Jamie and her baby's father have an emotional argument over visitation. Episode airs next Tuesday at 10/9c.
i know right
@schfiftyfive its just as much his child as it is hers! Like he would do anything to his child he might be a s*** bag but you could see he loved his child he's not going to do anything to harm it. I can't stand when mothers think they hold all of the rights just becuase they gave birth to the child. He is young and stupid he needs some growing up yes but how is he going to get a chance to do that if not given the opportunity take his child away and he is just going to turn to more partying and more drugs. You really need to take the time to think about both sides of the subject!
I am disturbed by the number of people who state that the mother should butt out of Jamie and Ryans' affairs! Jamie's mother will have to be totally finacially responsible for this baby for quite some time. Not only that, but Jamie's mother will have to help parent this newborn--just when Jamie's mother was about to be completely free of raising her own kids, Jamie has a baby. There is no way that Jamie and Ryan won't need her in every way: housing, food, clothing, baby items, money, diapers, etc. As long as Jamie's mother is having to invest an enormous amount of time, energy and money into baby Myia, she has every right to voice her opionions!! Jamie and Ryan are still legally children- physically, emotionally, financially, intellectually, etc. They will discover that they need her input in every way...they would be wise to heed her advice.
look Ryan is trying to be a dad so let him be a dad!!u haven't even given him a chance!!at least he actuality wants to be with his daughter!!
Ryan is a spoiled jerk. I can't believe he thought he was going to take this baby home and keep her a few days. Look at the way he cries(lol) Like a five year old(lol) Jamie you are a beautiful girl and very smart. You don't need Ryan. If he wanted his daughter so bad he would try and make you guys relationship work. You have a great mother and she gives you great advice. You are going to make it girl.
The dad needs to grow up and be a dad. I think Jamie was right in not letting him take her because he has proven that he parties too much. What would happen if he got drunk with the baby and he couldn't take care of her. Jamie is on the right track with the courts and everything so that the dad can see the baby but under supervision. Also to those that are preaching about breastfeeding, yes breast milk is best but formula is just as good. I was not able to breastfeed my twins when they were born and they were on soy formula and they are healthy five year old girls now.
The dad on this episode reminds me of the movie riding in cars with boys. He is as nice as can be and loves his baby with his whole heart but just cant get it together. I cant handle it when guys cry, especially over their kids. The saddest part of the whole movie (riding in Cars with boys) was when he had to go in and tell his 5 year old baby boy that he was not going to be in his life anymore. I cried and cried... I see the same kind of thing happening with this kid. Big plans but cant live up to them and will eventually have to just say goodbye if he really wants the best for her.
I am watching the episode right now and oh boy sweety. I am up to the birth. I had forceps for my son too. They burned so bad and tore me in four ways. My son was 9 lbs 12 oz tho with a 15" around head. You are so lucky that you didn't have that experience with them. It looks like you were in tip top shape right after. I didn't even get to shower while I was in the hospital because I was in so much pain after.
Jessi I don't know why you got so defensive about MolleyPage's comment. Sure not everyone can breastfeed but she is and he should be happy that their baby is getting the healthiest start to life. And people pump when they go back to work but it is never recommened to start pumping until 4-6 weeks because it does cause nipple confusion. And again it is not about what is fair for the dad or mom right now but what is fair for the baby and right now being fed consistantly and frequently by her mom is what she needs.
WoW, It stinks that they give you just a sneak peak of what's going on & everyone giving their "opinion", & seeing others get angry for others posting them.. We're all entitled to our own views, with that being said. I was a teenage mother & now have a 16 year old of my own.This show gives teenagers a look in the "not so glamorous" life of a teen mom.I know some are saying let the baby go with the dad, we all make mistakes, & bringing up the breastfeeding ordeal..We need to step back & think what we would do in that situation..as far as breastfeeding goes, I understand her need to breastfeed any Doctor will tell you , that if you "DECIDE" to breastfeed the baby that is the only thing to give them the first few weeks of their life, if you try to do both "some" babies can't tolerate it, there is nothing wrong with formula whether you choose not to breastfeed or can't. It's not for everyone So she's try the breastfeeding, we shouldn't give her a hard time for that.The boyfriend needs to be patient, I'm not saying he has no right but you need to remember,from what the clip showed, he wasn't there for "them" through the pregnancy and now wants to walk in now and just take her when he wants her..You have to give a little in order to take a little. They have a lot of growing up to do... And yes, the mom has every right to be mad. That is her 16 year old daughter and no parent likes to see their child upset. It was posted on here that the mom needs to leave them alone....Have we forgotten that the girl is a child/minor, just because she had a baby doesn't make her a grown-up, She can't vote, buy a house,buy cigarettes or alcohol.. She needs her mother, she still needs help just like any other 16 year old without a baby.
