Quote From: cndrllaI cannot believe the stupidity and ignorance of these girls who were on the show today....but, the most maddening of all is Amber!!...and right along side of her are her silly mother, the father of this baby, and HIS dingy mother!
Amber's dumbest statement of all....and there were many....was "We weren't using any birth control, but I didn't think it could happen." Uh....DUH!! She already has an 11 month old...how did she think that one got here?
The boyfriend's mother also made an ignorant statement: "Amber just wants to trap my son". Why?? This boy is no prize. He's living at home, he already has another kid..(and I have to wonder where this other kid and the kid's mother are?)....it looks like he has absolutely NOTHING going for him...so why would any girl want to trap him..even one as stupid as Amber? Does he even have a J.O.B.?
Then he has the nerve to say Amber is "an unfit mother"....well, duh again! Sure she is....so why would he risk getting her pregnant again?? (She was good enough to sleep with, though huh.)
The boyfriend's mother says Amber "just moved in" without her permission....excuse me? Who pays for that house?? I would just have loved to see any one of my kids try something like that when they were growing up....They'd have been tossed out on their ear so fast it would have made their head swim.
As for Amber's silly mother: she says Amber has this "entitlement attitude"...well, who made that mess? This dumb kid will absolutely continue to pop out babies as long as she knows there are no consequences...why shouldn't she since she's obviously being rewarded for her ridiculous decisions by never being made to support these kids.
I just wanted to reach into that TV, grab that whole group of dummies and shake their teeth out!!
To any young girls out there who think getting pregnant at a young age is "fun", or any parents who are floundering around, please go to my website: http//NONONSENSEGRAMMYTREE.BLOGSPOT.COM/
I have written many relevant articles on many subjects. Click on "Baby..Think it Over" if you are a teen considering pregnancy...or who are just taking stupid risks. Parents, there are SEVERAL articles that you may get some use out of.
Your posting has made more sense than all the others put together! I have not been to your website yet but I do intend to go.
I have 3 grown sons who "catted around" when they were teenagers. I tried my very best to stop their activity but to no avail. I just Thank God that none of their "girlfriends" became pregnant during this stage! Their father (or as I refer to him, "the sperm donor") died when they were 11, 13 & 15 so I was left to clean up the mess he had made with them. This is NOT an easy task when they are the ages they were and when they had to deal with the way their father died (long, boring story).
My #2 son did get his girlfriend pregnant when he was 22 and she was 20. They did not marry until she was 5 months pregnant and we already knew that she was carrying twins. Since she was considered "high risk", they lived with my current husband and me throughout her pregnancy and until my grandsons were about 6 months old.
Guess who got up in the middle of the night with the babies...NOT mommy & daddy who were upstairs sleeping! Nanny & Gampy got up with these babies every single night! You might ask why we did this and did not "force" their parents to take responsibility. I can only answer that the babies were not to blame for their parents' irresponsibility. I admit that there was some enabling going on by my husband and myself. One can justify anything if the urge is strong enough. These babies are my grandchildren and I was NOT going to let them suffer.
My grandsons are now almost 7 years old and living with their mother. She makes her livelihood at a strip joint (she was a stripper when my son met her). Their father is in our state prison for beating up his girlfriend last summer. I worry about my grandsons all the time and there's not a dang thing I can do about their situation. We're lucky to see them on their birthday and at Christmas even though they live close by.
I love my grandsons dearly and am very glad that they are here, however, I had done everything I could to ensure that their mother did not even become pregnant by taking her to Planned Parenthood for an exam and a supply of birth control pills as well as condoms for my son. I paid for all of that. However, I couldn't force that pill down her throat nor could I put the condom on my son. She never bothered to tell me that the pills made her sick and she stopped taking them after a week. Obviously, my son didn't see a need for the condoms either.
A parent can only do so much. Once the pregnancy happens, it's too late. I tried and failed. However, I guess there was a reason for my failure...my 2 grandbabies were meant to be here...
(Original Air Date: 02/01/08) Parent alert: If you have a teenaged son or daughter, you'll want to sit down with him or her and watch this show! Dr. Phil takes a hard look at what happens when young girls find themselves having a baby while they're still babies themselves. It doesn’t just happen to the bad girl down the street; your child can become pregnant while living under your roof. First up, Ansley is 14 and says she's ready to have a baby now. She's so desperate to be a mom that she lied and told people she is pregnant. Her dad and stepmother say she's gone so far as to show people fake sonograms! Are Ansley's elaborate lies just ploys to get attention, or is there something more going on? When Dr. Phil shows Ansley a glimpse of what it's really like to be a teen with a baby, will she change her opinion? Next, Pam was shocked to receive a phone call from the high school principal telling her that her 16-year-old, Kaylee, was four months pregnant. She says she had no idea her daughter was even having sex! Did she miss the signs? Now eight months along, see Kaylee's emotional story of how her pregnancy has impacted her entire family. And, 19-year-old Amber is mom to an 11-month-old and recently discovered she was pregnant again. Was she trying to trap the baby's father as his mother claims? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.
