Mrs. Hanson

100% agree with it all - and frankly Emillee (sp?) I would tread lightly in the "I will withhold the baby" line of thinking - many girls have wound up with 50/50 parenting time (or less) when ex BF's parents hire a shark lawyer. Yes - everyone acts like they are in HS....for sure.

McCayla made a 20 minute youtube video, talking directly to the camera explaining what is on her 2nd baby shower list and why she wants it, and where to purchase the items. Don't believe me? Take a peek! I also found some other from her "vlogging" about her day, what she buys at the grocery store, Timmy napping, her nails, her pedicure, her Coach shoes.....LIKE WHO THE HELL CARES?

Because I don't like her, lol? I will back it down - I did not realize cheer came with scholarship $$ and I guess she can go to prom....but in a different dress? Yes. McBabyMaker is couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel. I had two in diapers at the same time for quite a bit and it is not splitting the atom, folks.

Count me in too - I think Emillee is realizing she has a mom who berates her, a BF who is as annoying as F**K, a hopeless future and a boyfriend who called her pudgy after she gained 18 pounds while being pregnant with HIS baby. She is surrounded by losers, a mom who wants to take out HER garbage in Emillee (sp?) and just.....no. But Emillee is a spoiled person and feels a lot of entitlements - prom and cheer tryouts for starters.

My heart hurts every time I hear a mom, teen or not, saying their baby is "crazy" or some other thing. He is a BABY. You are, in theory, the adult. I am not a fan of Shannon - I am really 50/50 towards her, but: if her dad is an active drinker he needs help. Damaging your liver is serious shit and he needs medical help NOW. We can all connect the dots that is Shannon had the life she had, Grandpa Tim and Quiet Wife are they way THEY are with others plus McBabyMaker and her crap.....well there was a lot of stuff going on, interpersonally. If he is a problem drinker (I define that as problems with the law, problems with employment, severe health issues or undue conflict with family) he should not be drinking at all. She had people doing all that stuff for her all her life, why should she change now? Per the poster who talked about playpen usage: When I was scoping the "Teen Mom Youtube" channels, that seemed to be a biggie!! Plop the baby in there, play with your phone. Change diaper, give bottle, lather rinse repeat. Emily's dress looked like a Canasta dress and she got a part time job serving at El Loro* Mexican eatery. Except the servers at El Loro* look good. *El Loro is an awesome Mexican eatery here in the Minneapolis suburbs, I am in no way poking fun at El Loro. I mean.......now I want to eat there adn it is 7:12 in the morning.

Not gonna lie, I thought you were kidding. I went to youtube and typed in "Teen Mom Typical Day" and lo and behold: SO MANY DIFFERENT ONES! Not just talking into the camera but shooting a video complete with music!! WTF? BTW, most of them seem to start at 8am when Teen Mom wakes up. Really? By 8am I have been up for three hours.......When I was 17 I liked babysitting a baby for about two hours, then I was outta there.

You are right - we all have that relative (we tend to distance ourselves if she is a friend) who goes from the frying pan into the fryer so to speak. Rachel needs that drama and stress while most of us (hopefully) are happy to NOT have that drama in our lives.

Prison gangs?

Andy was truly funny - Dylan is just dim. As much as I can't take Dylan, please.....No Rainier Shine. Nathan Fillion (sp?) is great and hopefully his new show takes up all his time!!!! But no to Rainer.

I agree however if it is life that is stressing her out, she is bringing/has brought it ALL ON HERSELF. I mean, who signs up the broke, in debt, anger gnome who lives 3000 miles away???

They really can't unless they want to go into "A Very Special Modern Family" territory. I agree - and yes (I am going to duck the tomatoes being thrown here) I like Andy. Yes I want her to be Hailey Bailey.

No kidding - I can just hear her/see her at Abblebee's: "SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! C'MON BARKEEP!!!!! WAITRESS??? SERVER??? WHERE ARE YOU??" She probably never tips either.

@ButterQueen. come sit with me and have coffee. I have nothing to add to that except I know we would be friends in real life. I would like to think that, if I had a daughter, her taste in young men would be above this batch of tools. But geez........you never know! I was lucky enough to be brought up by a dad who would say to me, periodically, "Look, this how you are to be treated. Like I treat you!"

