IIT WAS SAD TO SEE THE BROWNS MOVE INTO THEIR 1/4 MILLION DOLLAR HOMES THEN GO TO THE SALVATION ARMY FOR FREE FOOD BOXES. THOES BOXES ARE FOR THE HOMLESS PEOPLE LIVING IN SHELTERS. NOT FOR A FAMAILY THAT OVEREXTENDS THEN EXPECT CHARITY TO BAIL THEM OUT. THE ADULTS SHOULD SKIP ONEOR TWO MEALS A WEEK ANDD GIVE BACK TO THE SALVATION ARMY. AND ABOVE ALL THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE CHILDREN UNTIL THEY CAN FEED WHAT THEY HAVE NOW.
I do not feel sorry for Meri. She should have never agreed on Kody taking another wife in the first place. If she stood her ground she would probably have gotten the hose she wanted with no problem.
I agree with previous comment. Take your child and run. Or better yet get you brother husbands.

I don't understand why Meri would want anymore kids when her daughter is almost grown. I also don't think that any man should convince his wife to have another child when he isn't dedicated to the ones he already has!! Raising kids is hard, whether it be one child or a whole gang of them! C'mon Meri, you're 41 years old...are you sure that you want another kid or are you going through some midlife crisis?! Do you think it's fair to have a newborn when you're 41? Do you actually have the energy to do that all over again? I am 45 years old, a mom of 3 ages 22,20, and 17, and recently remarried to a wonderful man who doesn't have any kids. I am thrilled I don't have to hire a sitter to go out with my husband and I actually have time to focus on our relationship. The thought of having another baby just would be overwhelming! I also don't think that Kody should pressure Meri into having another child and APPRECIATE her for who she is....not how many babies she can pop out for him and raise by herself. Whatever happened to loving someone for who they are, not what they can do to benefit your selfish wants??? That is not a healthy relationship!!!

I can understand her being scared to want to try for more kids. Im not saying shes to old but shes in her early 40s. It would be like starting all over again. When mariah graduates and moves out it will be 20 more years before she will have the house again by herself. And shame on kody for trying to pressure her into it when he can barely take care of the 17 he has. How much time does he actually spend with one child? Christine has said that shes been raising her kids by herself for 2 years now. And shame on janelle and christine for thinking she doesnt deserve what they have because she doesnt have 6 or 7 kids like they do. If it was the other way around im sure they would want what she wants now. it wasnt her choice to only have one. How would they feel if all they had was one child? They should really think about it before they open there mouths. I feel sorry for meri because we can all see she wants more kids but at the same time does she want them now? When mariah was little maybe but to do it now would be a huge risk i think. She has to think about herself and not everyone else. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE PRESSURING HER INTO DOING ANYTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!! Yeah kody wants another one but how much is he really there for each wife now or for the kids? 4 wifes is to many and so 17 kids. I feel sorry for meri and i hope she does what she wants instead of being pressured into it. I watch the show every sunday and cant wait for more to come.

I have followed the Brown family for a bit and I find it all appalling no matter how great they make it look.
The Mormon religion is a very sexual religion. God is in heaven apparently having sex all day and making spirit babies--that's what the Book of Mormon teaches. The problem is, it's not based on truth as it was written by Joseph Smith who seems to have been a sexual deviant. There is no archeological proof of what Joseph Smith wrote is true. There are a lot of people in the Mormon church who know that this is so, but don't know what to do about it. This is the religion that the Brown family places it's beliefs in--a false religion. It is so sad.
The Christian Bible says that God created one man and one woman. Adultery is wrong in the Bible and I agree with it and so as I watch this family, I grow more and more appalled at what is happening.
I come from a family of ten and it was so hard on each of us and on my parents and yet there are people thinking that they can have huge families and still parent properly. I feel sick when I watch the Brown family. How did their belief system become so distorted?
It's not possible to have physical and emotional intimacy with four other people involved. My late husband and I stood shoulder to shoulder, slept shoulder to shoulder, ate shoulder to shoulder and watched our four children grow as we stood shoulder to shoulder. No one came in between. We had great physical and emotional intimacy and he was always available to me--and only me.
