16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom Thread - Sad but true...we r hooked!

[The Princess]

We watch the show here too and love it.
Here's my feelings about it:
Love Tyler and Caitlyn they are very mature. I hope they do end up getting married someday and having a family.
Gary and Amber they were cute last night but don't think they will stay together
Farrah a spoiled brat!!!!
Maci and Ryan glad she dropped that piece of crap. She can do so much better than him. She is a great mom and doesn't need him.

I hope they keep us updated on these 4 moms. I would like to know what goes on with them.

On another board I am on, someone lives near Gary and Amber. Amber is pregnant again according to them and from what I remember she should be due soon. This was in octoberish we were hearing all about them and how some in the town couldn't believe it. People who know them think Amber has PPD.

I've looked on several sites online and they've all said the show was taped shortly before Farrah's mom was arrested, which was mid-January. Plus, Carly's adoptive parents gave Catelynn and Tyler pictures from this past Christmas, which means the show had to have been taped after Christmas. If Amber is pregnant and due soon, it would have been very obvious on the show.

But the reunion was filmed in end of dec/january (they had christmas updates from carly). So if people were finding out in october she was pregnant, then she would have definitely known by the time of the reunion.

From what I gather, it is cut and pieced. Like when they read the letter from the couple who adopted the baby and it said congratulations on the engagment before they showed the engagement.

Reunion show was taped January 8th. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1628727/20091222/story.jhtml

Also, apparently Amber stated on Facebook last Wednesday she was not pregnant.

Maci, glad she dropped Ryan. Bentley will one day come to him and tell him what a _____ he is. Ryan was saying about how much his mom loves him, I think that they helped Ryan be so self centered. Then his dad was trying to get him on the right path, but it was too late.

Amber-Yes, I am sure that things changed, more like, Gary wanted to be a family so bad-and he did some stupid things as well-but I think she bosses him and he is just taking it. Amber is a spoiled little brat. He gave her all the furniture he had when she moved? I could understand the baby's things, but let her sleep on the floor.

Farrah, Farrah, Farrah-sorry when you play adult games that result in a pregnancy, you give up teenage life. Stop trying to get some wang a dang, wang a dang is what got you into trouble. Her parents were just a little too nice about watching Sophia all the time, they enabled that for her to act like that.

Catelynn and Tyler-so adorable. Wonder if they were stepbrother and sister before she got pregnant or Butch and her mom married after that. But when she had Carly and Tyler was tellng her they could do it, I just balled my eyes out. How many teenage boys would say that?

I think Amber and Farrah are two of the worst individual's I've ever seen on TV. Farrah is a selfish brat and Amber is just abusive toward Gary, IMO. I understand that Gary is immature and has had to go through the process of growing up really fast, but Amber is just so mean to him & walks all over him. I do have to say that I think Leah is the cutest baby!!

I love Maci-I think she is an incredible mom. She let Ryan treat her like crap, but I think that's just her age. I'm surprised that the audience did not rip Ryan apart though...

Catelynn & Tyler are so cute! I agree with the PP who said that they did not understand what an open adoption is. The adoptive parents do not seem so willing to share Carly with Catelynn & Tyler...they seemed much more willing in the beginning.

When does the new season start with the new 16 and pregnant girls?

I believe the new season starts Feb. 16

Next week is never before seen footage of the current girls.

The only ones I see with half a brain are Caitlyn and Tyler. Yes, her parents are crazy. I was glad she was able to move in with Tyler.
They knew they were too young to care for a child and wanted to give her a better life.
They are the only couple still together because they don't have the pressures of being a parent - nevermind an unwed teen parent.

I like Caitlyn and Tyler too!

I know I am going to be even more unpopular for stating this, but even though I like Catelynn and Tyler, I think they are getting way too much credit for being responsible. Sure, they were mature but then again they were not caught fighting over their baby or having really bad relationship troubles. The cameras captured the other moms at a very hard time and so it is easy to place negativity on them yet let's remember, Catelynn is not really dealing with the problems that the other girls were facing. I am not saying she is not a mother but then again her experience is a lot different then the other girls so it is easy to compliment her for her choices but then again she wasn't dealing with the crap the other girls were.

That being said, I notice a lot of negativity about Amber, but she obviously was not taught the coping skills that Maci was taught. However, despite her limitations, Amber did get a job and her own place because she knew her relationship with Gary was not good for the baby. That is better then some moms I know who have allowed themselves to be in a bad relationship because they want to stay together for the baby. Amber did act spoiled at first, but then again she managed to step up in the end and give her some more maturity and she will be fine. It is good she just didn't jump into a relationship back with Gary but took some time to think things out.

Maci's Ryan and Farrah seem to have a lot in common in the fact that they are not really there for their babies. Farrah, to be fair, although she was not responsible at first, she did show signs of maturity in the last few episodes. Ryan, however, didn't learn a thing and I am glad Macy kicked him to the curb.

I wonder what these "kids" get paid per episode? Does anyone here know??

 

[KAMLEM]

And Farrah. Recently I've been wanting to defend her after hearing about the fight with her mother, but she proved last night how defensive and bratty she still is (even though this was taped prior to the fight). And if the rumors are true about what the fight was really about, then she's a freakin' hot mess.

What was the fight about?

 

[Gabes_mommy]

I don't know, but I sincerely hope they get paid well. MTV is making plenty of money off of them.

I loved the reunion! Amber still has issues, but I think she's getting better. Leah is so cute!!

Ryan is such a pathetic excuse for a man. I don't see him having any future with Bentley. My DH's mother had him at 19 and his father left a year later and they have zero relationship. It's totally his father's loss because my DH is an amazing man.

I love Catelynn and Tyler. They are such sweet kids. I believe they will get married and be together forever. Some people just find their soul mates early in life.

Farrah is still clueless and spoiled. I can't believe she could watch the whole season and not see the truth about herself. Can you say denial?

I kinda of get the feeling they don't get a lot because Amber and Maci were both struggling with money. Maci said several times she hated to get money from her and Ryan parents

 

[sparklynails23]

Ryan is not a good dad, but he is a very good looking teenager. I'm sure he's getting more chicks than he knows what to do with after being on MTV. He doesn't seem very mature, but maybe one day he will wake up.

What is apparent to me, none of those teenagers should have kept those babies. They would all have been better off in adoptive homes.

i wondered the same thing when amber said she has to depend on public assistance. they should be getting plenty......

 

[AKL_Megs]

As for what they get paid, I would be willing to bet that any money they get is in the form of a trust fund for their child. For college or something.

 

[WhateverLolaWants]

What was the fight about?

I heard before the fight that she was pregnant again, and after the fight apparently the rumor mill where she lives claimed she terminated that pregnancy. Take it all with a grain of salt, but with her (very religious) mother's strong reaction it does sort of make sense.

i realize that the adoptive parents of carly really were probably only doing the semi open adoption to make sure that tyler and catelynn didn't back out, but i bet they're really regretting it now. i really don't think they understood the idea of the open adoption, and thought that they would get to see carly all the time, and play with her, but not "raise" her you know? but thats completely not what it is. carly is not their child any more. i hope they realize that eventually.

I completely agree - I know Catelynn and Tyler were really wanting to know their last name and where they live, and it got me thinking they would just show up at their house or something. I think they got a lot of "limelight" from this show and maybe now feel more pressure to want back in to Carly's life when in actuality things would have been a lot different (harder) had they kept her in that awful situation they have as a homelife, thank goodness for Tyler's mom, at least she seems halfway normal.
