16 and pregnant today

LitlSara · July 2009

I'm watching last night's episode and it has to be the worst one yet. The girl and her mother are pregnant at the same time and have to be the trashiest family I've ever seen. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but seriously. The house is filthy and the girl is the biggest baby ever. Condoms people!

I just saw that as well. Wow, she was such a cry baby about everything!! She didn't even want to cook when she was hungry!! And that poor guy he got up every time the baby cried and was so good. She didn't do anything!! And yes that was trashy. I kept thinking they should be on Jerry Springer!

I watched that episode last night and I agree that the house was filthy but look how many people were living there! I do feel bad for the girl though...how awkward would it be to be pregnant and due just weeks after your mother. Although the one thing I have to say that was better about this episode than any other is that they boyfriend was GREAT to her and the baby! You could tell her actually cared about her rather than the other episodes where they were together only because of the baby.

I agree with you. I came from a family that didn't have much money, but we always had a clean house. There is no reason for a house to look like that. No, my house is not always all picked up, but I have two toddlers and their toys get scattered through the day. I don't have a bunch of junk just sitting around all over the place! That place was gross! This is the first episode where I've seen the baby's dad that involved. He seemed more involved than the 16 year old girl! She was a baby about every little thing.

I just watched that show for the first time last night. Sick sick people! I know my husband and I aren't perfect, but we look like parents of the year next to those weirdos!

And here I was thinking it was one of the better episodes, because she clearly had a supportive family that was struggling and trying to help each other and I loved that her boyfriend was clearly the most involved yet. He actually looked like he liked her and wanted the child. He was the only one I've seen voluntarily care for the baby to help her out when she was in so much pain, without being asked/begged/ordered to do it.

The girl wasn't my favorite person - she was very young and not terrifically prepared to be a mom, but she seemed to take it seriously and seemed to learn how to help out with her brother so he'd have some experience and had a plan for how to help get her life back on track (GED, trade school/college) with a decent career opportunity.

Sure, they were backwoods/hillbilly/whatever, and yes, the house was a mess - but so is mine. Our apartment looked much like their house before we moved because we simply had no more room to put anything - they had 5 adults and 2 babies crammed into what was essentially a 2 bedroom trailor.

Editing to add - perhaps it's just me and perhaps it's just because we live in a very cluttered environment, but clutter doesn't always equal filth. I noticed that the kitchen was clean, the bathroom appeared the clean, the dishes were regularly washed and they picked up dog poop. Cluttered, bursting at the seams, but I wouldn't consider that filthy.

I missed that episode last night, but I am sure they will replay it at some point. I find it to be an oddly addicting show.

Dang! I tvo'd it last night and I planned on watching it when I got home. I can't decide if the show is glorifying or horrifying teen pregnancy. The first chick, "Amber" was annoying and a brat. "Ebony" wasn't so bad though, but I feel like they need to show the beginning a little more, and maybe more with the parents etc.

I fell asleep during this last night Sad

I found it a little on the trashy side myself. The mother/daughter pregnancy was a little odd to me...I need to try and catch it again to watch the whole thing.

I hope they show a repeat of it soon.....my sister was telling me she saw the previews for that episode, I really wanted to see it!

Mrs. Erin · July 2009

I DVR'd it...... can't wait to get home and watch it!

That show is so addicting!

I was dismayed that the huge happy ending of the episode was them moving into the other mother's house. It's going to be a long time before those two can support themselves like grown ups. What makes these kids so young think they can start families!?

I'm all for more sex ed in schools!! And even more at home!!!?

KatiKM · July 2009

I was just wondering if we were going to talk about this! I totally agree that she is the biggest baby of all time. I can't beleive that anyone I know would accept to take my Grandma's room in HER house so I can sleep with my baby daddy!

I will say one thing, he did seem like the best father out of the episodes so far. No buying playstations, or going out partying.

But yes...Condoms people Condoms!

mwalliser · July 2009

Yeah that episode was horribly terrific... she was a big baby about the entire thing, and just seemed to whine about anything she could think of. Her BF was wonderful and that was really good to see. I kinda feel bad for him because he'll end up taking care of both the baby and his gf.

As far as her... "I'll drop out of school because I'm afraid of everyone making fun of me" thing... that's total BS. I don't care that she said she was going to take the GED... she completely flaked on even trying to study for it while she had the time before the baby came.

I saw that one last night. I felt bad for the babie's father, he has to do everything. What a mess...
