Ugh Farrah is horrid.

She's so nasty and when it doesn't go her way, she turns on the waterworks.

The way she speaks to people is utterly disgusting!!

I know IABU to even watch it but I can't be the only one to hate her attitude, can I?

Gary seems controlling. But that's understanding. Amber is very erm, fragile.

Amber's temper in the earlier series was always alarming. She's clearly a very unhappy soul with a lot of demons. Think she had a very bad relationship with her mum growing up.
What are your thoughts on Barb and Jenelle from teen mom 2?

Lemonnaise · 09/06/2017 12:05

Has anyone heard of all this talk about Amber making a porn movie? What on earth is she thinking?

patronsaintofglocks · 09/06/2017 12:05

Hi xx where can I watch this?

Lemonnaise · 09/06/2017 12:08

Teddy, I absolutely love Barbara. Jenelle makes my blood boil the way she treats her. If it wasn't for her mother, Jace would probably have ended up being in the care system.

I think Janelle is one of the most abusive people I've ever seen, although she tries to play the victim at all times.

angryladyboobs · 09/06/2017 12:08

Barb and jennelle, oh no no no I couldn't deal with that at all, they were both insane!!

I don't think Barb is the saint he tries to make herself out to be - always appeared controlling and critical. No, Jenelle isn't perfect but I don't think her mum is that great either.

I also don't think Gary was controlling - Amber was violent towards him in the early series and I think she treated him appallingly.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 09/06/2017 12:10

Yesterday naptime I watched Being Debra, Teen Mom OG andthe recap with Nessa thing with Barb and Debra on Grin What a nap!

I really like Barb and feel bad for her. Debra is a car wreck. Farrah is vile but I do feel bad for her - what else do you expect given her parents? And I think she is genuinely trying to distance herself from her family and make a better family for Sophia, BUT she is disgusting to various people eg Simon, that staff member she fired last season (or season before?)

Can't fault Maci

Amber is very annoying and attention-seeking, with the trying on the wedding dresses and being all dramatic about how damaged she is.... ugh

Love Catelynn and Tyler, again think they're doing amazingly given their parents. Never understood how Tyler's mum was ever with Butch??? She looks so sensible and conservative.

My fave ever is Chelsea from TM2 though :D :D

angryladyboobs · 09/06/2017 12:17

There was one from ages ago but I've forgotten her name, she was lovely.

LuckyAmy1986 · 09/06/2017 12:18

Deborah's rap video is so cringy! if you need a laugh definitely look it up. I love Chelsea from teen mom 2, think her husband Cole is just dreamy! He seems like such a nice guy too.

Barb and Jenelle are both crazy. Jenelle is horrible don't get me wrong but I couldn't have Barb as my mother.

Wasn't there a Brianna on Teen mom 3, did anyone watch that? I also watched teen mum uk. Yes I am a teen mom addict!

Wasn't Catelynn's mum also a drug addict and alcoholic and abusive when she was growing up?

angryladyboobs · 09/06/2017 12:20

Chelsea and Kailyn

OP posts:
Teddy6767 · 09/06/2017 12:24

Yes catelynn's mum was a crack addict and alcoholic when she was growing up. Same with Butch. Think Amber and Kailyn's mums we're both addicts too.

I'll have to go check out the rap video now. Why on earth is she becoming a rapper haha, so embarrassing!

Jenelle needs some serious anger management. Can't work out if her boyfriend David is good or bad for her. I think Barb did a great thing bringing up Jace and helping Jenelle out so much. She does seem very domineering though and would drive me mad if she was my mum. She definitely means well though.

I didn't like a couple of episodes ago where Amber started crying in the car because Leah had only made something at school for Gary and not her. She'll end up giving Leah a guilt complex about living with Gary.

I just googled Brianna and she was on Teen mom 3. She's pregnant with her second child.

What are your thoughts on Kailyn and Leah?

Teddy6767 · 09/06/2017 12:30

Just watched Deborah's rap video. I have no words......

LuckyAmy1986 · 09/06/2017 12:31

I know I can't work David out either. He seems ok but she does have a bad track record with men! Yes props to Barb for raising Jace for sure.
Yes Amber needs to not show those kind of feelings in front of Leah, I thought that was a bit childish.

I have always enjoyed watching Kailyn, she just seems to lose her shit so easily but she seems like a great mum to be honest. But I liked Javi a lot too.

I always thought Leah was a bit of a mess but she has been through a lot and seems to have come out the other side, definitely seems like she has got her life together now. Jeremy is a twat!

LuckyAmy1986 · 09/06/2017 12:31

Awful isn't it?! I don't know who thought that was a good idea..

Notso · 09/06/2017 12:31

The episode I just watched Amber was asking Leah about Christmas decorations she made at school and when Leah said she only made one Amber was like what about me, doesn't Mommy matter too or something. I felt so sorry for Leah she quickly said I'll have it a Daddy's then you can have it next year. Poor kid, she seems to just tell Amber what she wants to hear.
Jenelle is another one who is bad for saying stuff like that to Jace. I wonder where he actually does want to live as he tells Barb and Jenelle different things.

