Calm81 January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 (edited) This is purely a fantasy of mine for this very moment (obviously I don’t fantasize about these fools lives ...Just putting that out there ?) but wouldn’t it be cool if Catelynne really did go into rehab looking to get clean and change her lifestyle to the point where she takes on the “all or nothing” mentality? That would totally shake things up in the Crunchwrap supreme household since Tyler loves himself some laced brownies and liquor. The new lifestyle change would bring with it some healthy weight loss which will result in some gym time motivation to where Catelynne starts feeling good about herself again (she can’t fool nobody in believing she’s got her fairytale life with Tyler being that unhealthy) and getting in shape and paying more attention to her clothing style and ditch the Aunt Bee look she’s been sporting for a few years. Next up in Catelynnes pursuit of happiness will be a visit to a consultant with a surgeon for breast reduction, unless of course her weight loss reduces her bra size to ease her some back pain in the future...then she will look even more proportional and healthy and able to move around more with Nova. Catelynn then goes and gets a brand new hairstyle even maybe doing her original “Kate plus 8” hairstyle from season 1 but giving it a 2018 twist - that’s when we will have our old sweet Catelynne back (or the Catelynne that at least pretended to be sweet) because I’m so over the bitchy potty mouth catelynn we’ve been watching the last few years with the annoying mouth wide open cackle that always makes her look stupid because nobody is Ever laughing with her. Once the inner and outer side of Catelynne is done finishing up its positive transformation she can begin working on developing a trade - re: not passion project! A real world motherfucking trade!!! Like maybe becoming a professional horse groomer or learns to be a trainer ...I don’t know much about working with horses/animals to give real job options that don’t need four year degrees etc. excuse my ignorance. With the new trade and appearance revamping inside and out Catelynne could then strengthen her relationship with Nova because I feel like she couldn’t be a good mom until she fixed herself. I can tell she loves Nova but has zero motivation to be a mom the way that Nova needs her to be. Drum roll please. Then she dumps Tyler. Or...since I hate to see a child in a broken home, she can begin telling Tyler about all his flaws since he was so kind and vocal about HERS and makes him get healthy, too, or else his meal ticket is putting him on food stamps. Thats what I want for Catelynne in 2018. Or at least have it begin this year as most of that will take some time. I don’t like Carelynne at all but if she makes a fraction of these changes my sympathy for her may linger on her side.

meredithalmighty January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 (edited) Did anyone else watch the Teen Mom- that's a wrap new years episode? The MTV website is being funky, so I've only been able to see a few minutes. Catelynn and Tyler are in the opening segment. First, Tyler is yelling randomly about where the beer is, then they cut to the other Teen Moms. They show Jenelle in St. Thomas, Kailyn vacationing on some tropical island with her kids, Aubree is in Florida, and Leah took her kids to some theme park. Then Catelynn and Tyler are playing beer pong, and they have a staged conversation where Briana from Teen Mom 2 is asking them about having another kid. Then there's a scene where Maci and Catelynn are talking to a psychic (bc that worked so well for Amber), and Catelynn's asking the psychic if she can conceive a boy. She clearly hasn't learned anything from her rehab stay, although her hair is an interesting purple and she is wearing darker lipstick. So her look is definitely different but actions seem about the same. EDIT In fairness to Catelynn, this was apparently filmed prior to her rehab visit so it's impossible to say if she took her inpatient experience seriously Edited January 2, 2018 by meredithalmighty read episode thread 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7346-catelynn-and-tyler/page/100/#findComment-3929715

EmeraldGirl January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 (edited) I actually think the makeup is sort of a nice present if Cate expressed interest in getting herself looking and feeling better. If that rehab didn’t get through to her this time that pot is killing her, nothing ever will. It’s just not a drug that she can handle. Cate thinks she’s relaxing, but she’s really sinking into a depressive hole as soon as she lights up. Not all people are happy drinkers or smokers. I think the best think for them would be a move. The parents are toxic and enabling, and their old friends like to come over and light up (not to mention friggin Dawn!). It doesn’t have to be California ($$$), but while they’re making so much money, why not a warm, not too expensive area? Hey, and Arizona is convenient for Cate’s regular rehab trips.

This is what I think too, and I think it’s one of the reasons Kim acts the way she does towards Catelynn. It’s resentment. This was a girl Tyler brought home from fucking middle school. It was a relationship that should have been over years ago. Instead, she ended up basically having to parent both Cate and Tyler. The financial and emotional burden was squarely on her shoulders. I don’t know that Cate and Tyler have ever realized that and thanked her properly for it.

It’s resentment. This was a girl Tyler brought home from fucking middle school. It was a relationship that should have been over years ago. Instead, she ended up basically having to parent both Cate and Tyler. The financial and emotional burden was squarely on her shoulders. I don’t know that Cate and Tyler have ever realized that and thanked her properly for it. Obviously she has made mistakes and done stuff I disagreed with, but damn that situation must have been extremely stressful to navigate. I do think Cate has properly thanked Kim for taking her in etc when April was drugged out. I recall that Catelynn has stated (on camera) that she had no where to go when April was at her worst and she was thankful for Kim and Tyler. I don’t think Kim is an awful person, she is bias towards Tyler but that’s her son so DUH that happens. In regards to teenage Catelynn, (adult Catelynn is another story), Kim saw a young girl with NO adult support, who was kind to her son and concerned about her little brother’s welfare. Catelynn did NOT deserve April as a mother and Kim took pity on her for not even having the bare minimum regarding an emotional safety net. (Butch was awful but Kim was present for her kids). Her line in the sand was another baby (at the time she had her daughter’s child in her home- not that I blame her for that line), but she did what she could to help Cate. I’ve always seen Catelynn treat her with respect even though Catelynn has done some shady things in other areas of her life. Edited to Add-Further more- it makes sense why Catelynn was so desperate to hang onto Tyler. He and his Mom were ALL she had besides her younger siblings. That’s it- had she kept Carly (ignoring the adoption was best for Carly) she would have a tiny dependent being on her hands and NO emotional, financial or physical support for herself. The affection and practical assistance she got from Kim was conditional on Tyler wanting her. That’s gotta to sting especially for a teen girl with NO PARENTS (or even local grandparents) to love her unconditionally.

I just don't really see much attachment there. I doubt they talk to her like most parents do. And she would pick up all of their horrible grammar habits as well. I feel the same way. Nova is being babysat either by addicts or animals. Sometimes both. Nova is ignored by her parents because they are both so busy on their phones. If Cate is not on the phone, she is binge-watching tv shows or taking an 8 hour nap. When Cate is talking to Nova, she has her fingers in her mouth, chewing on her nails and poor Nova can't understand a thing she says. She just hears mumbling. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7346-catelynn-and-tyler/page/100/#findComment-3935705
