Sister Wives

For those who have not seen the show it is about a man (Kody) and he is the husband, he has four (yes...4 wives). Meri is the one he married first, then Janelle, then Christine, and then Robyn. They are one big family and each wife had kids with Kody. Robyn had three children from a pervious marriage and last year she and Kody had their first child together; a son.

If you get a chance, check out the show..it is really interesting and I really enjoy it. I had heard about it years ago but was not interested in it and was very confused by that life style, but what do you do when you are confused about something? I don't know about you, but I research things and try to find out as much information as I can about the things I don't understand. Obviously their lifestyle is not the "normal" but really? What is nowadays?

The family now has a total of 18 children and yeah, that is pretty crazy as one would imagine. I cannot even imagine having that many children but it is awesome how well they handle everything. It really is awesome. They are one big family and every child has four moms which would seem a bit odd but it is amazing that they all have so much love for one another.

Obviously there would be jealousy and especially towards the newest wife (Robyn) because she tends to be the favorite or at least in my opinion. She and Kody seem to have a different bond than the rest of the wives and yet there is a strong bond between Meri and Kody as well. Meri is Kody's first wife and I think that is natural to have a strong bond. Meri and Robyn are the closest out of the sisters and tend to have a much stronger and loving bond than Janelle and Christine.

Christine is my favorite, I think. The way she handles things is very much my style and I think I relate the most with her. That is what's so awesome about the show...you get to see one man married to four different women who have different parenting styles and personalities. To me, that much be a crazy life but somehow it just works for them.

Some people have very strong opinions on their family and that it is "wrong" but I find it odd that people are so quick to judge everything. I do not understand why people have to concern themselves with another person's life. If no one is being harmed, who cares? They are happy and I think it is pretty awesome that even with all the stresses, they can all be smart, independent, and all around good people.

While watching the show, I wondered what it would be like if Joshua told me he wanted another wife. Part of me feels as though I would be okay with it because once we have kids, they will have a big family which is something I never had. I love my alone time but I am sure I would be jealous but over time, I think eventually you become close to the sister wives and that could be great support. I don't know, I think that life style is definitely different.
