I guess the point of all this is that teen parenthood is miserable no matter what. Maybe this show is interesting to kids still in high school who don’t have to face the exact worries of money, space, time, childcare, etc. every damn day, but I personally would rather watch paint dry, because when it dries, then the wall is painted, and that’s an improvement and something positive has been accomplished.

Hey now, heeeey noooow…

The new parents bicker, in a scene that could have totally been avoided if they hadn’t had to talk to each other for the cameras and had just turned on the TV. Devon’s being a tad princessy and order-aroundy here. I miss the Devon of 40 minutes ago who was satisfied with things. Going to Afghanistan comes up again. Applying to jobs all day for TWO WEEKS gets frustrating. But that kid keeps getting cuter! Colin plays with him and they both smile. I guess he re-enlisted?

Devon tells the camera she’s missing out on a lot of things. Everything but eyeliner, basically.

Don’t dream it’s over, y’all. Ep 12 next week! Dead babydaddy! Because we’re not bummin’ enough over here. All you non-pregnant Gasmii, make me proud and chug every time they show his picture.

CathodeTube has wanted to be a recapper ever since she read the MightyBigTV interview with Sars and James Van Der Beek. She lives in Chicago with her husband and baby son, and adores hip-hop, cop shows, competitive reality TV, and all foods involving melted cheese. She used to copyedit made-up blogs for the "reputation management" of people who got themselves on The Dirty or Mugshots.com. Turns out google-bombing doesn't work anymore, so now she writes product copy, is much happier, and still wears stretchy pants at all times.

    Haha, it took me a while to get the picture subtitles (even though the recap is titled Crowded House). I absolutely love that song. Kudos!

    @CathodeTube I finally figured out how to keep this show from making me too depressed.

    Starting with this episode, I don’t watch it! I just read your funny recap and ROFL!

    And now, thanks to @NikkiHughes and @MissyV110 (RHOC minicap) for the brilliant idea of reading all recaps as if Honey Badger Randall was narrating it to me, I’m sitting here with Kleenex on my eyes.

    I know you have to watch this train wreck of tristeza. But try the NikkiMissy technique. Not just on your recap which is already funny. Give it a real test. Like the saddest poem or whatever you can think of.

    See?

    Even though you still have to watch this show at least you’ll be able to cheer yourself back up!

    Hahaha, that idea kicks ass! Honey Badger Randall makes everything better! And it makes me happy if my recap can give you 60 minutes you wouldn’t have had. I always appreciate the comments!

    @Lo, thank you for explaining it because I was so confused LOL.

    Towards the end, Devon got on my nerves but as far as 16aP girls go, she was a good one. And very pretty.
    I don’t understand why they didn’t just rent a place though. It’s like it didn’t even cross their minds. I mean she was like 17, he’s…what…21? 22? At that age and without a high-paying job, you don’t need to be a homeowner…it’s just more stress than its worth to be taking out 125k in loans to buy a house for you, your baby momma (not even your wife) and your infant. In Richmond, they could have gotten a nice two bedroom + two bath with utilities for under 2k a month and been happy as clams. I wonder why the mom didn’t explain that to them and recommend that they rent.

    The mom was funny too though, because the whole episode, she had her feet up on a table chilling, not the slightest bit concerned. I mean…she caught her daughter’s boyfriend in her house one morning , and just let him move in there. He’s a nice young man, turned out to be one of the best baby daddies so far, and gets extra points for being a veteran, but still…where they do that at?
    If that’s how the mom approached parenting in general, I’m kind of not surprised that she has two teen mom daughters.

    I had nails just like that when I was 10 (aka a long time ago). They were hot pink Lee Press on Nails. I have a firm belief that she has the same ones.

    I was getting real irritated during the time they were talking about BD needing to get a job that Princess there never once uttered the words “I could try to get a job, too.” It isn’t like she’s going to school anymore and there are so many people in that house someone should be able to watch the kid while she’s slinging hash or refilling the Slurpee machine or something.

    I should stop watching the show – all of the voiceovers and confessionals tick me off because they want me to feel sorry for them because they can’t be a kid, they can’t go to prom, they can’t play beer pong until dawn, etc. Well, maybe I’m cruel, but I don’t feel sorry for them. It isn’t hard to not get knocked up – I’ve managed to do it for years. And I’m not saying I don’t feel for people that do get accidentally pregnant, but I don’t feel sorry for those that choose to parade their sob story du jour on MTV. I do feel sorry for the babies – I hope that MTV is setting up trusts for each of them to pay for the future therapy bills.
