So who's watching 16 & pregnant this season? ETA: spoiler

ghm

I felt so bad for the girl last night. The boyfriend was actually a good guy and the girl's mom was awful. The demanding rent, telling her daughter to go back to bed when her water broke, suggesting they diet together...these kids were actually trying to do the right thing and the mom is making it impossible. It seemed she wanted to punish her daughter.

. I was fuming the whole episode (not unusual, I'm usually fuming about the guy, but this was way worse IMO).

I wanted to reach through my TV and slap that b!tch. Seriously. I was so annoyed at how she spoke- all fakey calm and fake supportive when she clearly didn't actually give a sh!t at all.

Me too, that poor girl, I felt horrible when her water broke and her mom didn't even believe her. The boyfriend really shocked me, I have to admit though I was totally waiting for him to do something jerky and when the show ended and he was still a great guy my jaw almost hit the floor!

I know. I haven't seen a boyfriend on there probably since Caitlyn (first season, what was his name?) that was decent.

that b*tch made me so mad.  I wanted to see if that girl wanted to come live with us.  FFS, she was basically taking food and diapers from the baby.  It's like she saw her daughter being pregnant as a meal ticket for herself.

Look at it this way - before daughter gets pregnant, mom is supporting daughter & paying all the bills.  Daughter gets pregnant, lets boyfriend move in, and boyfriend is now supporting daughter (that's what they said at least during the rent discussion).  So there's a money positive for the mother.  One more person living in the house - slight negative as far as bills (water usage, etc.).  Baby is born, boyfriend is supporting him, too.  Then mother asks for $300 in rent.  She's MAKING MONEY and is BETTER OFF than she was before her daughter got pregnant.  It's so f*cked up, I can barely wrap my head around it.

And the ED stuff was just disgusting.  Asking your daughter, who clearly has eating issues, to help you diet?  OMFG.  

That mother was seriously horrendous.  I think that was the most depressing episode of 16&PG that I've seen.  Even Jeff was horrified.

eclaires, I said the same thing--I wanted to just move them here with me. Here was a young couple/parents that actually seemed to have it together a little...and the mom wanted to basically destroy it.

AND, I'm pm'ing your super sleuthing self

ITA with everyone...that girl's mom was HORRIBLE!!  Maybe she was jealous because her daughter had such a loving and supportive boyfriend?

I watched the after show online and was sad to find out that she broke up with her boyfriend...they still get along though so things are good for the baby.  But she said she broke up with him because she wasn't in love with him like she was before the baby.   I just wish someone could have told her that this happens in every relationship after a baby comes and you just have to work a little harder to fall back in love...instead she dumped a really great guy

I think this was one of the most heartbreaking.  That mom/grandma was cold.

I agree with what everyone else said. How old do you think she was? She apparently was a teen mom too, so that would make her in her mid 30s right? She looked much older-like mid 40s. What an old hag. The girl had such a good head on her shoulders and seemed much smarter than her mom. She was right on the money saying, how dysfunctional they were. I hope she does ok. She seemed to have sweet, supportive friends.

I was horrified that the mother charged them rent.  Especially since it meant her daughter wouldn't graduate.  So, for an extra $300 a month, she basically screwed any chance her daughter would have at having a high school diploma.  She totally gets MOTY award.  What a ***.  Not to mention the other horrible things she did to her daughter, not being there, asking her to help her diet.  Makes my blood boil.
