I think Chelsea is sweet and part of me likes that there seems to be a sane person in the crazy of TM2, but I find myself not paying attention to her, because of bright lights of the train wrecks that are Janelle and Leah are blinding. Kail keeps me interested because of the inane statements that both she and Big Papi say. And Lincoln yelling puta every 30 seconds makes me laugh, I have to admit. The shot of her bff leaning on her shoulder trying to comfort her while placing her head just above the massive skull tattoo on her arm made my night. George McFly = hysterical! Yes, I can see it.

I got glasses when I was 6 and wore them my whole life (until Lasik set me free!). I remember being excited too, I was allowed to pick them out! I was impressed that Chelsea pricked up her ears when Aubree said that things were blurry and took her to an eye doctor right away.

Even Nathan has emotional range: he smiles, laughs, he pouts, he is sad, angry, he shows emotion. David is this emotional blank, no expression, not even an occasional eyebrow fluctuation or smirk or even frown. He is like a robot man. Which makes me wonder if he's one of those psychopathic types who has to fake emotions around other people because he feels nothing. He will someday soon "accidentally" break Jace's arm pulling him up off the floor and then blame him for being a pussy when he cries.

ghoulina May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 He bought those friends flowers to try and get them to stand up for him, or keep an eye on Kail. JUST BREAK UP. At first I thought it was sweet. But then I thought about what was going through Javi's mind. Now I think this was his way of saying, "There, you got a night out, away from the kids. It's out of your system". But he did it in a way where HE controlled it - all girls, tame restaurant, etc. This show has made me so cynical! Well written. Barb is who Barb is. I'm sure Jace is used to Barb's voice being loud with imperfect grammar. It's who she is and he loves her. It's not Barb that's going to do damage to Jace, it's Jenelle. For the first time I think that Barb needs to cut ties with Jenelle and refuse to let Jace go over there anymore. I know Barb yelled that Jace wasn't going over there anymore, but I doubt she will be able to follow through with it. A child can be "used to" their abuser, but damage is still be done. Barb isn't as bad as Jenelle, but she's not very good either. All that screaming around children is NOT good for them. It's scary as hell, I don't care how many times it happens. She is reinforcing to Jace that when he has an issue with someone he should scream at them and follow them around and not leave when they ask. And the back and forth - telling him "no more mommy" and pulling back for a few weeks, then sending him there again - that's all very confusing and traumatizing to Jace. I know she loves him, but she really kind of sucks as a parent. Just not as bad as Jenelle does. But didn't you hear she's super healthy? She's drinking protein shakes! She's eating low carb! She works out 2, 3 times a week! Please. I had the same thought as you. Drugs. When she said, "I work out vigorously", I thought - steroids? Amped up on coke?

It's absolutely against doctor's orders to have her playing tee ball, I mean it flies in the face of what he said directly: she needs to minimize how much she's using her muscles because her condition is degenerative. This isn't a Disney movie, I hate to be the cold light of day. That kid is precious, she needs to be treated that way. I totally agree, I think all of team Messer-Simms-Calvert is holding out hope that one day Ali will wake up and run a marathon, and they can have a movie made about them with Candace Cameron Bure as Leah. I get that sometimes people think all they have to hold on to is their faith. But in this case, they actually have fucking science and technology and resources that could really enhance Ali's life, and help her maintain what she has, but this motley crew doesn't actually hear anything the doctors say. They have this "we're the parents and we know best attitude" that is actually wrong and harmful. They definitely love her more than Dr. Tsao does, but they don't know more about Muscular Dystrophy. There are so many things they can do, but just don't. They could give her a better diet, with more fruits and protein. They could take Grace and Addy to those groups for kids who have siblings with disabilities, so they can learn that they're not alone, and that they're important too. They can stop acting like using the willchair is Ali being a quitter? (Does anyone else feel like Corey has quoted Vince Lombardi at her?) They could actually do some research on MD that extends beyond the first three google results. They have so much familial support, money, etc. They can afford to help her make the most of her life. Instead, Leah's more concerned with chasing dicks and getting Grace to cheer so she can be the next Leah.

