What a bleeping state to be in. I despair of this tit being normalised for my children. In this day and age of education and choices, 4 biological children with 2 women at Dylan’s age is a bleeping disgrace. No financial security no career no self funded housing for any of the 4. I’d castrate my sons myself
I could not think of anything worse being crammed into a tiny flat with 5 kids and a dog
Agreed. 5 children between them (Ree-Ann and Dylan) and she turned 21 this year.
Also remember Megan in the early days of Teen Mom UK, I don't think McKenzie had even turned 1 and she was pushing for them to have baby #2. Living somewhere you could barely swing a cat. Next episode: "mummy's pregnant again!"
When it all started going sour between her and Dylan I remember her step dad going properly nuts in one episode, along the lines of "we told you this would happen, but you wouldn't listen". Her mum also seemed quite upset for her, 2 kids at 19 with a boy who came across as pretty useless.PornstarMartinix

After 4/5 years you'd expect to see some growth? They're all still the same immature cast despite being in their 20s now

Right? You know the OG Americans girls tried to get an education, tried to better themselves for their kids, didn’t rush into multiple pregnancies.
I’m starting to find the UK one tragic, just low educated young girls, literally with the only purpose in life to breed and go to raves. Chloe for all her talk hasn’t done a lot has she? She works for her dad and in a shop.

It’s just too easy. Get pregnant, get a flat, get the benefits.
Give them a platform on Tv and suddenly they get social media famous and can get income from promoting utter shite (those teeth things and bleeping face beard things... jeez)
It’s all too easy to never have to work to achieve anything for them. But what example does it set to the kids? Chloe grates on me but at least they’ve both always worked, although seems she’s trying to bin it off for yew tewbbbb

I think that's the difference there is no benefit system in America so they have to get an education to get a good job they cant get council flats either so have to sort themselves out!

Ummmm it’s only Meg/Ree-Ane and maybe Amber (potentially) on benefits. And actually we don’t even know if they are?? Meg has her own business.. Chloe, Shannon, Mia all seem to be doing good for themselves.
Also let’s please not turn this into a rant about the welfare system. And also not make quotes about America that aren’t true. There aren’t council houses but there is subsidised housing which is essentially the same thing. Also the girls on both teen mom shows got paid a hell of a lot more which allowed them to go get an education. Many of the girls from 16 and Pregnant who have done better for themselves have married into money. Over here, you don’t just have a baby and get a flat. Some women are in mother and baby units for years! In my area the housing waiting list time is over 6 years. I know people living in a one bed studio with three children!
I’m all for slating their parenting and I mean I definitely don’t think it’s wise of Dylan/Ree to have five children at their age. But please let’s not get into the benefits conversation.. it’s lazy and simplistic

We do have subsidised housing in America but the wait list is multiple years long and many private landlords won't accept a subsidised housing voucher if you're able to get one. There is a lack of affordable housing even if you don't need help from the government but I know the UK has those issues too particularly if you want to buy a house. I like to look around on rightmove from time to time. Even after the doing the exchange rate I still don't know how anyone under 40 can afford a mortgage. The American Teen Mom girls are paid much better but as I'm sure we can all agree that the money is not worth it. The children were born into the show and have had no say about being filmed for nearly their entire life. I really feel for the children on Teen Mom OG/2 for some of the footage that is out there of them and their family.
I think we're in a unique time with social media and I say that as someone in their early 30s. Now you can do instagram ads and make quick money for a short video. I don't necessarily have a problem with it but I think we're losing a generation to quick easy money who will then spend it to show off for social media. It's not sustainable long term but it seems every pre-teen and teenager wants to be a social media influencer.
I sound like a crabby adult
realise how Well said! Making money from paid ads probably only makes pennies unless you're in the top 100 global influencers - and it's clear who they must be / they've carved out a "career" over many years and make a serious, steady income - and good for them.
The Teen Mom UK girls flogging tat / cheap rubbish can't actually be making them very much at all, plus I think the general public are wising up to instagrammers who advertise any old tit they're suddenly "obsessed" with - yet have never mentioned this brand before / most people have never heard of it
In an earlier season Amber was making strides to study social work - how great would it have been to follow that story and see her go through the course and get the job at the end of it all?
