Teen Mom

Ok. Is anybody else out there as irritated at Kyle as I am. Yes we all saw it comming a mile away BUT she asked him, on several different occasions too I might add, if he was ready for this. His response every stinkin time was YES. I do not think that if he would have said just one time 'I think this may be going a little to fast for me' would Maci have moved. Vent over.

I am! I felt bad for Maci. And wasn't he, a few episodes back, the one egging her on to tell her dad she was moving? I feel like he lured her out there with false promises and then got tired of her and "family life" real quick. I'm not saying she's blameless, she didn't have to go and should have thought it through more, but still...

Farrah's mom irritated me too when Farrah told her that she was going to be getting together with Cassie maybe once a month to visit and catch up. Her mom said something like, "Well, you really don't have a lot of time..." If I was Farrah I'd have said, "Well, it's really none of your business!"

Amber's new man skeeves me out... :scared1: And why does Gary have to always tell the flower shop employees his business??? That's like the second time he's done that! LOL

I'm so happy for Catelynn and Tyler that they get to see Carly next episode. And does April drive a BMW???
 
What I love about Tyler and Cailyn being ont he show, is that it shows teens that even though you have given a child up for adoption, you have not taken "the easy way out" and how hard it may be to adjust afterwards. Even though Tyler and Caitlyn don't have a baby to raise, they are still parents and they take their role very seriously. They want to be involved in Carly's life as much as they can, and want to share with her in the future. They also serve as a role model to Carly, as what not to do when she gets older and how even though giving a child up for adoption seems easy, it is a difficult choice to make and live with. Even though Carly is in a good home, who knows what her life will be like 14/15 years down the road.

And I love Tyler to pieces. He has his moments of immaturity (due to age) but since they appeared on 16 and Pregnant, he has been a stand-up guy. Do I consider the anger he went through over Caitlyn talking to her ex to be bad, no. If you have watched him evolve, he had difficulty at first identifying and speakign what he was feeling. This season, I have seen growth in Tyler expressing his emotions.

Also Caitlyn and Tyler could have easily gone through the pregnancy and once they gave Carly up for adoption, they could have broken up or else Tyler could have felt "Yay! I'm off the hook." but instead he and Caitlyn seem in it for the long haul, and he tries to stay involved in his daughter's life. Tyler is a role model for teen guys everywhere as to how to act and be. I think it is important for the show to display a responsible teen dad's perspective (even though Tyler doesn't have a child to raise).

I don't find Tyler responsible at all. He doesn't have a job (at least that they've shown) he isn't graduating from HS. Lately their story line is either Caitlyns Mom & Butch or they are laying on the bed talking about Carly.

My opinion is if they wanted to be a positive storyline, they would have jobs, graduate and get on w/ their lives so they didn't turn out like their parents (Tlery's mom the exception) .

I don't find him to e a role model.

Technically he does have a job, he's getting paid by MTV for taping! :thumbsup2 That's a pretty sweet job for a 17yr old.
He does annoy me and seem immature but I think he, Catelyn and her mother and his father, that whole situation is just sad. I think is is good that they are on the show cause it does show the struggles that come with adoption.

Are we really believing Maci and Kyle are over? I mean aren't they on every magazine cover holding eachother and talking marriage??
 
Oy vey.

Farrah--glad she's connecting with Derrick's sister. At least Sofia will have her aunt in the picture. Her mom drives me batty, though. Not allowed to grieve over the loss of her baby's father? Ugh.

Maci--oohh, Maci. First of all, I can't believe Ryan said "do you wanna get back together?". Don't think she'd be naive enough to go back to him, after all he put her through. Looks like they go to some sort of mediator next week over Bentley.

Amber--enough of her! Creepy 'date', inattentive to her daughter...she needs to go.

Catelynn--glad she and Tyler are getting to see Carly next episode. And glad that Brandon and Theresa sought them out for a visit, not the other way around. From the pictures, Carly is the spitting image of the two of them! Hate the mother, though.
 

Did anyone hear the rumors about Maci cheating on Ryan (with Kyle) when Bentley was 4 months old? Is that true?
 
I might be wrong, but I don't think Kyle and Maci are over. They may have had that little split, but I am POSITIVE that I read they are still together and talking marriage, though I believe she has moved back home and didn't switch schools afterall.


Did anyone catch the part where Amber asked "Creepy Creeperton" what he thought of her having a little girl and he replied, " I love her" or something like that?! O.M.G. Gary, PPPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASE get that baby outta there ASAP!

I think he said "I love it", but it was still creepy.

