Grow Up.

This week on teen mom there wasn’t one major issue that went on, there where several smaller issue. Even though these issues where smaller, doesn’t mean that they weren’t serious though. Also, I apologize ahead of time for any tangents I might go off on.

First of all, the first issue that truly bugged me what when Jenelle’s mom caught Jenelle and Kleefler smoking marijuana on her front deck. I have heard many claims with people saying that marijuana should be legalized because everyone does it. It doesn’t matter if you think it should be legalized or not, because right now it is illegal and therefore they should obey the law. This is such a poor example for Jenelle’s child. This might sound cliché, but for every 2 steps Jenelle takes, I feel that she is taking one backwards. She is trying hard to prove her responsibility to her mother and to herself by getting a job, going to school and helping around the house but there is no excuse for smoking pot.  It makes me wonder if she smoked while pregnant, a statement from marchfordimes.com stated “teens are more likely than women over age 25 to smoke during pregnancy. In 2004, 17 percent of pregnant teens ages 15 to 19 smoked, compared to 10 percent of pregnant women ages 25 to 34.” This is a serious issue; teen mothers need to stop being selfish and do what is best for the baby.

Talking about being selfish one other issue during the show was centered around the most selfish mother that I have ever seen on teen mom, Kaitlyn. Not only is she secretly dating another guy, but also she is caring more about having a boyfriend than she is about her baby. I don’t understand why she has to be so wrapped up in having a boyfriend. What she needs to do is focus on work so that she can provide for herself and not relies on her ex, Jo. She can’t even afford the school she is going to how can she afford a new boyfriend? Jo is providing house, materials for the baby and everything that goes a long with that. I don’t understand her being so egger to move out, she has a good life with his family. The only reason she wants to move out is because of one reason, and that is that under Jo’s parent house rules she cannot be seeing any other boys while living there. That is one rule and everything else is fine, she comes and goes as she wants and rarely helps out around the house.  How much more could she ask for? I truly don’t understand her way of thinking, she needs to grow up and start being a mother. My advice to Jo is to go to court and get full custody of the baby. He is a great father and does more than Kaitlin has ever done. 

Over all I really think that all of the teen mom's need to start growing up.  If they stop being selfish and start doing what is best for their babies their lives will be a lot better!
