Season 8 Episode 7/9 (its showing up different for me on streamers but it's called Divorce) for context about how Christine Really felt about Robyn and her children. It truly showcases better than any other moment I think how much she felt for those kids and loved and considered them all her own and Robyn an important part of the family. No one ever mentions it or has gone back and looked over it, and it drives me crazy that the show especially has never brought this up when Kody and Robyn have spun that she didnt accept them. You dont have to watch the whole thing, its about at the halfway point where Meri and Robyn sit Janelle and Christine down to tell them about the legal divorce/marriage and adoption of Robyn's kids. Christines reaction is so genuine and immediately over the moon with joy, so its infuriating and heartbreaking to see her painted as having the total opposite feelings.
YES Amanda!!!! People will tell me I'm just as bad or an asshole too because I don't give a SHIT how I speak on or treat assholes. But being an asshole to an asshole doesn't make you one. It's just giving them what they give out!!!!
you missed the episode where he could not go to his daughters (his and christine's) spine surgery in another state because of covid (not when it was at the worse for covid but towards the end) but he could go to his friends wedding so he could be the officiant
I would love love love more vids of your commentary on Sisterwives. Really love your work. Thanks you for being brave and finding the strength to share your story as well as those of many others whose stories need to be heard. Your character shines through as does your love (and pain) both for the family you do still have in your life and for the family still in the group that requires you to be estranged (at best) with them. I can’t imagine how hard it must be and all the feelings any of these videos, shows, memories & experiences have on a person. All I know is YOU ARE ONE POWERFUL WOMAN AMANDA. You have many reasons to be very proud of the person you were, are & will continue to become. Please be kind to yourself. You are helping to heal the world by speaking on these important things. You are truly inspirational and your altruistic intentions shine bright each time I see you here in YT land. I hope you enjoy a lovely holiday season. ✌🏼💜🌈🌷🤟🏼
28:35 right there that’s the moment when she should have rose up acted like Jesus Christ, flipped that table over on that double handed bastard, and horse whipped him till he ran from out of her house!
Amanda, I too am concerned about Christine's "better than Kody" next relationship. You are right-on. The mindset of a mistreated person is very likely to be as you described.
I think you should keep watching. The season you're watching is mostly about Christine leaving and the next season is mostly about Meri and Janelle leaving.
Amanda your breakdown of the dynamics of this show was great. I could not watch it either cause it was so troubling (sick). If it triggers you too kuch, don't do it. But I think your analysis was great and helped us to really understand what's going on here. Maybe your friends could watch it with you for Support and added input. That would be cool also.
😂 I am dying with your impersonations! I watched this show off and on Kody is an interesting person but I sure like your take on him. “Cooking and cleaning…” Noodle head
