Bubba I reckon that Manley’s dad is probably at the root of his problems with women, aren’t unresolved childhood issues usually always the reason bad behaviour presents in adults? Obviously sometimes a parent can do an amazing job of bringing up their children so that there’s no real bad childhood issues to put forward into adulthood, but looking at Maggie and how childish she is and how she doesn’t call Manley out on his bad behaviour then it’s not the case here, Manley has many issues relating to bad behaviour so I think that yes, Manley is a product of his environment whilst growing up, his Dad also left his Mum for another woman and look at his situation with Mia and ErinSad

Scotschic · 28/04/2018 14:49

Manley is, in his own way, a fantastic father to his 2 little girls but the way he speaks to Mia, and the way he dismisses her as a Mother, isn’t fantastic at all Angry and Marliya is too young atm for any of this to truly affect her but it won’t be long before she’s not and so his terrible ways needs sorted pronto and it may well be that, in the end him appearing on television may be the catalyst in him getting therapy, on his own first, so that he can be totally honest about everything he’s feeling etc, etc, and then he can concentrate on lessons in anger management and how to just move forward in a positive way (I’ve been watching way too much reality tv lately Blush) with Mia, Marliya and co parenting.

Surely to god Erin can see that Manley’s treatment of Mia is because he’s bitter about losing her?! I think Erin needs therapy too about her poor choice in men due to, no doubt, her own childhood issues, she’s clearly suffering from low self esteem and doesn’t know her worth, it’s surely the only reason you’d put up with Manley again and especially after the way he treated her the first time around, I mean ffs she was a baby herself and she gets pregnant to a guy whom she thought loved her and then 2 months before your due your first ever baby, he goes back to his ex and gets her pregnant Angry and you find this lovely piece of info out on the day that you give birth Shock and you then have to get over it basically, get your strength back and move on...but we all know what happens after...Sad

I actually genuinely feel bad for Erin and I’ve been negative about her in the past but it’s not that she’s desperate or has no self respect, it’s because she feels like shit deep down and Manley is to blame for this. Angry

It’s shocking to see how much bad parenting can damage a person well into adulthood and it definitely sends the message out that you really really have to think before you have a child to someone, he may be sexy, great in bed, funny etc, etc, but it doesn’t mean that he’ll make a good parent by any meansConfused and a guy like this is ok for a non committal, non conventional relationship but not for babies and playing house etc, etcHmm

Btw I’m not saying Manley is the guy that I described as above, Grin I’m just saying that the first serious boyfriend you have, doesn’t have to be the father of your kids, you have to kiss a few frogs firstGrin

ASAS · 28/04/2018 15:55

I totally agree with everything said above about Manley (and childhood generally). Manley seems to, in his own distorted way, be seeking a 2.4 children nuclear family but he just doesn't have the skills to bring it about lovingly.

Dancingmonkey87 · 28/04/2018 16:22

I wonder if Manley had other siblings who n his fathers side aswell as his mothers. I agree he is a product of his environment. He didn’t seem to be phased by the fact he had two dc with two women in such a short space of time, it doesn’t show him in a good light. I also think he got back with Erin as it was easier to control such a shame she didn’t have much self worth to realise she deserved to not to be second best. She is however good with marylia judging by Instagram

ASAS · 28/04/2018 16:39

So, how do you think as a parent you manage to not fuck up your children? I know from teen mom USA that most teen moms had a teen mom, but even for those of us in the 30s and 40s how do you live a life that is good for your child?

ASAS · 28/04/2018 16:41

That reads quite sarcastically, but I'm being genuine. For example Chloe seems to have had a fairly textbook comfortable life, is that perhaps something that makes it easier for her and Jordan to stick it out?

ASAS · 28/04/2018 16:44

As in Chloe is quite resilient as she's always had that loving, stable home? Do you think this is the case? I mean yes materially she has a lot of help but has her childhood taught her this is what she wants for Marley, home, stability etc

Scotschic · 28/04/2018 17:27

I don’t have the answers ASAS, I only know the issues that bring about the questions to the answers I do not know...Grin

Bubba1234 · 29/04/2018 07:56

What’s the betting the therapist will not call Manley out on his abusive behavior

Dancingmonkey87 · 29/04/2018 08:49

I don’t think the therapist will call him it but she’s meant to be unbiased and is a mediator to help their parenting relationship where as if they went to a relationship counsellor I think they would denfinately pick up on the EA from Manley. Even on social media Mia has never said anything nasty about Manley or Erin yet Manley has digs and both Erin and Manley like comments about Mia not being a good mum.

