It seems like every other "reality" show star has a spin-off show, book, successful clothing line, wine, etc. I just don't understand why it is so difficult for the sister wives. I would think that there are many people who have business/creative backgrounds who could actually start and run something with just the sister wife brand attached to it. Are they against that?

I think her son is the older boy (13ish?) with aspergers.

Anyway, what was with the many Salvation Army emblazoned boxes in every scene? Oddly, the SA was pixelated out, as most bam brands are. Anyone else see the boxes? I recall SA boxes in Robyn's kitchen, in Mari's house.
Are they SA recipients? The boxes remind me of what a food pantry client might receive...canned goods and cereals, etc.all packed in big boxes.
YES - I clearly saw the *new* (not -recirculated) Salvation Army boxes and wondered if they were "clients" (S/A calls the poor it services "clients"). Most S/A clients are on welfare. Most 2d/3rd/4th wives, et al., are on welfare as "single nonworking mom with children". That's why it was so important for Robyn to get a S.S. card (notice that) - so she could apply for welfare. All the wives after the first in compounds or other fundamental outpost are on welfare.
I think she already had a SS card. It was important for her to get her name changed to Cody's last name.
Also, if they're all on welfare as "single nonworking mom with children", how did they qualify for those huge-ass houses? This doesn't make sense.

This is exactly my point. If any mortgage should have gone thru it would have been Meri's since she is the only one legally married to Cody. Presumably (hah!) Cody has good credit. I suspect the T.V. show is funding the building of the houses. At one point in the last two weeks, one of the characters said their house was not ready because they were waiting for the "underwriter's" decision, which tells me someone is bankrolling these houses for the T.V. show.
