*** Christine's kids ALL had awful names. I guess the FLDS folks don't get all pearly-clutchy over trendy names. 

*** I don't get how they are attempting to "live as a normal family" when the kids go to an FLDS school, and seemingly spend the rest of the time at home with each other. when do they interact with non-pliggy kids? this could turn into a "mini-compound"

*** The 3 wives all seem to get along well - and I think it helps that all of them have been together so long, and raised all of the kids as siblings - I think adding in a 4th and 3 "stepkids" will throw off balance in the family and cause some serious issues.

*** I feel bad for the kids. 

*** I wonder is Mari ( wife #1) feels like a failure because she only had one kid and both of the others have a litter. 

***Janelle (wife #2) works because it lets her get the hell out of the house. I don't blame her in the least. I was happy to hear her tell the kids that they need to go to college before they get married. 

*** Christine makes me sad "i always wanted to be a third wife." 

*** The first (hour long) episode was a bit dry, but I think the show has potential when Kody starts dating wife #4.

    I forgot to record this, but I have it set up for Wednesday night. I'm interested to see how this plays out.

    Polygamy is so creepy to me, but I'm fascinated by it.

    <div>YES! I can't imagine sharing DK. He was watching with me last night, and I told him not to get any ideas. </div>

    They were on the Today Show last week, questioning Wife #4 about entering the family.

    I've only watched about 20 minutes of this show so far.  I have it on DVR and plan to watch the rest later.

    "I always wanted to be a third wife?"  Talk about setting the bar low.  Did she explain why this seemed like such a great life goal?

    H is sort of living the life right now (minus the sex) because my friend has been staying with us since before Burning Man. She helps cook and stuff. I told him that I'm not sharing him and that when she finds a place to live that's it on the second wife thing.

    <div>yes - she thought it would be easiest. </div><div>
    </div><div>she didn't want to be first wife because she didn't want to just be married to a man by herself. she didn't want to be second because she didn't want to be a wedge between man and wife #1. </div><div>
    </div><div>apparently if man is having issues with 2 wives, the best course of action is to add a third!</div>
