Teen Mom

Like a PP said, I think Jenelle's mother is manipulative. I feel like she has always wanted a reason to seek custody of that child and of course Jenelle didn't help the situation. If that girl wants to change or bathe her child, why not let her do it, instead of pushing her away but still complaining about it later? I can't lie, I went out a bit when I had my first child at 19 but I was with her all day long and I left her for a couple hours with my mother when she finally went to sleep at night. I fed her, bathed her, and did everything I was supposed to do. It wasn't everyday, and I DARN sure didn't stay out until morning 'cause my mother wasn't having it. Her mother enables it and then goes overboard later when she feels like she is being taken advantage of. I would have NEVER cussed my mom out like that or put my hands on her (not just because of respect but out of fear of her...lol) but I would have been livid if she tried to take me to court for custody of my child. Jenelle's mother should have spoke to her about it and at least warned her of what she planned to do if things didn't change. She wanted to stick it to her but not in the right way at all.
 
The whole situation with the all the ppl. in the Jenelle situation, just scare the crap out of me. They're both (Jenelle and her mom) freakin crazy, and neither seem to care much about the baby. They both (especially Jenelle's mom) seem to use the baby as a tool against the other. Honestly, I think that situation is even worse than Amber/Leah/Gary from Teen Mom 1, which is horrifying. When I first saw 16 & pregnant with Jenelle, she came across as a total witch, and I wished she hadn't kept the baby. I still think she's a total witch, but I think her mom is also a total witch and I think her mom is malicious, and very manipulative. I think she tries to purposely push Jenelle's buttons, and Jenelle's just too immature to see that. I don't know what I'd do if I had a mother like that. Personally, I think Jenelle's mom is even worse than Jenelle, and I think she's pretty much scum. I feel HORRIBLE for Jace, and I wish they would've given him up for adoption, neither of them are fit to raise a child. It's really scary and soooo sad.

I hope Leah and Cory get back together too.

I don't have much to say on the Jo/boyfriend baby thing. She seems okay, lots of childhood issues, but otherwise seems okay. Not sure about him at all, and I don't really remember them from 16 & pregnant. Jo's mom seems like a total loser. I can't believe she wouldn't offer to give her child and grandchild a place to live. Thank goodness the boyfriends mom seems to care about them all. DO YOU MEAN, KAILYN? THE BOYFRIEND'S NAME IS JOE.


The other girl...she never should've moved out, and she needs some serious counseling. It looks like she does get back with that verbally abusive guy, and honestly after what he said about the baby, I really do judge her in letting him come back into her life like that. I know she lacks a lot of self-confidence, and I do feel bad for her, but there comes a point where you have to put if not yourself, your kid's best interest 1st priority, and the babies dad is a piece of crap.

Jenelle, omg, I watched her frist season, she has not changed at all. She is one piece of work. She is going to lose that baby if she does not make some serious changes in her LIFESTYLE.

Leah, I agree with others, I would like to see Corey and Leah back together.

Kailyn, what a poor lost soul. :sad1: Here she is with her baby and no place to go but the basement of her ex's house. Thank goodness the ex's mom totally supports her. And her Mother, idiot. Selfish idiot. :sad2:
 
I just watched the first episode.

Janelle - I felt bad for her, because her mother wouldn't let her take care of the baby. And while there is nothing wrong with going out... AFTER the baby is in bed... if the mother was going to be home anyways, I have a feeling she was staying out so late, she couldn't care for the baby in the morning AND THAT is a problem! When I saw all the yelling and screaming though, I wonder both about Janelle and her mother. I also found it interesting when Janelle left, she didn't try to take the baby with her :confused3 She also doesn't seem bonded to the baby like some of the others.

Kailyn - I feel bad that she has nowhere to go. What the heck is up with her mother???? There has to be more to that story. She lets her daughter borrow her car but doesn't offer her a place to live?

Chelsea - She seems to have a great support system with her parents and friends as well. She doesn't seem to be too focused on school, but does seem to want to take good care of her daughter. She kind of reminds me of Maci. However, I saw in the previews that she is getting back together with her ex.... eek. Bad decision.

Leah - I hope her and Corey get back together... But I'm confused as to how it was their 1 year anniversary. Weren't they together for 1 month, then she got pregnant, and aren't the babies like 8 months old now? That doesn't add up to a year :confused:

Looking forward to watching this season as it unfolds!!
 
I missed Jenelle's 16 and Pregnant. I agree that she doens't seem bonded to the baby.
 

I felt a little bad for Jenelle last night. I feel like her mom is trying to totally cut her out of Jace's life. I understand they have a rough relationship, but I don't think it's fair how she won't allow Jenelle to do anything or go anywhere with him. I don't know what's going on, but it was a little sad. I'm pretty sure he would've loved those fireworks.
 
