The Baby Borrowers-NBC New Show

[RedefinedDiva]

The thing that I find most interesting is that the GIRLS want the babies and the boyfriends were just playing along, but it has actually resulted in the BOYS being the one doing all the learning, growing, etc., with the exception of the African-American couple that have been working together well.

I was FURIOUS with the girl that refused to feed the baby and then got an attitude when she was instructed on what to do. In fact, I didn't find what the mother said to be anything out of order. Had it been MY baby, I guarantee that the results would have been MUCH different....

I was equally upset with the girl who refused to wear the belly because her clothes didn't look right. :roll eyes: Um, hello sweetie! You can't detach a REAL belly! I'm guessing she thinks that she'll have finely tailored maternity wear when she gets pregnant and will look like Halle Berry or Angelina Jolie. Then, she was angry when the baby didn't take to her because she has so much "babysitting" experience. Yeah, that makes EVERYONE a good mother.... :roll eyes:

These girls think that it's all fun and games, expecially the one that wanted the baby to wake up so that she could play because she was BORED. Once the baby was awake and didn't want to be bothered, she wished the baby would go to sleep! She didn't even use her time wisely. While the baby was asleep and she was BORED while her boyfriend was at the store, she could read the manual, washed the bottles, and prepared for the situation.

This show should let them know that they are TOTALLY immature and SOOOOO not ready for babies. I can't wait until next week because little Ms. I-Don't-Like-To-Be-Yelled-At doesn't seem to cut it at work either. She's a spoiled brat.

I love how she immediately volunteered to be the one to work because she thinks it will be easier. It doesn't look like it. I honestly don't know how she got it in her head that she wanted a baby because she seems like a real little brat.

Some of the things they say just really show their age, such as:

"Well fine you can starve!" (Miss Brat when the baby wouldn't eat)

"I'm not taking care of the baby anymore." (Miss Brat after she got yelled at)

"Just put it in the crib and shut the door, it's just going to cry anyway!" (The one girl's bf when the baby wouldn't stop crying at night)

"I'm pissed because the baby likes him better than me, that's not fair." (girl when her bf got the baby to quiet down and take a bottle when she couldn't)

I babysit alot for my nephew and I noticed that alot of what they don't know is pretty basic stuff like, the baby needs to have a bath, get in her pjs, and get a new diaper before bed. Or that babies don't like a whole lot of excitement when they're upset and you need to talk softly to them, or even that you should prepare bottles and food IN ADVANCE so you don't have to scramble to make it while the kid is screaming for food.

funny cause those things apply to people regardless of age. i know i like a clean change of clothes and a bath before bed. and i definitely know i like my food prepared before i get hungry beyond belief. plus, who wants to play with toys and what not when youre upset?

i really didnt think these kids would crack in the first episode. but yeah theyre remarks and reactions are clearly showing their age, and furthermore, lack of common sense. i NEVER wanted a baby at that age, and years later, still dont, because im not that selfless. and none of these teenagers (or any teenager, really) are selfless, in this age of instant gratification.

what do you mean the kid doesnt want to eat? or wont shut up when i tell it to? wait, i gotta change its clothes? why cant he bathe himself?

The other "funny" thing was when the blond that wanted to play wanted to give the baby a bath when she spit up. WTF? Do you know how many times you'd be bathing a baby in a day's time if that were the case? With that line of reasoning, you might as well leave them in the tub until they are about two years old because that's what babies do! DUH!
