Doesn't Matt work security at a club or something like that? It seems it would be very easy to find a job like that in Vegas and there Autumn could live rent free and with free child care while she worked also. Seems like a win-win. But, wait, oh, Matt does have friends and his support system just fine where he's at. He's not even thinking about what's best for Autumn or Chloe or he would go with them....at least temporarily.

Ugh right, but your reply lumped both men together as "losing their child" which Raymond would not so why even include him. Autumn wants to stay with Matt and should as long as he can either care for Chloe 50% of the time so Autumn can work or pay 50% of her child care. If he can't, then she has to go where she has support to care for the child. I seriously doubt either man will be going to a judge anytime soon as they would both immediately be slapped with child support orders. Men get 50% of all decision making in parenting as long as they provide 50% of all support.

Why would Raymond "lose his child" if he lives in a different place than Mariah? They live in the same city and can easily have joint custody. Couples don't have to live together to co-parent and many don't.

Mariah's mom would be impossible for me to live with even as her daughter but Raymond is a LONG way from being a responsible father and husband. I would get a very small and cheap apt close to my mom so she could help me and make Raymond get his own place. If he shows he can make it on his own and help with the baby, then we'll talk. I think Jamielynn's story is one of the most interesting but it's so scripted, it's hard to watch. She's very flat when she's "acting" and it's very clear. I hear they are married now. I can't figure out why Autumn wants to be with Matt so much. He's so emotionless. Maybe he was different before. He clearly does NOT want her. She needs to go to Vegas yesterday. Triplets couple and LA couple need to leave the show. I FF through all their scenes (although I like the triplets dad because I think he's realizing this woman may not have been the catch he first thought. He must pray every day not to go postal on her or he's heavily medicated).

All of these kids on these TLC shows about multiples were conceived via Clomid (not IVF). Sometimes multiple eggs are fertilized. U.S. doctors won't put back multiple embryos if they want to keep their license.

I was little more sympathetic to Raymond until the last couple of episodes when I realized he is a complete loser who is not WORKING. Go get a damn job....you have a kid to raise. It sounds like Mariah has worked like a horse and has savings and he wants her to use her savings to move them out to an apartment (while he continues to do nothing or find himself I guess). HELL NO. That's why her mom asked him if he was ready to work if they moved out. He wants it to all be on Mariah's dime. Also sounds like he does not help around the house which is frustrating to Mariah and her mom. He said he cleans up after himself and his son and that's all he should do. Uh, if someone else is letting you live in their house rent free you should be asking if you could mow their lawn, got any dishes that need washed? He is LAZY. Matt is a complete loser but Jamielynn got what she wanted. I remember in the first episode she bragged about how she fell for him because he was so muscular, had a big truck, and was going to take care of his WOMAN or something ridiculous. Yep, he's an alpha male. And guess what, those kind of guys want submissive women in very traditional roles so they can do very little child care/housekeeping. Bed made, lie in it. If he's military, any dependents (whether he is married to mother or not) would be covered under his Tricare insurance so I think he's telling the truth about that. Sounds like he realizes he needs to put a ring on it; he'd be a fool not to. I hope most of their interactions are scripted for the show and he's not as huge a douche as he comes across. Autumn is sad to watch. She's too young to realize that you can't just WILL someone to want you. She'll figure it out. And yes, they have to get off that damn boat. That was such a stupid idea. The triplets are ok. I get the feeling they are kind of replacing that family from LA. The LA family is boring. Their struggles are over. They have toddler twins basically and an older child. That's kind of it. They are also ALWAYS shilling their books/appearances, etc. I'm over it. I like the triplets dad and I think it's interesting that he always seems to know how to calm the babies (I think he needs a pacifier, she needs to eat now), when his wife is all over the place and acting nutty. I think he didn't realize she would be such a scattered mother and he is coming to that sad conclusion now. She would drive me crazy to live with. I thought she meant she had PTSD because of the miscarriages, not the bed rest when she was pregnant? Anyway, I'm sure that was very traumatizing. I think she's just someone that has ALWAYS been taken care of completely (by her dad and then her very nurturing husband when she married young) and is now shocked she's at the stage of her life when it's all about the kids, not you. She's still trying to hold onto the spotlight. Personally I would love a husband like hers.

I think this show is on it's last legs anyways.

My guess is an ulcer.

I wonder if Danielle's meltdown was real since I suspect Xmas eve/day she probably did not have a nanny/sitter since they would want to be with their family. She probably wasn't used to not having outside help (along with the very stupid idea to travel elsewhere for the holiday).

I'm really shocked that none of the kids in these shows have serious birth defects, cerebral palsy, etc. I've know of several triplets born with horrible outcomes (stillbirth or died shortly after)...just heartbreaking. I wonder how pregnancies with 5 and 6 kids are able to have such a good outcome with all healthy kids or just minor issues?

I'll definitely check it out. I hope this one is not as scripted.

Also, I think that is a weird reason to favor a certain child.Suspect it's just his excuse.

I read on another forum that Mimi is not a credentialed teacher....she just taught preschool at a daycare.

I wish they would be honest about exactly what help they receive (nannies/babysitters and how many hours, etc.). Not that I begrudge them the help, but one of the reasons I watch this type of show is because I'm fascinated as to HOW they actually manage. How in the world do you raise 5 babies at once? But if there are 3 adults doing it at one time, well....that's how they do it then. But I want to know.

I was shocked when Mimi said she was 54. I thought she was much older....early 60's at least.
