I’m hating Charlie and her mother. Feel sorry for Brett and his mum. Charlotte is doing well. Can’t stand Laura and Morgan they are just awful. Alisha is ok and I commend her for keeping up her studies.

justthecat · 12/10/2019 13:25

Cannot stand Morgan, I give that relationship five minutes

Limer · 15/10/2019 16:48

Charlie is such a little madam!!! Moaning that she didn't like salmon, then saying that actually she'd never really tried it. Parenthood is going to be a big shock.

I couldn't understand why there was any doubt about the birth certificate for Laura and Morgan, a quick google could have answered their questions and avoided all the stress and sleepless nights!

Charlotte is doing really well, I'm looking forward to the next episode as it looks as if the father to her twins materialises!

Felt so sorry for Alisha in labour, wanting her mum there, but why on earth didn't she find out beforehand what the rules were?

Canttasteanything · 15/10/2019 20:38

Alisha’s husband was lovely, it made me emotional when he was saying how proud he was of her!

I love Charlotte, but my heart breaks for her having to deal with such a sad situation so young Sad. It seems like she has been protected by the reality of her mums illness so far, but is now having to face up to it.

Charlie is a madam, I think she’s going to really struggle. I love her boyfriends mums hair though Grin

Can’t stand Morgan and her wife

Sherloidbaisherloid · 16/10/2019 20:27

How controlling is Morgan?! Laura’s wife, she is awful! Can’t believe how she was speaking to Laura there. Absolutely awful

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 16/10/2019 20:31

Alisha’s husband has been brilliant. Feeling sorry for Brett Charlie is hard work, spoilt brat. Laura needs to leave controlling Morgan. If I was Morgan’s mum I’d be embarrassed and Laura’s mum must be worried as hell, this behaviour Morgan displays will escalate.

forevercurious · 16/10/2019 21:01

I really felt for Laura in this episode - Morgan came across SO badly, demanding she come home whilst Laura was visiting her family after a bereavement! she seemed very controlling.

I also really feel for Brett, he seems to be walking on egg shells most of the time. I cannot take to Charlie at all.

Alisha - I wish her mum / family were more involved as she’s clearly desperate for them to support her.

Charlotte - definitely my favourite out of them. An amazingly strong mother.

mummabubs · 17/10/2019 13:32

A very small part of me could understand Morgan's annoyance/stress (if she didn't know about the bereavement) but agree that it was a huge red flag to watch her talk to Laura like that and came across as very controlling. I suspect cracks will start to appear in their marriage more and more, they've done so much so quickly.

I quite like Alisha and have a lot of respect for Charlotte in facing up to some really difficult circumstances to the best of her ability. Charlie is coming across as spoilt and unreasonable at times, I try and remember how I felt when 42 weeks pregnant as my mood was a little all over the place but it seems like she's always been a bit like that?

Limer · 17/10/2019 19:01

Morgan was really threatening Laura - all that stuff about "you're MY wife and you'd better not forget that" made my blood run cold. I hope they do split up, Laura doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

Will be interesting to see whether Connor does start being a proper dad to his twin daughters. Will he give Charlotte any real help or give her any money? It sounded as if he just abandoned her at 3 months pregnant, what a slime ball.

Charlie's so nasty to poor Brett, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and hoping she'll improve once the baby is born, but the trailer for next week didn't look too promising when she was snapping at Brett!

I hope Alisha & Umair's families can grow closer now that baby Arabella is here, I can't really understand why there's an issue, is it just the different religions?

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 23/10/2019 20:18

I hope Alisha’s mum can accept her husband. Morgan is driving me mad and is so abusive it’s putting me off the programme. I hope they ditch these two if there is a series two. Charlie has a lot of growing up to do and not sure she’s prepared for what’s to come. Poor Charlotte we all knew he was going to let her and the babies down. I hope everything works out for Charlotte.

blanketsallday · 23/10/2019 23:24

God Morgan and her wife are insufferable! Clearly a toxic relationship.

I wish Alisha's mum would just grow up and be there for her daughter. Yes, it's hard when you have different beliefs but is it worth losing your family over?

mrssunshinexxx · 24/10/2019 07:12

Alisha's mum is HORRIBLE

Can't deal with Morgan she's so toxic

@blanketsallday the foreign ones

Ffs really?? How ignorant are you? And Asia is a continent and India is a country so technically they can be both

GoodBoyGhost · 24/10/2019 11:30

Bar Charlotte, they are all just so immature.

