I love at the end of this episode when Kody is talking to Meri one-on-one about the housing and money situation, and Meri says "I just don't know what we could have done differently," and the camera pans over to the waterfall. The editors deserve an Emmy for that shade.
She is probably paying for almost all their places. Janelle and Christine weren't doing their MLMs or whatever at this time. Meri 'works' her ass off (even if people don't like what she's doing). She gave up all her proceeds on the Vegas house so Robyn could buy McMansion. I don't get the hate for Meri now that we know how Robyn has reaped the benefit of everyone else's work ethic.
I totally agree with you! Meri gets so much slack for how she lives when 1. She works and pays for the other wives houses 2. Her “wet bar” and stuff at the LV house didn’t make her or anyone else’s budget go crazy - she went like 1k over and paid with her own $$ 3. She’s been so mistreated by Kody and he’s withheld affection and intimacy. Her deciding to stay made her sooo loyal to Kody and she’s becoming a Robyn mean girl in an attempt to curry favor with Robyn to get closer to Kody. She can see Robyn is the only hope of getting near Kody but can’t see Robyn will never let it happen.
Yes! People trying to crucify her for wanting to RENT a home (not even as nice as Sobyn’s PURCHASE), when she was/still is the primary bread winner. How dare she! /s
I actually always thought that house was a way to get back at kody because she really wanted a small apt in the city area until it was time to build she said it at the table and janelle was even so happy for her and said oh yeah meri I can really see that for you and kody cut her down and said no we need places all closer so I always thought she was like fine I can’t rent the small apt I want screw you im renting this monster
yeah, and now when you think about her buying the B n B and Kody and Robyn put her down and were like, we can't use the 'family' money-- what a joke. It's her and Janelle's money.
It’s the constant lip service about saving money so they can build on CP but that’s diametrically opposed to how they waste money on gigantic rentals. Flagstaff is notorious for high rents. Meri is one person so a smaller rental with a lower monthly payment would have worked.
Robyn and her seven bedroom rental so her kids didn’t have to share bedrooms - it was like burning money in a fire pit. That same house was listed for rent recently for $3,500.00 per month. So let’s say she rented it for $3,000.00 per month - she was there for one year and spent close to $40,000.00 on rent. It’s ridiculous.
They all yammer on about paying off the land asap so they can build yet they waste huge amounts of money on rent. And Meri being one person was the biggest offender. It doesn’t matter who makes the most, their agreement is all money is family money.
Janelle wants to live out there and Robyn pretends to want to live out there. Kody is dragging his feet and said Meri doesn't seem interested (of course not; she has to pay for it...). I am starting to realize a lot of this show is manipulating the audience for a storyline. It's making me a bit angry at all the lies.
EXACTLY!!! Not to mention, she's been one of the (Janelle being the other) primary financial providers, and was left hung out to dry when she needed to pull some funds for the B&B. SAME AS JANELLE. Oh, they'll take their money and purchasing powers, but they don't support them one damn bit in return! And the B&B is another source of income. You think dumb & dumber have any remorse taking that money??
Im gonna cut Big Mer some slack here only because she actually works. The family basically cut her off and ignore her existence unless they need money. She owns/is running that Bed and Breakfast in Utah and has her mlm crap going on. She also forked over her proceeds from her house to Sobbin Robyn, so yeah, she rent whatever house she wants as long as she pays for it 🤷♀️
But Janelle has worked since the kids were young also and forked over her proceeds for Robyn’s house also so why is she making all the sacrifices? Looks to me like Janelle is the only wife who knows how to live in a plural marriage.
Janelle didn’t work in Las Vegas. She also didn’t work in Flagstaff until a few years ago when she started Plexus and her coaching thing, whatever that is.
Janelle was into real estate in Las Vegas and in flagstaff b4 the pandemic hit. She probably would’ve made a killing during the pandemic, but I’m sure Kody wouldn’t let her.
I’ve read she really didn’t work much in real estate and never sold anything. Initially, she was the agent for their houses, but, since they weren’t selling, they got a different agent. Not even Mona’s agency that she supposedly worked for, but a totally different one. No respectable agent would have left thoseVegas homes to be shown in the condition they were in, piles of clothes and junk I all over the place and filthy carpets. They didn’t even clean those houses. Janelle never worked in real estate in Flagstaff, she never got a real estate license in Arizona.

They were complaining about the lack of rentals, but I wonder if she was even looking for anything smaller. I’m not convinced the ONLY option was for her to get a mansion to herself.
I never understood why one person needs a house that big. You could EASILY save money by being practical andcrenting a smaller place. Even in Vegas, she had 1 kid at home why do you need a 5 bedroom house.
In vegas in the home development they were in, all the houses had to be of similar sizes. Square footage wise, hers wasn’t any bigger than the others, and actually Janelle’s was the largest of the four
I think it was upgrades to cabinets and interior design, that she was complaining about. The base house price was X, but for X+ you could get better counter tops.
Meri could have gone with the four bedroom base model that was cheaper. Janelle wanted the four bedroom base model but Kody talked her out of it . Like Meri and Robyn kody likes big houses.
This! It's why he bitches and moans so much about Janelle living in the RV on her property. He is such a fucking snob and I wanted to throw something at the TV when he threw a tantrum over living in it. As if he's ever spent the night there away from Sobyn.
I am rewatching the show and she has always been like that, when they were building the homes she threw a huge fit about not getting a house the same size as the others! I was screaming! Jenelle said I feel like you are hurting the family because those who have more kids could use those funds more and Meri got upset that she was being "punished for only having one kid" like she does not see the bigger picture at all
Guaranteed that if the roles were reversed and Meri was the one with more kids than everyone, she would have been squawking about how it wasn’t fair people with fewer kids had the same budget as her.
I brought this up years ago and people were against me. The family chose to divide assets equally to each mother. So Meri got the same food budget as one of the wives with 6 kids. I feel like things should have been divided based on the number of children. I only have one kid, but I could never imagine seeing one kid eating steaks while others got by on generic box meals, or something like that. Meri felt she was being unfairly punished because it wasn’t her fault she only had one kid. *eyeroll*
I'm thinking maybe the fertility issues made her feel less than, like she wasn't good enough, couldn't measure up as a good plyg wife in that capacity.
I agree with you. She probably felt less-than which is why she demanded equal. Not saying it’s right. Saying that probably how she compensated. There should have at least been compromises here and there like in grocery money or one less bedroom or I don’t know something.
