'Sister Wives' Season 2 premiere: Ice blocking, coming out and police investigations

TLC's reality program about a family that practices plural marriage, "Sister Wives," is back for its second season Sunday (March 13). The focus of the season premiere is what has happened to the family since going public with their polygamy.The second season kicks off with the adults "coming out" on various mediums and platforms, so Season 2 must have picked up pretty soon after the show began airing, we would assume. Since before all of that, nobody knew anything about the Brown family.
But they aren't regretful about coming out because they're glad to show their solid family to the world. The entire discussion of the different wives' taste in pictures and photography abilities was sweet and funny, very indicative of a normal marriage issue.
Meanwhile, not only are the adults on the show "coming out" in places like the "Today Show" and whatnot, but many of the younger kids are attending public school for the first time. Meri has a good point to make in that kids today are tolerant and taught tolerance, which we think is true. There are, of course, incidents you read about of horrendous bullying, but by and large, we think every passing generation gets more tolerant.
Some of the teenagers who are 'net savvy took to reading the blogs about their show/lives/family and hey - did you find our blog? We have been very supportive!
The negative/scary fallout of the going public is the police investigation of the family and the paparazzi starting to harass the family. Yikes. They have to sit the kids down and talk about being safe and being smart and how that just because someone knows their names does not mean they are friendly.
The wives cry in an interview about how they would choose this life again if they had to and they are tired of being afraid.
It's so interesting to watch the minutia of daily life through the eyes of the kids/wives, like filling out emergency contact forms for the children and listing the sister wives as "other moms." Christine finds it so liberating to be able to do that, she's hilarious.
After the kids' first day at school (which seems to have gone OK), the family goes ice-blocking, which is essentially sledding on ice. It's so unbelievably quaint. It's like Little Mormon House on the Prairie.
We find out that Robyn still lives apart from the other wives and their children. We'd have to imagine they'll find a way to merge houses eventually, right? We hope that's a storyline of the second season, we'd like to see all the Browns living together in one house.
But it turns out, in the previews of the season, that the family decides to move. We know already they move to Nevada, we wonder what kind of living situation they set up there.

How can he be charged with bigamy when he is not legally married to the other three woman And I mean are opinion of legal law of marriage . They believe they are married under god and as legal adults that is their choice. None of them were child brides or forced into that lifestyle . So I believe we should let them live their life . There are way to many bad marriages and abused family's that we should be worried about . The break down of bigamy is to legally marry another,which he has not . I send my love to the Brown family and wish them lots of support .
Wake up this is breaking the law. Not really, as you are only maried to Mari and the other ladies and their children are ladies who don't think much of them selves. Sad their children will also never know they deserved their own dad and family. Sad, sad, sad. If you must do this atlest have enough respect not to drag your children into becoming a TV novelty. You should be ashamed of your selves. Sad.
I think they take well care of there kids... Leave them alone... There a good family. Let them be happy and live there lives. Judge and be judged!
OMG! leave them alone! i guess if he is going to jail, than every married couple that has an open marriage, or have affiars on thier spouse had better too! lets worry about drug dealers, rapiest and child molesters, and all these things that i feel are worth spendiing my tax dollars on, to put people in jail than a family that has all agreed to live like this!
Meri seems depressed and Kody tries to make her feel guilty for being 'jealous?' Isn't that a natural feeling when you are married to someone and watching him go off and sleep with another woman in your house? Then he starts dating a pretty brunette, wow! The low point for me was when Christine was pregnant with his child, and he is driving 5 hours to see his new girlfriend, how sad! That's just very disturbing. I feel bad for these women. The only one who really seems happy is Janelle. (and Kody)
I agree 100%! Leave them alone... Kody is only married by law to one person, there are certainly many other illegal or harmful perversions that will affect children and families. I work with so many families that don't want the kids they have or so involved in the drugs they are using they do not care what happens. These women and Kody have something they can agree upon to raise children and have a strong, happy family!
I see a loving family, and I feel the family shows a lot of respect for each other. They work as a group to make the dynamics of the family work. I have been in a few relationships where that wasn't the case. I support the family and I wish them the best in the future.
He's only married to #1. The rest aren't even common law wives, they are poligamists as well as he is! #1 has expressed her unhappiness with the situation, as he keeps going out and adding more and more women.
Wife #1 needs to get a good lawyer, file for divorce and talk 1/2 of all their married assets!
The other three "wives" can be reduced to welfare and food stamps. HE belongs in jail!
Thank you for sharIng this unusual family.
It is fascinating to see how this family dynamic works.
I wish them the very best and hope they stay strong for each other.
I can accept this family. This is a man and women relationship. However, it is not for everyone. But it is man and women. Not woman and woman and man and man. These relationship are accepted. We need to make sure that the family dynamic is secure for the children and that no child is being abuse or explouted. I am a wife and mother of two. My family is secure. However, a family with a man and women relationship should be more acceptable. Please is it any different than the married man with 3 mistresses. I can accept and will pray for you family.
