Wedding Bells!

This week’s episode brought a lot of change for many of the couples.  For one couple in particular, Leah and Corey, that change meant deciding to tie the not and get married. Although many family members and friends think that they are moving way to fast, Corey and Leah think that they are moving at the right pace.

I think that Leah and Corey are definitely the most mature couple and they prove that through their amazing parenting but I am not in agreement with their decision. Although it is clear to see that they are in love, and that they would do anything for each other, I am just not sure if they are ready to take that step in their relationship. They need to realize that marriage is going to last them forever, or at least it is supposed to.  Yes they already have children and they have their own house but I think that they should just enjoy being a couple and not get married.  They have always moved fast Leah stated that “We have always done things fast in our relationship” and that is true. Within a month of dating, Leah and Corey 1) had sex and 2) got pregnant with twins.  Within a year than they got pregnant, had twins, got engaged and they are planning to getting married. Above all of this, they are having so many troubles with their one baby, Ali. I just do not think that they need to get married right now; it is just not good timing. According to Suite101.com “Although marriage may offer more financial stability to teen moms, getting married as a teen does has its share of negative risks. Divorce rates are higher for women who marry before the age of 20.” The chances of Leah and Corey getting into fights because of stress are even higher because of their baby, Ali, troubles.

Just in case anyone didn’t catch the show the other day, here is the update on Ali. Leah took her to the eye doctor because she is crossed eye and cannot control her eyes.  Leah asked the doctor if it could be because of nerve damage on her spin, and the eye doctor said that most likely it has to do with her brain. I feel terrible for this little girl. It seems that she can just not function, but I am hoping that she is just a late developer and that there is no long term effect.  So on top of this Leah and Corey still want to get married? It just seems like there would be a lot of stressed put on both of them if they did.  

Getting married is just not necessary right now because they have to much more to worry about. It is not like I don’t think they will get married eventually but a lot of changes happen when you are young and who knows Corey and Leah might change because of their age. I just think that they need to take time with this decision, for once in their lives.

Oh, the Drama.

Whoa! If you just watched this weeks episode of teen mom I am sure your head is spinning just like mine is. There was so much drama this weekend and the funny thing is if some people had made a little more effort none of it would have started at all.  This week Chelsea, Adam (the boyfriend) and Megan (the roommate) defiantly had a lot of unnecessary drama.

The whole situation started when Chelsea’s dad told her that Adam needed to pay for both child support and rent if he wanted to live with Chelsea. I totally agree, there is no reason that Adam shouldn’t be pulling his fair share if he is going to live there.  If you watched the show you might have noticed that Adam doesn’t do a whole lot, he claims that he has a job but unless playing video games, sleeping, and working on his car is a job he doesn’t have one. He has so much time one his hands and what does he decide to do with it? You guessed it, sleep till 2 almost everyday. I am not one to judge but Adam is such a lazy person, he should be trying to support his family instead of sitting on his butt all day.

 I find that in every case on Teen Mom 2 (except for Leah and Corey) that the parents are not acting like parents at all. They need to understand that they made the decision to have sex, not they have to put on their grown up underwear and live with it.   Maybe Chelsea just "loves" Adam because she once had ssex with him. FamilyFirstaid.org stated "The younger a teenaged girl is when she has sex for the first time, the more likely she is to have had unwanted or non-voluntary sex." Maybe Adam pressured her into having sex and now she is just attached to him because she had sex.

The drama really started when Adam text Chelsea roommate Megan and told her to move out. First of all, Adam had live their for 2 weeks and Megan has been there since the beginning. Not only that but in 16 and Pregnant Megan was there for Chelsea every single time that Adam was being a jerk to her. Adam had no right what so ever to kick her out of the house when he doesn’t even pay rent. I feel that Adam should have made the effort to be nicer to Megan considering that she 1) helps clean and isn’t a slob 2) babysits all the time, and 3) that she isn’t mean to him. The least Adam could have did was be nice to her, he has nothing else to do all day so he could have tried to be nice. The whole thing ended up blowing up. Megan moved out, Chelsea ended the show crying hysterically because she didn’t want Megan to move out and she felt that she had to choice Adam or Megan.

This whole situation frustrates me. From the very beginning both Chelsea’s dad and Megan have told Chelsea to not be in a relationship with Adam. Why doesn’t she listen to the people who have been there for her, her whole life! My solution to this whole problem…get rid of Adam, he brings nothing but gloom and doom. 

Teen Dad?

Although a lot happened in this episode I want to focus on something that really bothered me. Kailtyn has been selfish throughout this whole season, focused on “poor her” rather than what is best for her child.  In the first part of the show she fought with Jo for not apparently doing anything.. I am not saying that working and going to school would be easy but a lot of people do it.  According to www.brockport.edu 57% of students work while in college so it is not like she is all alone. Another thing is, is that it is great for her to want to go to school, but she doesn’t even have the money to pay for it let alone a baby sitter.  Kaitlyn is way to selfish and it only thinking about her self. She made the adult decision to have sex, she should know that it comes along with responsibilities.  She needs to grow up really fast because if she doesn’t I know there will be some serious consequences.

Jo, her baby’s dad,  is picking up so much slack for her. He works, does laundry  and keeps care of the baby,  and Kaitlyn will go to his house and complain about how he doesn’t do anything. As we all know she is not living at her own house, she is financially depending on Jo and his family.  Kaitlyn acts disrespectful to his parents and they have done nothing but help her through this whole thing. Jo’s Dad talked to Kailtyn one night and told her that she needs to stop causing problems because they are all stressed out, and what does Kaitlyn do? She once again thought “poor me” instead of being an adult and stepping up to the plate and doing what is best for the family.  In the back of my mind I always knew that Kailtyn was selfish but it didn’t completely strike me till something happened. That something was Jo and her getting kicked out of his parent’s house.  Jo called Kaitlyn and told her and the first thing she said is “what am I supposed to do?”. Not what are WE going to do, or how is the BABY, no it was “what am I supposed to do?. It makes me furious that there are parents like that in the world that are self centered, how will she ever raise a respectable child when she is too worried about herself.  Back to what happen, Jo than told her that they could live with his aunt in New Jersey, and Kaitlyn (being the selfish person she is) told him that she wasn’t going to move because she had school here and a job here. Braintrack.com stated “ there are 7,000 higher education institutions in the U.S. with over 15 million students according to US Department of Education statistics”, I am pretty sure Kailtyn could find another school. And as far as her job, she works at some department store, I am pretty sure she won’t have troubles finding a local McDonalds if she has to. She needs to start thinking about what is right for her child and less about herself.
