I'm still believe that if Adumb wanted to do Chelsea, she'd take him right back in a heartbeat. So now NO ONE can take pictures of Aubree without her explicit approval? Hell no girl, as long as Adumb gave the OK, go F yourself.
I disagree. I think Chelsea has learned over the years what a loser Adam is (plus, he's been getting uglier and uglier with age, I think). Chelsea's complaint with Taylor wasn't specifically taking the picture, it was posting it on social media. No one should post a picture of your kid online without the parent's permission, and as Adam is not Aubree's legal guardian, he is not the one to give permission.

I wouldn't invite my 2 year-old to an evening work event of mine, even if my job wasn't erotic performance art. If nothing else, someone should have explained that to Madison on a practical level. A kid kept up past her bedtime is going to have a meltdown, and Madison is not going to be able to focus on her job if she's having to deal with a toddler meltdown. It's completely unprofessional to bring your child along, not to mention horrible parenting.

one small detail Jaime and Adam overlooked last night. The test group was adults with some simulated babies. But a parent with a small child would be very uncomfortable having their kid board alone while they waited for the next cattle call, that is when using the boarding method where the window seats are filled first, then middle, etc.
Not a small detail at all. I think people traveling together, even if they do not include small children, would not want to separate to board. I wouldn't want to send my 7 or 11 year old ahead to board or leave them behind to board without me. And frankly even if I were just traveling with my husband I wouldn't be too thrilled to separate for boarding.

I misheard Leah saying she was going to sell "skin care" as she was going to sell "skank hair."
Hee hee. Now there's a business she could be a spokeswoman for.

I'm not sure if they knew he was dead or if they were previously informed that he had an accident when it occured so they were kind of prepared to hear bad news.
Chris Harrison had been on the View that morning and talked about Eric being in an accident, so I'm sure they all knew that there was an accident, they just hadn't been told that Eric had died yet.
Can someone refresh my memory about what the messed-up family situation was with Marcus? They kept mentioning his "difficult family situation" but for the life of me I couldn't remember it, and it didn't seem weird on the home visit. His Dad wasn't there, but a divorced/absent Dad doesn't seem so unusual to me that it would have to constantly be referred to as a "difficult situation."

my favorite being how Tori is going to show the kids the show when they're old enough. Because living it wasn't enough.
Yes, because clearly her children will never be on the internet to Google this fuck-and-awe story and read everything on their own in just a very short couple of years.
Absolutely. Tori didn't really answer the question of whether or not it was bad for their children to film this show. She said that the kids know and like the cameramen (fine) and that she will help talk her children through watching the show when they are adults (OK). But that's not the point of the question.
They are putting themselves and their kids on TV revealing personal things and airing this now. The kids do not live in a bubble. They go to school. Their classmates' parents, their neighbors, their friends are watching this show. And the kids know this. The kids will hear about what is on the show, if they haven't already, and they will see it.

Why does every girl on this show say that birth control makes you fat? When did that become accepted fact? And why does no one refute that? The only response we see on the show is "well, pregnancy makes you even fatter."
Birth control does not make you fat. Some birth control pills can make some people gain some weight, but that's not always the case, and there are plenty of other birth control methods for which weight gain isn't even a possible side effect.

Then, she brings it back to HERSELF again by making a confusing statement about not wanting Liam to equate his body image with parental arguments???? The hell? "I don't want his hair or body aesthetically connected to the fact that you got in a fight."
That was the weirdest part of the argument for me. I completely understood why there was a heated argument over what Dean did, and I kept waiting for Tori to make the reasonable case here: #1, you don't pull a kid out of school without calling the other parent to discuss it. #2, you don't give in to your kid's tantrum and refusal to go to school by allowing them to not go to school. #3, school is more important than a hairdo.
Liam's 7, most likely in 1st grade, too old to be throwing a tantrum about going to school and too old to be allowed to skip school for a haircut. I don't understand why Tori made this about body image.

Didn't it seem cruel for Jo to show Isaac his empty former room? Why not just go to the new house right away and start talking it up?
I think it was cruel. He should have shown Isaac the new room first with his things in it, to reassure him that he had a place to live and his bed didn't just disappear. Kids that age have a hard time understanding the concept of moving. They don't get that the things inside a house aren't part of the house.
When we told my 5 year-old we were going to move, he cried because he was going to miss his house. As I talked to him more about what he was going to miss, he said "My Legos, my bed, my toys...." All things that were going to move with us, but he had a hard time wrapping his brain around that concept. For days, he would ask me about every single thing: "Does this belong to the house, or is it moving with us?" The process of packing helped him understand that, and he made sure to tell the movers not to forget to bring his Legos and his bed and his stuffed animals.
If we wouldn't have been able to let him see that packing process, I definitely would not have just shown him his empty old room. I would have first shown him where his stuff is (in the new room).

It seemed a little odd that, at 16 months, their baby wasn't talking at all. Perhaps she does have words and the camera wasn't capturing them, but most babies at that age have at least a handful of key words. I wonder if their focus on sign language is contributing to that.
