  1. I just posted on the other thread (Jills I think) how inappropriate and greedy their wedding gift registries are. How can you add a kayak with a straight face? Or a computer? Not just any computer but a Mac Air? I think we could start a whole new thread with this topic lol!  

     

    This still makes me angry. "Buy used and save the difference" family didn't register at second hand shops did they? I hope if Josiah marries, he breaks this habit. Not likely though.

  2. I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. The comments from their fans make my head explode. Is the fan suggesting that C&T deserve "royalties" for providing B&T with a kid? Crazy as Tyler is becoming, I am sure he would tell that fan that B&T providing Carly with a stable, happy childhood is payment enough. Although it's kind of skeezy to refer to any consequence that stems from the placement of your child in the adoption system as "pay

     

    Without using the word payment, Tyler has pretty much (loudly and obnoxiously) made his feelings known that B&T do owe him. To quote him "we GAVE them Carly" sounds pretty entitled to me.

  3. I think they spend their time waiting for the MTV cameras to arrive for the next seasons filming and waiting for the MTV check to arrive in the mail. The rest of the time Tyler pontificates on how right they were to give up Carly for a better life and how screwed up Butch and everyone else is and how he doesn't want to be like Butch, occasionally he throws a comment to Cate about how neither of them (especially her!!) would be able to survive without the other. The they go over to the Burger Barn for a cheeseburger fries and shakes.

     

     

    Just an after-thought.. Tyler is just like Butch in that he spews all the right talk but never walks the walk.

     

    That is exactly what they do. The other Mom's (and Dad's) seem to have somewhat of an off show life. They spend their off show time trying to capitalize on sweet little Carly.

  4. I feel kind of bad for Catelynn. She has said in previous shows that she grew up with no stability -- her mom was on drugs and married to or dating guys like Butch; they've shown her dad before and he seemed pretty solid in comparison, though I think he lived in Florida. When she met B&T the first time, she said she wanted Carly to have a hometown/school etc. bc she didn't have that as she moved around constantly -- probably a combo of mom not being able to make rent and/or escaping abusive boyfriends and her bouncing back and forth to FL to her dad.

     

    So there's Tyler -- the one person who has stuck around all these years, and even though he's stringing her along -- she clings to him and probably fears losing him bc he is the one person in her life that has ever "wanted" her. April seems to be doing ok now, and if Catelynn wanted to leave -- she has the MTV money for an apartment and she'd have April, Nick, and her daughter. But obviously she won't leave bc she won't see that she's being strung along bc she doesn't WANT to see it. I'm sorry he claims to be SO in love with her since 7th grade or whenever, but whenever it comes close to marriage -- he finds a way to put it off, take back the ring, and then give it back some time later so they have to start wedding planning again from scratch? That's not a sign of  guy who is into you. And the excuses he's given have been ridiculous. I believe in the "Being Catelynn" special, he said something along the lines that there were lots of goals for them to fulfill before getting married and one of hers was to be healthier. Um -- he won't marry the love of his life bc she's 20 lb overweight?? If you don't want to marry her bc you're not attracted to her due to size or anything else -- fine -- but cut her loose; she is who she is and even if she loses 20 lb she's not going to be model hot.

     

    And you can tell how desperate she is to marry him bc she is totally passive as she tries not to piss him off bc she knows he could walk away. I wanted to throw a shoe at the TV every time she said in episode 1 or 2 -- I "wouldn't mind being married before the baby comes." Wouldn't mind?? Why not be more assertive and say -- look we've been talking about marriage for yrs, with a baby on the way -- it's now or never; I WANT to be married in the next 9 months (or ideally in the next 3 months before the real pregnant look sets in). Instead she lets him put it off by saying "no we have to do it up big; I'm not doing a courthouse wedding now and another one for guests later." You know what'll happen -- they've had the baby. The first 9 months to a yr you're too busy to plan a big wedding anyway. Then when a yr rolls around, he'll throw some other condition on her re weight loss or therapy or whatever; so that'll take another 6 months to fulfill. And just when that's about done, I wouldn't be surprised if they're pregnant again and then the cycle starts again of -- no a big wedding after the baby . . . . He's easily bought himself 2.5-3 yrs where he'll string her along and she'll cling.

