Kody Brown‘s wife #3, Christine, is fed up, and she doesn’t want to take it anymore, she announced on last night’s, Dec. 16, episode.

Christine, who is mother to six of Kody’s 17 children, including toddler Truly, 2, says that she’s sick of leading a separate life from Kody and her three sister wives. “I look at our family, and we’re isolated from each other and we’ve failed. It feels like we’re living our separate lives, and we don’t need each other every day,” she laments.

Two years of living in Las Vegas in four different homes — one for each of Kody’s wives and their children — has created Christine’s intense feelings of isolation.

“My relationship with my sister wives is dwindling,” Christine says sadly. “It’s not as strong as it used to be. We’re not each other’s support system.”

Christine’s Real Reason For Choosing To Be a Sister Wife

Christine reminds Kody and the other wives that “I wanted sister wives more than a husband. I don’t want to raise kids on my own — I don’t reach out, and you don’t reach out for support. I’ve been raising my kids on my own for two years, and I don’t want to do it anymore!” she tells the other adult members of the polygamist family, emphatically.

Poor Christine — she’s at her wit’s end. Especially because she’s been desperately trying to study for her real estate exam after failing it the first time.

The big problem is that she has six children interrupting her at all times, and then also laying on the guilt.

“If I fail one more time, my daughter Ysabel said that ‘you’ll just be studying more and ignoring me again!’” Oy! No wonder Christine is down in the dumps that the sister wife thing just isn’t working the way it’s supposed to. Jeez- we suspected that this sister wife thing wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Christine Feels Like A Loser

She’s also having serious self confidence issues. “Failing the first time (at the real estate exam) was just one of many failures — I don’t need another failure,” she confesses. “Passing the test will be a personal goal — something I personally achieved.”

But here’s the big question: Where has Kody been for the past two years? And where’s he been while Christine’s been struggling to get her real estate license so she can help support the family?

Why hasn’t Christine confided in Kody about her feelings of isolation? Why hasn’t he done anything to bring his sister wives together to help each other?

Kody’s sole focus has been trying to buy four houses together, but his polygamist family needs more than just side by side houses to stay close.

And if Kody really wants to take on four wives, then isn’t it his obligation to make sure that “sister wives” get along?

Kody- Is Sperminating His Biggest Priority?

Or does he really just see that his major role is “sperminating”? After all, he recently told Meri, wife #1 that he will have two more children, whether with her or not.

Seems to me that Kody Brown needs to concentrate on making his four existing marriages work and needs to have close relationships with his existing 17 children, before he marries or impregnates even more!

What do you think HollywoodLifers? Do you agree? Tell me now.

Kody Brown and his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn finally made some honest confession to Steve Harvey on his show today, Nov. 30.

“We do have jealous moments over Kody,” revealed wife#3 Christine. “If I’m having an insecure moment and not feeling confident about who I am,” — that’s when it happens.

The polygamist family also admitted that the wives will fight with each other, but husband Kody acts in full self preservation mode at that point.

“He ducks and hides,” laughs Meri.

Insists Kody in his defense: “it’s dangerous for me to mediate between them because I’m their husband.”

Instead, Kody explains that when one wife has a complaint about another, “I need to validate her and then let her work it out with the other wife.”

But it was Janelle who probably said the thing that all non-polygs suspected. “He’s pretty much always in the doghouse with one of us.”

How could Kody not be? One husband, four wives, 17 kids. No man could keep all those personalities happy at one time! Don’t you agree, HollywoodLifers?

The case against the polygamous family featured on Sister Wives has been dismissed, Utah prosecutors announced. In 2010 authorities had investigated charges of bigamy against Kody Brown and wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, but the case is now closed.

Court papers explain the county has adopted the same policy as the state in regrads to bigamy and would not pursue criminal charges unless evidence exists of a victim or fraud. The family has 17 children among them, and was made popular by the TLC reality show that fascinated America.

The Browns’ attorney, Jonathan Turley, said they were “pleased that charges wouldn’t be filed” but have no plans to withdraw the lawsuit they filed against the county when they moved to Las Vegas.

Kody Brown is proving to not be able to juggle four wives. On the upcoming May 27 episode of Sister Wives, Christine Brown breaks down crying and tells Robyn Brown that it’s “not personal” why she was cold to her last season.

Christine says that Kody didn’t do a very good job making all the wives feel included — not a surprise!

Tune in this Sunday to TLC at 9pm ET!

Kody Brown talks a good game — like he has a good and sensitive relationship with each of his four wives — but he’s an epic fail with Christine, who is mother of six of his children.

Christine confides in Meri that there are things in their relationship she and Kody have to talk about and fix. But Meri’s advice is about as helpful as Kody’s relationship denial. Christine has to face the depressing thought that Kody may never admit that he’s wrong and that she can only work on their relationship in a one-sided way.

That would be hard enough in a marriage between just two people, but when you have three other wives in your marriage, can you imagine??

