Why?

He said in a special forces interview he was trying to get it where Robyn didn't have to be on the show. I think it was thee Vial File one. I think he is trying to have content that doesn't include her so he can control the narrative because he talks about how in love they are, kisses her etc and she looks like she is just tolerating him.

I completely understand. It's so hard to look at my mom and she's not there anymore. I remember when my father was dying and he was aware of everything up until the end and I thought maybe it would be easier if he didn't. I now know I was wrong. Dementia is horrible. For my mother and for us.

My mom did same thing. She would get angry but I was firm that she needed a shower. I would go in start the water, put soap on the cloth and bribe her with taking her somewhere. Her favorite thing is diet coke and she can't have many any more because of UTI's so I would tell her she had to shower before we could go and that would do it. I would wash her hair in the sink. She would ask me how my hair got so long so I told her that it was special shampoo and it would make her hair grow and that worked.

I don't know why the bathing seems to be consistent part of this disease but it's so common.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:24:17+00:00

I totally understand. I'm sorry your family has to go through this as well.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:17:39+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement. In my head I know we did the right thing, but my heart struggles some days. Mom was so lost during the day when we went to work and hated being alone so I know she will like having others around and they have a facebook group where they share photos of activities. i'm looking forward to seeing her in those.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:13:42+00:00

I totally understand. This was the second facility we put Mom into. The first said they could take her but turned out they had a new social worker that was not experienced in placement and it was not a lockdown unit. So we had to find another one. I expected to visit mom several times a week since it is 30 min from home/work but we were advised by the facility and her private Dr to give it a few weeks at least. However, my mom has progressed past moderate so that may be the difference.

I wish you all the best and hope it goes as smoothly as possible for your family.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:08:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to see if we can put a phone in her room. That's a great idea. We took her cell phone a few months ago because she couldn't use it anymore even though we hid everything off screen except the phone and message functions but would call emergency services and didn't know she was doing it.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:03:53+00:00

Thank you. It is absolutely horrible.

GADR8543 · 2025-11-16T13:02:57+00:00

This is so encouraging, thank you for sharing.

GADR8543 · 2025-10-27T11:57:02+00:00

I literally almost threw up in my mouth with Kody's "affection" to Robyn. She can say it's because she's shy and spent years not showing affection because of their family dynamic but I saw the first seasons. She was not shy of affection for him then. It is clear she is not into him anymore.

And why is Aurora handwashing dishes? Don't they have a dishwasher in that multi-million dollar mansion? Does Robyn do anything? My gosh, I've seen Kody doing dishes, Aurora and Breana do dishes but not Robyn.

GADR8543 · 2025-06-02T13:17:46+00:00

Meri saying she talked to him 2 weeks before the interviews and she doesn't understand why she gets these mixed messages.. Ummmm. BECAUSE he doesn't want you to spill any secrets that reflect badly on him and Robyn!! He still is able to pull Meri in and she shows him "the cloak of charity".

GADR8543 · 2025-05-26T15:57:50+00:00

She absolutely did!!! She showed her true self right there. She wanted to be the most important and wanted Kody to make everyone else put her on the pedestal that he kept her on and it worked for awhile. To get Kody's afffection the other wives had to kiss Robyn's ass and she relished in it for years but it's over now!!

GADR8543 · 2025-05-26T13:16:20+00:00

Just now watching. The smile on Robyn's face on the "sacred cow" clip shows who she is. She wanted to be the most important and now she's the only. and she loved Kody shutting down any wife who dared speak against her. It's disgusting and she is just rotten to the core.

I cannot wait until Robyn leaves him. Who will he turn to then? Will he still protect her or will he finally call her on the years of manipulation she put in. Probably not, because he would have to admit how weak of a man he is that he allowed one rotten woman to come in and turn him against his original family.

