For those who watch Sister Wives (clicky poll)

I don't watch this show religiously... but if it happens to be on I watch it. I think it's great that they are featuring someone that is having TTTC on this show. Even though they obviously want their privacy, I wish they would share more information to educate the public about it. They said they have been TTC for years and gone to doctors with no luck, but haven't specified much more (that I've seen). Then again I would imagine that timing can be difficult when you have to schedule sex in advance, before you know possible O times.

Anyways, there has been lots of talk on the show about how Meri may/may not deserve as big of a home as the other wives because she only has one kid. In one way I do sympathize with her because as she puts it she shouldn't be punished for it because if it was her choice she would have enough kids to fill the 5-6 rooms in her home. I felt for her when she said that. But on the same token, if the family is struggling (who knows how true that is) to afford things then I think she should be practical and say she doesn't need a home with 6 rooms when it's just she and her daughter (who will move out soon), a wet bar, etc. She just comes off as spoiled. What do you think?

ETA: Ugh sorry it won't let me do paragraphs. Stupid TB!

What do you think about Meri wanting a big house?

  • She deserves just as much as the other wives get (22.3%)
  • She should get the same budget as the other wives but should be willing to bend if budget is tight (50.5%)
  • She should get a smaller budget for her and her one child (25.2%)
  • SS* (1.9%)
  • Total Votes: 103

I love that show. I haven't watched the last episode yet. It's on my DVR to-do list for tonight. I feel bad for Meri. She always wanted more kids but was only able to have 1.

I honestly wish they could build a house like they had in Utah again. I think that was really the best situation for everyone involved.

I agree.... though part of this whole argument didn't make sense to me. When they were debating about being able to finance 4 homes. If they were all willing to live in the same house then why would it be a huge deal if they only qualified for 3 and then have Meri and one of the other wives live together (at least temporarily)? I get the thought behind it that it could cause drama between the wives that get their own house but to me that seems petty and against the whole idea of having sister wives with everything so separate. If times are really that hard for you then two people sharing a home shouldn't be a big deal.

I think she's my fave too... with Robyn coming in second

ETA: Though I think it's a little bit odd that she was allowed into the family despite the fact that she was already divorced (guess it shows I don't know much about polygamy). Sounds horrible, but when I see her all I think is that Kody was tired of having sex with his "older" wives and wanted a younger sex toy. Kinda makes him look like a prick.

I feel bad  for Meri, but the new wife has offered to be her surrogate and she hasn't tried ivf from what I understand. It annoys me that she is always crying about it, but when an option comes up she doesn't want to try anything else. I know I'm only 4 almost 5 months into TTC and she is years into TTC. But, I would do everything possible to have kids even adopt.

Oh man, I watched all of it on Netflix! It's crazy! I felt bad about Meri and the fact that they are having money problems and he decided to marry again! So he "adopted" her three kids and then she becomes pregnant!

 

I haven't thought about that show in a while. lol

I feel so bad for Meri and how Janelle has treated her regarding the house situation. I can see both sides of it though. I wish she would do IVF. Every time I watch her talk about struggling for a second, I cry.

The house in Utah was one house, but they all had their own "houses" within the house.  They all had their own kitchen, living room, bedrooms... all that stuff. They all keep their relationships with Cody separate so I think sharing the same single house would be odd. I don't think one sister wife would want to hear him having sex with another sister wife! lol

I watch this show, and I am torn too. I see the whole "equality" thing but in a true family everything isn't always equal, there is a give and a take. I think that Meri should initially get the same budget but be a little more inclined to give a little for the rest of the family if need be. If she truly sees all of those other children as her children why wouldn't she want whats best for the family as a whole and not just focus on her obsession with a wet bar.. ive never even noticed her drinking?? 

 IDK I just think it is a bit crazy for her and her one child to live in a 5 bedroom house while the other moms live with their kids squeezed in somewhere..

