I was 34 when I had my first and I had literally no idea what I was doing. But I agree with the majority, actually I think we unanimously all hate Jason. I understand from reading here that Kylen has handed over all medical decisions to that bum but can he even make these decisions ? She's a minor but he's not her guardian and they are not married. Jason's stupidity is appalling. Water usually does not break. They did not arrive too early. Let her get checked and see what's happening. Let her get the damn iv. I can't stand this kid. Tiarra is so dainty, talking about her breastfeeding mishaps. I wonder also how Jason has any legal "authority" regarding Kylen's medical care. As for the production team of the show, can't one of the producers pull Jason aside and try to talk sense into Kylen about the danger she and her unborn child may possibly be in? They set up scenes and interfere to get storylines--someone, anyone should have called an ambulance, imo. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127296-unexpected-all-episodes-discussion/page/6/#findComment-7433268

Kellyee May 3, 2022 Share May 3, 2022 I really want to see Jason get arrested outside the hospital. Kylen is one of those passive people who lets everyone else make her decisions. I fear for that poor baby. But I really think Jason will eventually break up with her and disappear once the reality of parenthood sets in. I have no sympathy for Emersyn. She's 18 years old. If she doesn't like mom's rules, get a job and move out. Mason's dad comes across as the good guy, but they got pregnant in his house and his wife is a former jailed drug addict.

No interest in the assorted drama going on there. Lilly and Lawrence: "What do you do all day?" If I was on a jury of a woman accused of snapping and killing her husband when he asked her that question in the tone that Lawrence used, I'd have a hard time convicting. The clip looked cut up a bit but when he came in from work, it did not look like he acknowledged Aliyah at all. Way to go, Mr. Authority. Nice message to send. Their cohabitation is going to be just a wonderful thing to watch unfold here. About a year or two ago, I read this book that I highly recommend called The Death of Expertise. The premise is that no one is allowed to be an authority anymore. About anything. If someone in this group is an attorney and says, "I know your best friend slept with your boyfriend, but that does not free you from having to pay her back the $50 that you borrowed from her and said you'd pay," someone coming along and saying, "Well, I just feel like that's bullshit," the idea is that their view is just as valid as the lawyer's. Here is a quote from the book: “It is a new Declaration of Independence: No longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that aren’t true. All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.” This is a real attitude and the poster boy for this is Jason. He knows nothing, yet knows everything. He was vicious and cruel in the birthing center. On another note: why didn't Kylen want them to see how dilated she was? What on earth was that all about? How would the midwives know what instructions to give her if they have no clue what is going on? I think the people at the birthing center should have called the ambulance because it was their duty to do that if a person there is in danger. Letting her leave that facility with the guy that was calling the shots, while she bawled in pain and could very well have passed out, didn't seem like the right thing for them to do. I cannot stand Jason. I saw the video on YT of that guy giving them money and stuff and he came across a bit different there, but in this show, he is nothing but a vile, disgusting piece of shit abuser and Kylen is a total doormat. I wonder if he hits her. Why would Kylen accept what he says with no pushback. Because she's afraid. My question is what is she afraid of? That he will be mad at her? Yell at her? Or beat her? I am liking Emersyn more each week. She defintely has a snot quality but I hate her mother even more. I get the whole "my house, my rules" thing but there is something about her mother that just is nails on a chalkboard. They're not having sex. He's there to help her with his baby too. I think under those conditions, mom needs to back off some. Her pearl clutching about the boyfriend's mom was just high dramatics rather than geniuine concern. You can tell that she expects to be right about everything and for Emersyn to hang on her every word and opinion. She's not. The boyfriend's father seems the most stable person in the bunch. Emersyn's step father is very like whipped. Maybe my first post ever but i wanted to say that The Death of Expertise is on its way to my house and my stack of books I’d like to read before I die!! I only skimmed over the author explaining how and why people think their opinions hold as much weight as subjects with 20 or more yesrs of research makes me remember being 8 years old and saying “because I said so” and with no Google in 1967 I couldn’t be easily proven wrong. But I see that behavior everywhere today and now i know there’s a reason why people show their stupidity and think it’s true just because that’s what they think. Oh my. I seriously need thst book.

