Teen Mom Uk #2

[Nea111]

Why on Earth was Tel at that school?!? I don’t get it!
I’m now married to my kids step dad and he still wouldn’t dream of coming to anything like that! I go with my ex! Surely this is put on for the camera...I can’t see anyone thinking it’s normal to take a boyfriend to view your kids school

I think it’s become a competition between both couples like the hair cut/pierced ears thing. It’s really is sad and just shows how immature all four of them are. Well not really Dylan as I think he doesn’t give a duck Reanne is just one of those girls. You know the ones you don’t trust around your boyfriend. And Dylan, his scenes this week he looks like he needs a wash and a good haircut.

It will be a competition for the next few years and next on the cards is Megan having another baby. How about they be in competition with careers, ambition etc?

Gossip I live near Thurrock/Grays where Megan lives and she apparently doesn’t work in that shed she always advertises. She rarely has clients, most are just friends. I applaud her for learning a skill but at least do it properly and don’t pretend for Instagram. Reanne on the other hand you can just tell she’s one of those girls who’s never had a job and will just sponge off the state for the rest of her life.

I completely agree with you about ReAnne she could of got a job before she was pregnant, but she’s a stay at home mum to their young baby, and Dylan has a good job, I don’t see the problem as that’s how most couples do it

Problem is if Megan starts making babies after meeting someone 5 mins she’s going to end up with 10 kids to different dads. She’s only 21/22 now..

 

[Gingerswife]

It absolutely baffles me that these young girls have no ambition, just want to have a baby because that's the be all & end all to life! Ehhh, no! There's so much more to life than spitting babies out left right and centre how about a job for a start! 24 & still have no babies!! No rush!

Yeah but she could still work. She’s one of those girls who when she’s pushed to get a job, she’ll have another baby. And I’m sorry it shouldn’t just be up to the man to bring money in. I’m not chloes biggest fan but at least she’s ambitious unlike most of the girls on this show.

I’m 30 no kids and I honestly couldn’t think of anything worse than living the lives these girls live. And I don’t mean being a young mum, I mean all this drama and tit baby daddies. And good for being 24 and living your life! Enjoy it, travel as much as you can, get a good career and then settle down.

Definitely!! Why rush into something that you have your whole life to do? We got our house first & then a dog.. Then we got married.. I still don't want a baby & there is nothing wrong with that!

Just also shouting out that there's nothing wrong with having a baby without the white picket fence life too.
I live similar to ReeAne (but I'm 28), can't work as I can't afford childcare and with someone who isn't my child's father. Planning for baby number 2, so I can get it all out of the way before going back to work

Ha I’m six years older than you and you’ll be asked every bleeping year when you’re going to have one. And there is nothing wrong with that there’s four things I’ve learnt:
1: People regret the age they have kids
2: They sometimes regret who they have kids with
3: They miss out on so many things in their late teens/twenties that they’d love to do.
4: There’s a few people I know who regret having kids to begin with.

Yet you’re expected to rush into it! No thank you!

Oh I know, my parents were young when they had me & they didn't have the best start.. So I done things the way I wanted. No judgements for anyone wanting to have a baby young or whatever, it's just not the be all & end all of life for me

Since being married, I get asked that a lot.. Personally think it's rude af... Its no one's business when my husband and I will have a baby.. Don't even know if I can until the time comes.. People need to keep opinions to themselves!

But that’s what I mean. You’re so lucky you’re in this country and you get help. Any other country and you’d have to work. I agree child care is expensive my sister pays £700 a month for hers and works full time. I just think people get it so easy and get everything just for pushing out kids. You should work and pay for your children it shouldn’t be up to the government. And I’m not saying you specifically, a lot of women see it as a way of not working

Teen Mum just highlights this too, all the girls have council houses and they seem to get them quickly.

Just give the wrong impression to young girls watching the show. At least Chloe is different

 

[Casperron]

I think people are forgetting these girls do work- Megan has her beauty salon but she also does Instagram & Teen Mom so she’s got to be bringing in a decent amount. Shannon who was on teen mum had her own clothing business and also did the Instagram/teen mom thing. Sassi worked on a construction site, amber was a youth worker. I don’t think having a council house means you’re a dosser tbh. They’re there for people that need them. And Megan / Reanne did need them as they’d probably struggle to private rent a flat if they had no guarantoor or rent historu

Of course people who live in council house aren’t lazy! I didn’t mean it in that way. But surely you should only have baby if you can afford one? And Instagram isn’t really work though is it, yes it pays good money but that’s not a good example to show young girls as it isn’t easy to get into.

Also their ‘careers’ on Instagram won’t last forever. They’ll be new reality stars that will replace them and their following will get bored and grow up. Working on Instagram is the easy way out, they could easily go to college or work part time.

