I am in NY and i didn't realize this was a NY only program. I found this link which breaks down services by state https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/medicaid-waivers/home-care.html

I guess my source was misinformed then!

I heard this from someone who knew someone that was featured on this show and she said the show paid for the surgery. That's how they get them to be on the show and expose themselves to so much humiliation.

The skin removal surgery is usually part of the package on this show, although often not in the first year. Probably in the 2 year followup. And I believe it is all paid for by the show.

My son and I were wondering about the friend who came with them to Houston and what his motivation was. My son said he must be a saint. Someone on the Live Chat thread (I was just reading it now) said he is probably being paid to be their caregiver and a light bulb went off. There is a program through Medicaid called CDPAP where you can be paid to be the caregiver of a friend or family member: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/longterm/cdpap.htm

I thought the same thing - except I didn't think he was transgender, I thought he was a really butch lesbian!

My 13 year old son was watching me and he got up and danced along (jokingly) with Whitney and the BGDC , imitating all the moves, butt slapping and all. I have never laughed so hard in my life.

The original show that ended up spinning off into Teen Mom was "16 and Pregnant" and was actually a very good and realistic documentary style program. Unfortunately, MTV chose some of the girls featured in this show to be on Teen Mom and the rest is history. This show is actually pretty similar to "16 and Pregnant."

I had my first at 34 and my second at 38. No issues at all! 36 is not old at all!

They are from Riverhead. It's on Long Island (NY). Kind of a working class area not far from the Hamptons and North Fork wine country. I have noticed that her lips and chin area are very swollen. Could be some medical issue.

Yes, it was a joke. It was more like $75 or $100. They were just trying to see if he would fall for it and then they were laughing about it.

https://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/unexpected/bios/ Lexus and Shayden McKayla and Caelan Lilly and James I wondered about that as well so looked them up. Lilly's mom is in her 40's but had her first child as a teenager.

My 13 year old son had seen a You Tube video promoting this show with the 31 year old grandmother to be! He said "Does this run in the family or something? What is WRONG with these people!?" LOL. But seriously. Also, the 31 year old Grandma looked way older than 31. What happened to her? I thought the grandpa singing "You are my Sunshine" to his pregnant granddaughter really touching.

Did anyone watch Big Little Lies? Jesse reminds me of the Alexander Skarsgard character - Nicole Kidman's abusive husband!

There is a large Haitian community in my town, so much so that all the school documents are translated into both Spanish and Creole. Creole is very different than French.

Yes, I definitely picked up on that.

Yes, Megan was the one with the mixed race half sister. The parents had Megan, gave her up for adoption, then mom had another daughter with someone else and kept her (the mixed race girl obviously), later reconnected with Megan's father, married him and had two more kids, a boy and girl. Abbi's mother is the one who had babies by three different men. She had a daughter already (the red haired girl), got pregnant again and couldn't afford to keep the baby (Abbi, though they had called her April) and gave her up for adoption. Later, married and had three more kids though we only met one girl. She died when the kids were young in a car accident and grandma had gotten custody of them all and had been looking for Abbi.

Yes I recall from the original episode that the falling down the stairs accident happened while he was in high school so he never graduated

2 hours

It was SUNY New Paltz. At least that's where it was filmed.

I recognized the milk. Horizon Organic milk.

I have a friend who knows someone that was featured on this show and she said that the show paid for her surgery. That's part of the deal and why people sign up to be on the show

She meant she didn't want to be buried when her kids were still in diapers, not her in a diaper!

The article was for the Modern Love feature in the Sunday New York Times Style section. I read it every week and actually I thought it was very fitting!
