Same except Cheyenne. She has grown on me this year. Her parties make me happy and I think it's cool that her family finds so much to celebrate especially during a year when there was so little to celebrate. Don't forget she's an event planner without any real events this year (or at least big ones). All the gatherings were small and outside with people they knew - mostly young. I even thought the helicopter was cool only because I'd never heard of anything like that.
The extra long montage at the end did seem like this is the last we will see of these girls/families and that's okay too especially as the kids get older.
I did forget she was an event planner, and I was okay with her too UNTIL she yelled, "No one cares about you!!!" last week when her mom or sister were telling a pregnancy story.

I had so many friends have babies while wearing an IUD we used to joke about the baby being born holding it in their hands.
Yeah, she was great and so was everyone else. It's nice to see stories that aren't dumpster fires on this franchise. I guarantee you though that if MTV picked up any of these fresh girls for Teen Mom they'd become as useless and entitled and dysfunctional as the current crop have turned out. The money derails them and stalls their normal maturity and they just become bizarre grown ass women who cannot cope and take endless vacations and/pr move every year into a new house. These kids are better off where they are. One shot and done.
Not to derail the thread, but that horrifies me. I have had an IUD for 3 yrs and have never known anyone that has happened to. I am not ready to be pregnant.

Exactly!! They really need to be hit with some hard truths because after all these years they still don't get it. I have no idea what Tyler was trying to say on the porch, he was talking all over the place as usual
Yeah, he was. But I kind of get where he was going. He feels judged. He feels unaccepted. We don't know all the reasons why. Some of it could be feeling self conscious around the quintessential "perfect family" when his life has been so different. Some of it could actually be based on something that's happened or been said. Or maybe it's a sign that he really needs to work on some things, and instead of doing that he's putting up defenses and blaming everybody else.

So anyone who was giving credit to Tyra for wanting to better her circumstances, think again. According to the preview, she is now pregnant with a second child because what better way to redirect Alex’s wandering eye and fix their failing relationship? Stupid people doing stupid things.
Ethan’s father appears to be exhausted, checked out and coming home late because he’s
having an affairtaken on a second job in order to provide for the entitled Ethan and Myrka. Apparently he won’t even answer the wife when she talks to him. I bet he never thought this was going to be his life. Ethan, are you paying attention?Hard to believe that Aden is even more checked out than Ethan’s father, but it seems like it’s the case. Except when he’s cursing Jenna under his breath. Yeah, high hopes that this couple.
If some person yelled at me the way Lawrence yelled at Lily because they were lost and he was stressed, I’d wait for a red light and let myself out of the car. Not acceptable. Certainly not the way to treat someone who you love more than anything.
I think they're referring to Tyra's sister's new baby. But by all means, yes, the previews would want us to believe it's them again.

I don't think Gary can win in this situation. I know it shouldn't be about him, but I understand that he's trying to do the "right" thing and doesn't ever want anyone, most importantly Leah, to look back later and see him as the cause of or perpetuating a broken relationship with her mother.
I know Amber did that to herself. But I still appreciate what Gary is trying to do. He's allowing Leah to form her own opinions, and she seems to be doing so. I think the time will come as a teenager then an adult when Leah can and likely will choose to distance herself from Amber, if not cut ties. But she's still at an age where I believe it's appropriate for the other parent to encourage some semblance of a relationship. In a dangerous situation, sure, but in an safe but uncomfortable setting it's at least worth a try.
Amber is different, so maybe I'll second guess all that. I'm just basing it off of being in a similar situation myself and seeing how quickly preteens will change their minds, latch on to what the person closest to them believes, and sometimes kind of get extreme with the back and forth. It's not the time to be planting or perpetuating any ideas. I'm fact, the more Gary does what he's doing, the more Leah may actually strengthen her own opinions and hold them as her own over time.

I do like Lawrence. But I was kind of disturbed that he said not once but twice that not only can he not see himself with anyone else but, "I can't see her being with anyone else."
It might have come out wrong. What he probably meant was that he doesn't want to think of that because he wants to be that person. But instead it came out as either 1)Nobody else would want to be with her or 2) Controlling vibes, like marking his territory.

Kelli did a special "happy birthday" to her, she'll be fine. Although, perhaps unpopularly, I don't understand how she ever made it in the 1st place.
They also used Brennan to welcome in the rookies then cut her.

I mean all subjective but I think LILY always looked feminine -- Brennan -- too cross eyed and scow-ly. But you are definitely entitled to your opinion!
And I thought Lily looked masculine! I couldn't get past her jaw line.

Mackenzie's mom's death is also her storyline for the show. Which is gross in itself. But I'm sure her constantly tying her mom into everything has a lot to do with the cameras being around.

Mac is just weird...from the way she talks to the obsession with reminding her poor kids, who look like they have PTSD, about their dead grandmother. The daughter seems depressed and the thumb sucking at her age seems like a self soothing thing with her. These kids have had a lot of upheaval and dysfunction in their young lives and it shows.
I'm okay with her mom's death being a big deal to her. I'm 10 yrs older than she is, and my parents are elderly, and I'm absolutely going to lose my mind and see the entire world differently when either of them passes. At her age and her mother's age it would hit me very hard.

