My granddaughter and I watch Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 together every week.
I cannot stand Farrah, but I think I dislike Jenelle even more. OMGosh, she has got to be the bitchiest, whiney-est, rudest mom of all. I hope she goes to jail for a long time, although I would hate to think of Kaiser living with Nathan.
I am not convinced that Leah isn't still on drugs. She seems to be a mess.
Chelsea is my favorite. She seems to be a really good mom with a good head on her shoulders. Cole is a good fit for her and Aubree. Adam...I have no words for him!!
Not a big fan of Kaylin, but I it looks like maybe she is going to be better this season. |

I don't understand the attraction of these shows in which women are rewarded for bad behavior. Same for the housewives shows. They are partly to blame for the general increase in obnoxious and horrible behavior in our world.

No. Parents who do not parent and other adults who allow their kids/teens to behave that way are to blame. Im a grown adult who watches the show. Does.my 13 yr old? No. And in no way is she allowed to be rude, disrespectful, or obnoxious. |

I mean, ok, but why would you want to support women being rewarded for bad behavior by watching it? I don't get it.

They are partly to blame for the general increase in obnoxious and horrible behavior in our world. You feel a hell of a lot better about yourself after every episode.  I come away with a better awareness of those around me and make sure to not be obnoxious and horrible. Has anything every been proven about Leah and drug usage? Was it anxiety/depression only? She did seem to be on something with how she couldn't get up in the morning. I teared up after the last episode. Can you imagine being told when your daughter turns seven her condition will go downhill and there is no hope?  I never thought I'd say Chelsea is my favorite this season (minus the annoying little voices). Oh Jenelle! Barb has her funny little issues, but Jenelle is so delusional that they "co-parent". I can't believe she acts like he's an object that she owns. Kailin has always been so standoffish. I know she had a bad childhood and I feel like she's trying. Her relationship with Javi is just weird. I think he's a bit too possessive. Oh, and I never remember how to spell their names right. |

My daughter also has Aspergers like your daughter and it's awesome how she's able to see how terrible some of them can be like Farrah and Jenelle. I think if someone with a cognitive disability can figure it out, neuro typical people know they shouldn't do it just because it was on TV.  |

I mean, ok, but why would you want to support women being rewarded for bad behavior by watching it? I don't get it. Because we aren't perfect. Everyone has their own moral code, compass, whatever you want to name the thing. I won't watch Woody Allen or Roman Polanski films. Polanski is a convicted child rapist who fled the United States to avoid prison and won an Oscar! I won't watch the Duggars. I cringe when I hear a Michael Jackson song on the radio and change the station. Sometimes I forget and start singing along. Knocked up teen moms (now adults) who try (well most of them) to get their lives together is low on the radar for me when it comes to bad behavior. I usually fast forward through the worst offenders. I don't watch The Real Housewives, mainly because I cannot relate to living that kind of life. So why the need to come shit on a thread? I don't get it.  |

Not a big fan of Kaylin, but I it looks like maybe she is going to be better this season. It's hard for me to pick who I dislike more, Farrah or Jenelle....i've never seen more disrespectful, rude women. And the way they speak to their mother's in front of their children is horrifying! Jenelle just doesn't make any changes to her life - she continues to go from one relationship to the next with guys who no more belong in a relationship than she does. Now she has a 2nd kid involved in her mess! Leah, the same - she just goes from one relationship to the next. She had a new guy right on the heels of divorce #2. I don't get her at all, Corey was fighting her for custody of the kids and last week's episode she was running late to school, didn't seem to have anything for the kids to pack for lunch and didn't have time to feed them breakfast. That girl really needs to get her act together. I know Corey got custody of the girls so that will be interesting to see play out. Really like Chelsea, Cole and Aubree. They're a sweet little family and i'm glad that Chelsea found Cole, he's so good for her and Aubree. Kaylin is ok, I don't mind her. Seems like she and Javi are still struggling. Funny how he's been pretty ok with Jo when she wasn't and now that she is she's rather insistent he be too. I'd think the child support and her letting Jo off the hook with taking him back to court to straighten it out plays into how he feels about Jo these days. Boys are cute and i'd love to see her and Javi work out their issues. |

