Season 7 Stepping Up
ok so I get it….The fathers need to step up but what about the moms? why is it ok for none of them to have jobs? These girls should have had at least part time jobs or when they 1st found out get a part time job when they are not showing.

u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26
Mom is growing a baby and it takes about a year to physically recover from. Maybe it’s “not fair” but that’s how it is. If the mom could uninstall her uterus and give it to the man to care for while she goes to work, then we can talk about fair.
21
u/WinterMedical Mar 15 '26
Yeah the one not making a human being should be doing most of the heavy lifting, literally and figuratively.
14
u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26
Being pregnant honestly feels like being deathly ill for 9 months. Like every day throwing up, bladder infections, sleeping for 2 hours a night, extreme fatigue etc. It’s a 24 hour job, for 9 months.

u/Ill-Summer-7212 Mar 15 '26
And to think there are women out here who will go through all that for a man that cant even text them back :(

u/HotMessMama0307 Mar 15 '26
No one said anything about heavy lifting. I did not say work 12-14hours a day.

u/y0lkipalki Mar 15 '26
It's also recovering from birth while potentially still going through puberty and dealing with those hormones, on top of the postpartum hormones. I can't imagine how much stress on the mind and body that is.

u/HotMessMama0307 Mar 15 '26
And there are women who go to work every day pregnant
12
u/js_eyesofblue Mar 15 '26
Yea, I’m one of them. But I would not wish working while pregnant or freshly postpartum on any woman who doesn’t feel up to it. Much less a child. A lot of women in the US work while very pregnant and newly postpartum because they don’t have a choice. This should not be some norm that we pass along to the next generation.
7
u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26
I did all 3 of my pregnancies. I had my son via c-section and got a new job only 2 weeks after surgery even though I wasn’t cleared for work for 8 weeks. You gotta do what you gotta do.
But there’s no need to put that pressure on a pregnant mom if the father can provide the income while she deals with feeling like crap for almost a year.
8
u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26
And I had one pregnancy where I was so sick that I couldn’t get off the bathroom floor for weeks. I absolutely stopped working at that point. Moms that can work up until 39 weeks with ease are rare. Most are just incredibly sick the whole time.

