MTV's 16 and Pregnant

[DrPhil]

Let me get this straight, the mother of your child is hungry and you tell her to go cook. She tells you her feet are swollen and you say "well you can't eat if you don't cook."

Uh...why can't YOU cook for the mother of your child?! You aren't DOING ANYTHING ELSE. And then she gets a lecture from her mother about just going in the kitchen and cooking. "You're gonna have to do it all at the same time...cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the baby."

Uh...what the hell will HE be doing in all of this? I swear I'm so tired of men being taught that as long as there's a woman present she's the one responsible for the household and the children.

Woosah. I'll end my rant there.

(The grandma missed the cup coke (so did I) and overreacted. It was very strange and kind of funny. I think grandma is just tired of all the preggers women in that house. She was just waiting for a chance to express it.)

One of my grown daughters alerted me to this show because oh crap, I think that this last girl (Whitney?) is a local. Here we have 4 colleges and 2 huge medical centers and aaaaah! They go out into the trailer parks waaay out in the county (her former school is very close to us but the district extends to the Alabama line) and find some fabulous kids like these.

Well, this area has some stellar programs for teen mothers but a dollar says that this girl won't look into them and in 16 years (maybe 14?), we'll be seeing a show with all 3 generations pregnant and living in the same ole trailer. I highly doubt she'd place the baby for adoption. I've taught in the region for too long to believe that; black, white, and Hispanic, they almost all keep their babies.

An update on Whitney, Weston and Owen. Seems Owen has a liver disease.

Just watched Catelynn and Tyler's episode and nearly bawled my eyes out!! It must have been so hard to give up their baby for adoption, but the adoptive parents seemed to have it all together so good for them.

I realllllllllllllly disliked Catelynns mom...she was so mean to her daughter! I would have been proud of her..she was doing what was best for her baby and I thought it was so selfish of her mom to not support her and not sign the adoption papers. Same with Tylers dad being an ass to him. Plus..totally EWWwwww that Catelynns mom and Tylers dad got married!! Talk about selfish parents!!

I watched that episode too. I was completely appalled by literally everything their parents did!!! How dare her mother be so cold and mean because her daughter didn't want her child to have a messed up childhood like she did. They are so selfish and just plain screwed up it's not even funny. Plus, I say you should never listen to anyone who's still wearing a mullet. Because if they have the gall to do that Lord only knows what else they'd be capable of!

Good on these kids for making a better choice for their child.
