16 & Pregnant: Life After Labor 2014

[SeenYouWitKieffah]

I hadn't seen the second half of the season, but I now have feelings about a lot of those girls. For one thing, I am unimpressed with Ariana and HATE her baby's father. I like Courtney's guy Scott more than I thought I would. Color me COMPLETELY unsurprised at the way things are going for Maddy and Cody. I missed the very end with Karley, Jazmin, and whoever else but the drama with Maddy and Ariana was more than enough to satisfy me.

 

Edit to add: I do want to know more about Savon's baby's father, Mawai or whatever, since that lady in the audience said he has like 5 other kids?? I definitely missed the lead-in to that. WTF.

Wow, these girls are going to have unhappy lives. 

 

Ariana was a mega bitch in her episode but her ex totally outshone her in the reunion. Dr Drew, as always, did a bang-up job hosting. He should have had the kid thrown off the stage as soon as he threw the dollar bills. That was vile and beyond disrespectful. That kid was high as hell and could barely form a sentence. I didn't know she didn't put his name on the birth certificate. He, as ridiculous as he is, has every right to ask for a paternity test if he truly wants shared custody or visitation. Of course, that will mean regular child support, which will surely impact his ability to buy $500 sneakers. 

 

The rest of them blend in together: the girl who laughed off her boyfriend (husband?) cheating on her in their home, the homeless ones who have a lot of help now but she barely keeps in touch with the woman from the episode (?), I can't remember the rest. It was a parade of depressing stories and bleak futures.

 

I suppose there will be a second part to this?

[Gabby929]

I don't think there's a second part - they gave 8 girls their own segments and then had 4 at the end share one segment, so 12 in total.  I have to admit I wanted to hear more from the girl with twins (apparently she's sharing a townhouse with that man-child and everything is hunky-dory).  Also, the girl with the stepson seemed like she had a huge case of PPD going on and was about to lose it the whole time.  It was definitely sad to see so many messed-up futures and regrets for this bunch.  Certainly a great PSA for birth-control.

It's some shameful shit when you're wearing shoes made by children that cost more than you offer your child.

[forevertwentynine]

These girls were just so sadly pathetic.  I can't remember all their names, but seriously, these were the most bottom feeding sad teenagers they've shown, in my opinion.

Superficially..the first girl, she looked like a drag queen... a total man.  What was up with those eyebrows?  They were thinner on the show... are thick eyebrows making some sort of come back?

The "baby daddy" she had though, yeah, he would have gotten punched throwing those $1 bills out of his pocket. 

 

The rest of the girls, the ones that took these deadbeats back and laughed it off...the ones with the one night stands, they are so immature.  Only a couple stood out to have any chance of making it.  I hope they are done with this.  I'm way too old to watch this.

[IvySpice]

Arianna, you do TOO look like a fool on TV. And ghetto. And like you don't have your son's best interests at heart. It's not up to you whether he gets to see his son!

 

Savannah, I can't even. It's such a sad story. Why didn't they tell us where and how Savannah and Rowan are living?

 

Karley, Mormon twins mom, still dead behind the eyes and totally joyless and resigned on the topic of her kids. Get this girl some help!

 

There's never anything good to say about styling on these shows, but Savon's gold eyeshadow looked really great with her skin tone.

[Frisco]

Those girls are looked so sad.  How do you laugh off your husband cheating on you in your own home?  I cannot even remember these girlses (LOL) names.  The first one with those eyebrows and her hate for the baby daddy?  The guy throwing money at the girl?  Who the h#ll could even understand him.  What a sad bunch.

[geekamonggeeks]

Ugh, I went out yesterday and completely missed this. I wanted to see it, too, and forgot until it was too late. Can anybody fill me in on what happened? Thanks!

 

As for Ariana and the birth certificate thing. If she didn't put Maurice's name on Aiden's certificate, that means that Maurice is legally not recognized as Aiden's father, correct? So does that mean that Ariana can't get child support unless she goes to court? I mean, she'd have to anyway, since the courts usually determine how much the non-custodial parent pays. But it wouldn't it be harder to establish support if Maurice isn't even on the B.C. to begin with?

 

Also, as disrespectful as he is, I feel like Maurice has every right to ask for a paternity test, especially since he's not even listed on Aiden's birth certificate. Ariana can be mad about it all she wants, but she should agree to it because it'll make things easier for everybody once paternity is established. She should insist that Maurice pay for it (since he's the one who wants it) and move on from there. Did they talk about it and why they haven't gotten a DNA test yet? Maybe there is a chance that Maurice isn't Aiden's biological father, and that's why Ariana is stalling the issue. I don't think we've ever seen that on the show. It would be interesting if it was the case.

 

(I know I haven't seen this yet, but I had to comment on Ariana because a lot of sites were talking about her segment, and I found her to be one of the most unlikable girls featured on the series. Her haughty, hypocritical behavior was astounding. She and Maurice honestly deserve each other because they both sound like huge jerks. Too bad they hate each other and have brought that poor kid into their dysfunction.)

