Let's talk "Teen Mom"

Baby_Bunny_Hopeful

Just watched it on DVR last night.....

I can't believe what a jack @ss Maci's FI (ex-FI?) is!!  He was gone for THREE weeks... then doesn't spend any time at home and is out till PAST 7:30am at the clubs with his friends?!?!?  Freaking immature... definitely happy she left him- and I hope they STAY apart!  They deserve better.  Hopefully he wises up at some point and realizes his responsibilities.

Which brings me to Farrah... come onnnn... you're 19- you don't need to spend your time "looking for a man" so that your daughter will "have a father"!!!  Your daughter needs to be raised with strong self-worth, and if all her mother is doing is looking for validation in the form of men who will financially support her, she's going to be in for a Loooooong ride!  Get your priorities straight!  You can still be a "college student" and have fun, without making your priority to "find a daddy for the baby."  Geesh.

I'm drawing a blank on the other girl- who dropped out of high school when pregnant... I feel SOOO bad for her!  Her boyfriend is simply mean!  Doesn't value her desire to further her education, and really treats her poorly.  He reminds me of a big video game junkie who thinks everything in life is a joke- including his girlfriend and child.

 I feel really bad for the two that gave Carly up for adoption!  I know it was the most mature decision they could make... but not knowing where she is, her full name, or anything- that's got to be tough!!  Especially since they have a somewhat "open" adoption and still see pics of her, etc.  I can't imagine.  I just hope that they don't have any issues when their time comes to have those 2 visits with the baby... time will tell....

sorry!!  Didn't mean to spoil anything!!

I totally agree with you.  With an execption for the parents who gave up Carly.  I mean good for them for giving her up, but it seems like they are expecting the adoptive parents to drop everything so that they can come see the baby or take the baby to them.  Im sure this would be easier if they lived closer.  Plus the dad, wow I think I might have opted for a smaller tat rather than put something so large on my skinny chest.  Lol but thats just my opinion.

I completely agree with you're entire opinion..I love that show but I couldn't imagine being ANY of them..

I am totally hooked on this show! I have to say I agree with all of your opinions! I really feel for Carly's parents - it can't be easy not knowing her full name, where she lives, etc. Farrah totally needs to grow up....end of story. Maci is much better off without her FI. How old is he anyway? He's out partying and living the single life acting like he doesn't have a care in the world! I can't remember the girl who dropped out of high school's name either, but I feel for her. She is trying to make things right and get her life in order, but her BF doesn't seem to support her at all. I can't wait to see what happens next!!!!

I feel for Carly's parents too. Especially when the boy's father is basically pretending he doesn't exist for giving up his child... what is he doing when he pretends his son is not there? Hypocritical much?

Farrah really is still in high school drama mode she should really hear what her sister is trying to tell her. However her sister should attack those conversations in a different way or she may lose Farrah and her niece.

Maci has the strength to leave her FI which is great. I hope she makes it.

Is the other girl Amber? I can't remember, well I hope her man grows up. He really does put a game first and its sad to watch especially when she is trying to better her and her babies life.

Have to say DH and I really enjoy that show!  I didn't see the whole reunion show what happened to the couple that had Westin.  From the ads for reunion looks like he might have some medical issues. Just curious why they aren't on the new show.

The adoption couple upsets me.  I was totally touched by their whole situation when I saw it.  They seemed so mature and realistic.  Then I saw the first ep of Teen Mom.  Really, you just had a baby and gave it up for adoption and you are having unprotected sex? I felt like they really didn't learn from their heartbreaking decision. 

I can't stand Farrah. She is by far the most immature!  I think part of my hatred for her is the fact that she is just like my sister.  My sis is single parent, lives with my parents and biggest priority is finding a man.  However, my sister is 28 and apparantly stunted at 16.  My H and I laugh when we watch Farrah bc it's like we are watching my sister!

*LrCg*

Whenever I watch this show I get so upset and feel so bad for the babies!  The ONLY mom that really treats her baby well is Maci.  The other ones- Farrah and I think her name is Amber (the drop out) are horrific!!  I mean they cuss in front of their baby, yell, and pretty much ignore their child.  I'm glad Maci left Ryan and I think she'll be much happier and she seems extremely stable- I'll be curious to see if she ever saw the footage of Ryan dancing with the girls at the club.  I mean really you'd rather be dancing with other girls then home with your soon to be wife and son.  DH & I laughed when Farrah was complainning because she hasn't gone out in a week- DS is 1 and we've gone out alone to dinner 2 times because we want to spend our time with him.  And I like that her sister calls her out.

My younger sister acts like this and she is 26!!!  Including lives at home and mom watches the baby, all the time, it absolutely drives everyone in our family BSC. She was going out and trying to meet guys when she was pregnant too.  Just take care of what you have on your plate, it's really enough.

Ditto on the comments above.

I worry that Maci is having like an unnatural attachment to her little man? Like all those times she was calling her boyfriend...had he woken up? Did she wake him up? Did she keep him up all night with her? Then in one scene she says to him, "Are you my best friend?"  EH...maybe not the relationship you want with your kiddo, right? I'm glad she's back with her parents and maybe they can provide some good support.  Wasn't she going to school? What happened there?

i totally agree with you all! I think maci is one of themost mature of the bunch but i was wondering the same thing when she had the baby up all night...

 

I found it crazy in the first episode last week when amber (the drop out) and her man were talking and the baby i swore was about to fall either through the window or off the couch...

 

i do feel bad for carlys parents it must be hard for them to have given up that baby and they are so yound... i cant even imagine

I used to really feel for them and think they were so awesome and everything- until the last episode when they said they still weren't using protection. And in this episode when they kept saying "My baby"- like "I don't even know my baby's last name" My thought was well she's not really your baby anymore. They're never going to move on from the whole adoption thing if they keep thinking of Carly as their baby. She has new parents now, even if it is an open adoption. And IMO, I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go see the baby if I knew I wasn't going to handle it well.
