The teen moms discuss the cost of having a child.
First of all I just want to say I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! All of theese girls are Brave, Smart and Beautiful!!! I was a teen mother at 15 and I had to deal with alot of the issues that all of theese young women do. My son is 8 years old now and I'm 24. I did go back to school to get my G.E.D and then went on to college. I now work full time to help my husband suport our family.I love my life now! My baby girl just turned 1 and I feel so much different this time around. I think that being a teen mother was the hardest thing I have had to do in my life and that teen girls should watch the show and not judge theese girl because they all have a REALLY hard job to do. They are all AWESOME Mothers!!!
if only farrah was half the mom as maci! i hope she took note when maci was saying she doesnt need anyone to be with her!!!
Maci, you are the best teen mom ive ever seen! I keep you in my prayers!
dnt worry about it maci you are one of the best mommy's i know keep your good work and always keep your head up... i can so compare to you i dnt care if you do it to me but when u do it to the baby it breaks r hearts
That's fantastic that you called him your "partner." Amber should learn from YOU.
AMBER, stop complaining. You don't work. You just pass blame. GROW UP and take ownership.
Maci: As far as teen mom goes, you would have to be by far hands down, ONE OF THE BEST! You have every right to feel like u do about how immature and unwilling to help Ryan is. Maybe he needs to look back at the tapes of the show, if I were a person watching for the first time and saw him with you, I wouldnt even be able to tell that was his dad and that sad! You do such an incredible job, putting aside childlike ways and understanding its not about you anymore when u have a child not able to fend for themself. I really commend you for being such an involved mom, sacrificing so much of yourself for his happiness cause in the end, you'll son will know who was there for him, loving him and taking care of him. I know u want to stay together as a family but you cant force it and there are many kids who were raised in single parent homes and turned out just fine, so dont feel bad if it comes to that cause you have gone over and above for Ryan and personally if he dont get his act together soon, you need to drop that zero and get u a hero! He needs to get a clue and ask himself, am I setting the best example for my son? THE ANSWER, NO!
Maci: You are one of the BEST mothers on the show( An CAT), You are all about your son an if some of the other girls could hangout with you I think they might learn a few things. Your VERY mature for your age an have a great head on your shoulders. I know you want things to work with you an Byran but there will come an time an point in your life an if he don't start to act more like he loves his own blood an wants to be a daddy an not be told he has to be a daddy your going to have to really stop an think if thats good enough for your son?? Your a smart girl an you will figure it out all on your own an I don't blame you for trying to fight to the end but soon enough you will ask your self when is enough enough? Good luck!!!
maci i know u want things to work out for ur son and that is a good thing but it takes two people to make a relationship work and u dont want ur son to grow up thinking that mom was unhappy for me my parents got married because my mom was pregnant with me and devorced 18 1/2 years later you need to put urself and your child first you work and take care of him the father should be contributing some where he doesnt work or take care of his son hun u need to see the light and take a break from him and not for a week or two for mabe a month or two to make him see that is going on make him take your handsome son alone and see what it is u gothrough
Maci, thank God for you! Your such a sweet heart and I have a very good friend who was in your situation. She married her babies father at 16, divorced at 19 because she was doing it on her own! She raised her beautiful daughter right and remarried the man of her dreams and a great dad at the age of 24! I know whatever happens Bentley will be okay because he has a wonderful mommy1
maci, i think that out of all of them girls on the show except for cate, u r a great loving and hard working mother.. love ya girl!!!
maci your a great mom for your baby and he is just soo cute Love yah gurl
Yes!!!! Maci, you are liike me- I am div by my ex never cared. Ryan needs YOU, you don't need him. You are doing great- from a Knox, TN mom
Maci, you appear to be an awesome mom and Bentley definitely seems to be your first priority. He is adorable by the way! Kudos to you girl! I can only base my opinion of Ryan off of what I've seen of him on the show. So I better not go there ;). Good luck w/ that.
How about a round of applause. Maci is an extremely selfless, loving mother. Thank God some of those still exist. Even setting the "mother" status aside, just being able to say she doesn't need ANYONE to be her partner is the most empowering statement. What a strong woman. Ladies, take a tip.
Maci, i really love u as a mom cause ur always talkin bout Bentley and worrying bout Bentley. I've never heard u speak bout urself. U really care bout Bentley and thats good. Ryan needs to grow up. I dont think he wants to be a father, but obviously its too late now. U or him cant change things so he just needs to realize that this is his life. Bentley is his life. He needs to just think bout that.