[Maharincess]

She said she would do the test but he thinks she should pay for it. At least I think that's what he said. I couldn't understand much of what came out of that mouth.

With being incoherent, throwing his piddly ass dollar bills around and his feet (in his ugly, expensive shoes) on the table, I wanted to smack the little punk.

[NikSac]

It's some shameful shit when you're wearing shoes made by children that cost more than you offer your child.

 

No kidding. And then brag about that and your watch cost being proof you could/would support your child (even though you're not doing so).

I was pleased to see that abstinence girl and her guy had reached a more common ground, when on the episode he didn't seem to think he had to do ANYTHING when he came home. Out of all of the couples, I think those two seem on the more mature side. 

[Guest]

What was up with Scott's misshapen head in that awful hat? He reminded me of this guy: 

 

[Ljohnson1987]

Why do these girls think that their deadbeat boyfriends will change after the baby comes? It hardly ever happens. 

[JayCutler]

Not that it matters, but that kid's shoes sell for $200, not $500, if they're not bootlegged fakes off the docks. Pretty typical of a hood rich scrub to lie about it, though.

[CaughtOnTape]

I automatically judge any woman who throws a huge big baby bitch fit whenever a man asks for a paternity test.  Why are you so against it?  Why the big drama, especially if you know what the result will be?  As far as the girls on this show are concerned, none of them are paragons of virtue so spare me the "HOW COULD YOU THINK I SLEEP AROUND!??!?!"  act.  

 

Take the damn test and shutup.  

 

It's not just to protect him, it protects you too genius.  You want some kid you don't like anyway going to the courts to gain custody so he can parent your kid?

 

Both girls who wanted to cop an attitude about that made me immediately take the guy's side.  I don't even care if both of the father's were deadbeats.  You didn't put his name on the birth certificate and won't acknowledge him as the father because you won't allow him to see the kid.....BUT you're bitching about money you don't get even though you won't shutup long enough for him to give it to you.

 

Arianna is a straight up bitch.  No two ways about it.  Her holier than thou bullshit was enough to make me want to punch her in the ovaries.  Sit down sweetheart, you are hardly someone anyone should be scared of.

[RedKoolAide]

All of these guys look dirty except for Maurice and even he looks like he reeks of marijuana.

I have never disliked a girl on this series as much as Ariana(with Jordan a close second). I think that Ariana would be a ragey bitch even if Maurice was father of the year. She's so mean and unapologetic. I don't see what's wrong with having a paternity test. It seems the family wants it more than Maurice. She's a miserable person who I think enjoys being angry. Also, her eyebrows looked terrible.

Jordan and her boyfriend are still smug grifters, I see. When Drew asked her how they were able to dig their way out of being homeless and she said they had a lot of help, I thought "No shit". Those lazy assholes wouldn't do shit for themselves if someone wasn't constantly giving them a handout.

Dustin was still wearing that filthy hat! How does he get so many girls to sleep with him when he looks like he's covered in a month's worth of dirt?

Poor Savon seems like any dude who pays her attention can turn her head. I cracked up when her aunt LaDonna told all her business.

Karley and Savannah look so sad. I hope there's a way to get them therapy after this. They so need it.

Aleia (sp?) has a pretty face. She's one of the few girls who seem to have a bit of common sense. I just hope she gets her diabetes under control.

Jazmine is her mother's daughter. That's all I can say about her.

Edited July 3, 2014 by RedKoolAide

[MissMel]

Jazmine's baby is just adorable, too!

Why, oh why, can't the "so what form of birth control are you using now" question be followed up with "and condoms, too, correct"? A baby is not the worst, lifelong, thing you can catch from sex. Ugh!

As for the paternity tests? Shut up about money if the father's name is listed as "unknown". In this state, an unmarried man has to sign as the father, not just be named by the mother, anyway. If it's not signed, go to court. The first order will be for a test. If the man is the father, he pays. If he's not, the mother pays for the test. After that visitation and child support are put in place. Everybody wins. Unless they just like playing the victim. In that case, again, shut up. Suffer the consequences that being the victim affords you.

That nasty, little weasel that threw cash should have been escorted immediately out of that building. I hope his family enjoys the shame that little maggot has brought/will bring to them. I wonder if he puts his shoes on his grandmother's coffe table?

I loved Aunt LaDonna! She called out the baby's father for having 5,6, or maybe 8 kids and he never came around until she went on a 3 week vacation. That sounds lovely, Savoun. Keep friendzoning Mawi. That whole scenario made me forget how sympathetic I was to her when she seemed so distant from her baby at first. Maybe that's best for the child. She lacks a few screws in the good judgement part of her brain.

I really need an answer to this question. 

 

The teeth, aggghhhh, the teeth!

