But how many times one ever now and then yes but maybe this is about lots of mismanagement

@@dianewarner7505 If it was lots of times the sister and parents would have gleefully said it was, they were not interested in depicting Megan in any kind of positive way so if it was a regular feature you can bet they'd have been counting. Megan was under a microscope anytime she so much as looked at her own baby, 3 sets of highly judgmental eyes on her,all hoping she'd fail, thats a tough crowd to impress.

I have never fallen asleep or slept through one of my babies crying! I became such a light sleeper that I could hear them stir before they even started crying to eat! I am their mother. If they don't have me, who do they have?

Uh me. The second my baby cried I was up. Sorry not an excuse.

Are you serious? This happens often, stop making excuses.

Exactly

Very true.

They want her to be mad and leave the room. But they want her to leave the baby bc he’s the holy grail and she’s the peasant that birthed him in their eyes. It’s disgusting.

It's almost as if she made a mistake that ruined her life and the life of her child, and she is screwed no matter what she does, because of it.

So what?

Well that’s good but everyone is different.

​@@Bee-ly4gx😊😊😊

❤ I hope your child appreciates it and knows all the sacrifices you made with love ❤️

Where was the daddy? You said that you were alone?

This ❤

She’s the scapegoat and they’ve been waiting for her to so called fuck up so they can rag on her more: to distract from the reason why she a young mom in the first place she didn’t feel loved by these folks and with her son she has someone who loves her

I agree. That little girl… ooh. And her mama seems to push her to getting up and leaving the room on purpose but gets mad bc she takes her baby with her. She wants her daughter to go away but the baby to stay and it’s so messed up. Especially bc they would complain if she didn’t take him with her too! I could NOT live there with them. Ready or not I would be gone. I think personally that I would be and my child would be better off camping then to be put thru that mental torment as a new mom and overwhelming doting to a young child. They stopped caring about their daughter the minute she brought that baby home. Hes a “redo” or a replacement to them.

It is none of the younger sister’s business . How dare they allow her to do so ! What a nasty brat !

I agree 100%

So tru

Smoking marijuana was disgusting . Shame on her .

@@BlackStump172oh please

​@@BlackStump172 well I mean she's grown up in an abusive home, reproductive coercion is domestic violence. No one has the right to pressure ANYONE to get an abortion. The fact she was having unprotected sex shows how she was searching for love validation and affection because she sure as shit don't get it from her parents. They think she's a shitty person and mother, well they raised her. I don't blame her for using drugs to cope with over whelming emotions and trauma. I hope she gets the hell away from them, gets intensive therapy and lives a healthy happy life with her beautiful baby.

​​@@BlackStump172 ? No one is defending her smoking mj. Why jump to thar conclusion enough that you'd comment on it? Edited because autocorrect autofailed

Natural mother here, I took care of children from 13 on...for more than 25 years. For some of us it's not hard to be maternal it just comes naturally. And is not hard at all. I loved my baby from his first tiny cry...even before I held him.

Me too very natural to mother our 2 daughters & it started at conception! The best 2 things that has every happened to date our daughters are 21 & 26 mothering Never STOPS!

@@r.d.durfey5862instead of bragging that it was not hard for you, show empathy and compassion for those who it is hard for. Postpartum is a very serious medical issue for many women!

@@r.d.durfey5862that’s great but she’s talking about the women who it doesn’t come to so quickly and need help

That’s what your grateful for??? Why would he bash her? You think the Dr. Isn’t here to help??? That’s what he does! Are you confused?

@@Tom-mx4eqhe does bash some people for their stupidity.

She needs to be a mom and stop giving her everything...

@@Tom-mx4eq no but sometimes especially more recently dr Phil comes across as cold and uncaring. It happen a a lot

She should’ve been bashed for being a terrible irresponsible mom. Her age has nothing to with it she’s just careless and selfish. I became a mom at 17 and moved out and took care of my son all by MYSELF no help from anyone because my family disowned me. My son is now 10 almost 11 and he very well taken care of.

Sounds like an INCREDIBLE program!!!!!!!

That is an amazing program! God bless the people who started it!

It's nice but most kids are better with family in a stable environment. Family first unless it's a problem home.

@@arrock8190 If a teenager becomes a mother and continues to live at home with her parents, there are ALWAYS problems. This is simply because the girl's parents want to continue raising her and interfere in everything that concerns the baby. The girl is now a mother herself and every mother has her own parenting style and wants to do things the way she thinks is right. These collide with each other and cause problems. When a teenager becomes a mother, she needs to be professionally guided in caring for the baby and learn good, professional parenting skills WITHOUT the emotions of her own mother. WITHOUT her mother forcing what she thinks is best on her. The girl has to find her own way. You can't let a girl be a mother and still want to raise her yourself and constantly interfere. that doesn't work! That's why young mothers and their children are better off in an institution where there are people who help her in everyday life, support her, give her information, show her the path she has to take to become independent (education, studies, career, finances, etc ) but where love and emotions are not a “disturbing factor”. Young mothers need the love of their parents WITHOUT the burden of the parents taking responsibility for the baby. WITHOUT conflict about what your own mother thinks is right in relation to the baby. We all learn from our parents' mistakes and therefore want to do things differently when raising our own children. Teenage mothers don't get the chance to do this if they live under the same roof as their own mothers and the mother doesn't yet see them as an independent adult person but as a child! this ALWAYS leads to problems, stress and damage to the mother-daughter relationship

We have that in Holland

So true! But I think the most urgent message is for us women because we have no choice but to deal with the outcome while men can make themselves scarce and choose not to step up.