Re: Jenelle

I couldn't understand why there needed to be a temporary custody order. A lot of girls who have babies just have their parents look after the baby and it is a non-formal agreement.

DH was watching with me and he said Jenelle's mother probably wanted the legal agreement so that she could use it to control Jenelle...which is what we saw later in the episode.

Is there more to this story? Because I can't figure out why the mother would not let Jenelle take the baby out on her own.

I do agree that Jenelle does not seem very connected with Jace.
 
Jenelle's mom is a controlling, manipulative witch. Honestly, the more and more I watch them...I really think Jenelle's mom is worse than Jenelle, and that says A LOT. Don't get me wrong, I think Jenelle's pretty horrible herself, and def. isn't even a decent mom, however man her mom is really showing a very mean spirited, button pushing, condescending, monster to me. Personally, I think Jace should be taken out of the home completely, as neither of them seem fit to parent him. Did you catch all the little comments Jenelle's mom made about Jenelle...honestly I felt bad for Jenelle, because really what can she do, and I totally think she was mis-lead, or at the very least not informed at all about how hard it's going to be to regain custody of Jace. Even if she gets her crap in order, she's basically going to have to prove that her mom is an unfit parent, and really what young person with no family support will have that kind of money for court. I wish she would've just put Jace up for adoption. He'd be sooo much better off.
 
This is also regarding the Jenelle/Jenelle's mom situation: There are so many adoptive families out there that would LOVE to have that little boy in their lives. Seriously, they both need to relinquish custody and give that kid a fighting chance at normalcy (like the birth parents from the 1st season.)
 
Unfortunately there is probably more to the story. When something doesn't seem right it is most likely because many of the pieces to her story are missing. No matter what, it is still a reality show which is produced and scripted.
 
I agree about Jenelle's mother.
I cannot imagine what goes on in that house between them when the cameras are not rolling.
Jenelle does not stand a chance of getting Jace back. If Jenelle does get her act together and a few years down the road is able to provide a stable environment for Jace she may be able to fight her mother for custody.

I hate to say this but from what we have seen of Jenelle and what the previews show I think that she is on a slippery slope. She has no support whatsoever and I am sure her mother will love to kick her out now that she has legal custody of Jace.

I feel sorry for that little boy. Grandma is a nutbar and his mother is a mess.
 
Jenelle is bad for sure, but her mom is just as bad. I feel sorry for that baby.
 
I also felt bad for Kailyn. I have also been in a situation where you feel like you are totally alone you feel like you can't do anything because someone is basically holding shelter over your head. She's young and she should definitely nix the boys for now, but I understand how frustrating it is considering her situation. I feel like Joe is a little bit of a jerk but I understand where his mother is coming from. Kailyn should worry about education and a career right now.
 
I just got caught up on the last couple of shows. I didn't think it was possible but I dislike Janelle's mom even more.

I really felt so bad for Kailyn. I hope she can get herself out of Joe's parents house soon and have a nice place of her own.
 
Watching tonight's episode right now. I actually felt sorry for Jenelle's Mom tonight. She is so right about the guys that Jenelle picks & when I saw her break down and cry to her it was so sad. I know she isn't the best mom herself, but watching this young girl crash and burn is painful to me, I can't imagine being her mother.

I also am not loving Joe's parents right now. Kailyn isn't allowed to date anyone else as long as she is living in their home, but I am wondering if the same goes for their son? :confused3

I really hope that Leah's baby doesn't have a serious problem, as a parent of a child who has special needs I know how hard the road they are traveling is & I pray that their little one is okay.
 
I am also wondering if Joe has to follow the same rules. I understand his mothers concerns about her getting pregnant again, but I feel like Joe is trying to use that to control her to some extent. Especially after I saw the previews for the next show. Why would he call Kailyn that derogatory name just because she doesn't want to be with him and is dating someone else? I see that she eventually is able to move in with her mother, so who would call the cops on her? I think she is totally right for not wanting to be in that relationship. He is 100% trying to control her.

I think if Janelle got any kind of affection from her mom maybe she wouldn't hook up with every loser who came by.

I'm not much of a fan of Joe's parents anymore either. The kids clearly do not get along I'm not sure why his parents are so hell bent on them staying together and the no dating rule is crap.

I am sure if she moved out or didn't live with Jo's parents. they wouldn't care in the slightest who she dated. But no way in heck am I paying to support my son's ex-girlfriend, feed her, house her, send her to college, all the while she's dating other guys? Let the new guy support her then, not my son!
