MTV's 16 and Pregnant

Catelynn and Tyler's episode was sad. I was so happy when they decided to go through with the adoption.. I was worried that all their interaction with the baby at the hospital would change their minds!

Their parents are completely insane. I couldn't believe the POS mom refused to sign the adoption papers! My favorite line was the mullet dad saying "all that baby needs is love." Um, love doesn't feed, clothe, and diaper the baby!

$5 says that they don't work. That sounds like an "I don't have a job" kind of statement.

When people say that, I always think to myself "Try telling that to the social worker from Children's Services when they show up!"

It was really touching for me that the adopting parents want a connection with the birth parents (Tyler and Catelynn), and will allow exchanging of photos and what not. The bracelet scene was so sweet. The parents not supporting adoption made me

because the kids needed support through this, not a bad attitude.

I'd also like to give props to Catelynn for realizing how this could have put her life off track and that she has to get her act together to go to college and prepare for any future children (though I doubt she and Tyler will stay together forever).

"All you need is love" is such crap...maybe we should blame the Beatles. It's the same reason why divorce is so high in this country. Love is not reason enough to marry someone or have a baby with someone. Those decisions should be made just as much with the BRAIN as with the heart (or OTHER organs, if you know what I mean).

I took a sociology class last semester, and people were saying that exact statement. They thought they were financially stable to have kids, even though they were both in school and primarily living off student loans and grants. I won't have a kid without health insurance, and hopefully owning a home (and I plan to be married). Financial aid is NOT income.