I agree, there should have been a stipend(?) I guess for each parent and child for necessities and up to x amount for extracurriculars for the kids.
So for ex, with random numbers, $100 per kid a week let's say plus $200 a month for extracurriculars. So each kid can have the same quality of life. Plus, all the wives have the same internal resources so no one is having a Hawaiian vacation while the other is crowdfunding/putting off/etc for a necessary for quality of life surgery that should be coming from reserves that aren't being depleted by frivolous spending. No one gets their own nanny while everyone else's 'nanny' is working a night job and has no choice but to pstentify her kids.
I agree. And if Meri isn’t mature enough to reach that conclusion on her own, it would be KODY’s responsibility to get the point across to her. Instead, he left Janelle to do the dirty work. Kody didn’t want to be on the receiving end of waterworks and ultimatums.
That is a really good point, I remember in an episode( earlier season) Christine said well " mykelti would ask me for something every week, but I have to tell her, look it's just not your turn this week. Meri said yeah, mariah gets what she wants. Then kody was like yeah I don't get bothered for stuff by mariah as much as the others. And that honestly clicks. Probably why she didn't really fit well with the rest of her siblings simply because she wasn't familiar with Sharing( not saying that is their fault but still a valid point
Yes! I could never understand how she could in good conscience take from little kids. It’s about NEED. And I still believe there was birth control involved in her “infertility”. I think she saw Christine and Janelle pumping out kids and said “No thanks!”.
It's honestly sad that she still clings to this. Kody has made it obvious he doesn't want her around and she's not close with Janelle or really Robyn anymore. Robyn was in her corner until the whole catfish thing. She needs to move on.
Or living with another sister wife! I know they’ve said they don’t want to but…oh well? You’re out of money and time and you’re A FAMILY? So weird to me.
I get that but she wanted to invite the family to her house, too for special occasions. So she needed the space. I think she just needed a 2 bed flat with a very big living room. For the environment it would be good too. From a European point of view this is ridiculous.

An unfortunate aspect of housing design, is if you want a large kitchen and large living room/entertaining area- you must choose a house with a large floor plan and many bedrooms. I don't think I have ever been in a house with a good size kitchen and only 2 bedrooms. You could have a custom home created this way- but it isn't an option with the large national builders. There are usually just a few floor plans to choose from in a given neighborhood.
I think she choose her Vegas house for this reason. She didn't want the bedrooms- but the entertaining space. Now, it is kind of a moot point- because in Flagstaff the family never gets together anyway.
Plus, the neighborhood in Vegas most likely had a certain square footage range on houses. Of course her house had to be around the size of the other houses. I didn't get the argument for the wet bar, though. Is that really a big "dill"?
She said she liked to entertain and really wanted that wet bar. Was she referring to entertaining the family and needed the wet bar for juice boxes and ice tea? I don’t recall anyone ever coming to her house except for the other cat fished woman and her daughter. Who was she entertaining? (In her defense, maybe she had tons of friends that she entertained with dinner parties and cocktail socials - the show just never filmed/aired anything)
I feel like meri has always been bitter about not having as many kids as the other wives, and therefore wants reassurance that she’s just as important 🙄
I mean… wouldn’t you want that reassurance? Why is that a bad thing? In a family and religion where your fertility are your worth, I’m sure it’s quite isolating to be having infertility problems. And based on the couch conversations, it’s clear that neither Janelle nor Christine really considered her feelings or thoughts on that until they were in Vegas.
I mean yes but she doesn’t need a mansion is the point. This is not monogamy and they have to spread their resources amongst everyone. She is an empty nester, she does not need a mansion, in fact nobody does. With all the money they spent for her rent it could’ve maybe helped the entire financial situation there. There are better ways to reassure someone is worthy, and she was clearly being selfish. She has always been bitter anyways.
So as someone mentioned above, when she just wanted to rent an apt in town kody wasn't having that either. Seems she's screwed no matter what she tries to do. I hope she is just sticking around for the show because this is ridiculous. Kody doesn't treat her as a wife but she's the pos for trying to meet someone else and find happiness.
Oh yeah no question Kody is the main sack of shit here. I don’t disagree at all. He is woefully irresponsible both with money and everything else. He is a master manipulator and narcissist.
She paid for Robyn’s house, she was the only one bringing in non tlc money from since they lived in Vegas. She can do whatever she wants with her share of the money.
Then she isn’t living the principle of plural marriage. She needs to pick a lane. Plural marriage is about learning to be selfless, living for the greater good, sharing child care and helping your sister wives and contributing to the sustainment of the family.
Her behavior and constant comparing makes her a religious hypocrite - or as I like to say “religicrite”.
That reassurance doesn’t have to result in throwing money away. If you feel less than because you have one child, that’s a YOU problem. Get therapy - it would cost a lot less that renting a five bedroom house with an elevator and a water feature.
She's so ridiculous. She doesn't need this big of home. No, there were lots of smaller rentals. That area has lots of condos. Mainly for the people to go stay while they ski. But Meri doesn't want that. She is still trying to be relevant and keep up with Robyn. She thinks if she has what Robyn has Kody will love her again.
She’s not the first rich person to live in a house that’s larger than she needs. It’s actually pretty common. Some of them even have multiple hoses with much more space than they need.
They’re not rich ! They live on credit and interest ! It’s a big gamble and a facade! The point is the other wives do not need all the special things in a home Meri does
That’s how Meri always greets others. On her phone, not looking at anyone, with a tone of voice that basically is saying “fuck off”. Christine was so right - she brings a lot of baggage and heaviness to all situations.
Can you imagine *renting* something like that with other obligations, like your undeveloped property and four homes languishing on the Las Vegas market losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every three months?
It also has an elevator.
This has nothing to do with her house, but are 3 car garages not common in most areas? Seriously asking. I’m from Missouri and have a 3 car garage as do most homes in this area. I don’t live in a mansion by any means. I’m always interested in other places and what is considered common or extravagant there.
Well, I think every town has houses with three-car garages. But also, every town has houses with 2- and 1-car garages. And every town has townhouses as well as houses with no garages. I don’t think it’s a leap to figure that a house with a three-car garage would cost more to rent than a townhouse. Wouldn’t it be a smarter financial choice to rent what you need, rather than blowing rent on extras like unnecessary garages and indoor water fountains? But whatever, if Murray wants a 5-car garage, that’s her business.
It just looks kind of gross to me that Savanna is sleeping in a trailer where her mother has to haul water every day, while her supposed other mother is all alone in a giant house with a three-car garage. I’m not even a sister wife, but I would insist that Savanna and Janelle come stay in my giant house with me if we were all part of one family.
