I’m two episodes behind, once again but I just wanted to chat with you briefly about Teen Mom. It looks like I might have missed an episode or I opened these in the wrong order. I have to tape reruns at odd hours. It looks like a missed an episode with a big fight between Javi and Kail in front of the boys. So sad.
Leah
It looks like the girls passport didn’t come so the trip to Mexico is now a trip to California. The girls decided to swimming while Leah was on the phone and no one was with them except production. Ali manages to be the boss once again and refuses to wear her life jacket. They say she has to wear it and then they give in. She is also supposed to be in a helmet but she won that fight long ago.
Later we see the girls at the dinner table. I didn’t even know they had a dinner table. It looks like Leah is going to feed the girls. She does this by opening a can of soup and pouring it straight from the can into their bowls. Um, progress?
The first thing they do when they get to California is yoga on the beach. Odd choice. We also see the girls go to a water park. Leah mentioned that it’s just 12 minutes from Disneyland. We are given no indication they went to Disney. Maybe they did and just couldn’t film it. It seems very odd to go from West Virgina to 12 minutes from Disney and just go to some random water park. Later we see Leah and her friend go out for BBQ. I assume the girls are in the hotel room picking crumbs out of the carpet again. They talk about Ali and Leah gets emotional.
Kailyn
Apparently, Javi showed up at Kail’s house with some friends without calling. Why would he do that?
Jo and Javi get together to take the boys out for ice cream, and to talk. Wow apparently Kail texted Jo to come get Isaac and take him for the week after the fight with Javi. Jo said that Isaac was really upset. Jo and Javi agree to be sure the kids are left out of the drama.
On the second episode, Isaac goes to his first day of first grade. This means we have been watching this show way too long. Jo and Kailyn take him together and then just basically drop him at the curb.
Jo’s future bride, Vee has finally had enough of Kail. It is starting to be sort of a sister wifey situation and I don’t blame her. But I don’t think messing with the custody agreement would fix what is bothering her.
Chelsea
It’s Aubree’s first day of first grade. I feel like we just did this. Chelsea has decided to get married to Cole as scheduled but to postpone the actual ceremony and reception for a year. The event will be on their one year anniversary so they can focus on the baby. I don’t see the point, but whatever.
Adam shows up to Aubree’s ball game. She barely acknowledges him. Chelsea says that he only comes if MTV is filming the game and that he never calls her.
Chelsea has a bachelorette party at a cabin. After she drops Aubree off with her mother, the girls on the trip stick a blow up doll with a penis in the spot where Aubree was sitting. Let the games begin.
Jenelle
This relationship with David is kind of skeevy. I almost feel sorry for Jenelle. They find out that the baby is a girl. Jenelle says that means she can stop having babies. Praise the Lord. Then David seems to say the want to try again for a boy. Please no.
We finally get to see the donut at a restaurant where Barb and the boys are told Jenelle is having a girl. No one seems very excited. Jenelle announced it on the internet the day before and Barb found out at work from her fellow WalMart employees. I thought she quit that job. Maybe she still keeps working a bit for the insurance. WalMart gives even part-time employees insurance. I’ve actually thought about picking up a few hours there just for that.
I swear I only watch this show for “the donut” and Javi. Why on earth would Nathan ever want to get back with Jenelle? It’s crazy how much time Jenelle and David spend talking about Nathan. Oh and Jenelle and David announced recently that they are engaged. Oh joy.
I know we’ve talked plenty of times about these reality show participants exploiting their special needs children. But I swear, I kind of wish Leah was a little more like that with Ali. Maybe not exploit-y but at least being more awareness-y with it. She just acts like nothing is going on. I wish that she could have made it her mission to be the face of teen moms with special needs kids.
Um I don’t think parents of special needs kids would care what a teen mom from West Virginia who can’t even heat up a can of soup thinks.
She’s the poster child for how not to parent any child. The way she ignores all the doctor’s orders about her helmet and wheelchair is exactly what not to do.
Oh ya! I’m totally aware that she’s not capable but this is just possibly one of the only situations where I wish we could see more about Ali’s care and the struggles of raising a child who needs this level of care especially from such a young mother. In her very early episodes Leah really used to seem like she had a decent head on her shoulders.
There’s no excuse for feeding them cold soup. She could have least put in the microwave. I wish Corey would take them .
Umm, the cold canned soup can cause botulism! Unacceptable and maddening. Ugh!
Cold canned soup is not dangerous. It’s just irresponsible parenting.
Yeah, I guess cold canned soup is the least of their problems. I would think that Dr. Drew would be a mandatory reporter for CPS. IDGI!
