Sister Wives

I have to say when I first watched this show I was prepared to be extremely judgmental of these people and to make fun of them. I mostly found myself fascinated by their lifestyle.

I actually think the sister wives would be people I'd like to be friends with. Kody--honestly I don't see the appeal of him. I mean for sure my husband is a hottie so I can see why other women would want to marry him. But Kody...yeah sure he drives a Lexus so I assume he has a pretty good job, but he acts like a teenage boy most of the time. All I can say is that he must be dang good in bed to keep attracting these wives.

I can even see the appeal of sister wives. You always have a built in babysitter. You only have to see your husband every so many days. Cooking and cleaning seems like it'd be a lot easier with other wives to share those chores. You have 16 slave children to do crap around the house. BUT you only see your husband every so many days. I know that I am not evolved enough to watch Paul be in love with someone else.  I would be so jealous all the time. 

I think overall, while this family loves each other a lot, it does seem to be a slightly...I'm actually not even sure of the word. I cannot imagine my parents being okay with me choosing this lifestyle, but I'd guess it'd be different if we had grown up in that lifestyle.  It just seems so male centered.  Like the man is this special being and the women are there to serve him and worship him.  Although the family does seem to have an equality in terms of decision making BUT everything revolves around this guy.  I just don't know.

I do know that I don't think the state of Utah should prosecute these people.  If he is only legally married to one woman and they aren't using state benefits for anything then I think the state doesn't have a case as it doesn't appear like any laws have been broken.  But I also think if a family chooses polgamy and a man chooses to have 200 children then he should be obligated to pay for all those children and NOT be able to utilize welfare.     

Do you think deep down inside every man would want to be a polygamist?  lol 

Just saw an ad for another new reality show...Sarah Palin's Alaska...I will definitely be watching that show with full expectations of making fun of Sarah Palin.  And mostly cause I love Alaska!  It's the most beautiful place.