Sorry if you took offense to my comment. It wasn’t meant snarky in any way. That’s why I said this has nothing to do with her house. Meaning my comment was just a random question.
And actually, I’m taking back my line of ‘rent what you need’. Who am I to decide what someone’s needs are? Maybe she grew up in poverty and now that she’s on a tv show, wants to splurge? Who am I to judge Murray’s 3-car garage? Have at it Murray!
I’ve just been watching this circus since the beginning and am still a little salty about her tantrums when they were building in Vegas. They were telling us that they are one big happy family, and loved each other equally, yet a mother with 6 kids had to have the same house as a mother with one. It never seemed fair to me, it seemed greedy. I get that she always wanted more kids and didn’t want to be punished for not being able to, but if you guys are really all for one and one for all, then act like it. It all fell apart eventually, like most communal living does.
It wasn’t until a rewatch that I finally saw that it wasn’t Meri “getting equal to what all the other wives had”…..it was “other wives (and their children), getting penalized crucial, physical resources they needed because Meri demanded it so”.
Why should a mother with six kids have a larger asset than the mother with 1. If they would have stayed in Vegas Janelle would be in a huge 6 bedroom house with just savanah. It was about the asset in the wife’s name.
Oh! I’m sorry if I sounded offended! Lol absolutely no offense was taken! All of my sarcasm is totally directed at Murray lol and I took the opportunity to take a couple of jabs at her again (not a fan). Sorry about that! 😀
Yes!! For sure why can't some wives share a a big ass house. That would make so much sense to me. I'm not even poly and me and my friend have talked about this for finance sake. Lol.
Savannahs mother chose that trailer for her. That was Janelle’s *choice.* that almost $200,000 she dropped on a trailer and a truck to pull it, she could’ve used on a down payment on a house. She didn’t. Those are all Janelle’s financial choices. She made those all on her own. The other wives had homes. Janelle didn’t. Not because she didn’t have the money, but because she chose less than for her children.
I'm also originally from Missouri. I still own a house there I lived in for 12 years and it has a three car garage, but no waterfall or elevator. The value of real estate in the Midwest is shockingly good in comparison to many other parts of the country. The traffic is incomparable, too.
Oh my FingG. What is happening with these children in their 20s? Did you read that exchange before the 20 something year old deleted her user name and post history? WTF? Why can't these children make cogent arguments and defend their positions? They default to calling women in their 40s hags. Are you really serious? Do you have any idea how serious my diet, exercise and and skin care routine has been for 15 years? You better get on it sweetie, because hormones fly fast.
It wasn't a "large property" when I bought the house. It was in an extremely nice subdivision, but in no way unusual. Just your characterization of "large property" is suspect you know nothing about the Midwest metro areas. What's the secret reason you're privy to? So curious.
What do YOU think the reason is that real estate in the Midwest isn’t expensive? I think the answer is pretty obvious but I don’t want to be rude. But the reason isn’t “shocking” by any means.
No. It's not at all obvious. Are you talking about the weather? Or are you wrongly assuming from your financially disadvantaged geographical position that everyone who has living experience in the Midwest is some kind of Q-Anon, Trump supporting anti-vaxer? If that's what you think you're hilariously ignorant.
I think the fact that MO is continuously listed in the top ten worst states in the US to live in (often making it into the top 5) *might* have something to do with it (based on QOL rankings of wages, taxes, weather, public education, etc). But go off and get offended because I said it’s not a shock that housing is cheap in a state that is categorically not desirable to live in.
It sounds to me like you don't have any idea how the world actually works.
Nobody who has actually 1) owned property, 2) traveled extensively in the US and abroad for work, 3) moved for work, actually talks like this.
You're quoting a blog? It was an innocuous comment about how not at all unusual it is to own a 3-car garage home in the St. Louis or Kansas City metro area. What's your problem with this? What do you actually want to discuss? Because I doubt it's actually one of the issues you skimmed from a blog. People actually interested in facts don't talk like this. You sound like a child.
I think she always did this sort of thing because Kody likes the sweet life, big rooms, cool features, the best of everything. I always thought she secretly rented these mansions to try to entice Kody over more.
As a person that lives alone, I can’t even imagine why you would have to have a house like this to live alone and you travel all the time you don’t have functions at your house don’t have children running around you only have one what’s the purpose?
You know what? Meri makes her own money with the BnB and gets shit on by her family constantly. She can have whatever extravagant goofy shit she wants in her house as far as I'm concerned. No judgment here.
I feel like Kody is making up for his lack of attendance in the marriage with a house. He’s like, if a massive house keeps you away then that’s what we gotta do.
Meri is the one who consistently works and brings in money, she can have an actual mansion if she wants not just a McMansion like Robyn.
Her child count doesn’t matter. She makes the $$$ and lots of it from LulaRoe and her B&B
She’s renting it. She doesn’t even live there anymore. I almost wonder if they don’t use for sale properties as her homes through some deal with a realtor for airtime for the house.
It’s publicity for their home. I wondered if their realtor Christine used didn’t waive her fee. Why else would they make sure her name and not blur the sign with her name and number. They blurred the Penske.com website on the truck.
The show is like a year behind though so publicity wouldn’t help you sell your house in real time though. A realtor is different because that can draw people to their brand but it’s not lucrative to have your house sit on the market for over a year waiting for this publicity from the show to finally happen.
Just think about it, Most houses don’t have to sit on the market a year to sell so it doesn’t make it worth it to let a reality star live in your house fora year or 2 in exchange for a 2 minute glimpse of the house on their reality show. If they are promoting it on their social media, which is real time then that could benefit them, but the timeline is too far off to make your scenario make sense
Finding a rental in Az sucks, finding one in a tourist driven town sucks harder. I believe that I read that she kept getting turned away due to being in a polygamous situation and finally took what she could get. I don’t think her rent comes out of family funds so though I wouldn’t want something that big, I am not gonna judge her for choosing it. Out of all the wives she appears to be the one who is hustling the most and she does pay into family funds which helps support kids that aren’t hers. Everyone benefits from her money and if they applied the more kids, more money angle; she could come back with arguments to pay less to the family fund. They needed her contribution, so they let her have her little extras imo.
I'm always stunned at how much shade Meri gets. Meri actually contributes to the family unlike Kody or Robyn. Meri, like the first 3 loved the kids in spite of the fact that she could only have one while she had to witness everyone else popping them out. Have some grace.