Lemonnaise · 09/06/2017 12:34

Kailyn used to be one of my favourite teen moms but last season, the way she treated Javi, I just couldn't work her out. She seems to sabotage everything good in her life. She had a terrible childhood though so I do have some sympathy for her.

I think Leah gets such a hard time. I know she's had her problems with addiction etc but having to deal with her DDs disability at such a young age must have taken it's toll. It's good to see her and Corey are finally able to co-parent amicably after a few tough years.

sparkli · 09/06/2017 12:34

Kailyn is pregnant again. I used to like her, but didn't like the way she treated Zavvi.

I think Leah has a lot of issues. I feel sorry for her girls.

My favourite is Maxi, she seems to be a great mum. Love the relationship Taylor has with Bentley. Though, just read they're going for marriage counselling Confused

Teddy6767 · 09/06/2017 12:37

How much does Kaiser look like Nathan by the way?! I think Jace will grow up to be a very troubled boy as his mum clearly bullies him into agreeing with her all the time, and Barb guilt trips him all the time about wanting to spend time with Jenelle.

The only one who seems properly happy is Chelsea. Cole is amazing! It broke my heart on one of the original episodes when Adam sent those horrible messages to Chelsea calling her fat and saying he wanted nothing to do with the baby

Littlebatcalledlucille · 09/06/2017 12:38

Debz? Gangsta innt!
Really?
My eye's hurt and I can't eat my lunch

ThatsNotMyMummy · 09/06/2017 12:40

Ive found my people!!!
Ok
Mackenzie was a complete cow going back to them and telling them, ok it was on the tv so they would have seen it. But that wasn't her place, and Maci is absolutely right. Ryan needs to build a bond with Bentley not be his big brother, the grandparents have done more parenting than ryan and thats the problem. They are lovely absolutely lovely, but they aren't bentleys dad.
I think Maci gets a lot of the blame about it and they don't want to accept that actually Bentley would sooner be at his house with his siblings than at his grandparents. Doesnt mean he doesnt love them. I think Mackenzie did that to be on Jen's side as she's aware she has a big influence in Ryans life.

Farrah, oh my what a car crash. You watch her 16 and pregnant and she's horrid about the dad yet on Teen OG she's crying about him dying, yet he was never going to be a part of sofias life anyway. When she gave birth she actually said "good for her" when sofia came out!!! She's absolutely bonkers, i don't know why Deborah keeps going back to her for abuse. Farrah dangles sofia as some kind of carrot to keep Deborah in line.
Did anyone see a few weeks ago when Sofia started to kick off about Nannies and getting out the car, Farrah is going to have a difficult few years. Their family dynamic really interests me, and I'm going against the grain but i don't think Deborah was as bad as Farrah insinuates. The birthday party comment was interesting where Farrah said she never had birthday parties and Deborah corrected her and said theres photos

Lemonnaise · 09/06/2017 12:42

The thing I'd like to know about Janelle is....She's constantly moaning about wanting to spend more time with Jace(she lost her custody battle with Barb last week) but keeps moving further away. Why doesn't she move closer to him and his school and she'd be able to see him more. Doesn't she live about an hour away so can't have him during the week?

livsmommy · 09/06/2017 12:47

I think Kaitlyn has been portrayed really badly in the newest season, Javi was controlling and blamed her when she had a miscarriage, she wanted out but probably went the wrong way about it. If you watch the earlier seasons of teen mom 2 she really struggled when Issac was a baby, Jo was horrible to her and she had to work 2 jobs while at school to try and support herself and the baby, she had no help from her own mum who was an alcoholic. I like Chelsea but she's had it easy really, rich daddy who paid for everything and supported her. Adam is vile. Leah I feel for, it must've been so hard having twins so young with one having health problems, she needs support from her children's fathers not the hate she has had in the past. I love Maci on OG, Ryan is an absolute waster babied by his mum and gets away with everything. Gary is a good dad and Amber shouldn't guilt Leah and should make more of an effort, Matt is a disgusting chancer. Farrah is awful, so mean, but a great business woman, Catelynn and Tyler try their best I think both had awful childhoods and again in the early seasons their families were horrible to them. Seems only now they're all doing well for themselves the parents want to be around.

ThatsNotMyMummy · 09/06/2017 12:47

I knew we would love onto Jenelle next!
Poor poor jace, that boy is going to have so many issues. Its been left so long now a move back to Jenelle would be very very traumatic. He says whatever he thinks will make whoever he is with happy. I think its really difficult, Barb and Jenelle need shaking. Its not about either of them but Jace. Barb is all hes known, if only the could amicably agree to upping Jenelles time. If they could live closer and he could come and go a bit more it would be so much better for him. Not a formal agreement or even as it is now Jenelle begging her mum for time and Barb agreeing or not. It needs to be about him and a relaxed agreement would be great.

Lemonnaise · 09/06/2017 12:48

ThatsNotMyMummy

I agree with you about Farrah, she's so difficult to work out. I read her book please don't judge me and according to Farrah, Deborah was extremely controlling and wouldn't even let Farrah grieve when Derek died. Farrah actually wanted an abortion with Sophia and Deb wouldn't let her.

I think Farrah is so vile to her now because Farrah's in control and she totally uses Sophia as a pawn...Deborah is terrified of being cut of from Sophia so takes all her shit.