I’m waaay behind on my shows so thanks for recaps.
Since Leah had her meeting with “the bosses” before the last reunion to complain about her edit, all her talking seems so fake and only to sound like all she does is obsess over the well being of her kids. I CALL BULLSHIT!! But that’s just me. ?
I totally agree. She’s unfit.
All they is what they want you to see. Stop talking about the girls as if all of y’all live in their homes. Get a freaking life.
Maybe it’s just me, but you’d think that Leah would go out of her way to fix good meals for the kids, especially since she’s been criticized in the past for not feeding them properly and knows the cameras are filming. Is she that clueless? Apparently so. I still have kind of a soft spot in my heart for Leah though – she has an awful lot on her shoulders for someone so young – having a handicapped person to take care of is hard work and takes a real psychological toll on you, especially for someone so young and still pretty immature. The thing I don’t understand with quite a few of the Teen Moms is that they still act like pregnancy is a surprise. But you know what? You get horny, the penis goes here, and this happens, and babies come, unless you use BIRTH CONTROL!! Even my 11-year-old granddaughter knows that.
It’s none of anybody business what they do with there kids leave them alone
I agree, English Rose, Leah does have a lot on her plate. Little Addie is a pistol. I worry about Alli when she is walking around. Hopefully this is Jenelle’s last child. That weird David wants a son! He already has one he is not allowed to see. Chelsea wanting a big wedding later so she’ll look good in photos is silly. Kailyn and those tattoos is just gross. Vee better put her foot down now that Kailyn has her as a free babysitter. Word on the street is that the girls are given $25K for having a child. Just disgusting.
I had alot of respect for kal, but the things she has pulled lately have really changed the way I think about her. How deat her screw around on her husband while he is deployed and then try to hide her baby bump grom everyone.. What kind of mother is she. I think both fathers need to gight for full custody of their kids. She has lost her focus on what is important. Hpw dear you Kal for keep Issac away from Javi, that man was an important par for his life. Thanks for being a great dad n letting Issac see Javi.
Shame on you Kal, I have lost all respect for you.
I’m pretty sure she not pregnant. That’s a rumor only. She keeps saying she’s not. Gotta believe it for now.
Watching the episode that I missed now. I do not know why this is the first time I have thought about the kids growing up and watching the show. I was thinking about Javi and Isaac and how Isaac will have a record of how much Javi did for him.
Then I started thinking about some of the other kids watching the show when they are old enough to understand. And it was sad.
Also, I think I can recap Teen Mom in Real Time now that Celeb Apprentice is over.
It is sad! I like how some yahoo up there is commenting to leave this girls alone. How do you think they have roofs over their empty heads??
Leah still seems medicated. Feeding those children soup directly from a can is unbelievable.
I hate Kailyn’s tattoos, too, but what really sucks is she allows her out of control emotions to override what’s best for Isaac. So selfish. It’s hard to call these girls immature anymore, they’re all well into their 20s with multiple children.
I almost feel sorry for Jenelle. She’s going to have a miserable life at this rate. Ugh.
BTW, I got a full screen, screaming security warning earlier today that was really just idiot bait. Sorry if this is fodder for the deplorables, but thought you’d like to know in case you need to address it w/ your ad co.
Leah definitely still looks high as a kite. There’s shot after shot of her where her pupils are pinpointed. I totally agree that you would think after all the criticism she has received in the past she would at the very least play it up for the cameras and cook, but nope open can of soup and dump it straight into bowls cold. It’s not like she lacking in the time department.
I think kailyn is trying to ” recapture” her youth and she’s acting like an immature teenager, you have to put your children first.
I think chelseas decision to postpone the actual ceremony is fine. If she doesn’t want to be pregnant during the party/reception that’s her choice.
Jenelle: oh good gosh, what to say about that girl?!? She just doesn’t get it. She meets these men then deciedes to have a baby with them without REALLY knowing them. She and David won’t last and she will be in the same boat with David a yr from now as she’s in now with Nathan. Ultimately it’s their lives, their the ones who must live it and learn life’s lessons. They are just providing us some comic relief in the process.
Hi Dee! Thanks for commenting. You may or may not want to change your nic. We’ve had some Dees here in the past and you might not want to be mistaken for some of those “Dees” but that is entirely up to you!
I wonder, does Janelle come up with a reason(and cash) for these guys to stop working and hang with her all day. They clean, cook and babysit. Fascinating. Hmm.
Since tomorrow night is a special about “most explosive moments”, kinda wondering if it’s payback for all the cast complaining about editing.
