On seeking sister wives I knew demitri wasnβt going to like the new potential. And him acknowledging her weight and saying heβs okay that sheβs bigger tells me he does care. Surprise, surprise, heβs not into her. Heβs a phony. Right?? Now all of a sudden he wants to take things slow, when the previous girl he went on a solo date with and banged the first night! Who does he think he's fooling lol

I've had the spinal fusion surgery, my scar is really minimal and this was done 20+ yrs ago. Get the surgery. It depends... Mine is noticeable, T 12 - L 1 and about 6-7 in long, and recovery was a bitch.

As a parent to a child who had scares from multiple surgeries it's easier sometimes too focus on the superficial surgery fears. I imagine it's much more complicated than not wanting a scar although there have been moments that if someone was filming me you would be very wtf about my reasons (that I say out loud) for not wanting a certain surgery. For the record there are very medical procedures I've said no to and usually it's because it's a disagreement between different specialists. Idk the full point of my rambling except that I will never blame a parent for trying everything possible to avoid surgery because every surgery there is risk.

Maddie said something about she's doing a home birth because she feels like birth is a very natural thing and women have been doing it for thousands of years without medical intervention and we're still here. Her tone seemed very know-it-all.
I was mad at that scene too. Like, you know what Maddie? Women used to die in childbirth all the time, like crazy high percentages. That's dropped drastically thanks to modern medicine/technology. I'm somewhat biased, because I'm married to an ob-gyn and I've heard many stories of home births gone bad (we live in a heavy Amish community so that's common around here), and also I'm a big fan of epidurals and pain medicine while birthing/recovering- but I can't fathom taking that risk for myself or my child. Birthing centers are a great compromise if you just can't stand having a Dr manage your care.
Anyway, so I'm interested to see what actually happens during her birth stuff next week. I really liked Maddie up until this episode.

Kody certainly seems done with Meri and it was sad to watch. I wish she could just part ways with him and find happiness with someone else. Although I don't get the vibe that she wants to?

So I should have waited to comment till i actually watched. They don't seem like they won't do surgery just that they are trying to prevent and one of Christine's first comments was that there is a lot of complications associated with it.
This was so hard for me to watch and I totally understand why she feels this way. My son goes for his 8th surgical procedure in a coupked weeks and honestly he's probably headed for a 9th within the next month. The reality is even minor surgeries are scary and this isn't minor. The doctor said worst case they will breed surgery in 10 months. You better fucking believe I am skiing everything I can to prevent my son from having anymore surgeries. I would do voodoo and spend all my money of it could keep him from that operating room. So will the exercises work? Doesn't sound like it but every parent is just doing their best. The scar comments were just a weird vent and honestly scars from surgery are a very strange thing. Like I have a love hate relationship with my sons. Its dumb but is just one more thing in your face telling you about how hard he has had to fight. Anyways this was probably not a great episode for me to watch at this point because we are struggling right now.
Kodi and Meri definitely need to just call it and move on.

Iβm sorry youβre struggling right now sarahwithanh Just from what Iβve seen you post in GD Iβm so in awe of the way you have handled everything youβve gone through with your DS. Iβm not really a prayer but my thoughts are with you guys for his next surgery. You are right it really doesnβt matter how βminorβ the surgery is, it never feels minor when itβs your baby.

Right now a lot is up in the air which makes me uncomfortable and is scary but we are overall better than last year. The next surgery in theory is minor but my son doesn't play nice with these things so we will see. We will be addressing severe sleep apnea but they aren't sure what they will be doing becaus3 his airway is complicated.

I guess I didn't notice a tone, but I can see how someone else could. She just seemed to me like a woman who was set on a birth plan and didn't want to hear anything besides that. I think she did mention that they have a midwife in case of an emergency and have to be taken to a hospital? Or maybe that was Janelle in the preview saying that. I took her more as defending having a home birth because a lot of people seem to be against home births.
(Which wouldn't be for me for the record lol, I have no experience with it so I'm not speaking on that, just saying my impression)

Her tone and demeanor didn't convey someone being defensive. It came across as know it all, better than us idiot sheep who choose the safety of a hospital. It was very off putting to me.

I mean it doesn't look like from the previews that childbirth ends up being as easy as she's picturing, so maybe that's why I'm not taking her comments too seriously haha. Sometimes it's hard to picture how exhausting and painful childbirth is before you experience it

I havenβt watched yet this week but i feel bad for meri. He sister wives always seem to blame meri about how sad and distant she is. I bet they place no blame on Kody.

And I wonder how distant Kody became with meri after Robyn came into the picture. Meri and Robyn seemed so close and now they donβt.
Robyn always looks upset sad or stressed to me.

A lot in this episode has me WTFing Kody. I couldnβt imagine sitting in a therapistβs office and hearing my husband say heβs cool with being my friend but he absolutely doesnβt want an intimate relationship. Does he realize how fucked up it is that he gets to go mess around with three other wives while Meri is by herself in her house? The one thing sheβs seemed excited about in several years of watching the show is her grandmotherβs house and heβs pretty much put his foot down on that. Adding to that the comment that heβs only changed a handful of diapers and how Christine is fawning over him for just going to Ysabellaβs doctor appointment has me rolling my eyes. Heβs such an asshole.

Well I don't want to WK Kody.. but buying that house does seem like an awful idea. She does well with LLR. Sell your Las Vegas house and buy that house and run away.

Itβs not like itβs some well kept secret that labor sucks.

It is highly probable that it will be tonsil removal but it's just too complicated to know for sure and his history says recovery will be very bad and potentially require a lot of intervention. I wish i could see the future.

It will be interesting to see if there was anything that went wrong or if it was just making it look worse than it was for the preview.

Why does Kody need to announce to everyone and their brother that he and Meri are having trouble?

Why does Kody need to announce to everyone and their brother that he and Meri are having trouble? Because he loves attention and sympathy. And so every one knows itβs not his fault if the marriage falls apart. πππ I want Meri to leave and just start totally fresh some where. I feel like she could end up with a really nice, slightly older guy that is a college professor or something.

Meri really does need to leave. I thought it was such a dig at her when Christine had that shirt as a reminder for him & then said he's always present with her. That was proof to me that they she at least talks smack behind closed doors. What a bitch. Puh-lease. We should have a #freeMeri movement.

Meri is so annoying. She is also really stupid. Like, bitch, you don't have the money to just be buying houses willy nilly and she seems genuinely confused as to why the others aren't in full support mode. Stupid. I even like Kody more than Meri and well, that's something.
Maddie's birth was also really fucking annoying. I loved how people came over and just put chairs in the bathroom and watched her labor in the tub for hours, like they were watching a movie.

I feel sorry for Meri, but I do think a lot of Kody's attitude and feelings toward her are because of the catfishing situation. That happened on top of an already not great relationship, and seems to kind of be the breaking point for them. It seems weird to call it cheating when he has 3 other wives, but I feel like he still feels hurt/betrayed over what she did. And I can't really blame him? I would feel a way about that too. And their situation makes it so that they can't really take a break or time apart so just avoiding each other seems to be what they chose to do and it just seemed to make everything fester more.
