THe bf is a year older than Kayla. She wants to kick the bf out if he can't pay her rent. If he has to work full time then Kayla can't finish school because he does come home to take care of the child. From what I can tell Kayla and the by don't ask for any support (diapers, forumla etc) from either sides of the family. For Kayla's mom to ask for rent...that is just rediculous in my book. The boyfriend is providing for his child and at such a young age. If I was her mother that would suffice with me. Or instead of paying for rent he can do things around the house that needs to be taken care of.

There have been two other girls who put their children up for adoption. One girl was forced by her parents and the other girl gave her daughter to her aunt and uncle, but then had a change of heart and took the baby back, and theeeen decided to give the baby back to her aunt and uncle.

i felt so bad for ashley even though she had tons of support from her mom. she was an example for anyone in that kind of situation and how they should react. i think the fact that ashley and her daughter's father were estranged made it a lot harder. the kind of support you get from your mother, no matter how supportive, cant come close to the support you get from your spouse/BD/boyfriend/ect.

I agree with you on the latest installment of 16 and Pregnant. I don't think I have missed any of the back episodes on the girls and their relationships with their parents. There have been obvious cases where the Mom is still on / or currently seeking some rehab program to kick an addiction. There have been some Moms whose internal elevator does NOT travel to the top floor (i.e. pretty stupid, poorly educated people). I've also noted the over-indulgent parents who, in the end, are not doing the teen Moms any favors in the long run.

Never though, have I come out of watching one of these episodes SO disturbed. This chick who is suppose to be Kayla's Mom is an absolute disgrace. The endless broken promises she was making to Kayla were just heart-wrenching. She's too busy with her new boyfriend?! Are you KIDDING me?! Unless you folks have better eyesight than me, I would swear he was certaintly no Brad Pitt material. It is SO evident that Kayla has very REAL self-esteem problems. She's freaking riddled with them! She needs a supportive Mother to guide and direct her. This bag of garbage wants nothing to do with a situation she assisted in making possible.

She couldn't put her mind at rest over how many diapers would be needed, what immediate items for the baby's room would be required upon home-coming, issues arising from an inability to breast feed? Good God!!! She was too freaking lazy to get out of her bed to investigate whether or not Kayla's water had broke. I mean, GASP!!!!

This young girl is very lucky to have the boyfriend she has. I was dreading a follow-up to the story that he had left her. Talk about putting some one out on the ledge! His parents must be heartbroken about him giving up college and finding himself busy with Baby Daddy issues. In the meantime, Mom waltzes in and, as part of a bonding experience for her and Kayla, she recommends that they go on a DIET together?! WHAT?! You say this to pretty much a child who has just HAD a child and who has already been hospitalized for an eating disorder?! Talk about having no feelings.

Then, the UTTER gall to charge those kids $300 to live there?! Are you messing with me Mom?! Aren't I YOUR financial responsibility until I reach 18?! I mean, what the heck is that woman thinking?! I really hope she has been getting scalded alive on the multiple blogs out there. She is truly one of the worst Moms I have ever seen. Calling her selfish and disengaged is being too generous. She is a monster. Karma, Sistah, it'll get you every time - and man, but there is a WHOPPER coming for you!!!!

Just because a girl is pregnant at 16 doesn't mean she's a *****.

As a 16 year old teenage guy, i will say this, F%@# MTV (Crap) and 16 and pregnant, the way i look at it is that, they put these sluts on the pedestal, air them on that stupid channel, and to me, this is embarassing the American youth, because im pretty sure by now most of the other countries think that this crap is in our culture. That False reality BS on MTV isnt the life of an Average American teenager (like me). I guess we arent people that do fun teenager things with friends and read books anymore, i guess we are idiots and morons that all we want to do is party, have sex, and get babies when we never even left highscool, and no job. (oh yeah, i know im doing this at the wrong time cause its tuesday and its 12 noon here, but i start school tommorow cause i just moved to a new state, but whatever, dont mind, just read my comment)
