Sister Wives: Why Meri's House Is Larger Than Janelle & Christine's
Unfortunately, Kody Brown's wives have gotten used to receiving disparate amounts of affection from their husband in Sister Wives, and fans noted that another disparity between the polygamists is found in the size of Meri's house. Although she has the least children and is typically the last to receive special treatment from Kody, viewers noticed that Meri's home is much bigger than Christine and Janelle Brown's modest houses. From her extra streams of income to her newfound independent spirit, here's why Sister Wives fans think Meri's house is larger than Janelle and Christine's.
Throughout her harrowing journey in Sister Wives, Meri has gotten used to getting the short end of the stick. Even though she was Kody's first wife, Meri has fallen far from her spiritual husband's graces as the pair have gone from loving spouses to frenemies over the course of their decade starring in Sister Wives. Regrettably, Meri illustrated that she's the least connected to the rest of her family as she spent most of Sister Wives season 16 quarantined alone in her house to abide by Kody's strict COVID-19 guidelines. Fortunately for the original sister wife, fans realized that Meri's house is larger than Janelle and Christine's. Although she's used to settling for last, Meri's Flagstaff home easily outdoes her fellow sister wives'.
Unfortunately, Kody Brown hasn't been the best at treating all of his family members equally through Sister Wives' decade-spanning run. Most obviously, Kody's relationship with Robyn is much more functional than his connections with his first trio of sister wives. Due to this imbalance, Meri, Janelle, and Christine are typically stuck in the same boat, except for when it comes to the Sister Wives' Flagstaff properties. While Janelle and Christine live in reasonable homes, viewers noted that Meri inexplicably lives in the largest of the three. Some viewers don't see how Meri managed to earn the biggest house of the original three sister wives as she lives alone and would be least likely to garner support from Kody. Fans pointed out that Meri was able to nab the nicest house by learning to provide for herself. One Reddit user shared, "At that point, [Meri] was paying for everything herself."
Although Janelle Brown's thought of as the financially astute sister wife, Meri's hustled to make her own money since her relationship with Kody has gone south. Most memorably, Meri took on her passion project of opening up her own bed and breakfast. While it's unclear how lucrative the B&B business is, Meri's also gained plenty of traction selling clothes with the controversial business, LuLaRoe. Although viewers have questioned the ethics of Meri's venture, fans believe it has made her enough money to make significant purchases like her large house. A commenter explained, "Meri has more money than any of them. She hustles." Additionally, viewers believe Meri's house is larger than Janelle's because Janelle is a saver. A fan noted, "Janelle has always been WILDLY frugal." Since Meri's practically on her own, the sister wife feels free to spend her money how she sees fit.
Meri might receive the least affection from Kody Brown in Sister Wives, but the size of the original sister wife's home makes up for her loneliness. Although she doesn't seem like the most well-off Sister Wives star, fans think Meri's house is larger than Janelle and Christine's due to her career as a saleswoman and her freedom to spend her money however she likes. Hopefully, Meri's disproportionately massive house makes up for the minuscule amount of affection she earned from Kody in Sister Wives.
