Sister Wives: 5 Threads, 5 Adults...Or Are There?

[Alice in Fundieland]

If only Nancy had handled catfishing the way she’s handling Axel’s birth. Wrap it up, indeed.

[Sky with diamonds]

Jenelle is really telling her

[Carm_88]

This is about Janelle's daughter's birth. Meri wanted them to beg her to be there. That's such bullshit! 

[SilverBeach]

Tell her Janelle! After decades together, why should they tiptoe around each other? Meri is defensive right out the gate. 

[Carm_88]

"Where would we have been Meri?" says Janelle. Of course! For fucks sake! That's the heights of nonsense. 

[Alice in Fundieland]

Ok, in Meri’s defense, Madison did say everyone was being kicked out during transition. So that makes it sound like Meri was trying to be respectful of Madison’s wishes while the other moms just pushed their way in.

I hate to admit it but I’m seeing both sides of this. Although if by now Meri isn’t comfortable enough to poke her head in the room to see how it’s going, that’s indicative of the bigger problems in the family dynamics.

ETA: Obviously, I don’t think they should’ve made it a point to track down Meri and invite her. I can just see how the misunderstanding might have occurred. Bottom line, if Meri would just get over herself she’d solve a lot of her problems.

[SilverBeach]

Christine is wrong. What good is therapy if they aren't going to be totally honest? Janelle doesn't want the happy event of her grandchild's birth overshadowed by Meri's bullshit. 

[Carm_88]

Of course Janelle was focused on Maddie and the baby. What else would she be focused on! 

[SilverBeach]

Meri should have been a tad more assertive, this wasn't about her. 

[Sky with diamonds]

Meri,is are so self asorbed. I'm appalled she is playing poor, pity me about this.

It seems like Maddie may have changed her mind though. Which, I think is normal. She may not have wanted anyone there but when the time came, she was tired and wanted that support. 

[SilverBeach]

Whatever happened, it wasn't intentional. Can't Meri cut them some slack? It's not about the birth anyway, lots of baggage here. Janelle has taken loads of crap from Meri, so I'm glad her mother bear is out. Just be happy for a healthy baby and mom. That's all that matters.

Why didn't Robyn or Christine leave?

Well shit shit shit.

1. The episode was such a snore that I took a minute to step to kitchen to pre prep my salad for lunch tomorrow. 

2. Where I opened the fridge and promptly spilled an entire huge bowl of fruit salad from the top shelf.

3. Which was tonight's version of popcorn disaster. 

4. So I missed the prelude to the Nancy session. 

5. When I got back to room I had to answer what I thought was a quick phone call from a friend. 

6. But I had don travel agent cap, which was fine.

7. But am still waiting for computer to reboot. Still.

8. What did I miss?  Absolutely nothing. Except poor mememememe. SMDH.

I agree. Why wouldn't Meri see it this way? Just move on. 

[SilverBeach]

What is done with the afterbirth at a home delivery?

Kody may have had a tad of hostility towards Meri here. Would have been better if this had been a hospital birth in this case.

Guess they were either invited to stay or weren't kicked out. 

[SilverBeach]

No tears please!

[Carm_88]

Oh god Robyn please don't start crying, you've been doing so well!

I think they just didn't offer to go, no special invitation was made.

 I think they really wanted to be there. I get the impression Meri didn't want to be there, and by playing poor, pity me is a cop out, IMO.

Sobbyn Robyn! Man, if looks could kill, that look on Meri's face when Christine is talking to her...

Too late! 

[ChickenettiLuvr]

Looking forward to Christine laying it out after the commercial. 

[Sky with diamonds]

Food fight? Lol!

[Carm_88]

Oh god My Sister Wives Closet. Let it Gooooooo!