I have never dealt with a child that has a disability, so I have no idea what the right way to handle that situation should be. But maybe Ali shouldn't have to go watch her sister cheer? She obviously wants to do it, but can't. That must be really hard. Maybe she could have some one-on-one time with someone else during that time? I don't know, I know it's hard to juggle three kids and different activities. But it just made me sad for her. Argh I wrote up a reply to this earlier and I'm not sure what happened to it. My phone was being weird so that's probably it. I apologize if this is somehow a repeat but I don't think so. Anyway, I've BEEN that child with the disability. I was a little older than Ali when I got sick, but I could really relate to her feelings. Even before I could return to school, my classmates would invite me to events so I was there for "Sports-o-Rama," the Thanksgiving Turkey run, etc. I was in a wheelchair full time so I couldn't do much in the way of the activities, but I handed out popsicles to my friends when they got back from the track. Sometimes I loved being part of it, sometimes it got to be too much and I ended up sobbing and going home. For literally years I had dreams about what it must be like to have normal strength and be able to run, and those events always made them more vivid. (for that matter I'm still way weaker than an average person and I still can't run, but the dreams stopped eventually) I wish they'd give her a choice of what she'd like to do. Maybe she really does want to be there with her sister, even if it's hard for her. There are still things she could do that would be participating, like for example using her crafty skills to make practice pom poms or decorations for the walls. She could also do "seated cheer" and just do the upper body parts. As others have mentioned yes she'll start seeing the differences in what she can and can't do more and more, but I actually think that's a pretty "safe" environment to see it and start adjusting as opposed to in front of a whole bunch of kids who may or may not be kind and tactful. Or if she doesn't want to be there, maybe it could be her special night to do something with a friend or relative - something just for her that doesn't involve the doctor. I was originally thinking take her out for ice cream or something but then realized a fresh fruit and veggie tray might be a bigger treat. Also, why haven't they shown her in Choir again? Seemed like a perfect activity for her. Art class seems like a good idea, too. Along the lines of the fruit/veggie thing I even thought an age-appropriate cooking class. She does seem to care what she eats, so she might like that. 17 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2252377

Aubree has a recital/doctor's appointment/playdate... boring. Her baby voice at the beginning while looking at the saw was just infantile.

Stop acting like such a stupid helpless baby. IMO it's just so unattractive. This episode more than any other, made me weep for Jace. That poor boy.

I was impressed that little Barbara had the guts to stand up to him and throw Nathan being Kaiser's father in his face. Jenelle is so full of it with her story about locking herself in the bedroom to apply her makeup. If that's what she was doing, why would she have Uncle Dave and Kaiser in there with her? He could have been out watching the kids while she was doing it. Plus, who wants a man and a toddler in the room when they're putting on makeup? Too bad she's not as smart as she thinks she is. Aubree and eye drops reminded me of when my son was in the second grade and had pink eye.

My older brother was in Vietnam, stationed on a Naval ship (never saw combat, thank God - he got kitchen duty on the ship). At any rate, I was about 9 or 10 at the time, and baking cookies and sending them to family members in the service was very common back then. I remember helping my mom bake chocolate chip, gingersnaps, etc. (from scratch!) for my brother. We'd wrap them two at a time, bottoms facing each other, in waxed paper, then stack them in a box surrounded by (plain, unbuttered) popcorn. Wrapped and packed that way, they'd stay fresh (and unbroken) for the three-four weeks it would take for the box to arrive. (I have a cookbook somewhere in my collection published in the late 60's describing this exact way for wrapping/packing cookies to send "to the boys") I remember we'd always get a thank you letter back from him telling us the entire box would be gone in minutes; all the boys shared any home-baked goodies sent to them with all their buddies onboard ship. Note: The cookies we made rivaled anything you could get from a bakery; this was before cookie mixes and refrigerated dough had been invented, and most people were able to bake their own cookies/cakes/pies./etc. from scratch successfully. It occurred to me after I posted this perhaps using popped, plain, unsalted and unbuttered popcorn as a packing material might have contributed to keeping the cookies fresh (similar to putting a slice of plain white bread in the bottom of a cookie jar). So, I did some research, and apparently using popcorn serves the same function (in addition to protecting the cookies from breakage).