​@frankiejackson4960 That's why it's so easy to be a man, in my opinion. They can get away from responsibilities. They can knock up hundreds of females, can slack off on their job, can escape being a parent, can do a lot of things that wouldn't make them any less of a person where as in women have to work hard or else people will ridicule women even more. Women are minority. Men are dominant, especially white men. They can do whatever they want. Be as selfish as they want, and men are still dominant. Women can't make mistakes. And when we do, men give us a hard time. Sometimes I wish I can be a man. I feel my life would be 50 percent easier. Men come with baggage. But none of their baggage is anything close to what being a woman is.

Good point

omg don’t start with this.

Very well said a lot of people should not even be parents, your raising someone to be successful and contribute to the next generation

I think yr choice was better. A child should not be having a baby. Contraception and abortion can be used not to mention that a 14 yearold should not be having sex!

Me too ! My sister had a baby at 16, and I had my first at 33!!

My sister's and brothers told me that I was the best birth control.They were all in their late teens or almost in high school when I was born. None of them were teenage parents. They said they knew they would never go that way after having to have me around all the time.

Me too

Oh wow

THIS INNOCENT BABY NEEDS PROTECTION!!!!!!!

If it was a man, you would've said the total opposite smh

Yesssssss!!!!! That's what hurt me the most as a kid is my mom always just got upset about my issues whatever they were and never would just pause and kindly talk things out to get to the bottom of things. She made me feel bad all the time

I imagine your parents told you what you needed to hear. Sounds like they are good parents, maybe not perfect but at least they try.

Wise loving parents

I think having lived separately first is a huge thing. You, your parents and even the kids respect you as the head of your own family when you move back in. It’s different when you’re 18 and have never done a thing on your own.

Good parents!

Where are the fathers?

She shouldn't have been doing adult thing then she would not be in this situation.

@@JOHANNA-qd6izgirl stfu. it’s hard for any women at any age to

That's why I thank God everyday I don't have any kids at 28 years old! I never understood why anybody would want kids, they hinder your life!

​@@JOHANNA-qd6izexactly like she chose to be fast and opened her legs smh

.​@@latinadavis3691

I do not like that mother and sister at all . Disgraceful that she thought and called her a ? s..t ?

Not the answer, you do not have to separate from other teens, you need an outlet, but just prioritize.

Well done you, I hope you and yours are doing well.

I thought her mother was awful. No wonder she just let them do everything, they kept taking the baby away and telling her she was doing everything wrong. Her whole family is treats her poorly. Like she’s an outsider and doesn’t even belong there.

Correct, sex always has the potential to create a baby. Birth control can greatly reduce the probability, but never eliminates it.

Same!!!

@@psychicrenegade Good for you. Those who don't get it don't understand.

They do tend to do things that are trendy, are you living under a rock?

Yes and the parents should hv taught her if contraception

Fun not in front of them, she caught them on the phone, talking to her family members on the phone! Why you would do that is just so, ridiculous! Then, on top of it the things they said to her first, especially the fact that the dad called her a hoe, that is so, just a uncalled for comment! The mom said, when, they were on the phone she wasn’t supposed to hear all that! Well,,,,,,,,anyone knows you can hear people talking on the phone through the whole house! So, your daughter tells her parents that she’s pregnant, something you should take a minute to soak in and, figure out the next steps within just your own family for awhile! The thing is the parents can’t even behave like parents because, the minute their children tell them something in confidence,your turning your back on them and, calling up other family members and, bashing them, they are lucky she trusted them enough to tell them! You can see it just by looking at her mother, her mother seems to think she’s holier than now!

I wonder how old the mother is ?

She is not even working! How will she move out and look after herself and her child!!!!

I think so, coupled with her age (18 years old).

Or depression period. She used to cut herself.

She definitely does

Did you provide a stable home and not have a line of guys coming in and out?

Remember not only was it her mother that bashed her, remember the dad bashed her to and, called her a hoe! That is just so, uncalled for that it isn’t funny!

How can you create a positive environment for a toxic person that has zero self accountability and responsibility. She had no business getting pregnant. Her parents should get custody of the baby and kick her out.

Dr Phil said the parents were good parents

Levans3447 He cant know. He doesnt witness their parenting

The church would probably frown on it...that's why

Good for you but most teenage mums dont make it. One should hv a baby after carefull thinking and at a mature age.

Supermom❤

Amen!!

Great, not gr8!

Seriously, that mother has so much hatred for her daughter because she actually believes that her daughter just uses the baby as leverage to punish her. Like is she supposed to leave the room WITHOUT her baby? Weren’t you just complaining that she isn’t with her baby enough? Now you’re upset because she’s removing the baby from the room, where people are fighting and she needs a minute alone with her baby? This grandma is effing ridiculous.

They are

The military

of course their are. Parents should allow themselves a break, you can't look after others if you don't look after yourself. Just because you're a parent you don't have to martyr yourself

But there should be. That’s the fucking point.

@@mackenziekirk6030 so who should be giving you a break?

My kids are grown and successful, and I definitely had breaks and time for self-care. Ideally the other parent helps in this regard, but it is not wrong to seek babysitting from others. However, babysitting is different than the fulltime micromanaging these parents are doing.

​@@carolokbrblol if ur married then ur spouse

Given the chance I'm sure she will

When you’re in foster care like I was at 16 they give you the choice to be in independent living where you literally have your own apartments and live like an adult but are kicked out on your literal 18th birthday so she has zero excuse