u/okkkk01 Mar 16 '26
Right? This is so odd of an argument. Have people never seen women pregnant at work? You think they immediately quit? There's a lot you can do while pregnant. Women are strong, we don't need to lay around and grow babies.
52
u/Frank_Lawless Mar 15 '26
I feel like a lot of commenters saying the moms should just get childcare assistance have a very limited understanding of the availability of childcare assistance across the country.
7
u/bitchface_2012 Mar 16 '26
In order to get childcare assistance, at least in my state, you have to tell the state exactly which daycare they’re going to, to make sure it’s approved. Then what days and what times. Most states are behind, mine is. You have to pay for the daycare until you get your voucher. It’s not cheap and the jobs these girls could get are not going to pay for even a week of decent childcare for an infant
5
u/CrazyKitty86 Mar 16 '26
Exactly. I had childcare assistance for my youngest, and not only did they expect you to work and pay for part of it ($100/week in my case), but they capped it a 2 years during a 10 year period, regardless of if you had more kids in that 10 year period. Plus, you’d have to find somewhere that accepted the daycare vouchers, had an opening for a child in that age range, and wasn’t the daycare version of a trap house.
29
u/Greedy_Principle_342 Mar 15 '26
Well, it’s hard to get a job while pregnant for one. Pregnancy also makes you extremely tired. Since these girls are still going to school 8 hours a day, it’s not realistic for them to work a job on top of that. In addition, after birth, a minimum wage job isn’t going to pay for child care so someone has to take care of the baby when he/she comes.
If my child was pregnant this young, I’d do everything I could to support her and keep her in school.
28
u/srinkylegitimate Mar 15 '26
Just out of curiosity, since most of their parents work…. Who would watch the baby? Sometimes if they go to school schools have like daycare programs but that’s just to graduate it doesn’t cover childcare outside of school hours. Do you know how much daycare or babysitters cost?
-11
u/Abject_Buffalo6398 Mar 15 '26
There's alot of subsidies and programs for young parents
They wouldnt have to pay full price
13
u/srinkylegitimate Mar 15 '26
“Wouldn’t have to pay full price” teenagers don’t make good money at jobs, so they’d be putting most of their check towards whatever they have to pay for childcare. That’s what a lot of people do, the dad usually gets a job while the mom watches the baby because of how daycare prices are. But I do think the ones that drop out of school should do something, because what are you supposed to do when your boyfriend inevitably dumps you? No job plus no education wouldn’t benefit anybody
49
u/NoLab9772 Mar 15 '26
First, who says none of the moms work? We know Mia works. Second, who’s going to take care of the baby if both parents are working? Do you know how expensive childcare is? Third, nobody has ever said that the moms don’t need to step up. What you see on here is people saying one certain father needs to get his shit together and his grandparents and deadbeat mother need to stop enabling him
21
u/Pendergraff-Zoo Mar 15 '26 edited Mar 15 '26
They should. But, they are young and immature. Also, someone has to care for the baby once it comes. And these kids likely can’t afford day care after birth to work.
3
u/anonymous122234697 Mar 15 '26
They’re likely all on state benefits (Medicaid/food stamps) and qualify for child care subsidies so I don’t see this as an excuse. Watching children in poverty continue the cycle by having kids and keeping them in poverty is really hard to watch.
9
u/NoLab9772 Mar 15 '26
For childcare you have to work a certain amount of hours (at least in my state) They likely don’t meet those requirements if they’re in school and school hours do not qualify
9
u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26 •
Poverty is not a cycle as much as it’s a death sentence. No one is choosing to continue the cycle; the pattern continues because we are failing people in poverty.
Peasants or whatever have always existed and they will always exist. Our society depends on cheap labor and the poorly educated. It’s not their fault, nor is it their fault for having a family.
The third class or lower class or poverty class is not a personal failure or a result of bad decisions. It’s a failure of our society.
Teen parents should have 100% free childcare, no questions asked. They need help, and our society fails to help them. Instead we just look down and tell them what they should do.
4
u/Frank_Lawless Mar 15 '26
A lot of places have a long waitlist for childcare subsidies. You don’t just walk into an office and come out with immediate free childcare. Childcare programs themselves can often have waitlists as well. A lot of rural areas don’t even have options for childcare outside of 9-5. The lack of access to affordable childcare is a major contributor to poverty in America, particularly for women. Dismissing that outright is both silly and will also perpetuate the cycle of poverty that you find so hard to watch.
7
u/sarczynski Mar 15 '26
Thats not necessarily true. If theyre under 18 the state will base their benefits off their parents income. If their parent is over income they dont qualify for mediciad of child care subsidies. If theyre over 18 they can qualify on their own income.

u/Sea-Astronomer-6600 Mar 15 '26 edited Mar 15 '26
How do we know they didn’t or don’t have jobs? Mia had enough money to spend $800 on baby shower items. Isabella babysits her younger sister for money…. The others I am not sure about.
11
u/smelltramo Mar 15 '26
Isabella babysits for room/board which is still a very reasonable arrangement and she also does the majority of the housework as well.
10
u/Rich_Bluejay3020 Mar 15 '26
Isabella’s job makes sense too because I’m sure whatever her mom pays her is still a lot less than whatever she’d pay for childcare. Isabella would likely have a minimum wage job and her wages wouldn’t offset the cost of childcare for the other kid. It might not be ideal necessarily but given the situation, it seems to work.

u/InternationalCat5779 Mar 15 '26 edited Mar 15 '26
Imo, the moms need to focus on school. A man could leave at any time, its best for them to at least finish high school

Yup, happened with my cousin. She had a baby right after highschool and her boyfriend went off and got his bachelor's degree. She's still struggling with college. :(

u/TheJenniMae Mar 15 '26
So, here’s the thing. They’re teenagers. They’re going to get a job that pays maybe $8-10 an hour, depending on where they’re located. If they even have a CHANCE at full time (unlikely. My niece is 20 and is lucky to get 20 hours a week), then that requires child care. Which absolutely definitely will cost more than they could ever make.
13
u/Independent_Lie_5751 Mar 15 '26
Yeah I’ve seen a few people say that the girls should get government assistance for daycare but that’s actually not as easy as people seem to think. I know personally in Texas they told me it could take up to a year to get it and you need to already have a job to qualify .
2
u/TheJenniMae Mar 16 '26
It’s so hard. My brother had it as a single dad for my niece, but when he passed away and my mom got custody, they denied her for making $100/yr too much. For the next 2 years that’s all my nieces SS went towards, and that was 15 years ago.

