Teen Mom thoughts

member
Farrah: Ok Farrah I was feeling sorry for you until this past episode. Your parents actually tried and they gave their attention to you and not just Sophia and just acted like a little brat. You need an attitude adjustment.
Maci: When Ryan has Bentley you always see his parents with Bentley and Ryan doing something else. Maybe that is just how they are trying to make it look but he doesn't seem to interested in Bentley.
Caitlyn: When they showed that neckalce to the adoption agency I cried like a little baby!
Amber: She is a terrible mother. I do think Gary woke Leah up on purpose but oh well deal with it. Obviously Leah likes her dad way more than her mom. I thought it was funny when Gary took the TV and sheets, but it just shows you how immature they are. BTW Amber has lost a lot of weight.
final note: Why does the camera zoom in on Gary's un shirted belly. I do not need to see that.

Re: Teen Mom thoughts
When it comes to Caitlyn and Tylor I was wondering if anyone else feels bad for Brandon and Theresa? If I remember correctly from 16 and pregnant they were not overally open to an open adoption and I feel like Teen Mom is so focused on C and T being Carley?s parents that I feel sad for her Mom and Dad. I am not trying to say it is not hard for C and T, but I am sure it is hard for the baby?s adoptive parents. I feel like sometimes it takes away from the fact that her adoptive parents are her parents. After watching what C and T have gone through and hearing the way Brandon and Theresa voices sound when they talk I am starting to think open adoptions may not be what they are cracked up to be. I feel like it just makes it harder for everyone involved. Any thoughts?
Farrah: That girl really needs to stop rolling her eyes during every.single.conversation. Even when she talks with her friend she's still rolling her eyes.
Maci: I think she's moving to Nashville for the wrong reason. I'm glad she found Kyle, but to move her and Bentley away from not only her parents (who I'm thinking help her out a lot with childcare) but also Ryan and his parents isn't too cool. I think she's in for a reality check when she only knows Kyle in Nashville...no family or friends.
Catelynn: I feel so sorry for her little brother. That poor kid hasn't done anything wrong and he has to be raised by a drug-addict mother and a dad who is in and out of jail and/or rehab. Does anyone else find it a little disturbing that both Catelynn AND Tyler are his half-brother and half-sister? Hm. And poor Catelynn for having to deal with her mom who is just a terrible, awful person.
Amber: Ugh. I really wanted to just turn off the episode when she started being so rude to Gary in front of those dance instructor people. I'm so tired of the "Get your shiit and get out" drama. It happens in every episode! I did find it amusing that Gary took the TV and the sheets, but like pp said, it just shows how immature they are. Gary isn't Dad of the Year by any means, but I did feel a little sorry for him when he was talking with his mom and he said he felt bad leaving Leah there with Amber, because "she doesn't know how to be a parent". Amber is such a drama queen -- she kept interrupting her friend so she could go on and on about how she "doesn't want to settle". Ugh.
I imagine open adoptions are really hard for everyone involved. For the adoptive parents, they probably never really feel like they can live their own life because the bio parents will always be in the picture in some way. And for C&T, they can't ever get full closure on the situation. I do think it's nice they can see pictures of Carly and exchange emails, and I think it's appropriate that they don't know her last name or where she lives.
I just wonder what will happen when Carly is older. I imagine Brandon and Teresa will tell her she's adopted at some point in her life, and then she might see C&T as her "parents" in some way, shape or form. That would be really difficult and confusing.
I was thinking the same thing and I wonder if the show will make it more confusing since I assume she will see it one day. I know someone who gave up a baby and when the child was 18 she had the right to find him, which she did. They now have a relationship and he is married with kids. She calls his kids her grandkids and it breaks my heart for his adoptive parents. After all they raised him his children are their grandchildren too. If I were the adoptive parents I would be hurt. They okay with the relationship but how are they suppose to act if they are against it they could push their only son away.
I agree that hte open adoption is making it harder on everyone...did you notice that on the phone theresa called caitlynn and tyler by their first names, so maybe that is how they talk to carly about them...I feel like its icing a wound by keeping up with her though it sounds like a good idea in theory!