     

    Sorry~just catching up. I just want to say BRAVO!!

  5. Its really true, she'd be alone. April is broken and manipulative. I'm sure she has friends and her father seems normal, if distant. It must be scary for her. I wish I could call her and tell her afraid is better than captive.

     

    THIS and....

    See, that's what I want for Catelynn and so many other women to know, its OK to be alone. The universe will not spin off its axis if you have to be alone.

    10 percent of something does not always trump 100 percent of nothing. And Tylers love is a bunch of nothing.

    Get a damn job. Find a hobby. Travel. Show Novacaine there's more to life than begging a man to love you.

     

    This!

     

    I have a fantasy of all of us on a conference call to Catelynn driving it into her head to get a clue and some self preservation.

  6. I understand her clinging to Tyler so tightly. Even though he's a douche, the small part of himself that Tyler gives to her is the most support she has ever received. She is scared because she probably knows that when he does leave she really will be alone.

  7. I remember having the biggest argument with a chick I worked with when I was15 who wouldn't use tampons because, and this is a direct quote "I don't want to lose my virginity until I'm married". She called me a slut right to my face when I said I'd used them since I was 12, and I couldn't make her understand that you can still be a virgin and use tampons.

    She and I obviously share the same mother as I was told the same thing. I went along with it until I had the guts to try a tampon. Then wondered why I waited so long.

  8. I personally don't think she's had the baby. I don't think anyone in this (The Duggar) family keeps secrets that well, especially good news. The secrets they keep are stuff they're trying to conceal. I think she didn't have the baby yesterday, but I could be wrong. I do think she could be in labor right now and we wouldn't know exactly. I also think they might hold off on the press with 3:00 am announcement and wait until morning. Given the constant surge of articles about her over the past week, I find hard to believe she's had the baby already. 

     

    Famy will blow her wad.

    "Nepal Rick Dillard."

    actually, i guess that doesn't sound too bad??

    I'm Nepal Rick Dillard bitch!

  9. This is what makes me sad for Catelyn.  I've been Catelynn.  Maybe we all have at some point, but at least for me I had a mom and older co-workers and friends who could sit me down and say to me ''WAKE THE HELL UP!! HE WILL NEVER MARRY YOU!!"  It doesnt seem like Catelyn has anybody who can be that honest with her.  They just listen to her tell whatever new tale Tyler has spun for her and nod their heads.

     

    April seems sober now.  She got away from Butch and his bullshit, why cant she counsel her daughter to do the same?

     

    My mom once told me that you can be in love with someone and not be with them.  Sounds simple but that was like a lightbulb moment for me and sense then it has helped me move of from many a pointless relationship.

     

     

    I just want Cate to stop putting her future in Tyler's hands.  She can pitch herself to Teen Mom as a newly single gal raising a baby.  Something.

    I don't believe April has those skills, sober or not. Drug and alcohol abuse stunts your emotional growth at the age that you start using. Cate is the mature one between those two.

  10. Jeez, I'd annoy the stew out of you, then. I've always had 10,000 nicknames for each of my kids, including "Brother" (and its variants "Bubba" and "Bubby" for my son), and this habit has abated only a little as they've entered adulthood. For me it has nothing to do with baby talk . . . ask anyone, I NEVER use baby-talk with small children. (My kids brag that they developed their big vocabularies and strong communication skills because I never talked down to them.) To me, nicknames and diminutives are just a way of showing affection. I'm 50 and love it when my siblings call me by my childhood nickname. I adore relating to my children as fellow adults, but I won't refrain from calling them cutesy names from time to time unless they indicate that they don't like it anymore!

     

    I'm definitely with you on hating MEchelle's sing-songy voice, though. There's an annoying young woman at my church who talks like that, and she doesn't even have children. She teaches college, and I hope for her students' sake that she shifts into "teacher voice" when lecturing.

    I had a boss that spoke like that. Everything ended as though she was asking a question. Her voice would lift at the end of her sentences. Blech.

  11. I wonder if Cate & Tyler would be together if Butch hadn't taken interest in April. Maybe Tyler is just emulating what he thinks adulthood is? He's not super bright, I can't seem him being self awareness enough to see how much he shares with Butch.

    Weren't Cate and Tyler together first? I am unsure.
