Teen Mom

[herdtoDisney]

I think it's interesting that Maci is now back in school and Ryan appears to have quit/got fired from his job and all the Haters can talk about is how she takes Bentely with her to get coffee and to the salon! Although I do think the salon thing was odd-but I can only imagine what would be said about her if she left her child with someone and went out by herself.
.

Yeah, not actually a Hater here Just a very experienced parent who was in similar shoes as her once and thinks her choices are odd. Hopefully she's happy with them-I'm happy with mine.

I hope these girls all will look back someday and see the good and bad choices they made. Hopefully, for the sake of the kids, they can start making more good choices-and accepting the advice of more experienced family and friends.

In your post you mentioned being a 'working' single young mom. I get that-but these girls are making upwards of 60K per year just doing this show. So if I was 19 and made 60K per year and was on magazine covers and on tv I would get hair extensions if I wanted them too.
And we are only seeing a snapshot of their lives-I'm not the best mom in the world but I'm certainly not the worst-and if I was being filmed there would be days when I am at the coffee shop with my kids.

If you watch the older 16 and pregnant when they're working with the agency they had the most awful woman who not only created the delusion but let them hold on to it. She said anything and everything to keep them going through with the adoption.

No, I didn't see that, but it sounds like she had an agenda. Too bad she took advantage of young people, who didn't have support from home and perhaps didn't have a full grasp on what they were doing.

Farrah: HOW STUPID IS THIS LITTLE GIRL? Wouldn't it make more sense to finish school at home, then move? Wanting to move a plane ride away from everything she and Sofia knows is beyond stupid. If it was just her, fine, but she needs to think about her young daughter. Her parents watch Sofia whenever Farrah needs them too. Most likely they do it for free. Does this girl realize how good she has it? .

Yeah, she has no clue how much other people are doing for her. She totally underestimates how much effort it'd take to do it all on her own, and I can't believe how rude she is to her family.

I thought the same thing about Amber. She's getting involved with another guy? Worry about getting your act together first.

Farrah...I just want to smack her upside the head.

I don't understand why Maci dropped half her credits. She can concentrate on school when she doesn't have Bentley soooo...why is she using Bentley as an excuse?

Amber's not alone in the idea that she isn't complete without a guy. Maci's made some pretty stupid choices -- moving away from her family, when she clearly needed their support, driving 2 hours to attend community college. Why? To be near Kyle. And Farrah's cried to her mom about how it's been a whole year since Derrick died, and she hasn't met anyone yet. It's a teenaged thought process: I need a man. I'm not "making it" in the world yet because I'm incomplete without a partner.

They don't "get" that they need to focus on themselves first, and that will all fall into place.

Maci is an idiot for continuing to drop those credits. She only has Bentley half the time, and she doesn't work. Why can't she manage to finish freshman community college classes?

Personally I think that stinks. They agreed to an open adoption, those are the conditions under which C & T chose adoption for their child. Now, do I think that B & T should have to have the birth family calling them? No, I don't.

I'm half-way on that one. I think they should have the option of going before the judge and saying, "We agreed to semi-open, but now things are getting out of hand: Excessive Christmas gifts, calls from parents, requests for social events. We want to reconsider." Things like that need to be done on a case-by-case basis.

I honestly think Tyler is a very well-adjusted person for all he has been through. Seriously, all the stuff with his dad and the baby and he seems so well-rounded. He amazes me sometimes that he is only 18. Most of the teenage boys I know (or have known) would've checked out of that relationship years ago.

I don't think he's going to last much longer. Caitlyn is way too dependent on him and she's going to drive him away. The fact that they made a special therapy appointment to discuss the fact that Tyler wanted to go out dancing with his friends says it all.

 

[anniemae]

I was shaking my head when C and T went to therapy because he wanted to go dancing and she didn't. They are going to be in A LOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT of therapy if they call up for an appt at every disagreement. I mean I give them credit for taking it so seriously, but come on!

Also I was laughing when Farrah was in FL and called her mother. Farrah was like, "Oh mom, it's beautiful, Sophia and I went to the beach and the waves were so beautiful!" Her mother was like, "Oh those waves will drag you out to sea and kill you!" Talk about glass half empty!

 

[ALittleDisneyFan]

C&T.. I don't know. My s/o thinks they seem more like a brother/sister relationship.. and I see them more as just best friends. I'm glad they have one another, because you certainly need someone when your family is as dysfunctional as theirs... She should allow Tyler to go and do his own thing, and use that time to do something that she likes that he doesn't.

Farrah, this one, I can not stand. Her Sophia is a DOLL BABY.. and I really do believe as flighty as her mother seems, that she does want the best for Sophia and for Farrah. I wish she would chill out, calm down, and try talking to her mother rationally instead of always pitching a fit. Also, she is so utterly disrespectful to her father when she calls him Michael. As hard as it would be for her parents, they need to let princess farrah fall on her face.

Maci.. I noticed the carseat thing too.. so worrisome and dangerous.

Amber, she is no surprise. Leah is such a cute little pumpkin, I feel very sorry for her. All of this dysfunction will end up messing her little life up.

Sorry if this is old news, I just hadn't seen it before

Regarding the episode showing C&T moving into a different place TMZ says they were evicted from the first place for non-payment of their rent:

One of the couples from MTV's "Teen Mom" started off Season 3 by moving into their 1st apartment together -- but TMZ has learned, they've already been evicted from the pad ... for failing to pay rent!

19-year-olds Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra -- who are best known for giving their daughter Carly up for adoption on the show -- singed a lease on an apartment in Marine City, Michigan, in August, 2010. The big move was featured on the MTV show.

