We start this season’s first Teen Mom recap with Amber going to court to get a plea deal on her domestic violence charges. I am shocked that she got no jail time. This is not her first offense and she got five years last time. Amber talks to Gary about the attack. She regrets not walking out of the house when she was starting to lose it. I feel like last season, she straight up told a therapist that she was going to explode and he basically did nothing. She tried to get help and basically didn’t get anything. Corey is an idiot. Andrew needs to be the one taking care of the child right now. Amber is not mentally well enough to raise that child. Andrew has been raising that baby on his own even when we were together while Amber sleeps.
It’s time for Leah’s first day of school. And Amber is worried if she goes someone will say something nasty to her and embarrass Leah. She ends up going and everything went fine. She wanted to walk in by herself for the first time. Amber talks to production about how hard it was. Both of her children need to live with their fathers.
Mackenzie
I have forgotten all about this girl. Apparently, her baby daddy, Josh is not living in the home anymore. Oh and she is the one whose mother has cancer. I believe she passed away during filming. Mackenzie has Josh come over and once again discusses his cheating incident. Josh says he is “so sorry for whatever he did.” Also, “deep down” her truly does love her.

Mackenzie and Josh were back together for a bit. But they have separated again. Her mother died in December. She says she cannot watch this season because it will just mean reliving the worst time of her life. I really can’t watch this scene with her getting advice from her mother either. Her mom’s advice was not great.
Maci
Maci and her whole squad are going to Louisiana to visit family. Ryan’s new baby mama has invited them to their kids birthday party but due to previous plans Bentley won’t be in town. Apparently, their family vacation is camping. That is so Maci and Taylor. Maci tried Naked and Afraid and didn’t last long.
Catelynn
Catelynn has planned a trip to Hawaii to celebrate her fourth anniversary with Tyler. I will never get over being shocked at the giant villa’s with ocean front views and long balconey’s that these kids stay in on trips. I didn’t see any promotion of the place so they are probably paying it out of their Teen Mom check.

Cheyenne
Cheyenne’s boyfriend,Matt, is moving to LA. She is not going to let him move in. The moment he arrives he mentions that his roommate situation fell through. Cheyenne looked at very expensive apartments with him. It is totally ludicrous for Matt to think she is going to move all of her children in with him.
There wasn’t really much to discuss in this recap. I feel like they have too many teen moms. If they just had the real OGs we could get more of their story each week. What do you think? Is anyone still watching this?
I wish mtv & Viacom were not filming with Amber at this time. I am not bashing or hating she just needs more mental health interventions than she can get while continuing to film. I was really happy to see Caitlyn getting to surprise Tyler. They have worked so hard on themselves and their marriage. I am also loving this more mature Cheyenne. She has always been a great mum now we are seeing her make the hard but good choice to stay with her sister and let Matt find a roommate. My heart breaks for Mackinze and her family. Her mum was such a strong role model and certainly fought very hard.
Mackenzies mother was a narcissistic person who blamed her daughter for everything and constantly belittled her. No one should die that way but she wasn’t a good person to her daughter.
I was floored when her mother said “what could YOU have done differently”. Um how about not marry a selfish, cheating ass hat?
Her mom knew her better than anybody. I’m sure she had more inside info. & back history than we’ll ever know. I think it’s good that her mom called her out. No one needs sand packed up their ass, they need truth. RIP Moma
Unfortunately, yes. Yes I am still watching and I. Can. Not. Stop.
I think the best thing Amber could do to stop filming and learn how to cope and do it without us watching. I think her mental health issues are very serious and it is best for both kids to be living with their fathers. But how else would she make money? She has a felony so that limits alot of “real” jobs.
I can’t believe only three of us have commented on this show. This is the most crazy but real show today. It is an actual description (take away the money) of what people deal with while trying to co parent.
I can’t stand watching Ryan just sit there and pick at his fingernails while he mumbles about how unfair life and Maci are to him. He’s just awful.
I totally agree. And his parents really need to learn the difference between supporting him and enabling him. I feel for them but they have witnessed his behavior first hand from day one and have continued to place blame on Maci. It’s just infuriating.
What I don’t get is TM has tossed out Farrah and Jenelle for their “crimes” but Amber is still in???
I don’t get it either. I can’t understand any of the people who say they “support” Amber.
Thanks TT. Yes still watch this show and will continue watching hoping someone, somewhere will slap the ever loving shit out of Ryan! He is a total waste of entitled space!
I am still watching and I don’t know why. Amber ( in my opinion) is a danger to others and needs to go. . Catelynn is dangerous to herself ( my opinion). Cheyenne is adorable and so far so good. Maci is boring . I don’t care about Machenzie. Your recaps are much more entertaining than the actual show. I hope this season is the last of the OG’s. They should consolidate the teen mom franchise instead of adding Machenzie. I have not forgotten her dog pen mess. I hope you are doing well during this time in history. The world will learn from how we handle ourselves. I hope we are generous and kind to each other. The spring breakers should self isolate together on a cruise ship out in the ocean. They could par-tay without being a danger to the rest of the world, staff would not be included however.
Never watched, never will. This is one I won’t even read the recap. It just makes me too sick, too mad and too sad that kids are involved. Kids having kids rarely goes well.
