16 & Pregnant 4/10
Didn't see a thread for this started already, but what did you think?
I understand that Lindsey wanted her bf to find a job but it kind of got annoying how many times she brought it up to him. Even after his mom said he needed to focus on school and the baby and not throw a job in the mix. Did anyone else notice that Lindsey's mom's house was an apartment and then a single family home and the editing kept switching back and forth between the two?

Re: 16 & Pregnant 4/10
The house/apartment was her house and her bf's house.
As per her bf getting a job, hell yes I would keep saying something about it. It takes 2 to tango and make a child. He is responsible for the well being of that child. She was pregnant and still working long hours to save money and buy the baby things. The bf's mom needs to stop treating him like a baby and make him man up to his issues and get them taken care of. When you have a child they come FIRST!
Oh please. That child is also his, so why should she be the only one working for the baby's needs? And wasn't she going to school as well? So why does he get a pass and she doesn't?
He's lucky she just didn't slap him with a child support suit instead.
His mom made me really mad. It's okay for the girl to take care of the baby, work, and go to school but not for him? I don't think so. If she doesn't want her precious son to get a job while he's still in school then I'd be asking her to fork over the money that he could be making from having a job. Plenty of people have kids while going to school and working so it can be done.
I thought the girl was really bratty to her mom though and that made me not like her.
I don't think she was being annoying about the job at all. He SHOULD have a job. What would have been annoying is if she had not said anything about it at all ever
Why do 99% of these guys have no desire to work? I understand they are young teenagers but I actually wanted to work when I was a teen so that I could have money and not have to mooch of my parents. I would think having a child to take care of would light that fire but apparently not.
I was extremely annoyed at the BF! I understand that he wants to wait until after school but at least he could bring home something!
I felt horrible for Lindsey when she went into labor early, all I was thinking about is that she doesn't have the crib ready, etc.
Not a very good episode in my opinion.
2012 Reading Challenge
Didn't she say at the beginning that he had wanted to terminate the pregnancy and she didn't?
If finances are already that tight, why did she have to go back to cage fighting so soon? $80/month can make a big difference.
ETA: I'm not trying to give him a free pass, I just really didn't like her and found her to be bratty and annoying.
This is exactly what I was thinking!
I don't think ANYONE was wanting him to drop out of school. Many highschoolers work part time while still attending school. Why can't he?
Fact is, it's a life lesson. If you are willing to take the chances, you must face the consequences.
my read shelf:
I definitely did not think he should have dropped out to work. I don't think anyone here meant that. But it is possible to go to school and work. People do it all the time. When you make the decision to have a child, I think you should be expected to at least work part time and contribute in some way.