Scotschic · 29/04/2018 16:28

Ladies, girls, women: it’s the last episode on Wednesday of TMUK SadSad and I can’t believe it!

Ivegotfamilyandidrinkcupsoftea · 29/04/2018 16:29

Think Erin has a cheek to agree with anything about Mia being a bad mum after how Mia treated her daughter!

Scotschic · 29/04/2018 16:33

Yeah I’m pretty pissed at Erin too for being awful about Mia, although we all know that Erin is jealous of Mia and all the comments on here, Instagram and Facebook are always saying how beautiful and free spirited Mia is compared to Erin so that won’t help, but it’s not Mia’s fault that people prefer her to Erin, it’s Erins own behaviour that has done this.

According to Instagram then Mia & Megan seem to be very friendly out of all the TMUK girls, Chloe and Amber are friendly too. I was surprised at Mia and Megan for some reason Hmm

Bubba1234 · 29/04/2018 22:23

Ladies watch teen mom young and pregnant so we can continue our chats lol or watch the handmaids tale

Scotschic · 29/04/2018 22:36

Bubba I’m not sold on the show you mentioned, not yet anyway...As I haven’t invested in it then I don’t know any of the girls, properly, not yet Confused anyway. Although I’m rooting for Shen’s sons girlfriend..can’t remember her name..Confused Ashley maybe?.. I quite like herSmile

Bubba1234 · 30/04/2018 05:13

She is a bratGrin

Scotschic · 30/04/2018 15:45

Yeah maybe but I think she & Bar will be ok, just keep Shen away Grin

Dancingmonkey87 · 30/04/2018 22:22

I just can’t get into young and pregnant I think it’s because I’m just viewing them as adults as most are 20/21 not 16 but I was 21 when I ds and I just got on with things even when the relationship broke down

Beaverhausen · 01/05/2018 06:31

OMG Sassi's whinning " Daaaarrreen I am really sorrrrrry from the bottom of my heart". I really hope he does not go back to her.

Amber only wants Steve when he is in a relationship, Mia hmmmmmm not so sure about that one, I take it as we do not really see what is going on.

Chloe, she is lovely but spoilt and what a gorgeous child they have but Jordan I do not think he is 100% behind the whole one big happy family thing. I think he wants to be out there enjoying his life and not at home with a woman who nags and moans at him the whole time.

Dancingmonkey87 · 01/05/2018 08:36

Sassi had her fun with the “hot guy” it’s fizzled out and now she wants Darren back I hope he gives her a wide birth.

Mia I feel sorry for I’ve been there with someone who is EA and had a young child it’s awful and they tear you down, watching the clip for wednesdays meeting with the mediator is disgusting when he tells her Marylia doesn’t need her mum.

Scotschic · 01/05/2018 08:54

Clearly Manley hasn’t changed irl either, as we’ve heard through pp saying that he is still disrespecting Mia Angry

Dancingmonkey87 · 01/05/2018 09:49

Mia never responded to the shit either they put on Instagram especially them playing happy families with Erin. Imagine if she posted a pic of her her fb and marylia he would hit the roof. He was kicking off because a fb went round to Mia’s flat when he had marylia!

Scotschic · 01/05/2018 10:07

I like that Mia is by far being the bigger person and not rising to the bullshit that Manley is posting.

Erin needs to get a grip and dump him as it’s so so obvious that she’s just a time filler for Mia not being there & it’s someone to run about after Manley, I wish his sister would kick his ass but it seems she’s on his side, bloods thicker than water etc.

IceSwan · 01/05/2018 11:03

I can't find anyone I really like on young & pregnant. Saying that I'm still watching it Grin

I can't believe it's the last teen Mum uk this week Shock

Scotschic · 01/05/2018 11:18

I’m gutted that it’s the last episode!