 The way she described it is that she feels too young to be an empty nester but too old to be a new mom. Her daughter is almost an adult and she's worried that she won't be able to handle a newborn at her age.

I understand that. I was just raised that is something is wrong fix it or you don't have the right to complain. Which I am learning is not easily done with TTC. I am torn because I don't understand her wanting a year to decide.

The housing issue. I'm not saying that she should only get a 2 bedroom house. Maybe a 4 bedroom house and not a 5 or 6 bedroom.

I'm with you on Kody. I just don't know what these women see in him. I do feel for Mery, shes in a tough spot and I can't imagine what she's going through.

She deserves the same the others get.  I think as the first wife, she deserves that.  Also, when they were trying to get approved for their home loans, she had no issues while two of the others did.  I think it's unfair that she's been financially responsible but yet would be expected to sacrifice for the sake of the others who weren't as responsible, regardless of the number of children each of them has.  Limiting her budget seems like a punishment for something she has no control over.   

It would be nice of her to bend a little for the greater good of the entire family, but I don't think she should have to and I think it's unfair for the other wives to expect her to.

I was wondering the same thing?? Because two of the moms are stay at home moms, and don't get an official " paycheck " yet his name was only on Meri's loan, so how did the others get financing ?

LOL!  I think Kody is horribly disgusting and he acts like a 16 year old boy. 

I'm not caught up on this season, so I could be missing some important details, but I'll reply anyway!  In a way, I think Meri should have the same housing "allowance" as the other wives BUT she did choose this lifestyle, knowing that she would have to sacrifice and share with her sister wives. It's probably unnecessary for her to have a large house and if it were me, I would feel lonely in a big house all alone or with just one child.  I think it's a complicated situation, since they all share certain parts of their lives (like their gross husband) and yet have some independence as well.

Wow really?  IVF, surrogacy, adoption etc isn't for everyone for a number of reasons...personal beliefs, finances, etc.  Just because you're unable/unwilling to try certain options doesn't mean you don't deserve to be upset over not being able to get pregnant.

I was wondering how no one had commented on this yet.  That's a pretty insensitive view point, especially when it comes to IF.

It's much easier to pay bills for two people on the same amount of money that the other women are having to use for 6-8 people, don't you think?  Also, since she and Kody are the only two who are "lawfully" married, Meri got to have the breadwinner of the family on her application which, I'm sure, made it much more appealing.

She deserves the same the others get.  I think as the first wife, she deserves that.  Also, when they were trying to get approved for their home loans, she had no issues while two of the others did.  I think it's unfair that she's been financially responsible but yet would be expected to sacrifice for the sake of the others who weren't as responsible, regardless of the number of children each of them has.  Limiting her budget seems like a punishment for something she has no control over.   

It would be nice of her to bend a little for the greater good of the entire family, but I don't think she should have to and I think it's unfair for the other wives to expect her to.   

It's much easier to pay bills for two people on the same amount of money that the other women are having to use for 6-8 people, don't you think?  Also, since she and Kody are the only two who are "lawfully" married, Meri got to have the breadwinner of the family on her application which, I'm sure, made it much more appealing.

This is what I was thinking, too

I agree, it would be easier.  But if that's how their family works- everyone gets an equal amount- it's not fair to penalize her for having a smaller family.  Also, I'm sure it helped that Kody was able to be on her application but I think that's irrelevant here.  Christine is a SAHM.  Janelle works.  Christine had no problem qualifying while Janelle barely qualified.  They each have 6 children.  I think it would be unfair for either of them to have to sacrifice because the other was struggling financially.  

I'm sure there are other factors that need to be considered, but regardless, I don't think it's fair to punish Meri for having a smaller family- especially since it's not by choice.   

 ETA: I meant to quote CiderWench

 This is what I think of every time I see Kody..

DEAD over this!!!  I think Meri should get a smaller house because her part of the family is smaller.  It's not like she should live in a shack while the others live in big awesome houses, but it has been made clear that they are struggling financially, so why would the wife with only one child get a house to accomodate 5?