[SPLAIN]

Watching this reunion, and not knowing one damn person's name without reading it here and and then realizing who was who, tells me what a shitfest this show has become and how much I have lost interest. Being bored out of my mind at home was the only incentive for coming here to even post my thoughts on this stupid reunion which are so few thoughts and much more eye-rolling.

 

How I had hoped Dr. Drew would have shown that punk who threw the $63 dollars (that's how much I counted before I stopped counting to get back to the show), the door. But of course not, he just sits there and asks Mush Mouth more questions. When someone disrespects me, they don't get another chance to disrespect me. No sir. Dr. Drew (that title is so laughable) needs to know when it is time to just tell someone to GTFO and not give them more airtime to show how much of an asshole they are. As for those nasty kicks he was sportin', I wonder if that was what he spent his MTV money on.

[Maharincess]

SPLAIN, I had no clue who any of them were either. I had to keep checking to see who the hell they were too.

And I love your name and avatar!

[Ljohnson1987]

If they didn't spend half an hour per story, they would've been able to show the other three girls too. What a waste. 

[wrestlesflamingos]

The show is paced and staged in advance by production assistants.  They interview the girls and get a sense of who has something to say and who does not.  That's how the segments are awarded.  It's not a live show that runs long, those 4 at the end weren't unlucky, they weren't picked to be featured.

[kira28]

I sort of understand the outrage of the girls over the baby daddys asking for a paternity test. In most cases the guy knows its his  kid but its considered the ultimate insult to imply your girlfriend slept around. basically the ultimate insult hurled at these girls by the deadbeat losers. However, I also understand the dumb punk wanting a paternity test because in most states once you sign  the birth certificate you are on the hook for child support whether you are the actual father or not.  Karly and that girl who was also raising Noah her step son just seemed like they had the life sucked out of them. Felt so bad for both of them (even if it is their own doing)  The dumb girl who is married (Summer?) whose husband cheated on her in their house. wow just wow. She should have kicked him out and collected child support. What a lowlife that guy is.  I still hate Jordan and her boyfriend. Leaches, that is all they are. You have  child. Man up and get jobs. Jordan talking about how she's going to go to school or something but first she's getting her GED. Duh, you have to get your GED before any college will accept you. I just see those two as living off the system forever.

I feel the same way on both these points. I would feel utterly shocked if I was in a relationship with someone and there was no cheating on my part or there was nothing implied that I was cheating, only to have the person whose child I am carrying, is now asking for a paternity test. What fucking gall! Asking for a paternity test means you are doubting me and now making me to look like I am this bitch who would lie to you about such a thing. It would make me question how faithful they are if they are doubting me. Now, I do understand there are females out there who do cheat, and I do know there are girls out there who don't know for sure who the bio father is, and most definitely there are girls out there who will lie. I feel like some guys asking for a paternity test nowadays is akin to asking your future spouse to sign a pre-nup because you just want to cover your ass.  If I had a son who came to me and told me his girlfriend was pregnant, I wonder if I would feel comfortable NOT knowing for sure if that was his child and him being on the hook for a child that may not be his. I know a couple on my husband's side of the family, whose son told them they were going to be grandparents. They welcomed the baby, helped to take care of the baby, and for whatever reason, a DNA test was done when the baby was six months old. I wish I could remember what had occurred for the DNA needing to be done, but it happened, and the grandparents found out the baby was not their son's. He was devastated. The grandparents were devastated. They were not devastated because the child was not biologically theirs. They were devastated because the girl left their son and went to be with the guy who was the bio father and basically ripped that child out of their lives for good. They had grown attached to the child and loved him. How horrible.

 

As for the reunion, what a waste of my damn time.

[Freckledbruh]

Her body language showed me that she was lying that entire segment. Yes I believe that she was keeping him from visitation, yes I believe that she got a letter from his attorney and I definitely believe that she told him that he wasn't the father. Also, I would not give her one thin dime if I wasn't on the birth certificate because if it turns out that he wasn't the father, he really can't get any of that money back. My brother had a similar situation except he WAS on the BC, didn't ask for a paternity test (I suggested it and my family was mad at me), gave her thousands of dollars (along with my parents) only to find out the baby wasn't his. The woman felt guilty and fessed up. He was heartbroken and never retrieved any of that money back. I'm convinced that she is running a scam.

[FairyDusted]

Random spotting of a 16 and….family. The trio of women that had that Baby Nova, Brianna, Brittany and the mom are going to be on Family Therapy with Dr. Jen on VH1. I read somewhere that the sister Brittany has some Farraheque photos leaked, of course! Keeping it klassy! 

[Maharincess]

I had read that the witches coven was going to be on. This group of whiny, screechy man haters is why I didn't watch Teen Mom 3.

I couldn't stand any of them. I read that they were pissed when the show was cancelled and they blamed the cancellation on the other girls for being too boring. They expected to ride the show to fame and fortune and the rug was pulled out from under them.

I thought it was hilarious.

I wonder if Nova has taken their "men are evil" class yet.
