-that girl needs rehab followed by on-going therapy. it's not showing on the episodes but she's already hooked up and living in her mom's home with another guy (within a month of meeting him). no way if I were either of her kid's fathers would I want them in this kind of situation. she just goes from guy to guy acquiring new half sibs for her kids along the way. her mother drives me crazy too-leah finally hits bottom enough to go to a rehab, and mommy has to call and twist corey's words such that it sends leah running back-and behaving even more zoned out. I don't know what kind of support system jeremey would have if he got primary custody of the baby, but those twins would definatly be much better off w/the stability that corey's household (and parents) seem to provide.
jenelle-train wreck on a never ending loop. Barbara leaves a lot to be desired but I still think that little boy is much better off w/her.
kailyn-she and javi need counseling. the control and jealousy issues are bad. I do have to agree w/him on just letting the family support system administer the child support b/c her relationship w/joe is not going to get any better when vee has their baby (and finances are stretched further and vee is pushing to move back 'home')-better to take that one issue out of the mix.
Chelsea-HATE the baby talk habit!!!! but that said-her life is among the most stable across the teen mom universe. the new guy seems decent and caring to her and her daughter so that's a plus-and it doesn't seem like either are rushing things. adam is such a loser. did anyone else catch it last night when he was complaining about not knowing what was going on w/Aubrey and said "I don't even know where she's going to go to preschool next year"-um dude-did you forget that your daughter turned 6 this year and had a preschool graduation? dude, your kid is DONE with preschool.
How much is MTV paying these people that they're talking about $3,000 a month for child support? Wow.
I think jo throwing those numbers around is just throwing b.s.-Delaware uses a set formula for determining child support, and there's no way as an aspiring rapper/copy machine repair tech (at least that's what he used to do) he would be forking out that much per month.
granted it's a different state, but even Jeremy who takes down over 6 figures per year as a pipeline engineer didn't get an initial order anywhere near that (as quoted by leah on last night's show). I gotta say though-if I were Jeremy (or corey for that matter) w/an ex who supposedly had major issues with spending, running up debts and paying the bills-if my kids were living w/her I would be making an arrangement through the courts to get some kind of money management arrangement set up where my child support went to supporting my child(ren)-put into an account w/someone making sure the power, water, rent/mortgage was paid, food was on the table, med co-pays were being taken care of (it was recently reported that the little one's wheelchair wasn't being brought w/her to school b/c it was broken and leah either couldn't afford or hadn't gotten around to getting it repaired).