Poor Leah. She's going to have it the worst of the 4 babies. Carly probably has it best, as she has two loving adoptive parents and two loving biological parents. Bently has it second-best; Maci is very attentive and always thinks of him before herself. As for Sofia, she could end up like grandma, or she could end up being a nice, sweet girl. We'll see.
 
When does this season end and are the same girls going to be on next season. If there is a next season?
 
Next week is the season finale. No clue if we are going to continue to follow these 4. I would like to continue following Maci.

Farrah has crazy expectations for Sofia, I think she will be very disappointed and I think she is more like her mom than she realizes. Did you see her trying to read pages she had written to Sofia? Than being upset and saying to her "oh you don't want to listen to me?" Like a 1 year old had the comprehension or interest ot listen to her mother read that to her.
 
Here's my take on Farrah, honestly, I don't think her behavior is from being spoiled, it all stems from her mom, that woman is so CONTROLLING! She is even telling her she cannot mourn over Derek!
I think the two of them are just alike, but I see this particular thing as protective. Remember that on the original show Farrah was afraid of Derek and her mom even got her a new phone number? I think she's remembering all that trouble and is trying to help Farrah move past that. Really, I agree with mom on this one: Farrah is romanticizing her life with Derek. I think she's really missing her youth, missing the ability to be carefree and independent rather than tied down to a toddler.
Yes, she said that she moved there to be close to him and they never see each other so she asked him what he wanted. And he said he feels like he went from 4 hours away to having her in his pocket. And she said she needed stability for Bentley, she couldn't have him in and out of her life b/c thats not good for him. And he said something like "I guess we gave it a good try?" and left...that was it.
Well, it makes sense: When she'd go up to visit him, he'd know she was coming and he'd have his schedule cleared. If he had to work, she wouldn't come. But when she moved, she expected that every minute would belong to her . . . in spite of the fact that he had work and other interests. I don't think either of them intended to hurt each other, but they went into it with mis-matched expectations.
Farrah? Icky. I can't tell what is fake and what is real when it comes to her.
I don't think Farrah knows what's real in her life either.
Amber, omg, her date was SO creepy :scared1: What a train wreck, that poor little girl . . . Catelynn, that girl is a thousand times more mature than her own mother.
I can't believe Amber didn't run away from that loser. Leave it to Amber to find a guy who can make Gary look good! Actually, I don't mean that: Gary's show significant improvement and maturity since the show began. Maybe he'll never be what other men are, but he's a whole lot better than he was before Leah was born.

My daughter made an interesting comment: She said Amber will be just like Catelynn's mom in a few more years. I believe it.
Has anyone noticed, they are driving similar cars. Do they have a sponsor?
Interesting question. I hadn't noticed the similarity, but I've wondered how they're supporting themselves. Hints I've caught: Amber told Gary that the apartment is HERS and she paid for everything in it (apparently cleaning it up is his department 'cause she sure doesn't do it). I've wondered how Maci could afford what looks to be a pretty expensive two-bedroom townhouse on her own -- and she's taking the summer off from work? I couldn't afford to do that when I was her age, and I didn't have a baby for whom to provide!

Didn't they say that Maci was really his first girlfriend? I suspect he didn't do this on purpose -- he is just so inexperienced in matters of the heart that he didn't expect what happened.

All the girls seem to place a pretty heavy priority on dating/finding a spouse. Of course that's normal at their age, but they need to put that on the back burner for the moment and focus on finishing their educations and taking care of their toddlers. I know I sound 100 years old, but it's true.
I don't find Tyler responsible at all. He doesn't have a job (at least that they've shown) he isn't graduating from HS. Lately their story line is either Caitlyns Mom & Butch or they are laying on the bed talking about Carly.
I think he has potential, but he could certainly be doing better for himself. How could the two of them NOT REALIZE that they were short on credits for graduation? And Catelynn told the college rep that she had all As and Bs . . . but her report card said something quite different. No, these two are not applying themselves as they should be. I'm thinking that community college is do-able for them, but it'll take much more effort than they're currently expending.

Yeah, and you know very good and well who taught her to be that way! She and mom are just alike -- they also both have a massive martyr complex going on: "Oh, you don't want to take part in this little thing I've put together for you? Oh, poor me. No one appreciates the work I've done."
 
Re: Caitlyn and Tyler
I don't get the report card or credit thing. How could they not know what they had and what was needed to graduate?
 
I was wondering how in the world Amber and Gary could afford that truck they drive around in, it looks to be fairly new, even if it is used, payments must be insane, plus to fill that baby up, insurance, etc. Still not sure how they could afford that when only 1 or neither of them are working, did we ever find out how much MTV is really paying them?

And I also thought Maci had a nice living room set and bedroom set :rolleyes1
 
I just got to watch the episode from last night.

WOW.