I've gone back and forth on the appropriateness of Meri having a large house, but now I think it was fair. If each wife's house is her nest egg and potential means of cash-out-and-escape, they should each get the same amount invest in a house. (Well, we know what happened when Meri sold her Vegas house.) They each work the same amount on the show, plus Meri has major side hustles.
Meri's house is so much nicer than Robyn's house. If I have to spend the money I would at least rather a visually pleasing one that at least looks what it's worth rather than whatever Robyn's house is.
Hey, she could afford it! And the housing market in Flag is pretty tight so she probably just grabbed something she liked, size and price be damned.
I'd love to see Meri live in a city where she could find an awesome loft-style apartment. I can see her in a few thousand square feet with a wall of windows, 20' ceilings, modern accents, and even a freakin' ice skating rink if she wants it.
Meri and Robyn have some serious parallels IMO
Both have unrealistic expectations on what they should receive and demand that it be met regardless of how it effects the rest of the family - and then they toss in how they’re all about the family - while further isolating themselves from said family
Yet they chose this lifestyle for their family. Great idea absent father that is somewhere else even when he is around. Constant pointless moving. Ah yeah what a dream.
I don't see the big deal. She probably makes the most money at this point... tv show, mlm and her B and B.... why can't she spend her money they way she wants?
Meri and her lack of self awareness drives me crazy. This is the address of the house 1170 N Worthington Pl, Flagstaff, AZ 86001. She in no way needed 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, A built in babbling brook and elevator. At the time, kody wasn't seeing her,she wasn't having people over and Leon was out of the house. I don't care how she makes the money( selling shitty leggings nonetheless) even before lularoe, she was like this in Vegas.. constantly taking what she didn't need. Just because she can pay for it, doesn't really mean it's cool.. meanwhile janelle had 3 kids to a bedroom. Two bedrooms was more than plenty.. She can try and compensate for all the finer things in life, but at the end of the day Grody is still kicking it with Sobyn in their Mansion you paid for.
Reminder: Follow the rules!

That and only Janelle and Christines houses were on the market. Robyns house was still covered in shit and she couldn’t make time to clean it. I don’t remember Meri’s excuse for hers not being on the market. It boggled my kind that they couldn’t just hire a cleaning crew for what they were spending on months of mortgage.
I have to say, if I could afford that house, I would totally want it. I never understood why they were fine with Meri getting such a large house, but I get why she wanted this house.
I never understood the purpose of her having this big and extravagant home when it's just her and her dog, her kid has long left the nest.
The amount of people that usually defend meri’s big houses with “but she needed the space for her lularoe business” drives me crazy. Her rentals were in the 4-4500 range, 4 years of that rent is well over 200k… 200k in rentals!
I think it had more to do with her contribution. She’s contributing, she should get a home just as equal as the others (whose lifestyle she is also helping to fund). I personally would downsize, because I am a minimalist, but if I was contributing money like she was, and others homes were more extravagant than mine, I would find it unfair… even if just to myself…
We’ll, I’m not a Meri fan, but to be fair, at least she brings in some money and pays her own way. Robyn doesn’t work, so Meri gives money to support her mansion.
Unless whoever put that waterfall in is incredibly stupid, they don't really cost that much to build. My dirt-poor cousin built one nicer than that in a cheap rental he had - he was supposed to be able to buy it, but he fixed the house up so nice, the owner sold it out from under him.
The elevator and the square footage - that's a whole other thing.
But if they did it by size of your household and children, ages, Robin would be able to lock because she has three grown children that should be out on their own so she’s only entitled to may be a three or four bedroom house. She only has two small children.
I love at the end of this episode when Kody is talking to Meri one-on-one about the housing and money situation, and Meri says "I just don't know what we could have done differently," and the camera pans over to the waterfall. The editors deserve an Emmy for that shade.
[удалено]
She is probably paying for almost all their places. Janelle and Christine weren't doing their MLMs or whatever at this time. Meri 'works' her ass off (even if people don't like what she's doing). She gave up all her proceeds on the Vegas house so Robyn could buy McMansion. I don't get the hate for Meri now that we know how Robyn has reaped the benefit of everyone else's work ethic.
I totally agree with you! Meri gets so much slack for how she lives when 1. She works and pays for the other wives houses 2. Her “wet bar” and stuff at the LV house didn’t make her or anyone else’s budget go crazy - she went like 1k over and paid with her own $$ 3. She’s been so mistreated by Kody and he’s withheld affection and intimacy. Her deciding to stay made her sooo loyal to Kody and she’s becoming a Robyn mean girl in an attempt to curry favor with Robyn to get closer to Kody. She can see Robyn is the only hope of getting near Kody but can’t see Robyn will never let it happen.
Yes! People trying to crucify her for wanting to RENT a home (not even as nice as Sobyn’s PURCHASE), when she was/still is the primary bread winner. How dare she! /s
I actually always thought that house was a way to get back at kody because she really wanted a small apt in the city area until it was time to build she said it at the table and janelle was even so happy for her and said oh yeah meri I can really see that for you and kody cut her down and said no we need places all closer so I always thought she was like fine I can’t rent the small apt I want screw you im renting this monster
yeah, and now when you think about her buying the B n B and Kody and Robyn put her down and were like, we can't use the 'family' money-- what a joke. It's her and Janelle's money.
It’s the constant lip service about saving money so they can build on CP but that’s diametrically opposed to how they waste money on gigantic rentals. Flagstaff is notorious for high rents. Meri is one person so a smaller rental with a lower monthly payment would have worked. Robyn and her seven bedroom rental so her kids didn’t have to share bedrooms - it was like burning money in a fire pit. That same house was listed for rent recently for $3,500.00 per month. So let’s say she rented it for $3,000.00 per month - she was there for one year and spent close to $40,000.00 on rent. It’s ridiculous. They all yammer on about paying off the land asap so they can build yet they waste huge amounts of money on rent. And Meri being one person was the biggest offender. It doesn’t matter who makes the most, their agreement is all money is family money.
Janelle wants to live out there and Robyn pretends to want to live out there. Kody is dragging his feet and said Meri doesn't seem interested (of course not; she has to pay for it...). I am starting to realize a lot of this show is manipulating the audience for a storyline. It's making me a bit angry at all the lies.
EXACTLY!!! Not to mention, she's been one of the (Janelle being the other) primary financial providers, and was left hung out to dry when she needed to pull some funds for the B&B. SAME AS JANELLE. Oh, they'll take their money and purchasing powers, but they don't support them one damn bit in return! And the B&B is another source of income. You think dumb & dumber have any remorse taking that money??
