Want to talk about 16 & Pregnant?

What a hot mess.  I felt so bad for Kayla this week.  Her mom was a total psycho, well, an emotionless total psycho, who made me yell at the TV everytime she said, "I tried."  Um, NO.  You did not try.  I felt like she was totally selfish and should have been there for her daughter.  And the $300 per month rent was ridiculous.  Your daughter's 17 year old boyfriend is taking better care of her than you ever could, you should be paying him to do your job.

I really hope that Kayla and her BF stay together, I can't imagine what would happen to her if he walked out on her too. And I hope she was able to figure out the school thing... well I doubt it, but hopefully she at least got her GED.

And I was wondering throughout the whole episode why they didn't try to get any kind of government assistance?  I feel like they were genuinely trying to improve their lives after their son was born and doing it all alone.

What a shame.

    I totally agree. I HATED her mother. Seemed like a POS to me. Who leaves their 17 YO daughter to struggle like that, especially when she's making all the right decisions regarding the baby's post partum welfare and trying to graduate high school and everything. Ugh. I hate selfish mothers like that.

    Her mother was a giant loser. I loved the part where her mother asked if Kayla wanted to diet with her. Clearly, Kayla was the expert on dieting, giving where her problems landed her. What an idiot. I felt very sorry for Kayla and Mike because they seemed like nice kids and I though Mike was doing a great job. I think he is one of the only boyfriends this season who stuck around and actually cared.

    Ugh, the dieting part was close to the worst!  I loved when they were with the dietician and she suggested eating together as a family.  Then her mom said it's better when Kayla eats by herself because then she won't be embarassed. Um yeah, you know it's just because she would rather be banging her boyfriend than having dinner with her daughter.

    I'm being so foul today!  Can you tell I just read www.imbringingbloggingback.com ? I Heart it, even though it is so bad.  I do.

    Oh that mom...I literally wanted to throat punch her. I can't believe she charged them $300/month forcing her own daughter to drop out of school. Such a worthless POS. I just hope the parents can make it work.

    That women needs some help!  I also wanted to throw something at the tv.  Asking her daughter to go on a diet!  She barely gained any weight when she was pregnant!  CRAZY LADY!  And the 300 bucks for rent...R U KIDDING.  That forced her daughter to drop out of high school.  Maybe she wanted her daughter to be just like her.  Not get ahead.  Hopefully she can do what she needs to do to get better!  I'm lame but I can't wait for the reunion show to see how she is doing now!

    You took the words out of my mouth.  I wanted to throat punch her as well.  When the heat stopped working and they had to go to a hotel and she couldn't get a hold of her mom I about lost it.  The dieting thing was over the top, too.  I am glad her boyfriend was more mature than your typical teenage boy and seemed to be a good support system for her.

    Seriously, one of the most fascinating things I read recently about poverty is that in families where poverty seems cyclical, parents surveyed said that if their children ended up with lives similar to theirs, they would be satisfied. In other words, the assumption is that parents always want better for their children, but in some families where cyclical poverty is taking place, that assumption is not correct. I wonder if that's how Kayla's mom was. 

    It is so sad. I hope they got out and got a place of their own-- housing assistance, welfare, food stamps-- anything to get out of there.

    In the aftershow, she said they broke up and he moved out, but he is still really involved.
