Weekly Teen Mom Chat

[summergirl1211]

Who's ready to discuss this week's episode? 

[origamimommy]

summergirl1211, I don't watch (we don't have cable) but I love reading the recaps so I can stay in the loop. So get talking, laides!

[bliz1712]

UGH, Gary is such a puke. Did you hear how out of breath he got basically walking from the car to Amber's front door. GROSS!!! Also, as his GF I would be mortified of the things he's saying about her. I'm getting the impression that he's only with her for convenience and because he doesn't have to parent then. Oh and maybe because she throws him a bone now and then.

I love Maci, but girl did you not learn anything?? Just because your doctor speculated that you can't have kids doesn't mean you don't use protection or some other method to prevent. Especially if you don't want kids. I was surprised Ryan showed up to the party, but he just as well didn't have to since he basically didn't interact with Bentley anyway. Unless that's edited for tv, but I doubt it. I like that Maci gets along great with his family so at least Bentley still has contact with them.

I'm so anxious to see the convo between Caitlyn and the Adoptive parents next week. I don't blame either side for their points. I just find it hard that B&T didn't think about the fame aspect a little more when they agreed to it. They can't expect her to not be out of the limelight since she was born on tv.

EEEEEK it looks like next week we'll get a little WT Farrah!!! I despise her but she's like a train wreck. You just can't stop watching.

[summergirl1211]

So once again, Gary is an ass. Every week he just proves it over and over again. I can't believe his GF puts up with his crap. I mean, obviously the pregnancy wasn't planned, but to sit there right away and say things like "I didn't stay with Amber because of a baby so don't think I'll stay with you because of it" just pisses me off. Anyone know if they're still together?

Also, I feel bad for Amber and everything, but I hope she starts doing more than just crying on the couch. It just makes me sad that she doesn't have any friends besides her family.

Did anyone notice that Catelynn wasn't wearing a seat belt when they went to the wedding venue? Or does she just not use the shoulder strap? Either way, it's really dangerous, especially when she's pregnant!!

[summergirl1211]

bliz1712, Gary just grosses me out. I get the feeling he sits around all day and does nothing. I don't mean to pick on his weight, but it seems like he can't even sit up straight because his gut is in the way.

The DVR cut off the previews so I didn't see that Farrah is going to be on next week. I despise her as well, but can't wait for the drama!

[bliz1712]

summergirl1211, they showed a clip of her and saying something along the lines of "they've been shooting for this long without me and now they want to include me?" And then her throwing a semi fit and crying of course. Typical Farrah.  I bet they have the preview online.

I haven't seen this week's episode yet but I'm also curious about the convo with B&T. I feel like C&T had a very different idea of what an open adoption would look like than B&T. I understand them not wanting Carly in the spotlight now. A 6yr old is much more recognizable than an infant. And I bet they don't like being constantly reminded they aren't her bio parents.

[cbear]

Seriously Gary is just disgusting and it makes it so hard to watch because of him! I'm sorry if I tell my S/O that I'm pregnant and his first response is worried about how his ex would feel, I would be out of there and SOOOOO livid it wouldn't be funny. This girl seems nice but she needs to grow a back bone and wise up!

I will not be surprise if Amber relapses, she just feeds into his drama and likes to get her own attention.

I do get somewhat where Catelynn and Tyler are coming from but honestly I'm going to have to side with B&T on this. I mean they are Carly's legal parents C&T have no rights, if they don't want Carly in the limelight or on social media then they need to respect that. I'm sure they are doing it to lessen her limelight in life and I do respect that!

If I were Maci, I don't think I would have even taken Bentley to Ryan's parents after he didn't show up. She clearly said see you at 1:30 and he constantly bitches about her texting/calling him so why would she call again when they already had the time set. You waste my time buddy then you don't get any time!

