What Mariah said!
Mariah said what everybody else had been saying way back - that Meri would have left Kody if Sam was real! Yikes!
shareI know! I just want to send some positive vibes her way. Mariah is emotional like her mom, but articulates her feelings like her dad. She stood up for herself in that conversation, and I'm proud of her. That took guts and emotional honesty. And Kody, who tried to downplay the whole catfishing thing, had a bug put in his ear. I wonder if Kody will chew on that though tidbit for a while. That relationship was real, to Meri. And that is why Mariah is taking this "betrayal" so hard.
shareMariah had guts?
During the conversion? Mariah says "It's alot on my back, I'm just a kid".
JUST A KID? She's over 20. She's an adult.
AT what age would she be an adult???? 35?
Mariah is acting VERY childish for her age when it comes to her mom.
shareYes, and same with Makelty. Many of the kids seem childish for their age. You are right she is an adult. Until she has accountability to be told she is no longer a child and to suck it up she will keep doing it.
shareAnd how is Meri acting? Certainly not mature, demanding everyone "get over it" and forgive her.
shareMariah should act her age. When you are an adult, you should get a life and stay out of your parents relationship issues. It's not Mariah's place to say ANYTHING to either of her parents intimacy issues. It's creepy and weird.
Aside from that, I can't BELIEVE she whined the words "I'm just a kid"...this girl is seriously emotionally stunted and perhaps mentally. Is she not in her mid 20's?
you should get a life and stay out of your parents relationship issues.
You do realize that Meri is the one that put Mariah in this situation. Mariah didn't ask to be brought into this, she was dragged into it. share
I'm sorry but your parents can't force you into anything in your 20's. People don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Mariah is in her 20's...AN ADULT, her parent's intimate relationship is none of Mariah's buisness.
If her mother has no boundaries and wants to try using Mariah as a buddy, it's up to Mariah as an ADULT to lay down adult boundaries and tell her Meri that she is crossing the line and that she doesn't want to hear from Meri about her secret lover or Meri's intimacy issues with dad.
Yes Meri was out of line using her daughter as a buddy instead of a daughter, but Mariah should act her age and learn to lay down boundaries with people. That's what ADULTS do.
When Mariah said 'waaaaahhhh! I'm just a kid', I wanted to slap her.
When you are living under their roof they can very much involve you in stuff that you dont want to be in. I know what 20 is, I have a son that is 20, I also know what an ADULT is as well, I'm not 2 so really you don't need to explain and adult to me.
Not all kids stand up to their parents, but as the parent Meri is at fault for bringing Mariah into this and since she did Mariah now has a say on how she feels about it. Mariah wasnt trying to be in their business, she wasn't going to her mom and asking about their personal life, Meri was willingly telling her about it. As the parent Meri should have not gone to Mariah about any of this, but b/c Meri seems to have this unhealthy attachment to Mariah she talked to her about this stuff even if Mariah didnt want her too.
We can go on about this till the cows come home, but I will not ever change my view to yours and you won't change your mind either, so really this conversation is now at a stand still.
Quite obviously.
I have a 25 year old son. He finished university, has a job, his own home and is getting married next year.
He is not living in my basement because when he became of age I made it clear that I expect him to be an adult and so he is. He would never cry out "It's so hard because I'M JUST A KID wwaaahhh".
Also we have healthy boundaries, if I were to try and come at him with my private sexual goings on, he quite rightly would stop me in my tracks, as it's none of his buisness.
And if you treat your 20 year old as though they are a combination of a 12 year old and your confidant that you discuss your intimate sexual issues with, I would suggest that you and your 20 year old child would be much happier if you aquire your own age appropriate friends and get your 'child' moving towards the adult world and both of you set healthy adult boundaries.
Once your son/daughter graduates high school, it's YOUR JOB to gently yet firmly direct them into adulthood. If you coddle them they will be happy to live in your basement and have you pay their bills, make them meals and do their laundry. And if that's how you treat your 20 year old, congrats, you will end up with a 35 year old CHILD.
All I can say is good luck because it sounds as though you and your CHILD have years of a miserable co dependant relationship.
You should look up co-dependancy.
*....have years of a miserable co-dependant relationship ahead of you.
shareAnd setting adult boundaries is not 'standing up' to your parents. It's just normal healthy adult behavior. Adults with boundary issues are usually in psychoanalysis as having no boundaries sets an adult up for a messed up life, sad relationships and a life of abuse.
shareWhen people tout themselves as great parents and great role models it always fascinates me when I find great tidbits on their bio pages. Here is a little tidbit about your rating of movies:
10.
Trainspotting (1996)

“ I like it for the fact that it's about heroin addiction and I was a drug addict once upon a time. The display was very acurate, more so than Requiem For A Dream. It also added humor to a horrible subject. ” - BridgitteVonHammersmark
I don't know how you jumped to the conclusion the other poster's 20 year old child was codependent, but I do think it is funny to have a former junky lecturing anyone about the subject. share
1) Everyone is entitled to do silly things in their youth, but when you get married and have a child, you have a responsibility to clean your act up - which I did.
If you are a responsible adult (I'll be it a creepy one, stalking peoples sites) and have no wild and crazy stories from ýour youth, well, you're boring.
And I wasn't in a pissing contest with that person regarding parenting. My son turned into an adult in proper timing on his own, not by my cuckolding. I never praised my parenting, I was touting my son's healthy lookout and the fact that he, as a 25 year old, lives the life of an adult (which he is one) and doesn't cry out 'but I'm just a child--wwaaahhhh.'
This is totally off topic and none of my business, but I put nothing online I wouldn't want anyone to see - parents, kids, future employers...
shareI am not ashamed of myself nor do I have anything to hide. Yes when I was in high school I experimented with drugs, but that was decades ago.
Any person (an employer, my son or anyone else) who claims not to have skeletons in their closet is full of s hit. Why should I be ashamed of something I did when I was a teenager?
Also, I'm German. We are not puritanical like you Americans.
ALSO, these IMDB profiles are private. It's not like I'm signing on here with Facebook right? You have no clue who I am.... I could be lying in every post right?
But thanks for your naiive advice though.
I know it's doubtful anyone would see anything on IMDb but I was just being helpful. I'm not naive, as US employers look at social media when hiring.
shareI'll be it a creepy one
I think the word you were looking for is albeit
not by my cuckolding.
cukolding - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cuckolding
"Two gin and Frescas"
"Shaken, not ridiculed" share
What other females on IMDB are you stalking? You should notify them as they have a right to know.
Now you admitted it to me by accident, but you really should do the right thing, Desert DUDE (with that name, you must live American style in a desert trailer park), and notify all of the females that you are stalking. Be a stand up man for once.
Stalk you? Don't flatter yourself. All I have to do to see your profile is to click on your name in one of your posts. I do that frequently with any poster, male or female, that has constant meaningless diarrhea of the keyboard.
You are right, when I am not at home I live in my desert home, a Winnebago, which sometimes stays in an RV park. How are the animals and your children getting along in your fachhallenhaus.

Mariah is emotional like her mom but articulates her feelings like her dad.Mariah & Kody could not be more different in the way they express themselves. Mariah has always said anything she's felt as children tend to do and Kody has been measured as a man who has lived his life as a polygamist. However, he was more honest in this episode concerning Meri. That's why he said they shouldn't have filmed their conversation. share
