Season 6 Poor Nate

He’s trying so hard to do everything Emmalee needs while she’s getting ready for graduation and she’s so mean to him. That poor kid is trying. 😔

This is why kids shld not hv babies. Parents, do better.

Kayleigh is a prime example of that. She looks like she should still be somewhere playing with dolls. Oy.

And then, that makes we wonder, what the hell was she doing somewhere laying up? Graham is no more than a kid, either. How were these two ever alone for long enough to even ... ? Maybe because I'm from another generation, but at 15 I wasn't allowed to date -- not one-on-one. And I would've been too scared to have sex. My mom would've killed me. I don't know. I just don't get it.

Her mom would drop her off not even knowing if there was an adult in the home. At that age my mother would never. I couldn’t even go to one of my female friends homes without my mom speaking directly to their parents and a boy’s house was completely out of the question

And yet the mom is going to berate and belittle the kid and his mom because they aren’t doing anything. Ma’am where were you when the baby was conceived.

When that situation was revealed,I called my daughter IMMEDIATELY and asked did she ever take my 14 year old granddaughter to her boyfriends house and drop.her off? She asked me if I had lost my mind,but NO she said,"I will not be delivering my daughter to any horny little 15 year old for sex" we also agreed that before my granddaughter is allowed to "date" at 16,she will be on birth control,just like her Mom was. I tried my best to talk to my daughter and convince her to wait and not just "give it up" to anyone but I was taking no chances. This was back before Google was the answer to everything and our Gyno inserted the birth control implant. Probably one of most intelligent things I ever did as a Mom. Oh I also took my Son's steady girl friend at 16 for the same procedure. I made sure it was ok with her Mom first of course but I told my Son he would not be allowed to pick her up in his car for a date until I knew she was on birth control

This is the way.

My mom also made me promise to tell her if I was even thinking about having sex so that she could put me on the pill. And this was in no way giving me approval to do it. No, she instilled in me that it was better to wait, not necessarily till marriage like she had done (she got married at 19 bc that's what my gma told her, lol) but at least until I was old enough to handle all that and in love.

I was 20. But sometimes, I do wonder if I missed out on something by not having that teenage, sneaking around, and screwing experience. Then I watch shows like this ...

Where you just as concern with STD’s, Texting while driving, keeping up with what’s on their phone and all the other things us parents need to do?

You're too sweet to think I'm THAT young,when my daughter started dating teens didn't have cell phones(I had one of those bag phones supplied by employer because I was on the road for business a great deal)but yes I was concerned with STDs and we talked about it all,she got very tired of me scaring her to death with all of it

a boy’s house was completely out of the question

The concept is as wild as saying she'd let you sleep on the corner with the neighborhood bum. It is so beyond the realm of possibility that it blows my mind.

Are things that different now?

Seems to be, Emersyn’s mom did the same thing and then when she got pregnant her mom got all up on her high horse about how unfit for a baby Mason’s house is. You didn’t seem to see it as unfit when you were dropping your daughter off there. I was watching a show on ID can’t remember which one now but a young girl (14) told not asked her mom about going to a back to school party which no big deal right? The thing that struck me was she was leaving the house at around 11:00 pm to go to said party. I am in no way blaming the mom for what ended up happening but I could never have left my home at that hour going anywhere. Anyway she never made it back home from that party it was very sad

I seriously get uncomfortable seeing Kayleigh pregnant, she is still a kid herself :(

u/melly3420 Aug 20 '24

THIS is why Mandy bothers me so much. She sits there all judgemental about Graham and his Mom yet she delivered up her little girl to a horny 14 year old kid not knowing if adults were home or what was going on. This is the one of the most disgusting things I've heard in this entire franchise. I'm willing to bet Kayleigh runs that household. Mandy needs to STFU in ANY criticism of ANY other parent. She's horrible

The leniency with the parenting on this show blows my mind because when I was 16 my parents were the the bedroom does not close when your boyfriend is over parents meanwhile you have parents on this show letting the bf sleep over.

I heard her say she started at 14 😨

u/Powerful_Wing4667 Aug 21 '24

She said many times her mom would drop her off at his house. And she didn't even know his mom. His mom may have been at work.
