Sister Wives

The new season of Sister Wives debuted last night on TLC.  The family is in a bit of upheaval since the move to Las Vegas.

Kody and Robyn announced the imminent arrival of their baby.  The news was joyous to some; less than enthusiastic from others.  The most notable lack of excitement was from Kody's second wife Janelle.  As Robyn expressed on camera; a pregnancy is proof of the intimacy between husband and wife.  It is the one time when it is impossible for the other wives to ignore the obvious.

The hardest hit by the pregnancy was Mariah, Meri and Kody's only child.  Meri is Kody's first wife, but has only been able to have one child.  Mariah was so concerned about her mother's feelings that she burst into tears.  Robyn came to console her, understanding the delicate nature of the matter.

Many of the children are having a difficult time adjusting to their new surroundings.  This is especially true for Janelle and Kody's son, Hunter.  I feel bad for him.  Poor kid!  He has shut down since the family arrived in Las Vegas.  He was once an avid football player.  Now, he has no desire.
 The change has been devastating for Hunter.

Can't wait to see what this season brings.  I have one question already; and it concerns finances.  In Utah the family had two homes between the four wives.  In Las Vegas there are four homes; one for each wife.  How are they affording it?  I know Janelle no longer works.  Do reality stars get paid more than I think?  Is housing a steal in Vegas?  Somebody tell me!