But according to court docs -- the couple stopped paying their rent in December 2010 ... so their landlord gave them an eviction notice -- and took them to court!
It didn't turn out well for the couple -- who agreed to give up their $450.00 security deposit, pay an additional $450 in back rent and move out of the building

Gary dropped $5000 in 11 hours at a strip club this summer :
"Teen Mom" baby daddy Gary Shirley went on a MARATHON strip club session earlier this summer ... TMZ has learned -- dropping $5,000 on 11 hours of awesomeness.

We're told Gary made it rain at a 24-hour gentlemen's club in Miami -- unleashing a constant stream of cash from 1AM to 12PM. Count 'em. ELEVEN HOURS OF STRIPPERS.

According to sources inside the club, Gary kicked off the evening in the VIP area -- and then moved the action somewhere more private ... the champagne room.

We spoke to Gary, and he had no comment.

Finally guess her tweets show Farrah's sure happy with her implants
"@bestbreastdoc Thank you for calling the other day! & checking in to see how my implants are doing& of course Wonderful" she tweeted on Wednesday.

"My implants are doing wonderful. I get compliments Literally All the time you did a wonderful job!" she continued.

Geeze I think MTV needs to start giving these kids a financial planner along with their paychecks

 

[jenny105]

How did C&T not pay their rent?? Aren't they paid for being on the show??

Gary is just....yuck. I feel sorry for their daughter.

I think they money is put in a trust for them. I could be wrong



I'm so sick of how Farrah treats her parents they were trying to help her when they went to Az to look for places, all she does is yell and scream at them if she doesn't get her way.

I agree with Farrah mom, that Farrah mom should let them keep Sophia until she gets settleted on her feet. They love that baby so much this must be so hard on them, when they know how flighty Farrah is,

 

[marie1203]

Not until recently (Amber court) the amount they were getting paid was unknown. There is many speculation to how they get paid and if they can touch the money but nothing for sure. I think they at least get half of the money there is no other way that Maci can afford to drop classes, move, not work. The same goes for T&C they work but there is no way they make enough to pay for school, everything else only working part time. Gary could not have the money to go to a strip club or Amber could not afford moving and a lawyer. And farrah making all those trips an the dog . They have some moving coming in from the show for sure.

 

[castmember19]

I don't think the Gary-strippers story is accurate. Sounds like just tabloid drama to me. I knew he took to Twitter to shake off the rumors... can't remember exactly what he said though.

 

[katrina1122]

So how did Caitlin afford the ski/b&b weekend if they weren't even paying rent on time? This one confused me. I think she's being too clingy for Ty and better back off or there will rough times ahead for them

I can't believe Debra telling Farrah to leave her baby with her when F goes to college and that F is actually considering it. Blew my mind!

 

[jpaxton1118]

Saw on e news that farah did leave Sophia with her mom. I could not imagine!

 

[anniemae]

I heard Farrah left Sophia with her mom too. I really don't think she would have been able to go to school full time, work, and take care of Sophia. She really should look into schools close to home so her mom could help take care of sophia while she goes to classes. She is lucky to have parents willing and able to help her.

I think Catelynne is getting very clingy to Tyler. He seems like he may want to play the field at some point. He feels obligated to Cate I think because he said he made a commitment to her. I think since they went through the pregnancy and adoption, he may feel he needs to stay with her. He seems to want to "live the college life" and go out clubbing etc. She seems content playing house and being more home-bodyish.

 

[HonnyDipp]

I can't see C&T together much longer. I get the impression that Tyler is only with her out of obligation. That kid wants to run but he doesn't want to hurt her.

And she already has such self-esteem issues - with her weight, her looks, insecurities about other women - can you imagine if he left her? I'm sure HE realizes this, too. I think poor Tyler is being smothered and needs to step back and take a look at WHY he is staying, since he's said he can see himself with another woman.

I can't believe Tyler said that on camera. I'm sure Cait went nuts when she saw that footage. I'm hoping Dr. Drew brings that up at the reunion finale. Tyler is trying so hard not to be like his father.

Maybe he's trying to make HER want to leave so he doesn't have to do the breaking up? His comments about the clubbing, the "I'm going to go no matter what" made me think this. Sometimes, the "nice guys" just can't do it and start acting mean so they don't have to...

I give him kudos for sticking it out this long, but he shouldn't feel obligated, Carly or not.

I don't think it was a "weekend," looked like just one night at a B&B and a day of skiing, not too pricey. I am guessing they were just too lazy or ignorant to pay their rent or utilities in a timely manner. They both had jobs and must have made at least $300 a week, rent in that area is cheap. I can't believe they went to therapy because Caitlyn was afraid to go dancing . How come they are never referred to as step brother and sister?

Cate had an Ipad! Interesting! Maybe they are allowed some stipends from their MTV accounts. Plus I did also notice her lovely nails….that can be a costly habit.

Maci: I do not like her with hair extensions. I think she needs to rein it in a bit with Ryan. If he goes out with his buddies AFTER Bentley is in bed, I don't see a problem with that. Ugh. I find lately she is spending way too much worrying about what Ryan is or is not doing for Bentley. If she did not have Kyle in her life, I am so sure she would be off with all her gf's whether or not Bentley was awake or asleep in her care.

Amber: UGH. STOP PLAYING THE ROLE OF THE VICTIM. UGH. She is in this whole mess because of HER OWN ACTIONS. And quite frankly, I bet she would have continued her nasty abuse of Gary had the viewers of the show not notified the police. I also wonder how many more years Leah has before she starts SCREAMING at her.

Farrah: UGH. Another beaut. Always always just so nasty to her parents. UGH.

The previews for the finale look so sad. Looks like Butch is back in prison. And we see Amber LECTURING Gary on relationships….while she is continually in and out of them….

Interesting as I read above that Farrah has chosen to leave Sophia for school. Wow.