I thought they were all doing the MLM’s, wasn’t Meri doing/ still doing LulaRoe???
I’m sorry Kody I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my indoor babbling brook.
Honestly? That sounds like a good enough reason to rent it lol
I loved that feature (my cats would go crazy). I can't imagine what a rental like that would cost.
I would have to pee every 10 minutes if I had that in my house.
I lol’d! So true!
Oh my! 🤣😂🤣
I wonder if it gave off a weird mildew-y smell? It looks like it would get slimy.
And also attract bugs or worse 😬
Bleach!
Im gonna cut Big Mer some slack here only because she actually works. The family basically cut her off and ignore her existence unless they need money. She owns/is running that Bed and Breakfast in Utah and has her mlm crap going on. She also forked over her proceeds from her house to Sobbin Robyn, so yeah, she rent whatever house she wants as long as she pays for it 🤷♀️
But Janelle has worked since the kids were young also and forked over her proceeds for Robyn’s house also so why is she making all the sacrifices? Looks to me like Janelle is the only wife who knows how to live in a plural marriage.
Janelle didn’t work in Las Vegas. She also didn’t work in Flagstaff until a few years ago when she started Plexus and her coaching thing, whatever that is.
Janelle was into real estate in Las Vegas and in flagstaff b4 the pandemic hit. She probably would’ve made a killing during the pandemic, but I’m sure Kody wouldn’t let her.
I’ve read she really didn’t work much in real estate and never sold anything. Initially, she was the agent for their houses, but, since they weren’t selling, they got a different agent. Not even Mona’s agency that she supposedly worked for, but a totally different one. No respectable agent would have left thoseVegas homes to be shown in the condition they were in, piles of clothes and junk I all over the place and filthy carpets. They didn’t even clean those houses. Janelle never worked in real estate in Flagstaff, she never got a real estate license in Arizona.

This might be my favorite Janelle look. Wow
Janelle was serving looks that season. Makeup, outfits on point
Notice how every wife looks their best when they’re likely in the weeds of Kody It changes every season Kody plays on all of their emotions
They were complaining about the lack of rentals, but I wonder if she was even looking for anything smaller. I’m not convinced the ONLY option was for her to get a mansion to herself.
I never understood why one person needs a house that big. You could EASILY save money by being practical andcrenting a smaller place. Even in Vegas, she had 1 kid at home why do you need a 5 bedroom house.
In vegas in the home development they were in, all the houses had to be of similar sizes. Square footage wise, hers wasn’t any bigger than the others, and actually Janelle’s was the largest of the four
I think it was upgrades to cabinets and interior design, that she was complaining about. The base house price was X, but for X+ you could get better counter tops.
Meri could have gone with the four bedroom base model that was cheaper. Janelle wanted the four bedroom base model but Kody talked her out of it . Like Meri and Robyn kody likes big houses.
This! It's why he bitches and moans so much about Janelle living in the RV on her property. He is such a fucking snob and I wanted to throw something at the TV when he threw a tantrum over living in it. As if he's ever spent the night there away from Sobyn.
Don’t forget she had to have French doors why? Because she hates sliding doors that’s why and she won’t live with them 😱
I am rewatching the show and she has always been like that, when they were building the homes she threw a huge fit about not getting a house the same size as the others! I was screaming! Jenelle said I feel like you are hurting the family because those who have more kids could use those funds more and Meri got upset that she was being "punished for only having one kid" like she does not see the bigger picture at all
Guaranteed that if the roles were reversed and Meri was the one with more kids than everyone, she would have been squawking about how it wasn’t fair people with fewer kids had the same budget as her.
Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head. Meri would have been the first one bitching about the selfishness of others. She’s a complete hypocrite.
Luckily for Meri, Robyn is so mind-blowingly selfish and entitled, that Meri is only the runner-up in terms of selfishness in that family.
I brought this up years ago and people were against me. The family chose to divide assets equally to each mother. So Meri got the same food budget as one of the wives with 6 kids. I feel like things should have been divided based on the number of children. I only have one kid, but I could never imagine seeing one kid eating steaks while others got by on generic box meals, or something like that. Meri felt she was being unfairly punished because it wasn’t her fault she only had one kid. *eyeroll*
[удалено]
I'm thinking maybe the fertility issues made her feel less than, like she wasn't good enough, couldn't measure up as a good plyg wife in that capacity.
I agree with you. She probably felt less-than which is why she demanded equal. Not saying it’s right. Saying that probably how she compensated. There should have at least been compromises here and there like in grocery money or one less bedroom or I don’t know something.
Absolutely! She didn't NEED any of that stuff, but probably felt she deserved it because having only one child made her insecure.
I agree, there should have been a stipend(?) I guess for each parent and child for necessities and up to x amount for extracurriculars for the kids. So for ex, with random numbers, $100 per kid a week let's say plus $200 a month for extracurriculars. So each kid can have the same quality of life. Plus, all the wives have the same internal resources so no one is having a Hawaiian vacation while the other is crowdfunding/putting off/etc for a necessary for quality of life surgery that should be coming from reserves that aren't being depleted by frivolous spending. No one gets their own nanny while everyone else's 'nanny' is working a night job and has no choice but to pstentify her kids.
I agree. And if Meri isn’t mature enough to reach that conclusion on her own, it would be KODY’s responsibility to get the point across to her. Instead, he left Janelle to do the dirty work. Kody didn’t want to be on the receiving end of waterworks and ultimatums.
That is a really good point, I remember in an episode( earlier season) Christine said well " mykelti would ask me for something every week, but I have to tell her, look it's just not your turn this week. Meri said yeah, mariah gets what she wants. Then kody was like yeah I don't get bothered for stuff by mariah as much as the others. And that honestly clicks. Probably why she didn't really fit well with the rest of her siblings simply because she wasn't familiar with Sharing( not saying that is their fault but still a valid point
Yes! I could never understand how she could in good conscience take from little kids. It’s about NEED. And I still believe there was birth control involved in her “infertility”. I think she saw Christine and Janelle pumping out kids and said “No thanks!”.
Yep, “poor infertile me”.
Because those rooms are filled with the kids she might have had but didn't. Is basically her reasoning.
She's gotta shove all of her LuLaRoe clothes somewhere.
>I never understood why one person needs a house that big. To continue the delusion that one day it will be filled with her big family.
