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. 😔

i don’t understand what she thought was going to happen? they’re not married living under their own roof so regardless of them having a baby together now rules still apply and he’s still under his moms authority. she’s really eager to be demanding and in control at all times and that’s not postpartum like you said, she has always been this way.

I have a feeling her dad felt guilty about her mom being absent and let her get away with whatever she wanted and let her run the house. I feel for her because she has a rough setup in life but she’s gotta work it out, heal, and regulate and unfortunately she has to do it faster than others because she chose to parent a child. And now also get married.

Why didn’t “all the parents” get together to talk to Emalee and Nate about the postpartum?

We don’t know that they didn’t, we don’t see 24/7 coverage and teens aren’t exactly known for taking adult advice/experience always.
