Nova is cute as hell Amber and Gary part 5 million and did Leah look like she had a black eye? I actually like the purple hair buy my question is what the hell Amber? How old are you?

this-one-is-mine December 9, 2015 Share December 9, 2015 Maci's kids are going to be on this season...apparently her rationale is that "they're already affiliated with the show" so the damage is done or some such nonsense. Or maybe it's because the producers actually called her bluff and told her she can't film without them and Maci realizes she has no other options in life except to sell out herself and her children. In general I find Maci to be maybe the most insufferable of both franchises because she is seen as this "great mom." She freaked out about Farrah joining the show, saying that if undermined the great "message" of the show. But last time I checked the message has nothing to do with porn/why kids shouldn't do porn. It has to do with being responsible/educated/in a stable relationship before getting knocked up. Farrah has lots of flaws but that's one thing she's managed to avoid whereas (still!) uneducated Maci wants to get pregnant by any guy she has dated for five minutes. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1787637

I already knew that after the snoozefest of last season but watching the trailer just confirmed my lack of interest in watching their stupid lives. Amber is awful, I was rooting for her as I think we all were but she has done nothing but disappoint. She's not sober, she's not working, she's engaged to a creeper and all she does is whine on that puffy couch. Poor Leah Leanne. Maci is annoying with her "omg marry me, I'm so old fashioned I wanna do things right" talk, like if she was really old fashioned she wouldn't have been sleeping with Taylor in the first place, or moving in together. Baby Jayde looks just like her daddy. Interpret that as you will. Catelynn and Tyler, well Nova is a cute baby and that's about all I can say. I don't think Tyler really loves her and just married her so he would have material for his Instagram posts. The relationship isn't healthy. Somewhat interested in seeing Butch post-prison.

When we last left her, she was all upset that she and Taylor were buying a house together but weren't married, now she just has Jayde and she still wants to be married. How is that different? Also, the ending of the season episode is probably going to be Tyler and Cate's wedding, right? Both Maci and Amber went, right?

Tyler and Cate are pretty unmotivated themselves, but they also seem content to handle their money wisely - for instance, the older house. I think they could still negotiate a lot of speaking engagements, based on the adoption stuff. Maci will lock a husband down eventually, and her parents would likely never let her become destitute. But Amber - she has no family support. The guy in her life is likely mooching off of HER. She's never really shown any desire to further her education or pursue any of type of career.

Um hey, Amber's mom, the only way Amber could have spent the night at Gary's was if she wasn't spending the night at her own house. That was YOUR job to keep tabs on her. People that neglect their kids and then expect other people to parent them drive me crazy. Even if Amber was lying about where she was going- maybe check on her?

Tatum December 16, 2015 Share December 16, 2015 Yeah, and if I recall, Maci's mom was pretty hands off as far as conflict, and generally encouraged Maci to play as nice with Ryan as possible for Bentley's sake. I can't believe she would say something so confrontational to Ryan's parents (who I assume this comment was directed at- I don't think it could be in reference to Corey or Jo). My other thought was that it Ryan's own mom, complaining to Ryan's dad. But that doesn't make a lot of sense either, calling him "yours" instead of "ours". Weird. In Maci's book (I must point out I checked it out of library, I did NOT contribute any money towards Maci's inflated ego) she really puts down Ryan's parents, and has an animosity towards them I've not seen before in the show, basically blaming them for raising such an irresponsible slacker and enabling him to continue in that direction, and hinting that she wants to limit their time with Bentley so they don't make the same mistake with him. While I think she has a valid point to some degree, that was pretty bitchy of her to put that in a book where they can't defend themselves, and particularly if she never confronted them directly about it and let them find out with everyone else when they read her book (or were told about it).