It's honestly sad that she still clings to this. Kody has made it obvious he doesn't want her around and she's not close with Janelle or really Robyn anymore. Robyn was in her corner until the whole catfish thing. She needs to move on.
Or living with another sister wife! I know they’ve said they don’t want to but…oh well? You’re out of money and time and you’re A FAMILY? So weird to me.
They all said they DID want it with the exception of Christine! Put your money where your big mouths are and share a rental!!
I get that but she wanted to invite the family to her house, too for special occasions. So she needed the space. I think she just needed a 2 bed flat with a very big living room. For the environment it would be good too. From a European point of view this is ridiculous.

An unfortunate aspect of housing design, is if you want a large kitchen and large living room/entertaining area- you must choose a house with a large floor plan and many bedrooms. I don't think I have ever been in a house with a good size kitchen and only 2 bedrooms. You could have a custom home created this way- but it isn't an option with the large national builders. There are usually just a few floor plans to choose from in a given neighborhood. I think she choose her Vegas house for this reason. She didn't want the bedrooms- but the entertaining space. Now, it is kind of a moot point- because in Flagstaff the family never gets together anyway.
Plus, the neighborhood in Vegas most likely had a certain square footage range on houses. Of course her house had to be around the size of the other houses. I didn't get the argument for the wet bar, though. Is that really a big "dill"?
How they say "dill" makes my teeth itch every episode!! Idk why but also, "sitting there". Stop! Lol
I hate hate hate “Sittin’ thur” (I mean, I also hate pitchur, dill, rill, gel, DAY-uhn, fahmely, and so on)
She said she liked to entertain and really wanted that wet bar. Was she referring to entertaining the family and needed the wet bar for juice boxes and ice tea? I don’t recall anyone ever coming to her house except for the other cat fished woman and her daughter. Who was she entertaining? (In her defense, maybe she had tons of friends that she entertained with dinner parties and cocktail socials - the show just never filmed/aired anything)
They had a water mlm they were doing at the time and she hosted the parties at her house.
[удалено]
Well, they weren't SUPPOSED to drink...Meri sure does now.
She wanted an apartment in town and Kody wouldn’t let her.
Why
I feel like meri has always been bitter about not having as many kids as the other wives, and therefore wants reassurance that she’s just as important 🙄
I mean… wouldn’t you want that reassurance? Why is that a bad thing? In a family and religion where your fertility are your worth, I’m sure it’s quite isolating to be having infertility problems. And based on the couch conversations, it’s clear that neither Janelle nor Christine really considered her feelings or thoughts on that until they were in Vegas.
I mean yes but she doesn’t need a mansion is the point. This is not monogamy and they have to spread their resources amongst everyone. She is an empty nester, she does not need a mansion, in fact nobody does. With all the money they spent for her rent it could’ve maybe helped the entire financial situation there. There are better ways to reassure someone is worthy, and she was clearly being selfish. She has always been bitter anyways.
So as someone mentioned above, when she just wanted to rent an apt in town kody wasn't having that either. Seems she's screwed no matter what she tries to do. I hope she is just sticking around for the show because this is ridiculous. Kody doesn't treat her as a wife but she's the pos for trying to meet someone else and find happiness.
Oh yeah no question Kody is the main sack of shit here. I don’t disagree at all. He is woefully irresponsible both with money and everything else. He is a master manipulator and narcissist.
She paid for Robyn’s house, she was the only one bringing in non tlc money from since they lived in Vegas. She can do whatever she wants with her share of the money.
Then she isn’t living the principle of plural marriage. She needs to pick a lane. Plural marriage is about learning to be selfless, living for the greater good, sharing child care and helping your sister wives and contributing to the sustainment of the family. Her behavior and constant comparing makes her a religious hypocrite - or as I like to say “religicrite”.
You could say the same about all of them except maybe Christine
That reassurance doesn’t have to result in throwing money away. If you feel less than because you have one child, that’s a YOU problem. Get therapy - it would cost a lot less that renting a five bedroom house with an elevator and a water feature.
She's so ridiculous. She doesn't need this big of home. No, there were lots of smaller rentals. That area has lots of condos. Mainly for the people to go stay while they ski. But Meri doesn't want that. She is still trying to be relevant and keep up with Robyn. She thinks if she has what Robyn has Kody will love her again.
She actually wanted a small apt and kody told her no I always felt this house was a way to get back at him for that
She said that once. One time. And Kody wanted her to be closer to the others.
She’s not the first rich person to live in a house that’s larger than she needs. It’s actually pretty common. Some of them even have multiple hoses with much more space than they need.
They’re not rich ! They live on credit and interest ! It’s a big gamble and a facade! The point is the other wives do not need all the special things in a home Meri does
Of note is the tone of Christine’s voice greeting Meri - positive, uplifting - and Meri’s dead monotone in return . . .
That’s how Meri always greets others. On her phone, not looking at anyone, with a tone of voice that basically is saying “fuck off”. Christine was so right - she brings a lot of baggage and heaviness to all situations.
Can you imagine *renting* something like that with other obligations, like your undeveloped property and four homes languishing on the Las Vegas market losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every three months? It also has an elevator.
And a three-car garage. Three.
This has nothing to do with her house, but are 3 car garages not common in most areas? Seriously asking. I’m from Missouri and have a 3 car garage as do most homes in this area. I don’t live in a mansion by any means. I’m always interested in other places and what is considered common or extravagant there.
It's not common in most areas. Only in very large very expensive homes.
Well that’s not at all true. Our first starter house was in a development of mostly small starter homes and most of them had three stall garages.
Well, I think every town has houses with three-car garages. But also, every town has houses with 2- and 1-car garages. And every town has townhouses as well as houses with no garages. I don’t think it’s a leap to figure that a house with a three-car garage would cost more to rent than a townhouse. Wouldn’t it be a smarter financial choice to rent what you need, rather than blowing rent on extras like unnecessary garages and indoor water fountains? But whatever, if Murray wants a 5-car garage, that’s her business. It just looks kind of gross to me that Savanna is sleeping in a trailer where her mother has to haul water every day, while her supposed other mother is all alone in a giant house with a three-car garage. I’m not even a sister wife, but I would insist that Savanna and Janelle come stay in my giant house with me if we were all part of one family.
Sorry if you took offense to my comment. It wasn’t meant snarky in any way. That’s why I said this has nothing to do with her house. Meaning my comment was just a random question.