The stars of TLC’s Sister Wives live by the code of “the more the merrier,” and that was certainly the case April 13 as the reality fivesome enjoyed a wild night out in Las Vegas! Kody Brown was spotted at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand with wives Janelle, Christine, Robyn and Meri Brown, where they watched Mike Tyson‘s one-man show, followed by a Dancing with the Stars live performance. Eyewitnesses say the Browns looked “cozy” all night.

While we love all of the wives, were most excited to see Robyn out and about. Less than six months after giving birth to baby Solomon – her fourth child — she looks back to her old self!

Kody and his ladies were all smiles on the red carpet, but we can’t wait to find out what’s really been going on behind the Browns’ closed doors when the new season of Sister Wives begins May 13 on TLC!

Well, I had to hand it to sister wife #3 Christine. After a season of backstabbing Robyn — saying she wouldn’t want to be as skinny as her, complaining that Kody only cared about Robyn’s needs — she’s finally admitted she’s been a “sister wife” mean girl.

“My treatment of (Robyn) hasn’t been accepting and welcoming to say the least. I made her feel like she wasn’t welcome, that I didn’t want her as a sister wife, like she wasn’t a wife of Kody,” confesses Christine as she prepares a “peace offering” for Robyn.

Her gift is a stitched wall hanging saying “our family has grown by two feet,” which she is framing for Robyn’s baby Solomon’s room.

I admire the formerly youngest and newest wife Christine for so honestly admitting to her feelings now after passively aggressively denying them for months and then griping behind Robyn’s back and being miserable to  husband Kody.

Of course, us non-sister wives can actually completely identify with Christine who has six children with Kody. Why would she have wanted to have even less time with the husband she was already sharing with two other women? Why would she want her children to see even less of their father, who now has 17 kids?

Why would she have supported Kody falling in love with a younger, prettier and slimmer new wife, who got pregnant right away?

Well in the world of sister wives, jealousy ISN’T supposed to be normal. So Christine, clearly feels good about getting over the green-eyed monster.

“I feel bad for blaming her for taking Kody away and for being Kody’s favorite … it’s not OK to treat people mean,” says contrite Christine. “I dread that my children won’t think of her as a mom because of how unfair I’ve been and that’s not OK.”

Christine even admits that she could have potentially caused “this family a lot of harm.” But now she’s claiming Robyn’s baby “is so special to me. I love him. I welcome Solomon (the new baby) as my son.”

Yah right. That I’m not buying.

Janelle, wife #2, at least is honest about how SHE feels about Robyn’s now baby. “I probably won’t get up in the middle of the night to see the baby,” she predicts. “I am excited,” nevertheless she says, sounding completely and utterly NOT excited.

Robyn of course, is oblivious to everything, but the fact that she’s about to give birth at home “naturally,” like she did with her other three kids.

Is it a sister wife thing to give birth “naturally?”

Who knows? But Robyn’s mother gave birth to ALL seven of her kids at home and Robyn says that hospitals scare her. Lucky for her and her mom that she’s never had any complications.

In hospitals Robyn contends “you’ll miss the magic of the actual regular birth that God designed,” she intones. In the hospital, “they’ll throw in a pitocin (a drug to speed up delivery) or an epidural ( yea, right, like they just throw those in without telling you) . My body is designed to carry and deliver the baby — God designed a woman’s body to do that,” recites Robyn.

Like I said — Robyn is so annoying because of course HER body functions perfectly during delivery unlike many woman who have trouble delivering safely and without horrendous pain. And she does sound superior, spouting off as if the maternal and baby childbirth death rates haven’t plunged since the modern era when doctors helped God’s “design” along.

Kody’s teens have majorly mixed feelings about Robyn’s baby as well as their mothers.

“I honestly think we have more kids than we can handle,” says Hunter, who has had a really tough time with the move from Utah to Las Vegas.

“I don’t know if I’m excited, we have so many kids right now,” admits Madison. And again who can blame her, Hunter or any of the other teens. Their dad only spends one in four nights with each of their moms — and that means with them. How can he possibly give them each any attention at all. Meanwhile, Kody is deeply obsessed with his new baby and cries when Solomon arrives. That’s nice, but Kody being a dad isn’t just about sperminating!

When Kody isn’t busy reproducing, he finds time to look for property where the family can one day build four homes — one for each wife — right next to each other. At least, he doesn’t talk about making sure there’s room for a fifth house… and fifth wife.

The family also scouts locations for their unlikely new business – a fitness studio. “It’s humbling that we’re looking at a fitness center because we’re not in the best of shape,” points out Christine, in the understatement of the year. But good for the sister wives to at least be trying to get in shape.

And this family of 21, BETTER find a new source of income besides TV soon because it sure has a lot of mouths to feed and college tuitions to pay.

Plus there will be new fertility treatments coming up.

Robyn and Meri have actually as it turns out bonded the way sister wives are supposed to and have become very close. Meri, wife #1, makes the astounding statement that she’s never had a deep personal relationship with her other sister wives. This is shocking considering that she shared the same house as Janelle and Christine for years! How sad!

