Who wants to talk about Teen Mom 2??
Re: Who wants to talk about Teen Mom 2??
classy
Jenelle is beyond and idiot! And I feel bad for little Jace and the face that he doesn't react, AT ALL, to Jenelle and her mom's screaming fest. Poor kid.
And Leah and Corey...they need to wait to get married (I know they are in real life now) but Corey should've really taken Leah's fears into account and just waited.
Jo is a douche. The end.
Jace is a little cutie pie and I just want to pick him up and hug him and take him away from all the drama!
I really like leah and corey and I'm pulling for them. I just think that right now they have enough to worry about with the baby's health issues.
Jo is being a jerk, but honestly, I think i might do the same thing if I had been having someone live in my house, expense free, and then start dating someone. I mean, what did Kailyn think was going to happen when he found out.
This.
I don't like Jonelle - everything is on her agenda, she's selfish, she wants to see her son whenever she wants but does not want to have any responsibility for him, I don't trust her new boyfriend and am worried she'll either end up knocked up again or he'll end up doing something horrible like steal from her, etc.
I'm happy things are working out for Leah and Corey, but they're still young and probably should be putting the wedding on hold for now given their rocky history and how much else they have on their plates right now.
I'm actually on Jo's side between him and Kailyn. She was freeloading living at his parent's house, borrowed money from him for school and still hasn't paid him back. I don't know if she ever would unless he had something he could hold from her - like her stuff. I really wanted them to work out. Since it's not, I think it's ok that Kailyn wants to date someone else, but she can't expect Jo's family to treat her the same after that. Both of them could have tried harder to make their relationship work. They need to get a custody agreement drawn up, and Jo should be paying Kailyn child support.
Oh, I always miss the beginning of good topics!
Jenelle is an idiot. How in the world are you going to steal your mothers credit cards and then deny that you did it to her face? I have no hope for Kieffer. If you spend all your time saying that you can get a job anywhere, maybe it'd be a good idea to stop saying it and oh, I don't know, actually do it? And poor Jace. He probably doesn't know the difference between talking and yelling. And its pitiful to watch him go to the screen door and look out after Jenelle and her mom fight.
Leah - I have a gut feeling something else is going on with her. I just can't figure out what.
Chelsea - thank god she broke up with Adam. I wanted to go through the screen and smack him last week. 'Oh I only cheated on you 5 times.' Uh thats a lot there dickhead. Good lord is she spoiled though. I can't imagine how much her dad had to pay for Lady Gaga tickets two days beforehand for 3 girls.
I'm also on Jo's side. Kailyn seems smart but I don't know what she was thinking dating someone else while living at Jo's. But it wouldn't hurt if Jo would get over calling her a biitch every 5 mins.
Question: So in Teen Mom 1, Maci is the 'good' mom, Farrah is the 'dumb' one and Amber is the one with issues. Is it just me or does it seem like MTV is trying to get the season 2 girls to fall into the same roles? Leah could be Maci, Kailyn as Farrah and Jenelle as Amber. Or am I just watching too much tv?
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
Yeah, I see MTV as trying to show the different "types" of teen moms. That's what brings in the viewers though i guess.
I didn't watch last night because H hates it with a passion (so I have to watch while he's away), but jesus, this season has lots of drama. I'm glad they did Teen Mom 2, and I like to see what these girls are up to.
I was so disappointed in Chelsea that she took Adam back. He is such a gigantic douche! And her dad, letting him live there? I realize he wasn't gung ho about it, and said he'd have to pay rent, but it doesn't look like there was any follow-up. I feel so bad for her that her baby is a mini-me of that tool.
I cannot believe how coldly Leah's pediatrician acted. She's obviously so scared, and doesn't understand it. He didn't even explain what kind of genetic disorder they would be looking for, which is ridiculous.
I also cannot believe how rude Jo's mother was to Kailyn and her mom, saying that Kailyn 'did him dirty.' Um, whut? He broke up with her and wanted his parents to kick her out when she had NO WHERE to go. Great father, that one. Yeah, she shouldn't have started back up in a relationship when Jo's parents warned her of their expectations should she want to still live there, but otherwise they've been jerks. I do love that Jo's brother Junior is the babysitter, though. He seems nice.
I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but last week's made me freak out.
Janelle should be kicked off the show, she is worthless. She should not be paid to be a criminal derelict.
I wish you could instill self esteem in someone, because Chelsea needs a large shot of it in both a$$ cheeks. To let that POS Adam speak to her like that and still want him around or even consider looking at him without spitting at him is beyond me. Her dad seems to have tried to instill some backbone in her, I'm not sure what went wrong there. What an awful example for her daughter.
