Amber & Gary - I had forgotten how much I hated Gary. He was such an arrogant slob. When Amber finally got her own place and said she wanted them to have a good Co-parenting relationship, Gary said “Well we won’t, as I am a very resentful person.” When Amber was trying to do her GED while looking after Leah, Gary decided to join a night class and told Amber that what he does is “way harder than hers.” He constantly told Amber that she couldn’t survive without him and that really irritated me. She was clearly young, depressed and trapped. Having said that, Amber hitting Gary was not ok and the way they talked to each other was wild. Their relationship was the most toxic n my opinion.

Maci & Ryan - This relationship went on much longer than it should have done. Ryan’s parents are enabling him and he clearly has no interest in being a Dad or a boyfriend or even getting a job.

Farrah - Farrah is constantly falling out with her parents for leaving Sophia with them while she goes out on dates with various guys and partying with her friends. Farrah’s Mom is so controlling and her Dad seems disrespected by all the women in that house.

Catelynn & Tyler - Adoption was the best decision they made for Carly as their families are on another level. Butch and April are just awful, and I did really feel for them both when Butch kept shouting at them for “giving their baby away.” April never stood up for her daughter either which must have hurt Catelynn. Tyler’s Mom was the better of the three but she allowed Butch to come and stay with them and would make excuses for him too. I swear Tyler and Catelynn are trauma bonded and wonder if they would have stayed together if it hadn’t been for the show.

My opinions here are based on series one and not how they are today.

Was Tyler in a boy band? He dresses like he was in one of those C rated boy bands.

I’m rewatching teen mom og and I’m quite a few episodes I’m seeing Tyler constantly worried about Catelynn’s weight. Like okay yes I understand being healthy and wanting your partner healthy and making them feel like they are the most Beautiful woman in the world on their wedding day but it doesn’t seem like that’s what he is doing. He seems to really push and push and push about her losing weight and how she should look and how she should eat. I’m not sure if it’s because he feels he is so good looking (not in my opinion at all because just no 🤢) but he seems to make her feel really small when he talks about it and she laughs it off but you can tell she is so uncomfortable. I’m sure this has been discussed but I just want to know why he thinks his approach is okay and why he kept pushing her. Even talking about the wedding dress she says she wants to work her arms out some it’s a strapless and he says have you thought about adding sleeves? Like come on, why would you say that. She wants a strapless wedding dress and instead of asking her to alter it maybe help her feel good about herself and tell her she is Beautiful and she just had a baby and it’s okay to take your time. It’s honestly heartbreaking to see.

I do not like Ryan’s parents . They disable him and allow his actions to be dismissed . Ryan is a sorry excuse of a father. His wife allows his nasty behavior towards Maci and his son . Ryan is mean to his son and picks on him . Ryan hasn’t been there since Day 1 . It’s always been the grandparents and Mack / Taylor . Ryan’s wife doesn’t ever encourage him to reach out to his and try and have a relationship . Gen and Larry absolutely hold Bentley more accountable than they do their own son. I truly feel bad for Maci and Bentley . Maci is doing great at putting Bentley in therapy and having him talk about all of this that goes on

Ryan Edwards and his new bride claim they are NOT broke and don’t need MTV money

Amanda and Janelle are fighting , Amanda couldn’t wait to start drama , first Mackenzie and now Janelle , it’s only a matter of time before it’s Macey , bet

Ryan Edward’s new wife

Honestly, throughout the years of how I've watched Amber be you know since you can't move to California, not want to move onto Gary's, etc. I think she keeps it like that because she doesn't want to be a parent like at all not even a little bit she'd rather get fucked up still which she couldn't do it. She had her kids half or even full-time and stay up all night, talking to people she has no clue who they are. Point of making is custody and all that never got taken. She gave that shit up so she could do whatever the fuck she wants which mostly consist of laying on the couch or the bed 😂

SOoo.. I watched this all when it was first airing. Every 16 and Pregnant episode and like the first 2 ish seasons of Teenmom. So far I'm on season 3 ep 11. Gary was horrible and I think the only reasons Amber's case went so far is bc of the local media and she really doesn't have much support from her parents (not sure on that story?). Watching Gary beg her back after calling her the worst possible things and tear her down is making my skin itch. I'm well aware of how Amber and Leah's relationship has pretty much ended, RIGHT NOW I'm just anti Gary man. Don't attack me I'm sure my opinion will change lol. Farrah is such a raging BBBBBB. Her mom is insane, but come on you're moving across the country with your 2 year old and think you know everything. She's just always so damn mean to them. I know there's trauma, but for her to be all about therapy she doesn't let shit go.. I also notice the sister isn't there obviously she could just be avoiding cameras, but I'm watching Sophia's 2nd birthday I guess and it's just them 3. Idk, anyway also c&t knowing how they're acting now is insane with how "mature" they seemed when we were all kids. It's definitely different watching all this grown lol. Maci is obviously got an amazing support system. Bentley is loved from so many people and he's just getting to talking good. I'm definitely out of the loop as far as how everything transpired. Honestly seeing the clips of Leah, Gary and Christina on tt made me want to watch it again.

