"Seriously, mom, why don't you ask me what's been going on with me and my life?" Morgan whines.
"So what's been going on with you?" her mom asks.
"Seriously, you don't even give a shit," Morgan says. Uh, she just asked you what you asked her to ask you. Go with it.
"I've been trying to ask you but you don't want to talk about it..." blah, blah, blah.
"I think your three hours are up," Morgan says. Brat.
"Sorry to disappoint you with coming, Morgan," her mother says as she leaves.
Four more hours until the parents pick up their packages...Etta farts. Miley punches Morgan (it's about time someone did, and Morgan, consider showering before being on TV, what's with these girls?), Zachary chows, and parents freak out about seeing their babies again.
It's about damn time someone took care of business.
Shay's parents show up first and Sasha's face says it all: I am totally taking a nap when they leave. Zachary's mom freaks out at the door and she is so happy to see him. Karson's mom is just thrilled her son's alive while Miley's parents are totally cool and hugging all over her.
For the love of God, woman, get me out of here!
Miley's dad tells Morgan she needs to sit down and talk with her mother and then the weirdest thing happens. Miley's mom starts crying about how Morgan and her mom are just like she and her own mother, and they really need to work it out, and I'm wondering if this show just became Dr. Phil's House of Painful Stories, Season 5. Morgan is faking interest. Miley's dad is totally cool about telling Morgan about how she's going to need her mother as she gets older and has her own children. He's so cool and calm, you just know Miley ain't ending up on the pole, you hear that Alicea?
Channel Medusa lately? Get a comb, you hippie.
Zachary's mom tells Kelly and Austin that they created a wonderful home for their son and she starts bawling her eyes out, then Kelly cries, then they think of how bad a mother Alicea was and they all cry more.
Jordan and Sasha get high marks from their baby's parents for being nice and respectful to one another. Good for them and their future careers as doctors AND lawyers AND teachers AND firefighters all rolled into one. These kids are good eggs. "I was so blessed I had you," Shay's mother tells them. Aww.
Hooooly God, this was hard!
Sleep or the sweet relief of death. I welcome either with open arms.
Karson's mom gives Alicea and Cory a mediocre ass-kicking that I was sincerely disappointed in. I was hoping for some major fireworks, but I guess neither one of them would have really listened. If I had been Karson's mom, I would have been so far up their butts the proctologist would have been like "DAMN!" She says she thought they were selfish (true), hurtful (true), mean (true), negative (true), and basically the worst parents ever (true). They should be neutered right then and there (triple dog true).
Your parenting skills have driven the bile to the tip of my tongue.
Be glad I'm not spewing it at you, you selfish little bastards.
Alicea gets defensive (I know, shocking) and says that Karson's mom should have had better advice for her and not "come after her" that first night. Alicea has a very strange opinion of criticism and people "coming after her." She felt attacked. Don't tell someone's kid to "starve" then expect gentle, helpful, Strawberry Shortcake-meets-the-Smurfs advice. Then Cory pipes up that they've never had to work on anything together so the teamwork thing is foreign to them. So...he'll be a bouncer at Bada Bing and you can work together that way. And again? Karson is fast asleep.
Etta's parents tell Sean they are proud of him and how he stepped up, but were disappointed in Kelsey for "checking out." Amen. "You weren't working because you wanted to work, it's because you didn't want to be here." You've got that right. Kelsey's tubes spontaneously tie themselves shut.
Ironic, isn't it? I've decide I don't want kids, yet I have to go pump!

Oh, my God . . . I thought about watching this show, but I think if I did, I'd be smashing my TV screen trying to reach through it and smack these teens around. I'll stick to the recaps. You say what I'm sure I'd be thinking, anyway, and it's much safer for everyone this way.

Yet again, DearestCrabby, I am impressed at your ability to recap this show, much less to even watch it. I bow to you. *bow*
:)

I wanted to strangle Alicea when I was watching this. She is a waste of a human being. I am sure this show does not get American Idol type ratings, but if I knew just 20 people saw me acting like that I would be mortified. My friend suggested that they send Alicea to Iraq. That would be perfect for her. Get her out of here!

Do you ever see those women at the store and think to yourself, "Damn, when did you stop caring?"
Yes, now you know.
I've been that woman. I had all four of my kids within six years and I think I wore a ponytail for most of the 90s.
Does anyone besides me think that the parents of these babies are drinking bong water or something? I picture Michael Keaton's face on "Mr. Mom" when the punkrock teen shows up at the door all, "Dude. I'm the BABYsitter..." and he slams the door in her face.

I am afraid that due to lack of feedback there won't be anymore recaps of Baby Borrowers...and that would be a tragedy! So better late than never, I'm posting to say thanks for this recap and keep up the good work my Dear Crabby!!