Wow, I would have never guessed that from the show. I remember thinking what I great relationship Maci has with Ryan's parents and how she must sometimes wish Ryan was more like his father. I think the funniest part of last season was Ryan's dad saying Ryan and Taylor should do a nude spread (this was after Maci went on a rant about Farrah doing porn) titled "Maci's baby daddies". That being said, I think Maci is putting too much of Ryan's faults on his parents. Maci's parents seem nice and I would imagine they did not raise their daughter to have to oops! pregnancies by the time she hit her mid twenties. However, blaming all of Maci's problems on them at this point wold be enabling and that is what she is doing to Ryan. I think Maci's anger is that no one could get Ryan to love her and treat her with respect. Yeah, his parents should have raised him better, but she also should have made him wrap it up, before he got with her. She was young then, so I give her a pass, but she did the same thing again (after giving paid lectures at school campuses on how to avoid unwanted pregnancies). 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1807601

Maci has gone on record several times basically saying she and Ryan had this fairy tale love, that all came to a screeching halt when Bentley came along. Maci has more than once indicated the stresses of parenting ruined her relationship with Ryan, rather than admit the likely truth that without a pregnancy, they would have likely gone on their separate ways before Maci even graduated high school. I think Maci still believes that if she hadn't gotten pregnant in high school, she and Ryan would have remained together, happily, she would have gotten her degree, they would have gotten married, and had planned kids, and that Ryan would have been a better father and co-parent to her if the timing had just been better. I am guessing Ryan likely instigated sexual activity, probably balked at putting on a condom, and then took off after the mess that HE mostly caused. (Yes, Maci could have said no glove, no love, but given that Ryan was the older one and more experienced, and likely more invested in having sex than Maci was, I put the blame more on him than her). So she likely has unprotected sex way more for his sake than her own, and then he takes away this brilliant love they had as a direct result of her putting his feelings before hers. That's a bitter pill to swallow. As loathsome as I generally find Maci, I totally get her anger at Ryan. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1807669
qtpye December 16, 2015 Share December 16, 2015 Don't get me wrong, Maci's anger at Ryan is justified. I just did not expect her to go in so hard on her in laws when they seem so friendly on the show. Ryan's parents absolutely coddle and enable Ryan's behavior, but they are great grandparents to Bentley. I am guessing Ryan likely instigated sexual activity, probably balked at putting on a condom, and then took off after the mess that HE mostly caused. (Yes, Maci could have said no glove, no love, but given that Ryan was the older one and more experienced, and likely more invested in having sex than Maci was, I put the blame more on him than her). So she likely has unprotected sex way more for his sake than her own, and then he takes away this brilliant love they had as a direct result of her putting his feelings before hers. This is a horrible thing for a teenage girl to go through. However, she has put herself in the exact situation once again with another guy. I do not get the feeling Taylor wants to marry her. I also do not believe she got pregnant by accident. For some reason, Maci is one of those women who think having a guy's baby will make the guy love her. It was understandable when she was a teenager, but insane that she repeated the exact same actions again. As messed up as Ryan is, at least he had a job as a diesel mechanic when he got her pregnant. Taylor has no prospects other then mooching off Maci. He practically forced her to buy (another) house so he could have his man cave and admitted he would only buy her a ring if it was related to the show. I know it seemed like he was joking, but I think there was more then a grain of truth to his words. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1807689
truelovekiss December 16, 2015 Share December 16, 2015 Yeah, and if I recall, Maci's mom was pretty hands off as far as conflict, and generally encouraged Maci to play as nice with Ryan as possible for Bentley's sake. I can't believe she would say something so confrontational to Ryan's parents (who I assume this comment was directed at- I don't think it could be in reference to Corey or Jo). My other thought was that it Ryan's own mom, complaining to Ryan's dad. But that doesn't make a lot of sense either, calling him "yours" instead of "ours". Weird. In Maci's book (I must point out I checked it out of library, I did NOT contribute any money towards Maci's inflated ego) she really puts down Ryan's parents, and has an animosity towards them I've not seen before in the show, basically blaming them for raising such an irresponsible slacker and enabling him to continue in that direction, and hinting that she wants to limit their time with Bentley so they don't make the same mistake with him. While I think she has a valid point to some degree, that was pretty bitchy of her to put that in a book where they can't defend themselves, and particularly if she never confronted them directly about it and let them find out with everyone else when they read her book (or were told about it). Considering how Maci immediately backed down when confronted by Farrah, I find it pretty unlikely that Maci ever expressed her anger to Jen and Larry directly. Wonder if there will any fallout from that? I think it's possible it could have been Jen talking to Larry. Sometimes like if my mom is annoyed at me, she'll refer to me as "YOUR daughter" to my dad. It's usually as a joke though. That was kind of a low blow from Maci, but then again, no one would ever accuse her of having great character to begin with. Ryyyyyn is no peach, but what exactly makes her super woman? She's always had a lot of help and babysitters for Bentley, her parents are stable and supportive. While she has done a large part of the Bentley raising, I wouldn't say she's done an exceptional job. Moving him away from his whole family so she can live with her boyfriend is one example. I think Maci's anger is that no one could get Ryan to love her and treat her with respect. Yeah, his parents should have raised him better, but she also should have made him wrap it up, before he got with her. She was young then, so I give her a pass, but she did the same thing again (after giving paid lectures at school campuses on how to avoid unwanted pregnancies). Maci seems like a girl that isn't so much into having a partner to love and share her life with, but someone to just kind of fill in the suit at her imaginary wedding. And I think she wants to feel loved, adored and special. It's not so much that I think she's still in love with Ryan, but I think she is bitter that he doesn't love her and spend his days pining for her, plotting to get her back. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1807901

