What do you think about a tv show about teen parents?

Question

The other night I saw this show where teens borrowed babies from people to pretend they were parents. How do you think if you would hold up?

I think I would do just fine in the baby years but when it came to disciplining them I think I would have to work on that. Although I know what I want my kids to be like. I think its rare when you can say you hope they are mostly like yourself. Sure there are things that I would change about my life maybe do differently. But mostly as a person I think I am good. I just hope I can learn enough from my parents to raise any kids in the future that I might have.

Answer 1

I think it's a great idea. there are far to many teens out there to egar to be grown up. this is some thing that teaches them that it's not all fun and games. I like that not only to they have to look after the kids but the have to go to work and pay the bills as well as do the shopping and all the other day to day things that egsist in the grown up world.

Answer 2

I think id do fine...probly worry alot at first

I think its a good idea to expose teens to real babies- so many ppl want children and then are overwhelmed when they have them because there are so many new things you have to learn and do...i think the show was a good idea...not that im telling ppl to go get pregnant now...its just good experience to have

Answer 3

I loved that show. I think it showed many of teens that having and raising a baby is tough mentally, physically and financially  

Answer 4

I'd do fine.  My boyfriend and I have good communication.

All the couples on that show had problems or were wrecks before they started.  It wasn't realistic at all

Answer 5

I have not seen the show nor have I heard of it but I think it can be viewed both ways….it can show that teens CAN be good parents and it could give other teens that have the baby buzz hope that they can go ahead and be successful teen parents vs going out, getting a job/career/education, waiting till they marry, and planning to have children. It can also show the opposite and may be viewed as you guys put it, showing it’s a tough job, showing what they miss out on, showing what life is like for them.

Interesting though…

Are you girls teens saying you'd do fine being a teen parent? Because what you see on TV is edited and well, being a parent is a h**l of a lot harder than what TV shows make it out to be. And see, these kids on this show are giving the child back right? Yeah, it's easy being a "parent" when you can give the child up at any time. In the real world, it doesn't happen that way. You pay for your child, YOU care for your child, and all that responsibility falls on YOU....nobody there to take the baby when things get tough or when you need a break.
