Jenelle & her mom are both train wrecks
Yep, I predict this child will eventually end up being removed from the home.
I really like Corey, he seems so together I really hope him and Leah can't get back together. It seems like she has gronw up!
I don't think she grew up so much as she gave up the fantasy of getting back together with her old boyfriend. It was pretty obvious he represented her days of being young and carefree, while every time she looked at Corey she saw responsibility staring her in the face.
I may have missed a couple episodes but I am confused.
While I am not advocating that Kailyn jump into another relationship right away, why does Jo give a crap what Kailyn is doing if he doesn't want to be with her?
It just seems like common sense that if you're living in your ex-boyfriend's house, if his parents are extending hospitality to you because otherwise you'd be homeless . . . it's not a good idea to bring in another man, who will obviously be "Jo's replacement". It's just not right to do that while living in their house!
In the future, when she's out on her own, sure. She has every right to date whomever she pleases. And while she might have that RIGHT now, it just isn't courteous to her hosts. It's bad to rub her new relationship in their faces.
Kaitlyn's mom (not Jo's mom with whom she lives) is every bit as bad as Jenelle's -- she's just less caustic in her behavior.
I can almost see some of Jenelle's points when they argue - Jace is Jenelle's child, and there are times when she says I want to hold him, I want to change him, etc. She is showing initiative (as she should) to be a good mother .... if Jenelle's mom wasn't such a witch herself, she'd let Jenelle take some responsibility instead of being a control freak and doing all the parenting herself.
On the other hand, Jenelle clearly only wants to be a mom WHEN IT SUITS HER. It's not fair to her mom to expect her to do the nighttime routine, get him up in the mornings, transport him to day care, etc. . . . but, oh, when it's sweet and cuddly time, and I'm well-rested, and there's not much on TV -- oh, pass him over to me!
Not that that excuses either of them or their atrocious behavior!
I agree she needs to just concentrate on being a mom, starting college so she can have a future. That's how I would feel if I were Jo's parents and opened my home to her. She has plenty of time for that in the future.
ALL the teen moms are too concerned with dating and not concerned enough about their educations/careers, but this batch is worse than the girls from the first season. Yes, it's natural at 18-19-20 to want to date and to be interested in finding a husband, but they've altered their paths in life without altering their priorities!
I am not trying to sound mean but if you have had two babies for the past 9 months living and growing together day to day how would they both not have been able to notice this or some of the other obvious differences in the twins?
On a simliar note, why didn't the doctor notice something in all those infant check-ups? It makes me wonder whether she was keeping up with the girls' well-visit check-ups and vaccinations.
janelle was without her son for two week and final got to see them and it seem like as soon as she got there grandma had to put the baby to bed.. he could have stayed up longer.. (if that would have been my i would have stepped up and said something like i can put him to bed later i have saw him it two weeks and i want to spend time with him)
Yes, but you're thinking like normal people think. Those two don't know what normal is, and they're always looking for ways to hurt one another. It's just a matter of time 'til they include Jace in the fun of let's-see-how-mean-we-can-be-to-our-familes, and they'll teach him how to behave this way too.
However it is clear that they aren't so much interested in her happiness, development and well being as a person but only her role as baby mama.
Well, that's who she is. She's an ex-girlfriend. If it weren't for the baby, she'd be out of their lives. Since she has no other options, they're taking care of her physical needs. Their ongoing relationship is going to be with their grandson, not with her. Sure, they'll want to see her succeed because that'll mean she'll be a better mother to the child, but they're not obligated to raise her. They're not wonderful to her, but where would she be without them? A homeless shelter?
Jo's a mess. I'd hate to look at my child and say, "This is what I've raised."
The Mom mentioned that the baby was breech but since her arms and legs are affected, I think it is less likely to be a birth injury. Maybe an OB nurse or pediatrician will chime in. I feel terrible for them and hope this brings them some clarity so they can get their relationship back on track.
and went home to figure out how to approach her. I called her the next day and she, to this day, 10 years later, is so grateful. She knew, in her heart of hearts, that something was terribly wrong, but couldn't bring herself to even say it aloud, much less get organized to get it diagnosed and begin treatment. Basically paralyzed with fear of the unknown. The other factor here is her age. My friend was over 30 when her DD was born. This poor girl is still a child herself and is very verbal about how overwhelmed she is about the potential difficulties ahead for the baby.
I am not in the medical field at all ... but I don't think this is good. 
If the parents don't want to see her forging a relationship with someone else, they need to counsel their son to put his big boy pants on and become a partner to the mother of his child. They sure can verbalize their expectations of Kailyn but I don't hear them verbalizing what they expect Jo to do. How about asking him to man up? They treat him like he is the second coming and her like she is yesterday's paper.