[origamimommy]

So I have heard about the B&T stuff online, and I side with them as well. Catelynn said something like they always have to take B&T's feeling into consideration, but do B&T do the same for C&T? Well, sorry, but they shouldn't have to. When you place a baby for adoption, you don't get to be the parent. I have a good friend that placed a baby for adoption when she was a teen and it's still hard for her now, but she's not the mom. She is the birth mother, but she is not the mom. And now that her daughter is older, they have contact, and the adoptive mom parents in ways my friend doesn't always agree with, but at the end of the day, it's not her choice and it's not her place. It's a very tough situation, but B&T have the say because they are the parents. I bet they hope now that Cate and Tyler have a baby they will leave Carly alone a little bit.

[junkytrunk]

origamimommy you can watch each episode the week it came out. i hardly have a chance to watch the recorded version on my tv, so i'm always watching the online one.

[junkytrunk]

DANGIT I had this whole thing written out and then my internet pooped.

Basically agreeing with you all.

Amber is a sad soul. She needs to get a life.

[vanessalc]

HOLY FUCK, GARY! CAN YOU NOT BE SUCH A FUCKING BUTT MUNCH FOR ONE MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE!!??! OMG, did he really just tell his daughter she was an accident!? Poor kid.
LMAO, Amber. You tell him!
Tyler, if you know what's good for your physical well being, leave the poor girl alone about her weight! He needs a nut punch.
Maci, did you not get the memo about how Bentley came to be??? I generally feel like of all the girls, she has her $hit together, but COME ON!

[huskiefanuw]

I agree with everyone of all of this. DH walked in to the room when Gary was on and asked if he can even walk up the stairs in his own house.

I like how they are trying to make it more "real" like how Maci told the crew that she is pregnant. They seemed like the crew all does really care about each other and the girls n

All of this. I love how Amber told Gary to remember he was saying that kind of stuff on NATIONAL T.V. and that his GF would see it. I am glad that I keep up with the girls and know that Amber's life gets better.

DH watches this with me and he even said that Tyler needs to stop talking about her weight. I also think Tyler is more immature than Cate... she realizes the boundaries and doesn't want to cross them and lose contact. Tyler doesn't seem to realize he has no rights outside of what B&T give him.

Ryan's girlfriend is an idiot for staying with him. He is rude to everyone in his life it seems. Maybe he and Farrah can hook up and bitch at each other! lol

I am so excited for the train wreck of Farrah next week, she is a train wreck that I can't help but watch.

[sarahandeddie]

Did they go backwards with this episode? Caitlyn just had her gender reveal party last episode but now she's just shy of 4 months? And didn't Gary and his gf put a crib together a few episodes back? I'm confused!

sarahandeddie, that's a good point! I was just wondering if Catelynn did an early scan somewhere? And I think you're right about the crib with Gary and his gf. It wouldn't surprise me if they brought all of those scenes together for one episode even if they didn't fit chronologically.

This is my thought as well.  Obviously, I didn't watch them, but I have noticed this in other reality shows too.  It helps to keep the storyline flowing if they fit together in terms of plot even if it isn't in order.

[bliz1712]

If I remember correctly it looked more like a bunk bed to me. I just assumed they were putting together a new bed for Leah. It looked to tall to be a crib, but I could be wrong.

Maybe C had that early bloodwork done or an elective scan early? It wouldn't surprise me if they did stuff out of order for the show. It's been done before. It sucks, because it should just be shown in real order but I can see how some episodes would be boring.

Well they were referring to the baby as Nova in this episode so I'm assuming they already knew..

[vanessalc]

I kinda wish Brandon and Theresa named this kid too... Carley >>>> Nova.

Yuck! Why!? Did they never say the full name out loud?

[vanessalc]

I just made my husband say it a few times, he came up with "No Brain".

[sarahandeddie]

I'm not a huge fan of the name either but it could be worse I suppose.

[junkytrunk]

Well her full name is Novalee. When I hear it I think of that movie "where the heart is"

[David]

There has got to be something wrong with Farrah, if she's not semi retarded she sure missed a good chance at it. She needs her rear end spanked and not by a porn star but by her parents. They should have never brought her back just for the way she treats her parents. What kind of message does that send?

[bliz1712]

UMMM^^^  And please watch your choice of words!

Seriously wtf?? Who are you?? you obviously don't follow this board closely to see that kind of wording is not tolerated around here.
