16 & PG from this week (poss spoilers)

i feel really bad for this girl. she obviously has a mental disease (she was anorexic) and it's so obvious the reason that she is sick. she is doing all this so her own mother will pay attention to her! i just want to shake her mother and scream at her to spend time with her own daughter!

i did get irritated that she couldn't get it together enough to eat properly while pregnant, but she does have a mental illness and doesnt seem to get any support from her mother. i feel so bad for her.

and the BS about her mom all the sudden asking for rent when she knew that they were struggling. she knew asking for the money meant the bf would have to work fulltime and prevent her daugther from finishing hs. then she asks her daughter to go on a diet with her! she's unbelievable.

Re: 16 & PG from this week (poss spoilers)

  • Im watching right now.

    I feel really bad for her also. The father is amazing and so supportive. I loved how he asked what she wanted and she said "I dont know" and he replied " then how am I supposed to feed you?" awwww

    The mother is so rediculous. The fact that she told her she would take a week off work and then the night before she was going back said "I think youll be fine" ticked me off. If you didnt intend to stay home, dont say you would. Ugh I hate liars.

    Im not sure how I feel about the eating disorder. I felt bad for her and it was scary when she thought she was going to pass out but all she had eat was Nilla Wafers? And then her friends took her out and they ate pizza. If she were that worried about weight gain she would have eaten some more healthy options.

  • Im back! UGH Im really mad about the rent situation.

    She obviously doesnt care that her daughter wont graduate if Mike works 40 hours. I hated how she requires $300 and when he says he doesnt make that much she asks him to work more? I mean I know thats how the real world is but come on. Plus if he's giving you all his money, how will they buy diapers and formula etc.

    Mother: "300"

    Daughter: "Does that include groceries?"

    Mother:"No"

    Me: Indifferent

    Mother: "Im sure you guys dont feel good about yourselves when you arent paying for anything"

     

    She reminds me a lot of my mother GRRRRR

  • eating disorders aren't about the food...it's about control. it sounds like her famliy split up (which she couldn't control) and it might have started there. she can control what she does and does not put into her body. it seems silly to someone who has never had to deal with the feelings. a lot of people also crave attention...and a lot of times, kids with mental disease can act out in a lot of different ways to get that attention. while suicide attempts shoudl ALWAYS be taken seriously, they are often not meant to kill...they are more meant to get people to notice them.

  • I didn't get to watch the whole episode, so I'll have to finish it later.

    I'm not sure what more can be said that you 2 didn't already say.

    I felt bad for her because of her mother, but at the same time I was so frustrated with her in regards to the weight gain and eating.  Watching her mother made you completely understand why this chick is in this position.  Luckily for her she's got such a great guy.

    You mean she wants to be in control of something in her life? I do this from time to time but not with food. I just get super controlling over whatever because I feel like Im at the mercy of everything else in every other situation

    I just watched and this line made me SO MAD!!! I have disliked a lot of the crazy mom's, but this one takes the cake for me. She tries to pretend like she's all supportive and she's not. 

    My blood is literally boiling right now I'm so mad at that woman. Who cancels girls night with their daughter b/c they got free tickets to a baseball game...seriously???

    GAHHH!!! I feel so bad that people actually have parents like this. I'm so glad that I can't really relate b/c my parents were awesome. I truly can't grasp how someone could suck so bad towards their own daughter!!

    Rant aside, I think I like this Teen Dad the best. He's cute and sweet. He's probably tied with Tyler.

  • **Spoiler**

    I read on the Entertainment board that the after the show interview she says her and her boyfriend broke up...that they were only together for the baby and didn't love eachother anymore.

    That girl is lucky she has such great friends and the dad was such a support but what she really needs is her mother. I cannot believe her.

  • I'm late to the party but this lady seriously wins "Worst Mother Ever" award. Her pregnant teen daughter is in labor and she can't even be bothered to get out of bed. "Oh, just lay down, I'm sure it will pass." WTF?