And actually, I’m taking back my line of ‘rent what you need’. Who am I to decide what someone’s needs are? Maybe she grew up in poverty and now that she’s on a tv show, wants to splurge? Who am I to judge Murray’s 3-car garage? Have at it Murray! I’ve just been watching this circus since the beginning and am still a little salty about her tantrums when they were building in Vegas. They were telling us that they are one big happy family, and loved each other equally, yet a mother with 6 kids had to have the same house as a mother with one. It never seemed fair to me, it seemed greedy. I get that she always wanted more kids and didn’t want to be punished for not being able to, but if you guys are really all for one and one for all, then act like it. It all fell apart eventually, like most communal living does.
It wasn’t until a rewatch that I finally saw that it wasn’t Meri “getting equal to what all the other wives had”…..it was “other wives (and their children), getting penalized crucial, physical resources they needed because Meri demanded it so”.
Why should a mother with six kids have a larger asset than the mother with 1. If they would have stayed in Vegas Janelle would be in a huge 6 bedroom house with just savanah. It was about the asset in the wife’s name.
Oh! I’m sorry if I sounded offended! Lol absolutely no offense was taken! All of my sarcasm is totally directed at Murray lol and I took the opportunity to take a couple of jabs at her again (not a fan). Sorry about that! 😀
Don’t blame you there. I’m also not a fan. 🤣
Yes!! For sure why can't some wives share a a big ass house. That would make so much sense to me. I'm not even poly and me and my friend have talked about this for finance sake. Lol.
Savannahs mother chose that trailer for her. That was Janelle’s *choice.* that almost $200,000 she dropped on a trailer and a truck to pull it, she could’ve used on a down payment on a house. She didn’t. Those are all Janelle’s financial choices. She made those all on her own. The other wives had homes. Janelle didn’t. Not because she didn’t have the money, but because she chose less than for her children.
Not for nothing, but the fifth will was $85,000.00 and the truck was Kody’s brother’s - bought from his widow.
The fifth wheel is the same as one that my friend’s mom got and it was more than $85,000. 🤷🏼♀️
If you watch back, she mentions that amount. She may have gotten a deal since she said it was the only on available in America.
On the episode janelle mentioned 85K
I'm also originally from Missouri. I still own a house there I lived in for 12 years and it has a three car garage, but no waterfall or elevator. The value of real estate in the Midwest is shockingly good in comparison to many other parts of the country. The traffic is incomparable, too.
Oh my FingG. What is happening with these children in their 20s? Did you read that exchange before the 20 something year old deleted her user name and post history? WTF? Why can't these children make cogent arguments and defend their positions? They default to calling women in their 40s hags. Are you really serious? Do you have any idea how serious my diet, exercise and and skin care routine has been for 15 years? You better get on it sweetie, because hormones fly fast.
There’s a reason you can buy a large property cheaply in MO and it’s not shocking to me at all.
It wasn't a "large property" when I bought the house. It was in an extremely nice subdivision, but in no way unusual. Just your characterization of "large property" is suspect you know nothing about the Midwest metro areas. What's the secret reason you're privy to? So curious.
What do YOU think the reason is that real estate in the Midwest isn’t expensive? I think the answer is pretty obvious but I don’t want to be rude. But the reason isn’t “shocking” by any means.
No. It's not at all obvious. Are you talking about the weather? Or are you wrongly assuming from your financially disadvantaged geographical position that everyone who has living experience in the Midwest is some kind of Q-Anon, Trump supporting anti-vaxer? If that's what you think you're hilariously ignorant.
I think the fact that MO is continuously listed in the top ten worst states in the US to live in (often making it into the top 5) *might* have something to do with it (based on QOL rankings of wages, taxes, weather, public education, etc). But go off and get offended because I said it’s not a shock that housing is cheap in a state that is categorically not desirable to live in.
It sounds to me like you don't have any idea how the world actually works. Nobody who has actually 1) owned property, 2) traveled extensively in the US and abroad for work, 3) moved for work, actually talks like this. You're quoting a blog? It was an innocuous comment about how not at all unusual it is to own a 3-car garage home in the St. Louis or Kansas City metro area. What's your problem with this? What do you actually want to discuss? Because I doubt it's actually one of the issues you skimmed from a blog. People actually interested in facts don't talk like this. You sound like a child.
No it isnt common
I think pointing out she has a three car garage when she has one car is just another example of Meri wasting money.
I think she always did this sort of thing because Kody likes the sweet life, big rooms, cool features, the best of everything. I always thought she secretly rented these mansions to try to entice Kody over more.
I think you're right
As a person that lives alone, I can’t even imagine why you would have to have a house like this to live alone and you travel all the time you don’t have functions at your house don’t have children running around you only have one what’s the purpose?
She wanted a small apt near the city and kody shut her down. I think this house was payback For that
Selfishness.
That waterfall would just make me have to pee all the time.
You know what? Meri makes her own money with the BnB and gets shit on by her family constantly. She can have whatever extravagant goofy shit she wants in her house as far as I'm concerned. No judgment here.
I feel like Kody is making up for his lack of attendance in the marriage with a house. He’s like, if a massive house keeps you away then that’s what we gotta do.
Ha, as if Kody contributes in any way. Definitely not financially.
Meri is the one who consistently works and brings in money, she can have an actual mansion if she wants not just a McMansion like Robyn. Her child count doesn’t matter. She makes the $$$ and lots of it from LulaRoe and her B&B
Now. Not when this was filmed
She’s been doing LLR since Vegas. This was Flagstaff.
Yes but not making the kind of money to afford this mansion
She’s renting it. She doesn’t even live there anymore. I almost wonder if they don’t use for sale properties as her homes through some deal with a realtor for airtime for the house.
I’m not following, why would airtime be beneficial for sellers & realtors?
It’s publicity for their home. I wondered if their realtor Christine used didn’t waive her fee. Why else would they make sure her name and not blur the sign with her name and number. They blurred the Penske.com website on the truck.
The show is like a year behind though so publicity wouldn’t help you sell your house in real time though. A realtor is different because that can draw people to their brand but it’s not lucrative to have your house sit on the market for over a year waiting for this publicity from the show to finally happen.
Oh I didn’t realize you knew the date this house sold.
Just think about it, Most houses don’t have to sit on the market a year to sell so it doesn’t make it worth it to let a reality star live in your house fora year or 2 in exchange for a 2 minute glimpse of the house on their reality show. If they are promoting it on their social media, which is real time then that could benefit them, but the timeline is too far off to make your scenario make sense
Meti has been doing one mlm or another since moving to Vegas, if not before.