Has Leah lost full custody of the twins to Corey yet? Needs to happen.
Bawbra. Oh my gawd..I just love her.
Jenelle is such a hot mess and Nathan is about as dumb as a box of rocks. I can't even stand to hear him speak.
I adore Chelsea. She's making a good life for her family.
Javi has some serious insecurities

She was so pissed when Jo moved to her neighborhood, that she moved and yet now she is mad that Javi doesn't want to spend time with him. I have a feeling that Javi can't do anything right in their relationship. |

I'm not sure what was worse: that Leah didn't feed the kids breakfast, had no lunch for them, got schooled by her own child that she doesn't put her kids first, fed her baby packets of sugar and sweet and low at a restaurant while complaining how hard it is to get up and get the kids to school, looked half baked while she drove a car full of kids AND texted while driving, or that MTV has all of this on tape and no one has gone to CPS ( I'm assuming since it would have been all over the interwebs if they had.). If you can't tell, this episode really upset me.

Leah didn't feed the kids breakfast I know she's always running late, but I remember her telling her daughter that they have breakfast at school. Then her daughter goes off on how she doesn't like any of the food in a long whiny complaint. Her other daughter said nothing about the whole thing. I'm willing to give her a bit of a pass on that one (just breakfast for the older girls). I did worry about the younger one, but she did stop at a restaurant. I don't know how I missed the packets! Everything else? Chronically late. Constantly not packing lunches or making an effort to feed them some breakfast is not a good thing. |

Leah looks like a hot mess but I don't get the controversy over having her girls eat Breakfast and lunch at school. As far as I am aware she is not the only one to rely on school meals to feed her kids.

Leah didn't feed the kids breakfast I don't know how I missed the packets! I almost missed it myself- what caught my eye was the face the baby was making. She looked a little possessed, actually!  It was one of the very few funny moments in a sad show. |

As far as I am aware she is not the only one to rely on school meals to feed her kids. Jen I think school breakfast and lunch programs are great. My problem was the reasoning behind it - she didn't feed them because they were running really late and, I think, she didn't have food -particularly bread- at home for them. The kids get up at 5:00 and don't get to school until after 7:00. A piece of fruit, some yogurt, or juice would tide them over on the long car ride. For me, it's not about eating at home or school, it's the fact that these kids seem to live very chaotic lives. After the show, I did some poking around on the inter webs, and what I found upset me. They don't seem to have a lot of stability, and Leah could make things so much better for them if she just got her act together. Yes, she does have 3 young kids, one with special needs, but she doesn't work outside of the home and gets paid $200,000 a season (supposedly). With those resources, she could do a lot to give those kids some consistency in their lives. |

This group makes me miss the OG girls! I can't stand Farrah, she might be one of the nastiest, most delusional people I've ever seen in my life, but Maci & Bentley were enough to make up for her! I hate to say it, but I think Jenelle is honestly one of the dumbest people I've seen on TV. She and Nathan were perfectly matched there. He's like a caveman. They both try to sound smart when they're talking, and it's just embarrassing for them. God knows neither one of them have the sense to be embarrassed for themselves. I have always felt so badly for Jace all these years. They are always yelling and fighting, usually about him, around him. Kaiser is getting the same shit, except he has to go back and forth between Jenelle & Nathan, he doesn't have Barbara to shield him from some of it.  I like Chelsea & Aubree, and Cole seems like a great guy. LOVE Pete the pig! Adam is disgusting...seriously grosses me out. Leah makes me sad. I just feel bad for all of them. I know last season she passed a drug test, I remember her lawyer opening and reading the results. She did take anti anxiety/depression meds at one point and couldn't function. I'm NOT a morning person, and getting up and driving almost an hour to school would have been brutal for me. I am embarrassed to say that my kids had tardy's when I used to take them b/c I have no time management skills in the morning. Not that often, and I wasn't a zombie or texting while driving them. I don't get the outrage about lunch, as long as they're eating school lunch. If not, then of course there's a problem. I can't believe that she didn't have anything that her whiny daughter could've eaten during the long ride if she was that hungry. If it's all SO hard for her, then Cory having the twins during the school week should be the best option. I've never liked Kailin, I think she encourages drama. I always have. Javi is way insecure, and then gets controlling, but she plays into that too I think. Drama, drama, drama. WTF doesn't Jo have a job??? And why have 2 women/girls procreated with him?  |