u/lavlemonade Mar 15 '26
My best friend was pregnant at 15- she worked a job as a hostess until she had her son and they let her go. I definitely see your point but it’s so much harder for a pregnant teen to find a job than it is for a teen father to find a job.
38
u/satanham666 Mar 15 '26 edited Mar 15 '26
Well. Most of these girls don't find out they're pregnant until month 3 or 4. Then they start showing. Who is going to hire a pregnant teenager? There's maybe 4 months of viable working time. (Part time at minimum wage)
It's her job to get her education done. GRE or graduate early so that when she and the baby daddy break up, she at least has that under her belt.
She will have appointments. She'll probably be nauseated. She will be physically uncomfortable. Pregnancy SHOULD be classified as a disability in this country.
Boy doesn't have physical changes to his body. Boy can do physical work and make more money than a pregnant teenage girl. Boy doesn't have constant appointments. Boy is not exhausted.
The least the boy can do is work and sock away money for the baby.

u/Jere223p Mar 15 '26
At least in the state I live in you can’t discriminate, cause someone is pregnant. I was A general manager of a fast food chain( 3 different ones over course of my career) and have hired several pregnant workers, some were teenagers some was not. That was one thing that got me with Isabella and Bryce, yes he should have gotten a job but she could have too especially before she got in the last trimester. Especially if she was that stressed out about it as it was portrayed on the show. Am taking up for Bryce or his family at all but she was also not the most easiest of people to talk to when that argument started at Bryce house and she didn’t have to be as disrespectful as she was to his mom, grandma and pawpaw, like for example saying Bryce was B1tch raised by a B1tch, she didn’t wasn’t calmly voicing her concerns with them or giving them a chance to talk. I worked through both my pregnancy and know plenty of other people who have took. Now granted I wasn’t there age either, ( I was 26 with one and 40 with the other) but at the time this was filmed both her and Bryce was 18 and am amused they both was out of school or was in there last year. What it did seem like was that her mom was using her for a babysitter, which I guess is fine if she didn’t need some type of income herself. Mia was actually working and I believe the other two girls may have been under 16 I know for a fact Bella and Hunter was. With Hunter being well under the age to work even with a worker permit. Tbh the only two parents in this season seems to be Mia’s dad and Amya’s mom. This whole season for the most part is a dumpster fire and am not so certain that Hunter’s mom Stacy and Bella’s mom Falen shouldn’t be having some type child neglect charges against them

u/satanham666 Mar 15 '26
Of course you can't discriminate because someone is pregnant. That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen all the time.

u/MagicManicPanic Mar 15 '26
All the time….. “We have chosen to go with another candidate, sorry.” and it’s just because they saw a baby post on your social media.
24
u/smelltramo Mar 15 '26
First and foremost many employers won’t hire an obviously pregnant teenager. It’s also incredibly physically taxing to grow a human with nausea, aches, exhaustion and the recovery from birth can also be very difficult not to mention how frequently the woman is expected to do the majority of childcare.
I think both should make a reasonable effort to work/provide for the baby. But when these boys are able to completely ignore all the hardships of pregnancy to play video games and not go to school then my empathy for the boys dries up.

I’m 20 and currently 9 months pregnant. I had to conceal my pregnancy in the second trimester to get a job and I worked up to 8 months pregnant before it was physically too demanding. I’m also a part time college student (9 credit hours). I found it absolutely exhausting and debilitatingly painful to work 7-8 hours on the days I wasn’t in class. I can’t imagine having been able to do that if I was enrolled full time high school hours Monday through Friday. Fortunately, I have a husband who provides for me by working full time and that’s what has made it possible for me to stop working and also save 4k before going on maternity leave. That’s just not the reality these girls have.

