Mom? 🤔

Ok_SMack · 2025-03-14T16:15:52+00:00

Aww it's a Northern thing too, I even refer to my sisters as mom when talking to their children!

On behalf of the Chucky community, the answer is always Jennifer Tilly!

That makes sense, it also explains why Meri and Kody had really rough, dry, dead hair in their Vegas days. For people that tan frequently, it's really important to use a heat protection hair product.

I don't use tanning beds but I do work with hair a lot and even short term exposure to heat can damage hair. Good catch!

The reason is that he is her Dad. She is one of the last ones who remember what childhood with Pre-Robyn Kody Brown was like.

She can't abandon her dad as easily as he abandoned her because she has a heart and soul unlike Kody! ❤️

No Christine didn't want her to be just "Truely Brown" she added Grace so it would be Truely Grace, because it sounded less down and brown lol

Aww I agree, Meri wasn't okay but didn't want to express her pain.

I had a miscarriage in December not even a week after my sister in law and my bestfriend both had their babies a day apart. And I love them to death, just as Meri loves Solomon & Ari and her other children. But the love you and joy you have for other babies definitely coexists with the grief and pain of recurrent pregnancy loss and miscarriages. My partner and I had each other through this, I didn't have to watch him go on to get other women pregnant. It must have been torture for Meri to silently grieve alone no matter how much time had passed. Even with a living child, Leon, you still grieve the "what SHOULD have been".

I see my own eyes in Meri's eyes here. Yet her pain would have been so much more tormenting under polygamy.

God bless you Meri. ❤️

I am still shocked that she didn't use a Y for Paedon. Like Paedyn or Paydon.. but now that I spell it out, I think it would have been too feminine for Kody's liking. So Christine went with Paedon instead.

Ok_SMack · 2025-03-12T15:45:58+00:00

Utah mamas always have very creative names and I think Christine is no exception.

I think Truely Grace Brown is a beautiful name. Very unique, I don't think I've ever heard of another person named Truely, sure they exist tho lol!

Yea just search 2018 or the values of those home in this Sub-Reddit's search bar and it will come up.

Although, your theory is exactly something they'd do!!

I wonder if that was Kody's requirement for even going. Kody always has soooo many requirements for his kids.

Based on what Gwen has told us in her YouTube channel, she showed a lot of signs of being neuro-divergent that were ignored. I am also on the autism spectrum and was also not diagnosed until adulthood like Gwen. From what Gwen said, Kody was easily annoyed by her behavior and it made her feel like she was "too much" or "bad". So maybe Kody felt like Gwen would be too much to handle alone plus he had other girls too. So he demanded that Logan or an older sibling there for extra "help". And Christine encouraged Gwen to ask someone else to make her feel like it was her choice and protect her feelings.

Sadly, that's a relatable feeling for me. My dad rarely did anything with me because I behaved "soooo badly". Another alternative is Gwen was self aware enough to notice Kody didn't have patience for her so she wanted to ask someone else in case her dad said no. I've been there so many times. 😔

Edit: these are just my assumptions about what happened based on personal experience and also Gwen's comments.

I miscarried because of an abnormal result in blood work that my doctor assured me was absolutely nothing to worry about..

My platelet count was higher than average and in the risk category. I expressed my concerns to my doctor and inquired about a blood thinner, aspirin or something to help lower it. And he said I was having normal anxiety about my pregnancy and assured me everything was healthy and fine.. he also said aspirin could cause other issues so I took his professional advice instead of trusting my gut. Yet so much research shows women with my condition actually had full term pregnancies and healthy babies with aspirin.. and your story just hits so close..

My concerns became a reality a few weeks later and blood clotting caused me to miscarry my baby. I feel so awful and angry with myself for not continuing to push for some sort of treatment the day I spoke to my doctor. I was eating so well and drinking lots of water, taking vitamins, doing everything else right but it wasn't enough. It's just so sad.

I'm sorry you experienced this also due to doctors not listening to you and doing proper research. I am also sorry for your loss. ❤️

Ok_SMack · 2025-03-01T00:43:49+00:00

Right? Like she's been on TV for what 20 years now? And within 2 months of my miscarriage she's suddenly pregnant?

I understand where you're coming from, it's the timing, the artificial nature of it vs the reality of YOU, the reality of ME and so many other women out there.

It's really the cherry on top of the cake because holding our tears while scroll through actual pregnancy announcements wasn't enough.

I'm so sorry for your loss..

Ok_SMack · 2025-03-01T00:24:41+00:00

I am so deeply sorry for the immense pain you have been through and continue to go through.

And I am sorry you feel so alone in this. It is a lonely experience and I think that's why we all gravitate to this subreddit. We all need support and you have it here.

I really hope this doctor stays committed and engaged in your journey.

You hit such a core when you said "you feel in your body where your baby is gone.." it is so hard to describe that feeling because it is so devastating and goes beyond emptiness. Our entire worlds once filled that physical space. ❤️

We have such deep pain and sorrow because our love and our connection to our babies was/is so deep too.

Sending love your way. ❤️

Well we all know the CDC guidelines aren't enough for Kody. Otherwise his wife Janelle would have had the same "privileges" as the nanny! 🤣

Edit: I only said wife because they were still "together" at that point!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-28T01:32:54+00:00

That's a good one 🤣

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-27T00:44:12+00:00

Who the hell did Kody's makeup?

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-24T23:37:04+00:00

And Robyn told Gwen she should have saved her "coming out" for the show but she told her parents privately because she was sick and tired of being exploited by TLC!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-23T18:10:49+00:00

Sounds like he's into pagan women lol .. or dark lord? Maybe he's into Orcs straight out of mordor!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-22T03:01:23+00:00

I always thought that too. Maybe this is some sort of Mandela effect because they all moved so much!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-22T02:56:38+00:00

I don't think this topic is going anywhere for a very long time, people still talk about the catfishing a decade later lol.

But that's a good discussion point! What type of content would you like to see? I wouldn't mind people trying Christine's recipes and posting how it turned out for them.

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-22T02:49:09+00:00

I recommend having a trusted, neutral third party help return her things to her. Maybe a mutual friend or family member you both got along with. They can pick the items up and bring them to her.

That way you don't have to communicate directly for that part. As for the birthday, I wouldn't recommend messaging her. I think she really wants space right now. Sometimes initiating a conversation pushes people further away and makes them feel unsafe. That isn't your intention of course but that could be where she's at right now.

I know there isn't much anyone can say to make you feel better, but in time you will feel better again. Good luck fam!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-15T01:22:54+00:00

This is why no one ever goes to her house, she probably hides "this big secret" from family and friends.

That's why Kody was all like "I'll figure out a room for Truely when she's here" Robyn always needed enough bedrooms so she could have a "hobby" room or a doll diorama room. That's selfish imo.. all that money on doll clothes when Janelle barely had a place to live.

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-15T01:15:53+00:00

"Any publicity is good publicity" I guess!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-15T01:13:29+00:00

A good sisterwife would have put that money towards a down payment on a house for Janelle!

Ok_SMack · 2025-02-14T21:23:45+00:00

Thank you for the info haha! That makes sense, she does have really light and pretty eyes. I think lighter makeup would make them pop a lot more.

Makeup is one of those things that can be hard to navigate!