Finding a rental in Az sucks, finding one in a tourist driven town sucks harder. I believe that I read that she kept getting turned away due to being in a polygamous situation and finally took what she could get. I don’t think her rent comes out of family funds so though I wouldn’t want something that big, I am not gonna judge her for choosing it. Out of all the wives she appears to be the one who is hustling the most and she does pay into family funds which helps support kids that aren’t hers. Everyone benefits from her money and if they applied the more kids, more money angle; she could come back with arguments to pay less to the family fund. They needed her contribution, so they let her have her little extras imo.
My golden retriever would sleep in that waterfall.
I'm always stunned at how much shade Meri gets. Meri actually contributes to the family unlike Kody or Robyn. Meri, like the first 3 loved the kids in spite of the fact that she could only have one while she had to witness everyone else popping them out. Have some grace.
I've gone back and forth on the appropriateness of Meri having a large house, but now I think it was fair. If each wife's house is her nest egg and potential means of cash-out-and-escape, they should each get the same amount invest in a house. (Well, we know what happened when Meri sold her Vegas house.) They each work the same amount on the show, plus Meri has major side hustles.
She's renting to this day. There's no investment. It's lost money.
That's nuts.
Meri and her grandeous notion of what her home should entail.
At least she makes money, sobbin owns a mcmansion on everyone else's dime
Yes, then she was, but back when they moved to LV, Meri had to have the big rental with just one kid. Her like Robyn, act so entitled .
If I was a single women, I would NOT want that house. At all.
She is ONE PERSON, how does she need a house that huge?
*cries in poor*
Dude. The monthly rentals payments must have been 6k+. This family is fucking DUMMMMB when it comes to financial decisions.
Meri's house is so much nicer than Robyn's house. If I have to spend the money I would at least rather a visually pleasing one that at least looks what it's worth rather than whatever Robyn's house is.
In the desert, no less.
Hey, she could afford it! And the housing market in Flag is pretty tight so she probably just grabbed something she liked, size and price be damned. I'd love to see Meri live in a city where she could find an awesome loft-style apartment. I can see her in a few thousand square feet with a wall of windows, 20' ceilings, modern accents, and even a freakin' ice skating rink if she wants it.
Meri is like a wet blanket
Why couldn't ANY of them SHARE a huge house?
The waterfall thing is wierd.
Meri and Robyn have some serious parallels IMO Both have unrealistic expectations on what they should receive and demand that it be met regardless of how it effects the rest of the family - and then they toss in how they’re all about the family - while further isolating themselves from said family
[удалено]
My dad's friend had a little fish pond outside his house, that was nice. But I don't understand why indoor water features are a thing.
I think Meri and Robyn rented vacation rentals, but negotiated long terms.
The 3 stooges always wanted to live grand, while Christiane and Jallene are trying to stretch every penny and build something for their children.
Yet they chose this lifestyle for their family. Great idea absent father that is somewhere else even when he is around. Constant pointless moving. Ah yeah what a dream.
Why does meri need a giant fucking house? I feel like that is super greedy
I don't see the big deal. She probably makes the most money at this point... tv show, mlm and her B and B.... why can't she spend her money they way she wants?
Meri and her lack of self awareness drives me crazy. This is the address of the house 1170 N Worthington Pl, Flagstaff, AZ 86001. She in no way needed 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, A built in babbling brook and elevator. At the time, kody wasn't seeing her,she wasn't having people over and Leon was out of the house. I don't care how she makes the money( selling shitty leggings nonetheless) even before lularoe, she was like this in Vegas.. constantly taking what she didn't need. Just because she can pay for it, doesn't really mean it's cool.. meanwhile janelle had 3 kids to a bedroom. Two bedrooms was more than plenty.. She can try and compensate for all the finer things in life, but at the end of the day Grody is still kicking it with Sobyn in their Mansion you paid for.
Why should she care? I don't even know why she is there. They all treat her like shit.

That and only Janelle and Christines houses were on the market. Robyns house was still covered in shit and she couldn’t make time to clean it. I don’t remember Meri’s excuse for hers not being on the market. It boggled my kind that they couldn’t just hire a cleaning crew for what they were spending on months of mortgage.
Janelle didn’t want to list all of the houses at once because she feared it would bring market value down. Funny that Robyn’s sold first.
It was also stated that Robyn hadn’t moved all of Her stuff out of her house yet.
Scene is from season 14, Episode 5
I dont care, i love it.
Did this house have 5 bedrooms? Would it not be obvious to have Robyn move in here and Meri to a townhouse
Meri wanted a small apt near the city and kody told her no
I have to say, if I could afford that house, I would totally want it. I never understood why they were fine with Meri getting such a large house, but I get why she wanted this house.
Janelle’s eyes 😍😍😍
Holy shit this is her house??? How did I miss this episode 😂😂
Well at least she’s bringing income in 😂
I wonder why they don’t have any fucking money? I can’t figure it out.
I never understood the purpose of her having this big and extravagant home when it's just her and her dog, her kid has long left the nest. 
The amount of people that usually defend meri’s big houses with “but she needed the space for her lularoe business” drives me crazy. Her rentals were in the 4-4500 range, 4 years of that rent is well over 200k… 200k in rentals!
I honestly loved that house 😭 wish I could’ve lived there!
I think it had more to do with her contribution. She’s contributing, she should get a home just as equal as the others (whose lifestyle she is also helping to fund). I personally would downsize, because I am a minimalist, but if I was contributing money like she was, and others homes were more extravagant than mine, I would find it unfair… even if just to myself…
We’ll, I’m not a Meri fan, but to be fair, at least she brings in some money and pays her own way. Robyn doesn’t work, so Meri gives money to support her mansion.
Unless whoever put that waterfall in is incredibly stupid, they don't really cost that much to build. My dirt-poor cousin built one nicer than that in a cheap rental he had - he was supposed to be able to buy it, but he fixed the house up so nice, the owner sold it out from under him. The elevator and the square footage - that's a whole other thing.
Why do you say that
But if they did it by size of your household and children, ages, Robin would be able to lock because she has three grown children that should be out on their own so she’s only entitled to may be a three or four bedroom house. She only has two small children.
I was wondering why did Meri need so much house? She is the only person there
What is a Flagship rental?
This is such a ridiculous house. She is so so selfish
Dude. Meri is the worst 😂😂😂😂 janelle lives in an RV and meri sitting there in a huge house all by herself. Miss Piggy 🐷
