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.