Wow, Jessi. She said that there are 'rare situations when breastfeeding isn't a best choice or possible.' She wasn't attacking you and we didn't say a baby wouldn't be happy and healthy if they had to drink formula. My cousins were adopted and of course in that case formula is a god send, just as it is if you can't breastfeed. But there's nothing wrong with stating the facts, which is that IF possible, it's better to breast feed, but obviously it isn't always.
gosh it seems like all of these girls get pregnant by guys who treat them like sh*t!
exactly. and none of you seem to be getting this: he was hungover. yes. it's not like he knew his daughter was going to be born the next day and he could plan it. and he WAS irresponsible. he does have his rights as a father. people change, and no one will ever understand the change that can go on in a father when they get to hold their child for the first time and realize that there is a baby who depends on them to make the right choices until they've lived it. my boyfriend went through that change and it's made him a better person. i understand she probably doesn't trust him but holding his child from him is illegal. she should at least go with him so the baby can meet his family too, all he wants is to spend time with his daughter, is that so wrong?
he wouldn't have to "take the baby" if her mother wasn't such a ***** to him. it's completely different when the parent's don't live together. it's hard, but not impossible. the baby is not just some toy that they're fighting over. it's a baby, and it deserves both parent's when both want to be a part of it's life. i'm a mother and i am completely fine with leaving my baby with her daddy. i understand why she may not want to let him take her for a few days but she shouldn't hold the baby from him, he has just as much rights as the baby's father as she does.
for the record, none of you will understand what it's like to have a child that's yours come into your life until you live it. sometimes it can change your entire life. and he seems like he actually cares about the baby, unlike most dads. him and his family should be able to see the baby just as much as her and her family. just because the baby's grandmother is such a ***** doesn't mean that the baby's other grandparent's should suffer. let the parent's be parent's without butting in, they need to learn to be parent's on their own. it's their child, not hers.
yes her mother has authority over her as her guardian and her mother, but she has no authority over her daughter's child and how her daughter chooses to be a mother. it is clear that both of the parent's are hurt and torn over this decision. they should be able to make it without her overbearing mother sitting there waiting to ram on them if they don't do what she wants. yes i understand she is upset because he hurt her daughter, but everything that has to do with the child is not her decision. no one deserves to be talked to like that, be the bigger person and learn some respect. let them learn to be parents together. no one knows how much the birth of your child can change your life until you've lived it. give him a chance. he looks like he honestly cares about his child and wants to be there for her. he has just as much rights as the mother does.
i agree. i understand both sides. and yeah in the beginning they don't know the little things like properly holding them and things like that but they learn. and i think it's good that he wants to be around to learn and be in his child's life.
and to jessi this is why they make welfare so moms can spend time with there babys and get money for diapers ect....but i underdstand that some people cant breast feed when my 3 year old was born i breast feed for two weeks the my milk dried up on its own ...and thank god they have formula if not my baby would not be as healthy as she is .... im just saying if your commited to breas feeding you dont need someone there saying to give the baby formula
wouldn't you cry if you were told you couldn't see your child? i sure as hell would. but i'm guessing you wouldn't know that kind of love because you probably aren't a parent.
he's crying because he cares enough to ask to see his daughter, is that such a crime? most dads who wanted to continue down that bad path would have been gone, but he wants to be in his daughter's life. i think it's wrong to hold a child from their father. they have just as much rights as the mother. they helped make the child, they should be able to help raise it. unless of course they are completely dangerous and could harm the child. but this guy seems genuine. if he was dangerous, he wouldn't break down and cry for his child.