But the season finale closes with a heartrending moment as now SUPER perfect Robyn makes the loving and gracious offer to become infertile Meri’s surrogate. “I’ve been praying about it ever since we met — I mean it,” she offers stunned Meri.

Meri, who has previously decided against in vitro, cries and hugs Robyn.

For her sake — I hope she takes up Robyn’s offer and that it works.

For our sake — we’re guaranteed at least one more drama-filled season of Sister Wives!

Were any of you as stunned as I was when Robyn made it clear that if the 13 other Brown children didn’t stop bullying her 3 kids, she would let them leave her and live with their biological father and not her.

“If Dayton, 12, Aurora, 9, and Breann, 7, don’t feel like they’re a part of this family, they can chose at a certain age to not be with me anymore. They can chose to live with their biological father,” she announces tearfully.

She explains that her children have been treated differently by the other Brown children and she thought that it would get better after a year and a half but that it’s actually been getting worse.

Paedon, 13, and Garrison, 11, have been the worst offenders apparently in picking on Robyn’s children and Paedon hits little Breann in the eye on the episode.

Meri actually intervenes and blows up at all the kids: “You guys – these are your brothers and sisters and you better start treating them like it,” she yells and asks for backup from the other mothers.

But she doesn’t get it – at least not from wife #3 Christine, who’s been acting out herself ever since Kody married Robyn.

In fact, Christine doesn’t like that Meri is standing up for Robyn’s kids . “For me the timing was off. I would have preferred if Meri just talked to Paedon ( who is Janelle’s son),” she said.

It seems that in her usual passive aggressive way, Christine is getting back at Robyn, who stole her spotlight, but this time is using Robyn’s kids literally, as a punching bag.

Let me remind you that Christine at 222 lbs has said she wouldn’t want to be slim like Robyn. She’s said she was blissfully happy as Kody’s third wife before Robyn came along AND she has been very clear that she feels that Kody has ignored their relationship since he’s been focusing on Robyn and her kids, and now she feels that her and Kody’s relationship is in trouble!

But who would have thought that Christine would sink this low – allowing bullying of little Breann to go unpunished.

Meanwhile, Kody has usual, is helpless and hopeless, when it comes to disciplining his kids, or shall we say – even raising them!

“I’m very concerned about problems that stem from bullying in this family. I’m at a loss,” he whines. “And I’m figuring there are millions of other parents wondering what the heck to do with their kids.”

Oh please, Kody. You’re not just a sperm doner to 17 kids – you’re their father and that means you intervene and discipline your kids that are bullying your other kids. It’s simple. It’s what fathers who have only one wife do – they get involved!

Kody’s so busy running to four different houses, wives and beds – I guess he has no time left to actually parent the kids that he sires.

It’s left to Robyn to make the decision that if she can’t “cement” her kids into the family and make them feel like it’s their family within a year and a half, then they can start leaving and going to live with their biological father.

Amazingly, she is more committed to staying as a sister wife than to being with her own children. Would you make the same decision?

Actually she’s already giving Breann, 7, away to live with Kody’s first wife Meri and  Christine is giving her daughter, Ysabel, 6, away to Meri as well.

Poor Breanna and Ysabel don’t seem to understand that their mothers are giving them away to Meri and that it’s not just as an overnight trip.

Meri has redecorated her guest room for the little girls and it looks like she’s had some help from Pottery Barn Kids. The room is a little girls’ heaven. Except that it seriously appears that Breanna and Ysabel have been handed off to sister wife, Meri for a lot more than a sleepover!

“I know Ysabel respects Meri and there are rules that she has to follow more, and there are things that Meri can give her that I can’t,” explains Christine.

Some people will think I’m being a bad parent because I’m dishing off a child,” Christine adds cheerfully. “But it’s a perk of the lifestyle.” The polygamist lifestyle that is.

Christine even goes so far as saying “maybe Ysabel was supposed to come to (infertile) Meri, while Robyn just cackles and says, “my evil plan is to keep Meri, busy with my kids!”

Trouble with the kids, is the theme of the show. The Brown teens are still miserable and cranky after the move to Las Vegas.

Clueless Kody points out that “teenagers have this hormonal issue. They get angry for no reason at all.”

Except that they do have a reason: “I don’t like it here (Las Vegas),” grumps Hunter, 13. You’re just stuck here in this hell hole,” gripes Madison 14.

Hunter’s so angry he basically accuses Robyn of being lazy for putting makeup on a camping trip, when he is desperate to go fishing.

All Kody can do is tell us that “Hunter’s a raging testosterone monster. He just has this attitude that my parents are stupid and I am God.”

Even oldest son Logan 15, is a better parent than Kody. He at least calls his brother out, unlike his father.

“You are disrepectful!,” he yells at Hunter.

Thank you, Logan! At least you’re acting like a grownup and are trying to discipline the Brown children, unlike your dad!