CofCinci May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I was stationed where I believe Javi is right now -- as both active duty military and civilian DoD employee. The place is like prison. Yeah, there's a movie theater but you have to watch a clip of Whitney Houston song the National Anthem before the movie. Sometimes the movies are edited. You can't relax and kick back in the theater because you don't know if anyone from your chain of command is behind you. Anyone "calling" Javi out is an asshole. It's even more difficult being a woman in these situations. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253097
MyPeopleAreNordic May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I have a theory that Leah has switched from opioids/downers to some sort of uppers. That why she seems (relatively) more on top of her shit the past few episodes (I mean not nodding out mid-sentence & fake vacuuming, for example). It's also why she looked so thin and like shit on the after show. Leah admitted on the after show that she shouldn't have married Jeremy so quickly. It was almost like she had some self-realization going on (but given what we know she's currently up to, I guess that was fleeting). Jenelle was either high as shit and/or Dave had beat her ass. Probably both. If Jenelle and David complain about Jace being there where he can hear them (and I believe they do), they are truly the biggest pieces of shit ever. How horrible for poor Jace. And shit, Jace is six and can fend for himself in a lot of ways....he can get himself food/drinks from the fridge, is potty trained, is verbal, etc. What the hell do they say around or to poor Kaiser who is so much more work? They may not think he understands at that age (who am I kidding that they'd care), but little kids take in more than we know. I really wish Jenelle wouldn't have been so selfish and would have given Jace to a family who desperately WANTED a child. I can just see her now hiding in her room high or tired from being pregnant (or both) and bitching because Jace wants to play video games and she doesn't want to share the PlayStation with him. "Oh my god dude. I'm so stressed out and David and I are playing Call of Duty right now! Go watch a video in the other room with Marissa! God, you stress me out when you're here." In some ways I'm kind of glad creepy/scary David is around because at least Kaiser seems to be getting held by someone, but damn, I worry for those kids. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253185

grumpypanda May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I know it's already been addressed but Leah is so damn stupid, does she really think Corey drafted the legal paperwork himself just to screw with her? This is typical shit that happens in court, it's not personal. Her dumb ass lawyer really should know West Virginia law so it's her fault for filing the order incorrectly. Jenelle and Uncle Dave were obviously getting high in the bedroom and that's why they didn't want to come out. I also think Dave is a controlling psychopath and probably threatened Jenelle if she tried to leave the room. There's some weird shit going on in that house. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253305
leighroda May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 For the love, I don't even understand why Jenelle locking herself in the room to put on her makeup was a much better excuse, the kids should not be outside playing by the street unsupervised even if you are locked in the room baking them cookies... While yes locking yourself in the room to shoot up perhaps does make it extra bad... But she seems to think that is what people are upset over, and it's not its the fact that she was locked in the room period. And also barb went telling through the house with no response for a while, what if that was a child looking for her because something was wrong!? One of jenelle's excuses was that weren't alone with the camera people and a security person outside, but they aren't there to watch her child, and MTV has a reputation that they don't step in unless it's necessary, I would hope they would step in sooner for a child but it's not really their responsibility. I'm sure they are decent human beings and would do it, but my point is they aren't there to care for the kids. Jenelle can lose me with the lying... I'm sure at times he exaggerates and does say what he thinks the other wants to hear but those descriptions were pretty spot on for Jenelle. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253384
ChristmasJones May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I thought Barbara was just horrible this episode. I understand her feelings completely, but the way she acted was just not right. She really needs to learn some self-control. She was not being any type of role model to Jace at all. She should have walked in the house calmly, knocked on the door, asked Janelle to come out, and if she wouldn't, then tell her she was taking Jace home and left, and then not answered the phone when she called. I am sure Barbara is deeply conflicted about her relationship with Janelle. I wish she would get herself a therapist and go to therapy off-camera so she could get support and learn how to cope better with this crap situation. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253501

