Relax, relax -- baby Solomon and mom Robyn are healthy and doing fine. It wasn't Solomon's actual birth (which, yes, took place at home) that made the Sister Wives season finale so shocking, it was what happened directly afterward. But I'll wait to talk about that until after the jump, because man, what a SPOILER ALERT!!!
Anyway, no biggie, because there were plenty of surprises that happened before the birth to concern ourselves with now. Like Christine's big reveal about what a hard time she had accepting Robyn into the family. Well, that in and of itself wasn't a huge surprise, but the part about how she felt like she treated Robyn badly was kind of unexpected. I never really noticed her being mean to Robyn, did you? I always thought it was Meri who had the major issues with wife #4.
Which is what made the aforementioned afterbirth event SO SHOCKING!
Okay, here goes. After baby Solomon was born (FYI: Kody was, not surprisingly, a pretty awesome birth coach. You could swear he had experience or something!), and each sibling had a turn holding their new little brother (a fairly lengthy process), Robyn told Kody that she needed to speak to Meri alone. Hmmm ...
What could she have to say to her family's founding wife? I figured it was going to be something like, "Hey, I'm glad we've grown closer over these months and thanks for sticking up for my kids, etc."
But no! Just moments after pushing out yet another member of the Brown family (by the way, those are some damn strong genes Kody has! Kid looks like him already!), Robyn offered her services as a surrogate to the fertility-challenged Meri.
Um ... wow?
Of course Meri cried, and Robyn cried, and the episode ended on a will they or won't they? note, with Robyn assuring Meri that she didn't have to feel pressured to make a decision right away.
Although, you know, if the Sister Wives really want to get picked up for another season ... might not be a bad idea ...
Do you think Robyn should be a surrogate for Meri?

I cried with them! I thought that was so sweet of robyn to offer! Meri had been saying since season 1 that she has wanted more children, but couldnt. I hope Meri takes her offer, i would LOVE to see her and kody have another baby!
I think it's a very sweet offer. They're all family, so the child would have a strong bond with both Meri and Robyn regardless. I kind of hope she goes for it.
This show and their lifestyle is sickening, it's not like they are even true to their 'religion'. I have not, nor will I ever watch this trash!
I cried for about 10 min after this episode aired. I am also one that could not have a sister wife but to all there own. I really like the show and I was so suprised that robyn would offer merri that choice :)
I thought it was very sweet and touching that Robyn offered it, but I hope that she didn't make her final decision to offer it based on all the emotion she was feeling at the time. It would be so mean if she reneged later on. I also think that most women want to carry their own child. This is very possible for Merri because Kody offered for her to do invitro. So, even if Merri doesn't accept, she could have her own.
This show is a disgrace to marriage and all that it stands for. Why haven't these folks been arrested yet? I just don't understand it....congrats on the new baby though that is a blessing no matter what :)
God, you guys are SO RIGHT. It's a total disgrace to marriage. How dare these 5 consenting adults choose to love each other in a group setting and raise their children together with little to no drama - other than what the outside, intolerant world creates for them.
What an outrage, I hate seeing happy families who choose to live differently than I do. It makes me sick.
I'd so much rather watch a show about a man and a woman (no homosexuals, and make sure it's not an interracial couple, y'all, because that's SO wrong) who fight all the damned time and beat their kids. That's what marriage is about. That's the true blessing of marriage.
What ignorant asshats some people are....
