mamadrama July 8, 2017 Share July 8, 2017 5 hours ago, SPLAIN said: I respectfully disagree. Maci complained most of this season, and last season, and the season before, about wanting Ryan to be the person she co-parents with. How can she explain away wanting to co-parent with someone who she was fully aware had a drug problem? Maci is not concerned about Bentley's safety or else she would have gone to court already. Do we have any confirmation of her having removed Bentley from that environment? If she had, the tabloids would have mentioned it by now. Every other TM cast member has their court information posted within hours. If Maci was so concerned, we would not have watched her drop off Bentley a few times with Ryan for visitation. And those drop-offs occurred after Ryan's first trip to rehab. Maci admitted on the reunion she was aware of him being in rehab and quickly relapsing. What in the hell was she thinking by allowing Bentley to be around Ryan? MTV showed scenes of her giving Jen permission to take Bentley to Ryan's or to have Ryan spend time with Bentley. Maci was more concerned with ridding herself of her kids by leaving them with mimi and pawpaw so she can have alone time to drink, party, and travel out of state to party with friends. Maci needs to start looking at her own drinking issues and how they concern her marriage and the poor kids who watch them have their blow up fights. I agree. I can't compare Gary and Maci for several reasons. One being that I actually like Gary and don't give a flying duck about Maci. The other being that Gary has to actually deal with Amber and Matt, but Maci has been more than happy to let things go through Larry and Jen. She rarely sees Ryan. 5 Link to comment
Jeanne222 July 8, 2017 Share July 8, 2017 I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about Maci and Ryan. I like Maci and can't stand Ryan. I think Maci has a good heart and does all she can to protect Bentley. I also think the agreement was with Larry and Jen about visitation. They would be Bentleys caretakers on visitation days. He went to their home and Ryan visited him occasionally. Maybe they didn't need a court order to make that happen since all were in agreement. I think Maci is one of the best of the Teen Moms. 4 Link to comment

I have to kindly disagree on Maci being anything remotely to being a good mother. A good mother doesn't drink throughout her pregnancies. A good mother doesn't complain about wanting to co-parent with a drug addict. A good mother who is a stay-at-home mom, and claims that is her job, would tend to her two smallest kids at home instead of daycare especially when she has nothing else going on. It isn't as if she has a job to tend to or a job to go to. She is home. A good mother doesn't allow any sort of visitation to occur with the ex parent especially when they readily admit they knew that parent relapsed shortly after rehab. A good parent doesn't allow their 7 year old child to watch Teen Mom and then make judgments about the job of one of her fellow cast mates on the show while allowing other behaviors, including criminal behaviors by her cast mates and ex-boyfriend, to be ignored. A good mother would have ran to the courthouse upon finding out about the ex-boyfriend and father of their child driving while under the influence. A good mother would never have allowed their 5 year old to ever be driven around by their father who admitted to NEVER putting their kid in his car seat or put a seat belt on him. And this was after he relapsed after rehab. Maci is a lot of things. A good mother is not on that list. Not sure how I got caught up about Maci when this is the Amber thread. *shrugs* Apparently, Matt is in Vegas for that tournament poker thingy. The cost to enter is $10k.

SPLAIN July 8, 2017 Share July 8, 2017 There was a time when I posted Maci is the person I would be least afraid of leaving small kids with in her care. Now, that is no longer the case. The boozing, the arguing, the drunken fighting with Taylor in front of the kids, her allowing any 7 year-old child to watch Teen Mom, god knows how many beers she drinks throughout the day. She is a judgmental POS. Amber is sending love to Bew Bew on Twitter. I guess she doesn't have time to call her or you know, visit her. 15 Link to comment

She would like to be able to turn over Bentley to Ryan for his time with his dad but she has to go through Jen and Larry who are terrible enablers. She can't win.

Conning a 25 y.o. drug addict is not the same as bluffing the pros. Exactly. Any dumbfuck with the entry fee can play. Yup. And we tuned in to watch the coverage today on ESPN2.