Ryan's parents absolutely coddle and enable Ryan's behavior, but they are great grandparents to Bentley. Agreed. I think it's quite likely that Ryan's parents spoiled him and that's a large part of how he is now. However, he is a grown man and can choose to change himself if he so desires. Also, I think it's quite likely that his parents realize the mistakes they made and aren't necessarily going to pass anything on to Bentley. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1808167

WhosThatGirl December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 I think Ryan's dad tries to be more firm with him than his Mom does, though. I think there have been many times where Ryan's father has just stared at him- last season, when Larry was trying to have a real dad talk with him while they were at a restaurant and Ryan didn't like where the talk was going and left, Larry seemed to be miffed by it- I think his Mom does everything for him. I think Maci's parents are done appearing on the show. I hardly remember her Dad being on, maybe just her original episode. But her Mom was on a lot and I liked her Mom a lot. Her mom seemed to encourage her to have a devils advocate approach to dealing with Ryan and seemed to roll her eyes at her daughter's nonsense. I remember a conversation when Maci said something about how her parents need to trust her more and her Mom was like, "We did and Bentley happened". 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1812545

qtpye December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 Sadly, I think Ryan's mother is caught in viscous cycle. She brought Ryan up like the handsome little prince he is and is realizing her mistake. She is also sick of his shit, but knows that he will never step up and be a father. This could cost him visitation rights with Bentley. If Ryan loses visitation rights with Bentley, then she will not be able to see her precious baby grandchild (I think grandparents virtually have no rights to the children). She is probably really worried about Bentley now as he is getting used the latest in Maci's revolving door of boyfriends and a new baby sister. Is anyone else shocked at how trashy Maci looks in the trailer? She used to be a cute girl and I have nothing against tattoos, but for some reason she is looking rather rough. I guess raising two small children, pretending to get a degree, and forcing a guy to marry you can be stressful. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1813030
Tatum December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 I agree Jen has spoiled the shit out of precious baby boy, much more so than Larry. Sadly enough, it appears that Ryan doesn't even show her much respect. Does anyone remember the episode where Ryan's girlfriend made some comment that Ryan is only polite to Jen when he's asking her for money? And why Jen is giving her 26 year old son handouts while he lazes around the house drinking his energy drinks (which don't appear to be giving him much energy), and answering his parents with monosyllabic grunts is a mystery to me. Ryan is not even 30 and nowhere near as attractive as he used to be. He might want to work on developing some social skills or a personality because he's not going to be able to count on his looks for much longer. Is anyone else shocked at how trashy Maci looks in the trailer? She used to be a cute girl and I have nothing against tattoos, but for some reason she is looking rather rough. I think Maci has been on a decline for awhile. I would never say she was a gorgeous, but when she had the strawberry blond short bob and made an effort to get dressed every day (I think the first season of TM), she was really cute, I thought. Her face is too petite for long hair which always looks straggly anyways, and the ripped camo look or oversized sweats is not flattering. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/35493-watch-a-trailer-for-season-5-of-teen-mom/#findComment-1813117