I feel like Charlotte is quite incredible really and her family seem lovely. The rest are just unbelievably childish.

LoadsaBlusher · 24/10/2019 12:26

So glad I’ve found this thread !
Agree with most that’s been said

Morgan is extremely controlling to the point of mental abuse , it’s such a shame to watch

I like alisha and her husband . Alishas mum seems very immature

Charlie is so spoilt , Brett is too nice for her.
I think he is really well brought up , remains calm and quiet even in the face of Charlie’s moaning
I have sons and I would be so upset if I thought any of them were being treated badly and nagged at like that

Charlotte is going well but she has lots of support , not sure how she will manage without it .

lilsquish · 24/10/2019 14:22

I think Umair is coming across as a brilliant dad and husband and I have no idea what Alisha's mum has such an issue with?

really dislike Charlie. constant moaning and I thought she was terrible changing that babies nappy, shoving a bottle in its mouth and freaking out because it was crying. really showed her immaturity.

Agree that Morgan seems controlling, what's wrong with Laura spending time with her mum?

Charlotte is doing great!

justthecat · 24/10/2019 14:48

Very few of the dads come across well on these type of programmes but agree Umair is coming across really well

Limer · 24/10/2019 14:57

Looks like everyone posting on here has the same opinions!

How awful of Alisha’s mum to accuse Alisha of making mistakes and leaving her!!! She’s going the right way about alienating everyone! Just what is her problem?

Morgan’s so horrible, I think she’s very immature and wrongly thinks she’s being pushed out by Laura’s mum.

No surprise that Charlotte’s ex has disappeared again. Good riddance, he's obviously a waste of space.

Charlie’s such a baby herself, sulky and moody all the time. I feel sorry for Brett as he seems a decent lad.

LoadsaBlusher · 24/10/2019 15:30

I think it’s good that Laura is keeping close with her mum - hopefully over time her mum will be proven right and she will realise that she is being controlled / guilt tripped / emotionally blackmailed
Morgan comes across so so badly - plus has she got a job yet ...

I always wonder do they receive any MTV payments ie: even in new Prams / car seats / all the cafe lunches out / nails / etc

Limer · 24/10/2019 15:44

I've wondered that too LoadsaBlusher

I'd guess that they get paid a monthly fee, plus if something is staged for the cameras, e.g. a family lunch, then MTV pick up the tab. I think the personal grooming is paid for themselves, it always amazes me to see the girls with and without their face on!

They might also have limited success in getting local businesses to give them free stuff, but it depends whether the local business would want to be associated with them Grin

forevercurious · 24/10/2019 18:16

It was nice to see the photo shoot Charlotte had with her family - you can tell how close they are and how much they support one another. Shame about the twins dad but Charlotte doesn’t need him.

It really does seem that every time Laura spends time with her mum, Morgan causes an argument. it’s incredibly controlling, as if she cannot cope with their relationship.

Like Brett, continue to dislike Charlie.

Alisha’s mum does not come across well at all, her daughter desperately wants a relationship with her - why can’t she see that?

They must receive some sort of payment for the show surely? I often wonder this, especially as Charlotte has a double bugaboo pram (I think that’s what it is anyway!)

lilsquish · 24/10/2019 19:04

I watch all the teen mom programs (it's my guilty pleasure- I'm 35!! 😂)

i think once the series picks up they must get paid, certainly the American ones all seem to have nice cars/houses etc

StylishMummy · 24/10/2019 19:54

The MTV set up for any new show is a £1500 per month 'retainer' which is what the Geordie shore guys got during and after season 1, then if it picks up, it's up to the cast to negotiate their own fees. BUT the US version is a whole different level, it's suggested Maci Bookout from Teen Mom OG could be paid around $300k per series

Limer · 24/10/2019 21:07

£1500 per month isn't really very much, especially as it appears they have to do quite a few "talking head" pieces - maybe five minutes once a day, just saying what they've been doing that day, and how annoyed/upset/tired/frustrated they are? They probably also have to commit to MTV turning up at the most inappropriate times to get some juicy footage.

I genuinely don't know why anyone would sign up for it, even if they paid ten times as much!

Sleepthiefismyfavourite · 24/10/2019 21:49

I agree about Morgan, they still seem to be together according to instagram though.

They all do promo work on instagram so they probably get a bit of money from that too.

I really like Charlotte, I wonder what is actually wrong with her mum. It’s very sad Sad