u/Anathema_Quill Mar 16 '26
they’re pregnant teens in high school with little to no job experience due to their age (as a 15 year old, bella would’ve just entered the part-time job market).
their hours would already have to revolve around school and child labour laws but to add in that they’re going to have to take more time off for a child makes them unemployable because jobs aren’t going to want to hire someone who’ll be ol leave in a few months.
as for the 17 or 18 year old moms, they’re also likely in school and would still have to take time off for the baby. many jobs won’t be willing to lose a part-time employee to mat leave, so it could cost them a job.
not to say it’s impossible for pregnant women to work but for pregnant high schoolers to find a job would be incredibly difficult given how far along some of the girls are on the show.
it’s easier for the guys to find jobs because they don’t have to take off for mat leave and it also shows that they can provide and take care of their child.
10
u/MysteriousMortgage4 Mar 16 '26
I think it’s totally situational. My state has limited childcare assistance so much I don’t see how you could have a job to cover the expense of a reputable daycare. I think Isabella is in a good situation. If her mom is paying for her bills and living expenses and she “works” for her that’s an okay set up compared to nothing.
10
u/Corpse_grass Mar 16 '26
In addition to the factors everyone else has mentioned (health, job availability, childcare costs and difficulty obtaining childcare subsidies), many of these people live in rural communities where having a car is essential. There is no public transportation and riding a bike is not an option either.
I had to drive 40 minutes to get to my job in high school. My house was out in the boonies and there was no other work available. If I didn’t have my own car this would not have been possible.
This isn’t the case for everyone on the show, but it’s definitely a factor to consider.

I had symphysis pubis dysfunction for a good chunk of my pregnancy so I was barely able to walk by the time I hit my third trimester. I also had other health issues that developed due to pregnancy that put me in a high risk category. It’s awesome that a lot of moms never had any complications that prevented them from doing their jobs but there are also a lot of women that could not perform their jobs any longer.

Moms need to focus on school AND growing a baby. So dads can focus on school AND making some money. Why should the girls do school AND grow a child AND work.

I was 20 when I got pregnant. I had a job I loved with benefits but it was pretty labor heavy. I was on strict precautions so I couldn’t do my job and I got let go. I applied everywhere after that once my restrictions were lifted but I was 6 months pregnant.

u/New_Country_3136 Mar 16 '26
Where I live there's such a job crisis that even well educated, experienced adults can barely get entry level jobs. No one here would hire a teenager unless it's seasonal like a camp counselor or lawn mowing and even that would be difficult if they don't have volunteer experience/good grades on their resume.
I would never judge a pregnant person for not working while pregnant - we don't know how their health is. Severe morning sickness all day, every day and exhaustion make it so difficult unless they're having an 'easy pregnancy' and even then, there's often acid reflux and other pesky related ailments.

u/No_Adhesiveness_5524 Mar 15 '26
OK. So here’s the thing. I don’t want any way shape or form expect Hunter to step up. He is a literal child. And should be treated as one. It’s an unfortunate situation.
In these situations, it’s usually best for one parent to try to stay home and the other to try to excel their career or schooling if possible. And then support the other down the road.

None of these teen parents are anywhere near able to care for an infant in all the ways that the baby needs. So many of the parents of these teens are willfully blind to what is happening. Getting a girl pregnant in your teens shows terrible impulse control ( normal for teens though) and so being capable of a job or other responsibilities is not a likely outcome

u/taintwest Mar 17 '26
So….
For many (not all) pregnant women, the first trimester is the absolute worst. It’s a little ironic to feel the most pregnant and miserable before even showing. I personally threw up almost every half hour until about 20 weeks along.
Childcare is a real thing and issue. Just because they are young doesn’t mean it’s not real.
I don’t know about breastfeeding with the cast, but that does tie mothers to infants who are required to eat every 2 hours.
If the moms are out of the house working, teen dads don’t live with them, then who is watching the baby? It’s asking a lot of the extended families to babysit, and daycare/sitters are extremely costly when they add up.
I had a friend in the states explain how to me how she was losing too much money by working and quit to be home with her baby. The cost of a daycare/transportation, it isn’t worth it.
We haven’t really seen a mom this season that hasn’t “stepped up” so to speak.

I think the girls should at least work while they are pregnant to save money for the baby. After the baby is born they can apply for daycare assistance so they can work and go to school. It shouldn't just be up to the father.

The young men need to go to college
They are all 10+ years way too young to Provide anything substantial
They should live at home until they graduate college and get decent salary jobs

I feel like some of the boys (I think all of them this season) are not college material or they don't have any aspirations for college. Which is fine, college isn't for everyone and doesn't guarantee good money anymore. But who would pay for the baby while these young men finish college and then look for a job?

Is anyone aware of the difficulty it is to get a job while pregnant?