Kail is a willfull child who has a child. I thought she couldn't live with her mom, here all along she just doesn't want to because they don't get along? So she lives with Jo's parents, who treat her really well and like a part of their family and allow her to live there even after her and Jo break up, only asking that she not date. Yet she can't even have enough respect for them to do that. No impulse control, no regard for others. I do not feel bad for her at all. Jo is a Dbag, but his parents are not.
Corey and Leah seem the most equipped to deal with their situation, but I nearly s#it a brick when she bought a wedding dress that was $1,000 before or after the 30% off, I don't care how judgemental I sound...I spent $300 on mine and I am an adult without two small babies one with major medical problems. How can she justify that?
For Kailyn, I think I remember from earlier episodes that her mom said things like, I wish you could live with me, but it won't work right now' and things like that. I think she was unemployed for a long time and maybe just living with a bf or something. I'm glad that she was able to step up, though, so that she's not homeless.
On Leah, thank you! I was thinking the same thing. And there's the incongruity of where they're getting married (and where they're living, jesus!) vs. the cost of her dress. Mine was super cheap, like $250 after waiting for a 20% off coupon from J. Crew, and I loved it. Not that I don't think anyone should get an expensive dress, I just judge that she clearly couldn't pay for it herself, and should have other priorities anyway.
Kail's mom did say things like that, but in last week's episode they mentioned none of that and instead focused on how Kail doesn't live with her because they have a history of not getting along. So I am suspicious of what the real story is there.
I don't understand why it was so hard for Kail to just focus on herself instead of a new boyfriend for a few months so she could continue to get free room and board. She has so much going on: school, working two jobs to make money to move out, and Isaac. Focus on that, not dating someone and lying about it.
I've never been the type of person to feel like I need a man, so it drives me totally insane the ridiculous decisions these girls make for guys.
Sometimes when you have that much on your plate it's nice to have something to enjoy, to make you feel good. That probably doesn't sound exactly how I mean it...and I don't know everything about the show because I mentioned before, I don't watch...but it seems like she's really trying hard to get her life together and I think she deserves a little fun.
Maybe that's just the teen mom in myself talking.
If I had someone living under my roof for free and I specifically asked them not to do something, I am sure I'd have a reason for it. To have them do it and then lie about it to my face? That is extremely disrespectful.
I think Jo's parents were really nice to allow the mother of their grandchild to live under their roof without paying room or board even though she's no longer in a relationship with their son. Having someone live with you like that is not easy at all, especially in their case - her and Jo were constantly fighting and constantly back and forth.
I don't think anything in life is fair or free, and obviously Jo's mother expected Kail to give up her dating life in order to live there because she flat out told her no dating. Those were the rules she set up as the homeowner.
You can't have it all. Jo's parents are paying extra in utilities and food, doing a lot more babysitting than an outside the home grandparent would do, and generally extending themselves a lot to help both Kail and their son and grandson out. They are sacrificing. Kail has to sacrifice some too. They didn't tell her she couldn't go out with her friends and have fun - just that she couldn't date.
She was lying to them and saying she was working when she was out with her new boyfriend, and they were watching her baby for her. That's not right.
Jo is their child. Kail is not. They have no responsibility towards her whatsoever since she broke it off with their son. I imagine it matters to the parents if she dates because their son is not happy with it and it causes unrest in their household.
If I was them, I would feel the same way. I have this girl living under my roof who is no longer with my son. I am providing her with room and board, which her own parents aren't even doing. My child does not want her in the house. I work my butt off all day and I do not want to spend all of my free time refereeing teenage drama between my child and his ex. I'm not running a free boarding house and babysitting service while she's out with her new boyfriend.
If you live in someone else's house for free, you live by their rules.
I agree that the lying is not okay. I don't agree with the rest. If Jo doesn't want to be with her, he can't complain if she's with someone else. As far as the parents, when you allow someone into your home, you also have to understand that you can't control them. It's their choice to have her there for free. They have to deal with that end of it.
I do respect your opinion, but I've had too much experience and I can't change mine.
Edit: Sorry, that sounded kinda b*tchy. I didn't mean to, I just get worked up about this stuff :-/
I've had experience with someone living under my roof on my dime, and I can't change my opinion on it either. I respect yours, but I really can't understand where you're coming from and I never will since I was not in your position. I think this girl Kailyn had a major sense of entitlement, like she could do whatever she wanted, and that's not how life goes. If you live in someone's house you have to follow their rules, and if you don't like their rules then you can go live somewhere else.
