Watching Sister Wives is like watching a train wreck...U just can not stop!!!! I think everyone agrees that the man is creepy! and vain. yuck !? I want to know how much money that guy makes a year, and why he is driving a fancy ragtop, while one of the wives had duct-tape holding her car window together...that first wife does not look to happy...and he sure does not mind grabbing a handful of bottom from the newest one...

Do you watch the show or just making a stereotype? Because not all fundamentalists believe the same things or we'd see a lot more families that have tons of kids. Because Michelle talks about how she wanted a large family from the time she was a kid. And not everyone is capable of fostering other peoples (generally troubled) children. I love my kids but I don't think I could handle taking in other peoples children. And I say this as a childcare provider. I have watched all kinds (kids) and most of them are ill-mannered and poorly parented. I don't blame the kids for being "naughty" its the parents that don't know any better. Being a foster parent takes a special kind of people to love and care.

Yes, they may be conservative but they aren't in an abusive relationship. Michelle talks and walks differently not as a woman whose in an abusive relationship like the sister wives.

I hope everyone realizes that 'Sister Wives', the FLDS and others who practice polygamy are NOT members of the Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 'LDS'). It gets very confusing sometimes.
In regards to the reality shows, I wonder how much money they get????

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on the Duggars. I still don't see it as a healthy situation.

My own take on it is that with all the jealousy that the new wife has caused and the husband's infatuation with her, I think the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down very soon.

According to Carolyn Jessop in her book "Escape", there is frequently one wife that steals the husband's heart and then reigns with an iron fist over the other wives, thus causing many problems and dividing the household.

And this is why there are hundreds of channels on TV...so we all can watch what we like! :)

They were all guests on Oprah yesterday. I also can't see any happy ending to all this. If the authorities swoop in the kids will be without parents and, while the kids seemed well adjusted, what must be going on in their heads.

There was a documentary on BBC America in the past week, where a young, female reporter visited, and stayed with, a couple of polygamist families. The older, first wife in one family finally agreed to talk to her and actually discussed the jealousy issue, which was totally glossed over by the younger "wives". It took this particular lady many, many years and a serious illness to come to terms with everything. I'm still not 100% sure if she truly did.

What does Palin have to do with a knothead who has 4 knothead wives?