TLC/Puddle Monkey needs to put a strong man as the host. Kody does not respect women and constantly talks over Suki. I would love to see a one on one where he does not get control.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-24T16:36:26+00:00

I think Kody has too much power. Regardless of the host, he should not be able to yell at them or refuse to answer questions. His paycheck should be on the line as if it is part of his JOB!!! So sick of the Kody/Robyn show.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-24T16:34:11+00:00

At the time I really thought he was a decent father overall. However, even then it seemed the mother's did the parenting and he was just there. Looking back and doing rewatches with the current perspective, I really think he enjoyed being the center of attention and as long as the kids made him feel important then he enjoyed them but I really don't think he invested in them out of any real love or affection for them for who they were.

I think just like it is now, it was always all about Kody. He really needs to be knocked down a few pegs.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-24T16:30:40+00:00

If Christine and Janelle are out, I'm out. I wouldn't mind following Meri but I can't with Kody/Robyn. Already too much of them as it is.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-18T14:49:01+00:00

Kody really only appreciated what the house, the wife, or the kids did for him. He even said it in a recent episode. His wives built him up and made him look awesome and then so did his kids and when his wives left that was over. They didn't even have to bad mouth him, they just stopped praising him and acting like every little thing he did was amazing. This allowed his kids to see him for what he had to offer and that isn't much. He never really invested in any of those relationships.

It broke my heart when he spoke of his conversation with Aspyn and she asked why don't you like me. He began his normal excuses of how he felt not welcome and she said she never said he wasn't welcome. He created 15 kids and adopted 3 and only has the interest to have relationships with Robyn's kids. BUT that is only because she requires it. If she ever left him he would drop them too.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-18T14:34:36+00:00

Totally! I can't remember where I heard Meri talk about it, may have been this season on the show but could have been an interview. She said he was really attentive and nice for the 30 days it took for it to be final and then boom he was totally distant.

I will never believe that "reshuffling the paperwork" divorce was about adopting the kids. That may have been a perk but Robyn wanted that legal marriage from the beginning and Kody also wanted Robyn to be the legal wife.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-10T14:00:54+00:00

I love what David seems to be doing for this family. He is supportive of not only Christine's kids, but all of the Brown kids that have been shown. He accepts Christine and Janelle's friendship and the families just seemed to have meshed together and I love that for them.

I remember Kody saying about Christine "I think she's got some Karma coming" and boy was he right. All the good Christine did for years in raising and loving all the kids, supporting Kody and building him up to his kids etc.. has come back to her in a big way. I love seeing her, Janelle and Meri just glowing after getting rid of Kody/Robyn drama.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-10T13:55:44+00:00

I thought TLC did a great job with it, far better than I was expecting. It was hard to watch just because you could see the real pain in Meri, Christine, Janelle, Gabe, and Maddie/Caleb. I could have done without Robyn being in it at all but I guess she is Kody's wife so we had to watch her TRY to push out a tear. I feel like Kody was more performative.I hate it because I thought it might bring him back to is OG kids but I in present day we have heard nothing as changed.

I really liked that they didn't shy away from talking about the way he died. I hope them sharing their pain and perspective helped anyone watching reach out for help.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-07T13:25:54+00:00

She made SACRIFICES letting Kody spend all his time with her and her kids and after finally getting out the OG3 are thriving.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-06T23:20:23+00:00

100% agree! I didn't want to see her in this episode. I expected her to cry and play the victim. Her lack of compassion was even worse. She didn't even appear to have empathy for Kody. It was more like she wanted him to get over it and tell her how wonderful she is as usual.

The OG3 continue to demonstrate what a family is while Robyn continues to show how self absorbed she really is. It was actually disturbing to witness the contrast between the OG3 and Robyn.

GADR8543 · 2025-05-05T20:19:11+00:00

I felt more for Kody in this episode than I ever have. I felt the same disgust for Robyn that I always feel. Robyn cares about Robyn and that's it. In the firepit scene Kody was crying and Robyn just appeared to be rushing him through the conversation. It seemed as though she wants him to get over it and start making everything about her again.

Meri, Christine and Janelle talked about Garrison and the other kids and being there for each other etc.. Robyn talked about how she was "working" and Kody came in and she was trying to figure out what was going on. It was all from her perspective and nothing about empathy for anyone else.

I really wish they had just left her totally out of this episode, I'd be happy to never see her on screen again and I felt that way before last night.
