this-one-is-mine

Chelsea was awful this week for those questions to Aubree. And for acting like her boyfriend of less than a year is somehow their savior. "Do you wish your Dad were around more?"..."Well, at least you have Cole!" How about "Aubree, you always have your Mommy."

Is Javi still in the military, for sure? He seems like he's always home and never talks about it. Seems weird. Kail is probably wondering when the hell Javi is going to get deployed so she and Sterling and Peach can live happily ever after.

I know that $1700 a month isn't "nothing" in the sense that, yes, he would still feel it (my husband makes over 100k but with student loans, etc. we feel nowhere close to "rich"). I meant that it is a small portion if his income and it's not like the court is bankrupting him. And there are plenty of stories of women who ask for ridiculous amounts of child support but, as you said, the court won't accept that. So if Jeremy is paying $1700 a month, yes, he can afford it.

I have no problem with Jeremy paying $1700 a month. I mean, the entire point of the law is to not only ensure that children's needs are met, but that there isn't an incredible discrepancy between two parents' households in terms of funds. Yes, Leah spends her child support money on fake nails and drugs. But the court doesn't do a subjective analysis of how much each mother deserves the money and each precise transaction she is going to put it towards. It's likely that Jeremy makes over $100k so $1700 is nothing to him. If, rather than Leah, we were talking about some great mother in WV whose ex-husband made that kind of cash, while she made substantially less (or nothing), wouldn't that CS award be a fair way for the courts to ensure that Addalyn isn't going to her daddy's McMansion on the weekends and then back to mommy's trailer and spaghetti-o's during the week? Plus all Jeremy had to do to save that $1700 a month was keep it in his pants. No one forced him to have a child. I hate this vibe that this thread is getting, the "oh, those poor fathers who have to pay child support for the lazy mothers." I have seen plenty of child support arrangements and have yet to see a case of the court purposefully trying to bankrupt a father in order to bankroll his good-for-nothin' baby mama. It's a calculation, a formula, that's it.

When Jenelle screams at Barb, yelling "you're JUST the grandmother!" it sickens me to my core. It'd be like a girl who placed her child for adoption shrieking like a banshee at her child's parents "you're just the people who ADOPTED him (::cough cough:: and took care of him every second of his life ::cough cough::)! I'M the REAL mom!" No, you piece of shit, you're the egg donor. A child's MOM is the person who comforts him, puts him to bed, teaches him his ABCs, feeds him, plays with him, etc etc. What a fucking despicable person.

I know there are some repulsive people between the two teen mom shows (Janelle, Adam, Farrah, the list goes on and on...) but I have to say that of all of them the one who I want to punch in the fucking face the most every time she comes on screen is Kailyn. I have no idea how this girl has any friends, or has gotten any man to even speak to her more than once let alone actually have (unprotected!) sex with her. She is the most perpetually negative self-obsessed hypocritical martyr I can conceive of. Not to mention her face is hideous and I hate looking at it. Mad props to Vee for not tweeting during the episode "Hey hideous-tattoo covered land whale, why do you think Jo and I would want you anywhere near or child, let alone babysitting her?" Kail got so worked up about that, she actually thought they would ask that of her?! And let's say that in some alternate universe they did. Why does she have to be such a bitch about it? I've seen Jo on camera interacting with Lincoln and he was incredibly kind to him. She's even a miserably evil wench when talking about a baby. Ugh she is so terrible.

Just out of curiosity, why does Leah battle Addy on things as silly as taking off her shoes? My son was born a month after Addy and he loves to kick his shoes off in the car/grocery cart/etc. I don't scream and shriek at him because who cares? They're easy to put back on and it's not a big deal. Seems weird.

Leah's lawyer is a repulsive wench. I suppose, according to her, Adam should get full custody of Aubree because Chelsea works and he's a perpetually unemployed deadbeat? On a separate note, I could understand Leah not waking up to an alarm, maybe. But what about the three little living, breathing alarms that you have in that home? I have a two year old and the first thing he does when he wakes up is crawl up in Mommy and Daddy's bed and start climbing all over us, giving us kisses and asking about breakfast. I guess the girlses have given up entirely and accepted the fact that they're going to be going it alone in the mornings. Poor little things.

I wish Barb had owned the fact that Jace calls her Mom, rather than denying it. In general I wish she wouldn't stoop to Janelle's level of screaming and fighting all the time. Barb has all the power, she doesn't have to engage in that. She should have said "yes, Jenelle. He sometimes calls me Mom because that is what children have a deep desire to call the woman in their life who takes care of them. And since you have never filled that role, he doesn't want to call you Mom." Seriously Janelle just go disappear. No one--least of all your child--would miss you.

I find it so odd that Chris Harrison came to Kaitlyn and basically said "we have to rewrite the rules because you're such a skank. It's only fair that all the men get to bang you." Felt gross and sexist.

Well it does seem like in Maci's neck of the woods 22 is too old to conceive. I mean, at 22 she should be done having babies, kicking back and relaxing. Only 10 years until grandbabies after all.

To be fair to Farrah, it's not really a sequel. It's a second film made from footage that wasn't included in the first tape.

Maci is terrible. Get off your high horse, dumbass. Farrah is not in keeping with the show's message? I'm sorry, I guess I don't remember the supposed "point" of the show. Wasn't it to provide a cautionary tale, to help ensure that girls don't get pregnant before they are educated/mature/in stable relationships? And the Teen Mom who is 1) uneducated 2) not in a committed relationship and 3) PREGNANT is...Farrah? Oh, no wait. That's you, Maci. Shut the fuck up.

No. Gary is phenomenally unhealthy. Period.

I'm no Farrah fan, but "her behavior isn't in tune with the message of the ever-so-classy Teen Mom franchise"? Excuse me?! And what would the message of Teen Mom be, exactly? To get an education and have a stable life/relationship/income before having a child? Well, uh, no. 4/7 of these girls have already spawned again and none of them have degrees or stable ANYTHING (and Maci and Chelsea would have gladly had other children--Maci practically begged Kyle to get her pregnant and Chelsea failed to use protection with Adam long after Aubree was born. So the number could easily be 6/7 of them). For fuck's sake, Janelle and Amber don't even have CUSTODY of their first kids. Say what you will about Farrah (my main beef with her is that she is completely disconnected from reality and has a god-awful personality), but she provides for her child, hasn't brought another kid into a terrible situation, actually finished a schooling program, and isn't looking for a new "daddy" for her kid every month. These bitches need to get off their high horses. You are on TEEN MOM, on MTV, with the drug addict didn't even care when she lost custody of her kid, the other drug addict who is physically abusive, the backwoods town whore who has three kids and two husbands under her belt at the age of 20, etc. etc. You're not a part of some documentary that is saving lives. This a trainwreck and we're all just tuning in to gawk at it. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