Agreed so much about the little brother.....social services should be in there taking a look at his situation....who has him when caitlynns mom is out with her.......
amber looks good, but at what expense...when did she have time to do all that working out (I heard she lost 60lbs) and worked out 2 hours a day.....
Farrah was such a brat to her parents, I wanted to smack her. They were trying to be nice to her. They may have their issues, but they were trying to give her a nice birthday. She's only interesting in the free babysitting, but not in acting any more mature than a 6-yr-old toward her parents.
Why was Catelynn's mom going to Vegas? How does she even have money for Vegas? Did I miss something? I would imagine every spare penny she might have would go to meth.
I agree with MrsKeith2B that Maci is moving for the wrong reasons. Sure, her and Kyle are happy right now, but they're still young. They could easily break up in a week, and then she's gone and uprooted her whole life, as well as her son's, for nothing.
I cannot even begin to deal with Amber and Gary. Amber just fails at life. I hope that when they eventually break up, that Gary ends up with Leah. He sucks, but he's still 7,000 times better than Amber. All Amber does is whine adn complain about how annoying Leah is and how she needs to just shut up. Um, she'd probably shut up if you'd pick her up for 2 seconds or pay the tiniest bit of attention to her, OTHER than screaming at her to STFU. She's just straightening her hair, like, "Ugh, Leah, SHUT UP! You're so annoying!" Um, put down the hair iron and take care of your daughter. Priorities, please.
Catelynn- I do actually feel bad for Carly's parents (Brandon and Theresa) but from what I understood from the first 16 and pregnant episode the adoption was only a partial adoption and after Carly turned a year old the amount of contact dropped drastically. I could never imagine having to give up my LO and I know I would still consider her to be my daughter but they really need to come to a place where they realize that they are not Carly's parents. They made a very hard choice and I have great respect and compassion for them but they are not Carly's parents.
Also, I don't think her brother is Butch's son. When they first showed him I remember Catelynn saying that her brother had been living with his dad for a while. It could have been one of April or Butch's dads but I thought Catelynn said it was the boys dad. They also only refer to him as Catelynn's brother and never Tyler and Catelynn's brother.
Farrah- I didn't understand what was with the attitude problem when the car broke down. His car BROKE DOWN. What was he suppose to do? She has such a terrible attitude.
Amber- Amber has some serious depression and anger issues that need to be dealt with ASAP. Gary is a terd but he needs to take Leah and demand that Amber get some help. I couldn't believe that she kicked him out and then looked and Leah and said "Daddy is leaving you again." WTF!? They way she talks to Leah is way out of line and that baby doesn't deserve to be treated so poorly.
Maci- The only reason Ryan wants more time with Bentley is because his parents want more time with Bentley. Ryan's parents pay his child support and they take care of him. I don't see a problem with Maci moving. She isn't moving across the country and she shouldn't have to put her life and dreams on hold because she had a baby with a POS. Ryan doesn't have a job, he could easily make the trip up there to see Bentley whenever he wanted to.
Oh, but don't you know the world revolves around her? It doesn't matter that her dad's car broke down, and what a PITA that must be in HIS life. It only matters how his car breaking down affects Farrah's life. That's the only thing's important. Ugh. Like serious, you little brat, he obviously didn't WANT his car to break down and plan on it just to ruin your life.
I agree, that would hurt. But, isn't that something you know is a possibility going into an adoption, open or closed? With a closed adoption, the situation might just be postponed.
I believe when they were on 16 and pregnant they said they were dating before Butch and Catelynn's mom got together.
I don't think it takes away from Carly's adoptive parents at all! Catelyn and Tyler are documenting what's it like for them to give up Carly. The fact is that Brandon and Theresa are with her day in and day out. They are her parents and I think that's obvious to everyone involved.
I think open adoptions are great IF that's what both parties involved want and by Brandon and Therea's on admission it's not what they watned. I'm also sure they weren't expecting to have the expereince documented on MTV. Whereas other adoptive parnets don't have to be faced with the struggles that their child's biological parents are going through Brandon and Theresa do and that's got to be hard on them to know that the joy they feel with Carly on a daily basis is causing someone else pain. People who love Carly just as much as they do!
All of this...