I agree. No matter what Barb does to help her daughter, Jenelle will always choose her boyfriend over her mother and Jace. Barb knew damn well Jenelle was high. If she suspected domestic violence, she would've told the cops when they arrived at the scene. At some point Barb needs to exit the land of denial, write Jenelle off as a lost cause and do what she can to protect Jace. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253579
Christina May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 I think she wanted to see if David had beat the shit out of her, or if she was high and the other kids needed looked after. Even taking Jace with her would leave Kaiser and David's daughter there, and you would want to make sure they could be taken care of before you left. She made a point to bring up his domestic violence charges when yelling about why didn't Janelle want to see her. Barb's waiting for it just like us. Only, it is probably eating her up inside since she is closer to the situation. I don't think Janelle sees Jace except during filming. She was caught posting old photos on her social media making it look like she was with Jace one week, but someone pointed out how his hair changed lengths every day. If they film each girl one week a month (one of the girls said that somewhere), except when something big is going on, then that is probably the only time Janelle sees Jace, and in this episode, Barb was trying to limit it to just Saturday. It's clear to us viewers that Janelle doesn't want him, and now that he feels that way too, I hope Barb does put a stop to the visits again. In the past, she has not allowed her to visit him for long periods of time. The last time was what got her off her ass to the attorney's office to file for custody, and the attorney told her she would have to choose Jace or Nathan, and she choose Nathan because of Kaiser. She'll choose David over Jace and Kaiser because of this new (non)pregnancy, and maybe Barb will meet a nice new man on her new show who will be a good role model for Jace, and he will grow into a model citizen. Maybe become a social worker like Cate and Ty since he has a background like them. I'm not ready to cut my losses with these kids, but Janelle, Nathan and David can take a long walk off a short pier. I don't think they are likely to become contributing members of society, and are, in fact, just menaces. If Nate gets custody he may become less of a menace, since he has nothing to fight about so no reason to be causing trouble, but I'm not sold on his future. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/42936-s07e09-while-you-were-out/page/4/#findComment-2253605

starfire May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 (edited) The scene where Leah gave Addie the can of frosting and a spoon with her mom's blessing made me sick and angry. Giving her a spoonful is one thing, but letting her eat as much as she wants is sad. She's still a baby. From what I have seen, Leah doesn't care what her kids eat. This bothers me, especially when she has a child with a severe disability who would benefit from a healthful diet. I'm sure she would've let Ali down a can of frosting, too, not giving it a second thought. In the sneak peek for next week, Corey brings up concerns about Ali's weight and believes she has been losing weight for several months, maybe up to 5 pounds. He said she hadn't been eating enough. Leah seemed clueless. When Leah was handing Ali off to Corey, Ali was clutching a can of pop. Why is she even allowed to have pop? I Googled it, and it is recommended that if you have muscular dystrophy, refined food such as sugar, pasta and white bread be avoided. I don't know about Corey, but in Leah's care, the kids are constantly eating sugar and junk. Along with the wheelchair/walking issue, it makes me so sad for Ali that her condition might be worsened by lack of care about her diet.

That was just fucking brutal, for all of those kids to experience. David is an enormous guy and Barb is small -- those kids knew they were an inch away from something physical, and I think they were scared as hell. I understand why Barb lost her shit, but she should know better. Collect the relevant offspring and leave. And don't answer when Jenelle calls five minutes later. But really, it's apparent to me that shouting is part of daily life with Barb and her children. Barb must have grown up that way. Some families shout and some don't. My family never shouted so I find it really disturbing. But maybe both Barb and Jenelle believe that that is normal, to constantly shout. Whatever. I don't get the sense that Barb grills Jace about Janelle's on a regular basis; I think in her own awkward way, she was giving him a chance to tell her how he felt, like that was her way of being compassionate, to let him express himself. Yes, of course she shoudl have given him the biggest hug and told him how special he is....but I guess she just doesn't have the skills to do that. She may not have a PhD in child-rearing but I'll say this about Barb. Her intentions are good, and she has a solid grasp of what's right and wrong, and what's real versus what's reality-show bullshit. Which is more than you can say for a lot of the rest of these people. Naw, I've got a feeling that Jenelle grew up seeing the same shit Jace saw during that episode. Remember how upset everyone was when poor Jace was in the backseat singing that rainbow song while Jenelle was crying her eyes out about Nathan being so "mean" to her? That was pretty much exactly what Barb was doing in this episode. That whole scene was disgusting to watch. Jenelle is clearly emulating what she saw growing up and I have no doubt Jace will be doing the same in 10-15 years. What a horrible cycle that fucked up family is perpetuating. I was snickering when Jenelle and Dave were going on an on about what a horrible person Nathan is. Everything they were complaining about him allegedly "doing" however? Consisted of nothing more than him daring to want to see his son. What a MONSTER! Nathan is no prize, but absolutely zero of what they were bitching about had any actual merit. I wanted to throat punch both of them in their idiotic, smug faces. Speaking of idiotic and smug....Leah? Um, Corey's lawyer HAS to object to using terminology in a LEGAL PLEADING that is not LEGAL within the state you reside in, you dolt. And the only thing he's doing to your children is trying to provide them with the secure, stable home your ignorant, hillbilly ass seem incapable of providing. My god I cannot handle these girls.