If you can't tell, this episode really upset me. I'd agree. I sometimes wonder if some is editing. Like this one you can tell wasn't given the same clothing on everyone in scenes. I say that as occasionally young children say something totally off the wall. Like for example hypothetically in Leah's situation - she says she has to go to work so a sitter is getting them from school. The child says,"you don't even care about us or get is from school on time." (Not true, she's working) and MTV seizes that as an opportunity to add into the breakfast conversation in a totally different set of events. I do not think this happened above but I tend to think over the years it has (for all the girls) to make the show more exciting. I felt much better watching this knowing at this time she doesn't have custody. Does she still have it on Adalyn the youngest with her second ex husband? I do believe that some of her situation is anxiety, but won't rule out drug abuse either - be it prescribed drugs or otherwise. I also wonder how much the show feeds into that? I can't imagine being a young struggling mom, then having people weigh in on my every move on the internet. That said, then quit agreeing to film right. |

As far as I am aware she is not the only one to rely on school meals to feed her kids. Jen I think on the shows she mentioned a 45 minute drive, school starting at 715 - and didn't it flash a clock showing 6:40 as they left the house? That was my concern, them not having time for breakfast once they got there. Not to mention can you imagine being 6 getting up and ready (presumably at 5 when she claims she gets up), then not eating including a 45 minute drive? It takes nearly zero effort to have granola bars in the car to eat while they wait to have breakfast at school. Even gas stations sell boxes. |

When kids beg for gas station food, you know it's bad.
I can't watch them drink one more bottle of fruity, sugary, pop or whatever it is. Constant crap. Junk food and candy. It's literally the least she can do for them. I get that it's hard to have three young kids but buy a bag of apples!

I did worry about the younger one, but she did stop at a restaurant. I don't know how I missed the packets! The baby ate one regular sugar packet and one sweetener packet, that we saw, there may have been more. I hate to say it, but I think Jenelle is honestly one of the dumbest people I've seen on TV. She and Nathan were perfectly matched there. He's like a caveman. They both try to sound smart when they're talking, and it's just embarrassing for them. God knows neither one of them have the sense to be embarrassed for themselves I have said this about Jenelle since the beginning. How would you like her taking care of you or a family member!! And Nathan is just as dumb. You can see that by just looking at him! Adam is disgusting...seriously grosses me out Me, too. And what about his friend/roommate. How old is that creepy guy? |

The scene with Leah and her girls going to school was pretty sad. If she got the kids to school on time, they would have time for breakfast. But we know that she is usually late, so those girls probably have to go straight to class. And the baby eating the sugar packets was pretty sad as well. Leah's classic blaming the camera crew really smacks of typical addict behavior. It's always someone else's fault.

I love Chelsea. I think that she is growing up to be a fine young woman with a good head on her shoulders.
The rest of them I can do without. I never liked Kailin or Jenelle. Iused to really pill for Leah but she has been rapidly going downhill the last few seasons. I don't get why she needed to get married and have another child before getting her own self together.

I caught up last night. There is no excuse for Leah's parenting and I'm glad that Cory was awarded custody of the girls. They never seem to be given attention unless it's negative. I'm not surprised the one daughter is such a drama queen; it's the only time her mom looks away from her phone. Everything they eat seems to be out of a can/plastic bag. When the twins were crawling she would toss cheese puffs on the dirty floor of their trailer for them to eat. And referring to her 1? 2? year old as a brat over and over again. I'm not surprised she's acting out, as well.
I don't believe for a second that she went to treatment for "anxiety and depression." I think she got addicted to Benzodiazepines (Xanax) and maybe pain meds, also (she was saying something about her back). If she's taking a Benzo to fall asleep (late) at night, then that would explain her zombie behavior a few hours later.
Janelle is bordering on neglectful with Kaiser. The poor kid is always crying (on camera) and she just dumps him in his crib screaming and goes outside so she can't hear him. I want to jump through the tv and figure out what he needs, give him some love. I feel like she's acting far more concerned with him being with Nathan for the camera's sake. I think she'd be happy if she only had him occasionally, like Jase.
I'm so happy for Chelsea and Aubrey! Cole is such a cutie and a really great guy!
And Kail: Her marriage seems in big trouble. I've got nothing.

I come away with a better awareness of those around me and make sure to not be obnoxious and horrible.
It was one of the very few funny moments in a sad show.