I was a unhappy to see Gary tell Leah that their relationship "was a two way street" when Leah talked about her mom sleeping all the time during her visits and not spending time with her in general. Its good that Gary doesn't say anything bad about Amber to Leah, but when she quite accurately described her relationship with her mom and why she's upset she needs to know Gary and Christina are 100% on her side. And he's hurting Leah by making it feel like its her responsibility to fix the relationship with her mom. So many children of abusive parents lose themselves in trying to keep their parents happy and earn their love.
Gary should never say anything bad about Amber, but he can just validate Leah's feelings when she says the truth about her mother. If Leah says, "she's never around," Gary can say, "I'm really sorry about that. That must be so hard." Leah isn't a little girl anymore. She knows exactly who her mother is, and any judge determining visitation and custody would take into account her wishes at this point. If Gary is still catering to Amber's delusions, that's either because he genuinely wants to help her or he wants to maintain a good relationship with her to keep the MTV Teen Mom gravy train rolling. I hope he meets with a child psychologist to get a sense of how to help Leah navigate this very difficult relationship. And no that doesn't include that brain dead quack Dr. Drew!
Well ... I mean, he's not wrong. As much as I despise Amber and want Leah to feel heard, I do think it's important to gently discourage bitterness.
Here's where I'm coming from: In my family we have a teen family member whose mom hasn't always made her feel wanted, kind of like Amber, and everyone of course is on the child's side. At the same time, beginning when she was about Leah's age, I watched adults egg on her comments about her mother to the point where even at age 12 or so she would hang up on her mom, give her lots of attitude and say horrid things about her when around others, and all the adults thought it was funny. Talking crap about her mom became a sport in itself for her, yet when she saw her in person she acted differently.
It's never on the child to mend the relationship or keep things bottled up, but in the case I'm speaking about, so many people fed into this in the name of letting her vent and validating her that I truly believe by Leah's age she no longer saw relationships as two way streets, and I already see her cutting people out of her life left and right because everybody is "toxic". So she chooses not to answer the phone for family whenever she doesn't want to, runs away for short spurts, tells other people she is being abused, etc. If you look at her wrong. I just don't want Leah to grow up with that unbalanced mentality.

Am I the only person who found Shelby supremely unlikable?
Well ... I did like that she's not hung up on her baby daddy. At times she seemed a little spoiled, but I never blame that on the teens, just on the parents. Although hers seem reasonable. Anyway, I like her sense of self at least.

Amber: Her phone still says Gary the Fairy. The "damn good mom" speech was so irritating and delusional. She seemed high on the phone with her mom.
Gary: He really did seem a lot more concerned about Amber than he should be. I think he's a great parent, but it was odd that the conversation about the dog was really about how bad they should feel for Amber. He even started crying. Leah wasn't half as upset.
C&T: We've been talking about this for years, but I'll never get over how odd the communication style is between Tyler and his mom, and therefore now Tyler and everybody. And I like Kim, but they just yell and talk over one another, and you can't tell what's a question and what's a statement.

Just for the record, I think these over the top birthday parties for 1yo kids are ridiculous.
Oh, absolutely. But -maybe I'm giving everyone too much credit - I think of these baby showers, gender reveals and birthday parties as content for the show, most likely egged on and partially paid for by producers. While it's usually over the top, marking milestones makes sense in this context. And if anything it usually serves the purpose of showing teens that these experiences usually don't turn out the way they might envision!

My main thing was his saying she didn't look like she'd had a baby, and that's just delusional. I have no problem with her happening to be 100% what he's into; in fact that would be great (well, except she's currently taken). But don't tell me you'd never guess she'd had a baby.
Eh, they're young. Maybe he has a really skewed perception of what pregnancy does to the body :shrug:

I'm just gonna go there: I couldn't get over that basketball player saying Tyra's body was so great, that she didn't look like she'd had a baby, etc. I know that teenage girls aren't generally the twigs they were back in my day, and big asses have become much more popular than they were back then, but does anybody really think a protruding gut looks good, and nothing like the effect of having had a baby?
Myrka and Ethan really really bug me. Myrka's mother told Myrka she disapproved of Myrka having a baby and would have nothing to do with it, and Myrka whines that she wants her mom in the delivery room. What part of "I don't approve and I want nothing to do with it" does she not understand? God, I hate it when people don't take me at my word.
And Ethan complaining that Myrka's mother is putting the responsibility on his parents. No, Ethan's parents offered to shoulder the responsibility, and Ethan and Myrka are letting them.
I think he does have a job. I remember he was wearing some sort of fluorescent colored safety vest one day. So I think he works, and his grandmother takes care of the baby, and Tyra is off at school.
And what a sad little basketball game that was. I think there were more cheerleaders than spectators.
Jenna is so unlikable, but damn if her parents don't make it hard for me to hate her.
Re Tyra's body: Yeah, I see all sides here. It was odd and gross how the guy was gushing over her, but but maybe that's what he's into. And of course I noticed the same thing, that there were other girls there who were much more fit. I'll just say, in sort of a defense of Tyra, that she has a short torso (so do I) and may never look classically thin. And she was wearing a high-waisted bathing suit because of all those stretch marks she got. It's unfortunate, because high-waisted isn't going to be the best look for her body type, but considering it all, I think she looked the best she could have. Definitely better than I'll probably ever hope to look again. She also has large breasts, so the guy could've been into that?

Again, he wasn't asking about the baby coming out when she dodged the question. He was asking how the sperm comes out of the penis.