Kara, a/k/a Shots Bride, was a prison guard. Fine - but she clearly got a thrill out of bossing people around all damn day and wanted to act that way in her off time as well. She was bossy, mean and just unpleasant. She had a mean look in her eye!!! Seriously! No kidding!!! What did those centerpieces ever do to you, lady?

I am a thrift store junkie and when those half off sales happen, especially before school starts, they are super crowded as people RELY on them for inexpensive clothes for back to school. McBabyMaker should take note!!! That will be her, and really, with two little ones so close together, and the rate that kids grow it really SHOULD be her!!! Same with thrift store toys.

I just can't believe Rachel could not/would not put an ad in the paper: "Looking for unemployed guy, lives with Mom, heavily in debt, fighting past a must, and be a drinker, be under five foot four to complete the picture. Call Rachel at 555-DRAB for more information. For futher information, follow my IG at #followourdelusions"

Crying and sobbing: "BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!"

APPLAUSE!!! bolding mine: I loved every age, too. Mine are now 19 and 21 and never hated me, lol. (I think!)

Amen! And I want to say, without going too off topic: I loved those years. I really did, I had chill, mellow tempered babies and toddlers, a helpful partner plus (and this is the biggie) I was 32 and 34 when they were born, NOT 16 and 18. I was a SAHM (worked pt in the evenings) so I was in the trenches but I loved it. McKayla - I don't see her as being so enamored of laundry and domestic chores. Me thinks she will learn hard and fast that one baby is NOT equal to a toddler and a baby. Toddlers. Do. Not. Slow. Down. EVER!

Come sit with me - I am 53, got remarried a year ago and the during the planning process I was like, "Really?" Back in 1994 when I wed the first time it was a 30 minute ceremont follwed by dinner, drinks and dancing at the VFW. Now? holy moly - you gotta have SO! MANY! FACETS! plus a theme! plus a this and a that or you are just not Pinterest - worthy!!! You need to propose to you bridesmaids, too. Ugh - McBabyMaker is in for a rude reality.

Yep - I had two close together (wouldn't change a thing!) and yes, eventually those cuties become vocal toddlers with personalities of their own!! Goof luck with that, McBabyMaker.

See, and this is where Grandpa Tim and Grandma I Forget Her Name need to NOT rip Shannon a new one. You guys did all the raising of her? Well here you go. To even suggest ANYTHING over a simple courthouse wedding followed by a dinner or lunch at a restaurant would be laughable in my book. Well you raised an entitled brat and here and here ya go!!! She also bugged me when she was like, "Timmy needs to take a nap!! He is acting psycho! " Grandpa Tim: "It it 6:30, why would he go to bed?" McCayla: "Well he didn't take a nap earlier!" Girl whose fault is that?

My husband of one year was a 52 year old first time groom last year. I knew him when we were kids and young adults; short story: I never saw his never been married status as a flaw, it just was. I am sorry you lost your husband. Edited to add: Does Paul really carry hair around with him? Eww. Reminds me of my younger son and I this summer: He made a jar with a lid on a pottery wheel, and I said it would make a good urn! He says, "Yeah.....I can put your ashes in there someday and say to a future girlfriend, in a flat voice: "Here.....this is my mother, I sprinkle her ashes on my food." My son has an odd sense of humor, kinda like his mom!!! LOL!

So true! You really know someone when the chips are down, the kids are sick, etc. They are in a la la land.

I am 53, not too far from any of you folks, raised with progressive liberal minded parents as well. I would have been HORRIFIED to attend school pregnant (it was not allowed on my HS, graduated in 1983) and I will be even more honest: my sons are 21 and 19 and I would be embarrassed as hell if one of then had a pregnant girlfriend right now. (Luckily neither is interested, so.....phew) I always knew where my kids were, even now when I am divorced from their dad and older one lives with Dad (he is 21, my son not their dad, lol) I could tell you what is in his dresser drawers, closet, etc - I just know them. I knew their friends, their schedules, etc - I was not a friend I was the mom and a pretty demanding one at that. Never wanted to be friends with my kids, they have one mom, one dad.......they have enough friends. See - that was my favorite part of being a parent!!! I loved saying no!!! LOLOL!