SPLAIN July 10, 2017 Share July 10, 2017 My daughter's friend actually won $36k at one of the most recent WSOP tournaments. One of his tricks is looking at the body language of the other players to know when they have a good or bad hand. But that is something he had to master over time. He went on to describe what it took for him to get where he is at, and it is no easy feat. Matt has been too busy conning people, creating and abandoning children in his wake, and besides, what money has he ever had to enter a true poker tournament? This isn't Pogo, Matt. It's the real deal. Quote Here are some comments from Reddit regarding Matt's chip photo above.

heatherchandler July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 For some reason, I listened to Amber's interview with Brandi Glanville. I actually like Brandi - I could not understand the constant ass kissing! First of all, Amber seemed high as hell. And Amber kept calling Brandi "sweetheart," it was so condescending. She went on and on about how Leah looks up to her, adores her, etc. Brandi is like, yeah you are her mama.. Amber thinks it is because she is worthy of this adoration. It is sad. Of course Matt had to interject his EVERY thought. He thinks he is so profound. IHe was like, no one knows this about me, but I am an author. I about died laughing. Apparently he wrote a book before his memoir. I'm glad Amber has kicked him to the curb just because he no longer has the platform to spew his bullshit. BUT I kind of want her to keep him around, I enjoy watching her get played and scammed. 11 Link to comment

Apparently, at the time he wrote it, he was shacked up this woman who ran some kind of organisation for abused kids. He made up this big sob story about his sexual abuse and stuff and weaseled his way into her life. And then, like Amber, he bled money from her. She's been petty vocal about it. None of his stories were true. He made up the whole sexual abuse claims and wrote that book to get closer to her, so that he can pull the wool over her eyes and get cash.

Yeah, if there was a cease and desist then it would be immediate, unless certain changes were meant to be made and there was flexibility in the timeframe. When I was much younger, I backpacked solo through post-war Bosnia and Croatia and wrote a book about it*. I'd been in an, er, difficult relationship (read between those lines, please) and my mom and her friends pooled their money together and literally flung me as far away into the wind as they could afford to toss to get me away. The book was published and my ex and his new wife were NOT happy. They wanted me to take the book off the market completely but my lawyer got involved and they finally decided it would be okay if I took out one offensive sentence. (Ironically, it wasn't any of the bad stuff-it was a reference to the threesome he'd had years before). I had something like 2 weeks to do that in. My guess is that the book is going to be pulled simply because it isn't selling. Scribd could be pulling it because they have limited room to publish and the title isn't generating enough sales. I have books on it and they've never taken mine off, but I guess they could. They could also pull it because there is sensitive material in there and it violates their policies. Still, they have lots of crazy books on their virtual shelves; I don't know how Matt's could be worse.

However, they're also not that upset if they get knocked out early, because of all the lucrative side games that accompany the WSOP. Do you think Matt was invited to any of the side games? Legal or hotel suite? Link to comment

When I was much younger, I backpacked solo through post-war Bosnia and Croatia and wrote a book about it*. I'd been in an, er, difficult relationship (read between those lines, please) and my mom and her friends pooled their money together and literally flung me as far away into the wind as they could afford to toss to get me away. The book was published and my ex and his new wife were NOT happy. They wanted me to take the book off the market completely but my lawyer got involved and they finally decided it would be okay if I took out one offensive sentence. (Ironically, it wasn't any of the bad stuff-it was a reference to the threesome he'd had years before). I had something like 2 weeks to do that in. My guess is that the book is going to be pulled simply because it isn't selling. Scribd could be pulling it because they have limited room to publish and the title isn't generating enough sales. I have books on it and they've never taken mine off, but I guess they could. They could also pull it because there is sensitive material in there and it violates their policies. Still, they have lots of crazy books on their virtual shelves; I don't know how Matt's could be worse. I think the publishing company is just pulling it to quietly sweep it under the rug in a "let's pretend this didn't happen" kind of way. *That book just saw a recent, updated edition come out. I'm pretty excited about that. Wonder if I'll get sued again... I bet his book isn't selling, that would make the most sense. Please let me know when your re-released book is available on amazon... I looked and didn't see it. :) 5 Link to comment