Here's what I got from Wikipedia: New Hampshire The age of consent in New Hampshire is 16. Sexual penetration with a person at least 13 but younger than 16 years old is always illegal, but is only a misdemeanor if the age difference is under 4 years, and in that case the "offender" is not required to register as a sex offender. Sexual contact (without penetration) is legal between those 13–15 years of age and partners less than 5 years older. However, if the partner is acting "in loco parentis", e.g. as a teacher or a guardian, the minimum age is 18.

No. That's incorrect (Boldface mine): "What is the New Hampshire Age of Consent? The New Hampshire Age of Consent is 16 years old. In the United States, the age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 15 or younger in New Hampshire are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape. New Hampshire statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under age 16. A close in age exemption exists for partners who are less than 3 years apart, and only when the younger party is older than 13 but younger than 16. If the older partner is acting in ""Loco Parentis"" to the younger party (For example, a teacher), then the age of consent is raised to 18. New Hampshire has a close-in-age exemption. A close in age exemption, also known as "Romeo and Juliet law", is designed to prevent the prosecution of underage couples who engage in consensual sex when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both are below the age of consent. Depending on the situation, the New Hampshire close-in-age exemption may completely exempt qualifying close-in-age couples from the age of consent law, or merely provide a legal defence that can be used in the event of prosecution." Age of Consent Laws by State: New Hampshire Edited to add on 5/8/22 at 10:32 pm EDT: If you have a chance, take a look at the Age of Consent Laws by State website. 27 of 50 states have "close in age" exemptions, but they aren't all the same. Connecticut's age of consent is 16. But their "Romeo and Juliet law" is very different than New Hampshire's (boldface mine): "Children over age 13 may consent to sexual activity so long as the person is not 3 or more years older. Children under age 13 may legally consent to sexual activity with partners who are less than 2 years older."

Eme May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 Emerson’s mother is dealing with a young adult, not a child. She refuses to make the shift in her head and treats her like a child. Emerson refuses to engage because her mother must always be right. Emerson’s taking her chances at Mateo’s house and hoping to get some help from him with the baby. She’s not wrong. She knows what to expect at home, so she’s got to try something different. Hopefully she won’t get pregnant again any time soon. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127296-unexpected-all-episodes-discussion/page/6/#findComment-7443525

TwirlyGirly May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 On 5/6/2022 at 11:25 AM, applewood said: That is true but apparently in NH it is only a misdemeanor. Here's what I got from Wikipedia: New Hampshire The age of consent in New Hampshire is 16. Sexual penetration with a person at least 13 but younger than 16 years old is always illegal, but is only a misdemeanor if the age difference is under 4 years, and in that case the "offender" is not required to register as a sex offender. Sexual contact (without penetration) is legal between those 13–15 years of age and partners less than 5 years older. However, if the partner is acting "in loco parentis", e.g. as a teacher or a guardian, the minimum age is 18. NH Criminal code Section 632-A:3 and Section 632-A:2 Section 632-A:4 Thank you for posting this because the penetration vs no penetration caveats weren't mentioned in the source I used.

JeanJean May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 (edited) Am I wrong about this? Because I really want to say to Kylen now, not Jason: If you're not going to let the hospital do what the hospital does at a time like this, then don't go to the hospital? These people are working. This little pseudo Bonnie and Clyde act is not cute. If they don't do what they can in this situation and the baby is injured or dies, they're in deep shit. Next time stay home and have the baby and don't involve other people in your juvenile crap. But if something goes wrong with the baby in the process, it's on you. Sorry, but I'm pretty much just as pissed at Kylen now for acting like the hospital did her wrong as I am at Jason.

Thank you for this. I was also led to believe if the consenting "couple" is within 2 years of each other, and the 15 year old doesn't want to press charges, it won't become an issue (although legal guardians can demand a charge.)

She’s already had the baby, yet she’s still afraid to bring things up because she knows she’ll get verbally and emotionally abused, if not physically as well. His parents raised a psychopath and her parents raised a Charles Manson acolyte.
