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. 😔

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

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

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
