I’m not a violent person, but I can’t help wanting to slap that perpetual smirk off of Diego’s face. His parents raised him to think that his shit doesn’t stink. His parents seem to revel in the fact that Emiley is at odds with her mother and they encourage and enable it, instead of urging Emiley to include her mother in the decision-making as much as possible. Although Bridget is a piece of work, I understand her upset since she’s raised Emiley alone for all these years yet gets shut out of all senior year excitement. The grandmother is the only adult in the room.
What I find most repellant (and fascinating in a train wreck, anthropological kind of way) is how the history in these families continues to repeat itself. Teen mother begets teen mother begets teen mother. Someone like McKayla should have been put on birth control (the implanted kind) immediately after she had Timmy. It’s like no one learns anything from their parents’ mistakes or their own mistakes, for that matter. So frustrating to me!
Chloe’s sister is being exposed to some horrible role models. I’m hoping having the father figure around (I arrived late to this horror show, so I’m not sure if he’s the biological or step father) mitigates it. Tricia’s sister will be pregnant next, as it appears that’s the only way to get attention in that family. There’s absolutely no hope for Audi, I mean Lexus. Maybe she can’t see clearly what with all that eyeliner on her face.
