16 and Pregnant: 4/24 Jordan (Spoilers)
I don't understand why Jordan's mom is not supportive of her daughter by not letting her boyfriend stay over after the baby is born..Does she expect her daughter to take care of the baby alone?
Re: 16 and Pregnant: 4/24 Jordan (Spoilers)
I couldn't believe the mother! How horrible of her to be so unsupportive, and not only unsupportive, but actually a bully to Jordan. At the shower she was saying 'I like a challenge' or something along those lines, and dangling the fact that she has to sign for Jordan to be allowed any pain meds during delivery, it was disgusting. What a horrible, horrible racist woman.
I think Jordan dropped out of highschool, didn't she say that at the end? This was a really sad episode I thought. Why didn't Tylers parents make more of an effort either? Even if Jordan and Tyler don't work out, which it doesn't seem like they will, Tyler is still the father and should still fight to see his son.
Oh, one more thing, the editing on this show makes me think a lot of it is not real. I know, reality tv is not 100% real or whatever. But, in the beginning (or was it the shower?) when Jordan was talking to her friends about her due date, she said she is due June 29th. Then when the baby was born and MTV did the sketch on the notepad, it said Chase something, born May 31st. So, um what would be the point of lying about that? Too weird
*lurker*
I could not stand this girl's mother. What a horrible manipulative woman! Towards the end when Tyler came over, her comment "this isn't a white person's home" made my stomach turn. I was disappointed in Tyler because I thought he was going to step up and be there. But I almost don't blame him. I wouldn't be comfortable there either.
I also felt bad for Tyler's parents. Jordan did kind of lead them on. They went from thinking they would see their grandson everyday to having to be invited over to the racist's house. Just sad.
I am watching it now, and she does say May 29th.
This.
I get that Tyler's parents were upset, but I can understand her wanting to be around her mom, as awful as she was since it is familiar to her. I think his parents could have handled it better and been more involved after the birth.
I feel sorry for everyone except Jordan's mom. That lady is a manipulative witch.
I feel bad for Tyler because I can understand that while that is his child, he is still a teenager and doesn't have the coping skills we do. How uncomfortable would it be for you to go into that house where you know you're really not welcome, let alone a teenager? He was just so defensive and took her going home personally against him.
I feel bad for Jordan. I don't blame her for going home because she was really torn between two worlds. She wanted to be in the comfort of her own home and knowing her mom would be there, so she believed her mom when her mom said Tyler was welcome (it was just lip service IMO).
I feel bad for Tyler's parents. They will probably never get to know their grandchild.

I feel disgusted that the mother is so racist. That baby is part white and is going to be raised in a home where he will grow up to be ashamed of that part of himself. He is going to be taught that he needs to act a certain way or else his family won't support him. It just makes sick.
Jordan completely turned into her mother at the end. He finally manned up and came over to try to talk to her, and she refused to let him even look at the baby and made him stand in the entryway while he begged to see his kid. I don't blame him for suddenly cursing at the family--he was at his wit's end. It was absolutely ridiculous that Tyler wasn't allowed to see his son anywhere except at Jordan's house. Absurd and rude as heck.

I think he would have been a great dad if he had been given the chance, but I can't say that at 16 years old I would have been very okay with walking into a house full of people that hated me (even though they said they would "allow" me in) and having that be the only place I was allowed to see my baby. They held that baby like a hostage in the house.
Jordan's mother was practically giddy when Jordan mentioned filing for custody.
This, all of it. This episode made me so RAGEY!
If you knew you were not welcome in a home, was not welcome being a father to your child, would you put yourself in the lion's den? I don't really fault him. I think she needed to see what kind of pressure and stress this was putting on him. He didn't feel welcome in that home, at all. If he would have come over, as often as the mom would have liked, he would have been under even more scrutiny!