Amber - Holy sack of potatoes. Kissing that weirdo? Creepy... you could at least know someone's last name before lip locking, dontcha think?! I got the feeling that he knew who she was, and was trying super hard to get her to like him so that he could be on the show for whatever ulterior motive he might have (rap career, acting, notoriety, etc.). I thought he made himself sound like a child molester to be honest... but I would hope they wouldn't let one out on work release. She needs Leah taken away. What did she have her back for, 2 days before wanting to give her back to Gary so she could go out? Classy.

Maci - I felt for her. I do think she took the break up incredibly well. Her maturity amazes me. Again, most adults I know wouldn't have handled that as gently as she did. I personally thought Kyle's attitude during their chat was something you'd expect from a 15ish year old with their first girlfriend, and since she is his first girlfriend I can only assume he hasn't gotten through these types of fights yet. Whatever happens, I hope Maci and Bentley are happy. I don't think Maci made a poor decision honestly. It's an experience I think will help her become a better mother and know better for the future how to handle dating and relationships and all that. Frankly, I'm glad she at least made the mistake of moving and introducing a boyfriend with Kyle over someone like Ryan. At least Kyle clearly cared about Bentley and treated him well.

Catelyn/Tyler - Glad they'll get to see Carly. Honestly, it seems like such an odd relationship with the adoptive parents. It's completely unfamiliar territory for me, so I can't judge too much.

Farrah - I honestly tear up every time she starts crying. I'm still a little confused as to my overall opinion of her. I lost my dad at 19, and immediately found out I was pregnant after he died. While it's not the same, I know how she feels a bit about not being able to grieve (not because of my mother) because of other responsibilities and the sadness of your daughter not meeting someone you love. I have my fingers crossed that a relationship with Derrek's sister, and maybe in time his parents, will help her heal and mend.
 
Yes, he was just telling her what he thought she wanted to hear so he could get something out of her, ilk, he was so gross, and how could she even kiss him, maybe I am a prude, but I feel like she hasn't officially ended it with Gary, and personally I feel its too soon to begin dating, I think she just really needs to focus on Leah, and being a good mommy. It just annoyed me everytime when she said "as a mom...." ugh, I really do want to see how she handles everything without Gary though, b/c he is obviously the one who did the majority of the parenting.

Ewww....Amber's "date" REALLY creeped me out and made my skin crawl!

Did anyone else notice that when the date said "This is the best day of my life", Amber got this disgusted look on her face and went, in that voice of hers, "This has been the BEST day of your LIFE?". It seemed like she was thinking "Wow, it's really pathetic that this guy thinks this is the best day of his life"...
 
I just saw the cover of OK magazine and it says that Farrah is pregnant!!! Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?
 
This was the saddest epi .... :sad1:

Maci and idiot Kyle, sad.

Farrah and her controlling Mother, sad.

Amber, Gary and the inmate, sad.

Catelynne and April, sad.

:sad1: :sad1: :sad1:
 
Amber~ She is such a piece of work. She picked up a guy at Walmart and then goes out with him to find out he has been/is (not sure) in jail and does a work-release, creepy. He gave me the creeps. Gary needs to get Leah and keep her away from the crazy men her mother is going to pick up.

Maci~ I felt so bad that she and Kyle broke up but I saw it coming as soon as she moved there. He was not ready to have Maci and Bentley near him all the time.

Catelynn~ I am glad that she and Tyler are getting to go and see Carly. i think it will be good for them and keep them on thei path to graduate and go to college. I just hope that Catelynn can get out of her sitatuation.

Farrah~ I felt really bad for her last night. It is obvious that she is still having trouble dealing with Derek's death and her mother not allowing her to grieve is just wrong. I am happy that she was able to get Sophia her benefits and even $200 some dollars will help.



all farrah has is the dna proof of paternity to make an application for shopia's survivor benefits. unless sophia's dad worked enough quarters prior to his death she's not eligible to collect.

i thought it was interesting-farrah was telling derek's sister that when she gets the social security she's going to put it into a cd for sophia's college, but her mom (imho) was more realistic and said something about the couple of hundred a month helping to purchase diapers. despite the rocky relationship, i suspect mom/dad have to be providing some means of support-her apartment (cuz mom's extra house is still being remodeled), car expenses (insurance, gas...), and culinary school-let alone the expense of raising a child, are not something easily if even possibly accomplished on a part time pizza parlour job (and she made the comment at one point in time that her state subsidized childcare was being cut off because she of her income-so it's either mom/dad or mtv).

Why would her lawyer bother if she was not going to get any money? She had a very exact amount of $236, I don't think Farrah made that amount up. It would seem really silly if they did the last three episodes about this and she wasn't eligible. :confused3
