Teen Mom 2 (spoilers)
Anyone watching this season? I am!
I must say this show (vs. Teen Mom) is a little more interesting to watch. Maybe because in Teen Mom, Amber was such a train wreck.
I feel bad for Kailyn. She has nowhere to go (I missed her episode of 16 and pregnant) and her now ex-BF Jo is a total D-bag. He doesn't want to talk to her at all until his parents find out she's dating again and then he's got all kinds of things to say to her. I didn't like that it seemed she was being ganged up on by Jo, his Dad and Mom. They seem to want it to be an "all or nothing" situation with her, and I don't agree with that. If they want Jo and her to be together, they need to kick their son in the butt.
I also feel for Leah. Raising twins is no easy feat, but to do it while 16, a single mom and now one of them has health problems? Wow. I also can't believe Corey wasn't there for his daughter at her doctor's appointment. Had that been my child, I would've done everything and anything to be there, especially when something so significant could be wrong.
Chelsea is kind of annoying, but in a naive way. Maybe it's because I've been in her situation before with the ex boyfriend and only missing him when I'm lonely.
Jenelle - don't get me started. I have opinions about her AND her mother. But that's a whole 'nother post in itself.
So WDYT about this season?
Re: Teen Mom 2 (spoilers)
I'm watching!
I also feel bad for Kailyn. Jo is treating her so badly... and his parents have blinders on. They ganged up on her last night and Jo wants to act like he's the one being treated badly?? I hope she finds away to live on her own with the baby and move on with her life.
I feel bad for Leah. I also think she needs to realize what she did to her bf was no little thing and needs to respect his need for space and not wanting to get back with her. He is doing a good job on his part. She messed up and needs to come to terms with what she did. I really hope the baby is okay (I dont remember if its ALI or Aleeha who needs the MRI)
Chelsea. urgh. She's doing okay, except for when she starts whining about missing her Ex. I'm totally with her roommate on the issue and hope she listens to her.
Jenelle - don't get me started. GRRRRRRR. She wants custody of her child...but is okay with being away for 2 weeks !!! and still doesnt understand why her mom is so angry??!!! She needs to grow up...YESTERDAY.
I've only seen one episode so far. I really don't understand Janelle's mom, or maybe it's the editing. It seems like there were many times that Janelle tries to feed/diaper/play with her kid, but her mom takes him away and won't let her do it, and then the mom gets mad that Janelle doesn't do those things. Then she won't let her see him and gets mad that she doesn't see him. She's so passive aggressive. I was left completely baffled.
Jo seems like he's got some major insecurities and control issues. I haven't seen this week's episode, but if Kaitlyn thinks she can date someone else while living at her baby daddy's house, she's a total idiot. Likewise, Leah is an idiot. Her on-camera "apology" last week was so meek that without the over-dubbed dialog, I doubt I would have know that's what she was trying to do. And the anniversary cake, omg, poor Corey.
At least Chelsea has a decent parent.

I'm watching--
I disagree with PP about Kailyn. I watched her 16 and pregnant episode where his parents stood up for her through all of his awful self--and also kicked him out his room because he didn't deserve it and let Kailyn stay there. They have been incredible understanding and sympathetic. Kailyn is very young and naive, and I don't blame Jo's parents for not wanting her staying there if she is dating another guy. I think they were allowing her to stay there in hopes that Jo and her would get back together--or at least not allow it to be so easy to just walk away. If I were his parents I would be wary of another pregnancy with this new guy, and also the reality that my son and her will not be getting back together... I can't say I would do something differently... I have to say she was kind of stupid (or short sighted) to think that she could date someone else yet live with baby daddy parents.
I am hopeful that things will go better for Leah, even with the added stress. People come together during difficult times, and maybe this will bring her and Cory together. She is so sweet... I feel bad for her.
Chelsea has no idea how good she has got it... her daddy spoils her rotten, and I think he is probably doing her a disservice. Buying her a house to live in if she studies? She isn't studying... is he going to take it away? I think she should be at home studying and having daddy help her watch her baby and keep her grounded. I think she will have a future though. I come from a town with a high teen pregnancy, and some of the moms of girls my age who were young and pg remind me a lot of her...
Jenelle is a train wreck. But I think I dislike her mom more than I dislike her. First, her mom is barely understandable and has weird expectations that no one can meet. Do this... no I'll re do it. Jenelle has to grow up, but I know a lot of moms worse than she is... in the first episode the fact that she waited for her son to go to bed before she went out to friends house was huge. She is trying to balance youth and motherhood and it isn't easy, nor is maybe possible. She needs to calm it down a bit, but I don't think her mom is appropriate in basically stealing her child. Because that is what she is doing. There are far too many people that need custody taken away... this isn't necessarily one of them...
I am watching too! I had to wait to read this thread until I got caught up.
Kailyn- I actually agree with the parents of Jo too. Although, they did gang up on her...but, she needs to focus on school and being a mom. Why are you dating someone new after three weeks of being single?!?! And, telling the father of her child through Facebook!!!! Oh my, I worry about that generation!
Chelsea- She is kind of boring. I totally agree about how spoiled she is.
Jenelle- Trainwreck....I cannot stop watching though!
Leah- I seriously was crying when she noticed the issues with her baby. I really like her baby daddy too!
Side note...dating someone for one month, get pregnant with twins!!!! WOW!!!