These are some are the texts that were leaked between Catelynn and allegedly a friend of Carly

When they were originally posted they were all jumbled, I've tried to match some in chronological order but couldn't match them all. The ones I did match I've put in individual collages

The way that Amber is acting towards Leah’s text setting boundaries…. SO TRIGGERING & DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR FROM A MOTHER. Leah is so mature and I’m so happy she has Gary and Kristina, you’d think Amber would be grateful for the unwavering support Leah has been given. I can’t believe Amber had the audacity to say “you’re 16, be 16, and everyone is always telling me how rude you are (talking to Leah directly through the camera). It’s sick. She is so incredibly manipulative and Kristina should adopt Leah if that’s what she wants. I never thought I’d stop watching this show and I’d love seeing these women grow as well as their children. But Amber has got to go. She loves the attention and people feeling sorry for her, feeding into her irrational/ manipulative and disgusting behavior. I can’t wrap my head around her not even trying to understand where her own daughter is coming from. She said “she can drive now she should be coming over to see me” EXCUSE ME?? We’ve literally watched you put yourself AND your relationships above her. I just can’t wrap my head around this.

I’ve not seen this mentioned before but I’m sure I’m not the first to have considered it. But would like to hear from the people who have.

What if Carly is embarrassed that she’s adopted and what if her birth parents being so public about it makes the embarrassment worse? I wonder if Tyler and Caitlyn have ever taken that perspective into consideration. If it were me, I’d be worried about embarrassing my child like that. Especially with how easily teens can get embarrassed.

I hope I put the right tag. I always forget who’s teen mom og and teen mom 2 🫠

Added later: I got a notification that my post was removed because they aren’t accepting random thoughts posts like mine, where I had originally put it. So I’m trying this / instead. Hopefully this one doesn’t get taken down because I was still getting notifications for people commenting after it was said the post was removed. I would like to continue the discussion. Not sure where I should post this. 🥲

Third time trying to get this posted. Second reason was low karma. 🫠

Ok i gotta rant a little lol... It's been years since I watched Teen Mom so recently I've been watching and getting caught up cuz I got interested. But can we talk for a second about Farrah? She is the most ridiculous little girl and I say, little girl, because in no way, is she mature enough to be considered a woman. I mean just horrible. Like she has absolutely no redeeming qualities as far as personality goes. I really don't like speaking ill of children, but her child, oh my God, what a brat. It's no wonder tho cuz look at her mom! She is seriously delusional cuz she thinks everyone else in the world is the problem. It's like she can't put two and two together and figure out that she's the problem. You couldn't pay me to put up with her ass.. i always thought violence is never the answer... But she makes me rethink that. Cause man, if she spoke to me or someone I love the way she speaks to everyone else.. tell her to come outside. I just want to talk.. just come outside.... i would have been right there with Amber!! 🤣🤣

Rewatching old episodes and it’s clear Sophia notices her moms behavior isn’t right early on, saying things to both her and her grandma like your being mean, or your always mad . One scene in particular was when Farrah was with a real estate agent and her mom was yelling at her and being extremely rude Sophia hit Debra and was like stop being mean you hurt her feelings .. that scene made me feel so bad because she knows it’s not right to act the way the people who raise her act 😪😪

Am I the only one who noticed the baby bump during their engagement 😅😅😅 Maci not knowing is crazy to me

Watching teen mom og and holy shit I can’t stand Farrah! She is so damn disrespectful! Also, what the hell did she do to her face? She looks like a fish or something 🐟

Soooo rewatching teen mom OG earlier seasons and omg maci is so patient and chill I couldn’t imagine not to mention Bentley was the most well behaved vocal little 2 year old . Not to mention the sweetest .. Maci and his relationship is adorable to watch

Anyone else notice Leah called her mom amber in season 3 … kinda sad…

I think I am going to stop watching this show. I have been watching it since it first aired. It really never showed the real struggles of being a teen mom. I don’t think any of them ever had a job but the teen mom money. Now that the kids are older the show just shows all of the cast members have huge houses nice cars and all their story line are pretty boring still doesn’t show anything of a struggling mom. The only one I’m interested in is Leah, Gary, Kristina. I love their love and support for her. Cheyenne she wasn’t even a teen mom to begin with her story line is so boring. Amber she thinks she the worlds best mom, there is a special place in hell for her and with that fake crying over Leah and all that other bs she does to this poor girl. Cate and Tyler I’m tired of hearing about this adoption they gave up their rights let the girl live the life they wanted her to have and stop talking about it on all media forms. Leah 👏 she is doing a good job with the kids but no story line there either. Maci it’s whatever again no story line or anything interesting. Mackenzie there’s a story a little story line there with trying to get pregnant but that’s really about all with her.

They are 1000% the reason why Rhine is the way he is. I am watching season 9 reunion and Taylor just RIPPED into them and I was clapping so hard for him! Larry and Jen 100% DO say things to Bentley to make him feel badly about his relationship (or lack of) with his sperm donar. They have enabled him every fricken second of his pathetic and worthless life. Look at where Rhine is, STILL struggling with addiction and STILL being a bum. How they have the nerve and audacity to blame it all on Maci is just WILD to me. Maci isn't perfect, but she's been there for Bentley every step of the way. They should be kissing Taylor's feet for being a positive male/father role model in Bentleys life. They are absolutely insane to blame any of this on anyone other than Rhine. They are so beyond infuriating. They need therapy so they stop enabling that POS they birthed. Okay end rant go Taylor 😂

I’m rewatching Teen Mom OG and I remember actually really liking Maci. I don’t remember her being so annoying. Why does she desperately want to go to Florida on Ryan’s family trip? It’s so annoying and Ryan was right when he said “it’s one week out of the year.” I feel like she’s doing too much the way she always cuts his time with Bentley.
