This bitch kills me. I'm almost done rewatching the whole series and just when I start feeling sorry for her she just does something that disgusts me. Bitch shouldn't have dogs much less children. Watching her with Jace just reminds me of when I dated a guy with a kid for awhile. I'm not a kid person and had zero connection with the kid so our interactions were just forced and awkward for awhile. That's how she is with her own kids. Bizarre. I still don't get why she had either one of them.

That makes me sick also. I've been re-watching the entire series on Hulu and I'm halfway through last season, and of course keeping up with this season. Watching Jenelle desperately want to be with psycho Nathan, who treats her like shit - it's just pathetic. I wonder if she ever watches herself and realizes how pathetic she sounds. I just watched a season 5 episode where he's telling her to abort The Roll and she's upset and wailing, "I just want you to love me." Good grief. It's like no matter how shitty someone treats her, it doesn't matter, as long as they love her. It's really sad, especially when you binge watch the whole series. I just don't get that. I didn't want to be alone in my 20s either but at least I was never that pathetic about it. Now that I'm in my 30's, I almost PREFER being alone. And I got that way by staying single for awhile and learning how to be with myself. I wish she would do that too. I can't even hardly watch her crying and wailing over these idiots. Jenelle is a very pretty girl, and for all her stupid relationship decisions and criminal acts, I always got the feeling she was actually pretty smart - book smart that is, and if she actually applies herself. But who has time for that when you are throwing yourself at these idiots. Seriously makes me sick!

Not as long as the kid has a use for her. The use being, using him as a pawn in her and Nathan's ongoing game of psychotic drama.

Unfortunately when a childless woman dates or even marries a man with a kid, it's uneven by default. I know from experience. Not saying it shouldn't be, kids come first etc, but it's extremely uneven. Your life revolves around the needs of the child. This is why so many women - Vee included - immediately have kids in this situation. They are trying to even the playing field and become as important as the "first family". I still can't believe that someone as young and attractive as Vee hooked up with this guy in the first place, much less got herself attached to his life. Jo has never struck me as a catch. I always made it clear to my now ex that if his ex-wife ever moved and he wanted to follow her, I wasn't going. I don't revolve my life around the baby mama's decisions, not to that big of a scale anyway, following her around just because she chooses to move. If it was someone like Karl, oh hell no. That's not a good life. Vee surely had other options, not sure why she chose this one. Unless there's a lot of money somewhere we don't know about.

Dear god, I forgot about that curly hair-straight bangs look she had going on. What in the world...

Longtime lurker here. I've been re-watching this entire series on Hulu going back to the 16 and Pregnant episodes, and just felt compelled to comment. I really, REALLY wonder what Barb was like when Jenelle was growing up. Obviously we only see what is on TV, and of course kudos to Barb for taking over for her irresponsible daughter who ditched her own child. In no way am I sticking up for Jenelle, as she is obviously a complete sociopath. I just really wonder how she ended up this way. A lot of her behavior in earlier seasons really makes me think of people who have been stuck in abusive situations and finally get old enough to where they just decide they are sick of it and aren't going to take the person's sh*t anymore. And the whole flat effect, dead eyes thing - I know someone like that and they did not grow up in a great environment, to put it mildly. I don't know, she's a horrible human being (I use the term "human" loosely here) but I sort of feel sorry for her also. Those two are just toxic to each other, it's no wonder Jenelle turned out crazy.