I’m the same! Turning 30 and been with my partner 3 years but in no rush. I could never imagine being a Mum so young when I look back on how immature I was as a teenager! Hats off to the girls that do it and are great mums.

I want to get ahead in my career first, so does my partner, and hopefully buy a house in the next year or two. I went to University and enjoyed my 20s being carefree. I also went travelling and lived abroad for a few years.

Do feel a lot of pressure to have children soon because it’s something I’ve always wanted but I’d rather be in the best position financially to give my child the best life possible. I have a nephew who I adore and a niece on the way to keep me busy

I’m exactly the same although, I sometimes see how other people’s children behave and I think nope! I used to babysit this boy when I was in my early 20’s and he spat and kicked my boyfriend and I genuinely think he put me off having kids

This is exactly it. All I was saying was you should have your life sorted before bringing a baby into the world. You shouldn’t have to struggle for basic items and YOU should be paying for it. There’s nothing wrong with having a baby young but that shouldn’t be an option to be long term unemployed.

Yeah I agree. I understand that babies can be unplanned and come along at a time when you’re not fully sorted l but contraception exists for a reason! Plus a lot of these girls like Megan plan their babies so they can’t even say it was a surprise

It’s like Shannon forgetting to take the morning after pill. She knew the situation she was in and she knew Charlie didn’t want to live with her yet. She probably won’t have much space in her flat when the baby gets older. It’s like someone said before though Charlie probably didn’t live there so she could claim benefits which is wrong!

And the state these girls keep their houses. They’d been giving a home, don’t pay much rent yet they live like absolute pigs.

 

[GoLando]

Megan was desperate for her own little family unit.
It's why she had two kids close together even though she was living in a caravan.

When Dylan left I don't think she has ever accepted it.

When his mother died, even though she was there to help, I feel like she was trying to make him realise how she was part of his family. She completely took over.

I'll never forget how she had Dylan and his Dad making funeral wreaths. Surely not what you want to be doing when you've lost your wife/mother.

Then when Dylan still went back to Reeanne it shocked her.

She's clutching at Tel and trying to insert him into the hole Dylan left.
A little readymade replacement Daddy for her kids.
Her having a baby with him makes her think it'll make him stay.
He's an absolute lazy arse and she should tell him where to go regards washing his clothes.
She needs to Slow down. She is so young. There is no rush to have kids. So what if theres an age gap?
She should focus on the two she has.

And please Megan if you are going to have black hair sort out the four inch blonde / ginger roots.
It makes you look as if you are balding from a distance.
While you're at it. Throw away that weird gypsy diamante crown hair clip you insist on plonking on your head.

Can you blame her though? She's obviously not very well educated, she's not exactly got good prospects outside of raising a family. So of course it's natural she would want the "perfect" family unit for her and her kids. Isn't that what anyone with kids wants? She's not bright enough, or perhaps mature enough, to see she's just going to grow new problems by forcing Tel into the role. If you're on your own in a small flat with two kids and your ex is moving on with a new girl and baby...you'd definitely clutch at the first chance you think you have of having your own happiness.

I also think it was nice of Tel to go with her to the school. If you're a single mum and you're not getting on with your ex then you want someone to go with you and talk your ideas through. I just don't see why they couldn't have all gone and been mature about it - I definitely think Dylan was in the wrong for being vague about coming.

It's just a huge lack of maturity. When you have kids you need to put aside your own feelings and be civil. You have a parenting job which comes first, over and above your own distaste for your partner.

 

[Devondoll]

To be fair, I didnt have much career ambition when I had my kids. I had my first at 19 then second 17 months later. I got made redundant on maternity leave with my first. When my second was about 1 I got a part time job in Tesco just for a break and extra money. After I had them I found the desire for a career and am due to graduate university this year. My kids gave me the passion for developing a career.

And good for being 24 and living your life! Enjoy it, travel as much as you can, get a good career and then settle down.

I think you need to realise that Megan probably hasn't had the life choices other people have. If you're not from a family that supports you doing school and you grow up never really considering you can have ambition, then this is what you end up with.

Megan doesn’t have a beauty salon she rarely actually works their, sassi didn’t work in construction for long she now does people’s nails, Amber was not a youth worker she enquired about it , Shannon’s mum owns the clothing site which didn’t take of I think a lot of the jobs have been done to make stories for mtv, a lot of these jobs will also be cash in hand too

But there is nothing wrong with council houses you’d be stupid to pick private over council

Sorry but I just don’t think this is true amber had on her Facebook she worked as a youth worker.. obviously they wouldn’t be able to show it on MTV for privacy concerns, also there’s nothing wrong with working in beauty/doing nails. From Megan’s business Instagram she’s had quite a few people come in
