The baby borrowers does anyone else this is giving teens a false view of parenthood?

Question

first letting two teens play house for a few days and sleep in the same bed is NOT going to prevent pregnanvy

secondly these teens get a house how many pregnant or teens with babies do you know that would get a house

a stay at home parent and a workign parent making only 100 dollars per day do you know how impossible that is

they should be more realistic like make them live in a small apartment that the govt pays for make them live off food stamps and go to school and work because that is real life

do you agree or disagree

Answer 1

In a true to life world, I agree that the small apartment and stay at home parent on $100.00 is ridiculous.  I would have also liked to see them with much younger babies.  A 6-11 month old usually has SOME sort of tentative schedule.  I'm sure those teens weren't nearly as sleep deprived as a true new parent would be.    

This is, however, TV.  I don't think many parents would be volunteering their babies to live in a small apartment with 2 teens living off of food stamps.  Plus, it gives the teens more of an equal footing with the established parents.  The teens can't say "well of COURSE it was too hard, look at the horrible place we had to live and we had no food!"  

Truthfully, I think it gave them a (very) small taste of what it was like to be a parent to a baby.  I hope they all thought long and hard about if they were truly ready for a child.

Answer 2

I have not seen the show.  But I think it is a good idea for those crazy teens that want to be parents.  And once being a teen mother, I did not live off the gov't, I go to school.  And yeah my community does not have many teen moms, so I really can't say if most live off the gov't, I can just say from experience I did not, and I finished high school, and now in college.  But I think the show is a good concept, even though I have not seen it.

Answer 3

A-freaking-men!

Answer 4

I haven't watched the show, but I think the idea isn't really about the whole life, just showing the teens how rotten little kids can really be.
