I know they're not really celebrities, but I didn't know where else to put this.
Catelynn & Tyler are expecting again. I'm happy for them. They're definitely on the more "normal" end of the Teen Mom spectrum, and I'm sure they'll make good parents.
-
I actually really liked them! I'm assuming this time was a little more planned?
-
I secretly love them and always rooted for them!
-
I don't know, her mom has been awful to her in the past and is a drug addict - I wouldn't put it past her to make up a story like this for drug money. I won't believe it until Catelynn and Tyler put it out there. And considering that not so long ago he called off their engagement and has continued to say that he's very scared about the idea of marriage and doesn't know if he's ready for a commitment like that...I hope this isn't true!
-
I am really rooting for them!!
-
@winniebee: me too!
-
@wonderstruck: I follow them on twitter and they tweeted awhile ago about how they were going to start trying for another baby soon. But you're right, she could have totally sold the story for money.
-
I'm excited for them! They've said they were planning for this one, and they wanted to do it when the time was right that Carly was older and could understand better.
-
@lawbee11: I didn't know that! Eek, well I hope they've figured that stuff out then. But yeah, something tells me that they did not give the go ahead for Catelynn's mom to break the news for them even if it is true!
-
Hmm, I have mixed feelings about this. I really liked them and felt like they were the most normal, rational couple on the show. But have they really made their lives so much better that they are so much more ready for a child? I haven't seen the more recent seasons of Teen Mom, but last I knew they were shaky as a couple and still not very good at communicating. And their families are a mess and they haven't distanced themselves from them and their problems (and that was part of the reason they gave Carly up). I'm sure it is super hard to have given up a child and that plays a major factor in them wanting one so soon, but it seems like they should wait even longer until they are established and can stay away from their toxic families.
I'm happy for them, regardless, I guess I just question whether their situation has really improved that much in 5 years!
-
@Emsmems: I agree with everything you just said. Plus, even though they're not 16 anymore, 21 is still awfully young to have a child!
-
Did they ever get married? Good for them.
-
@Smurfette: probably not.
What has this couple done with their lives in the 5 years since they had their first child? I love them because they gave their child life and bravely put her up for adoption. But the whole glorified teen mom thing just disturbs me to my core.
-
Wow they stuck it out all this time. Good for them!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's what I was thinking too!
-
@Emsmems: I agree!!
-
I'm happy for them! They both graduated high school, have jobs and continue to spread adoption awareness. Plus they're adults! All of those seem like improvements in their situation since being 16 and pregnant.
-
@Emsmems: Agree totally. Adopting out Carly gave them the chance to really live their lives for themselves - to find out what their passions are, to get educated, to establish a career and to build a healthy relationship with each other (which, I'm not sure they've ever had, but knowing what a cluster their parents are, how could they??) or with other people. I hope they've really grown in the past 5 years; but I don't know if they have. They are still so young, wouldn't have been a horrible thing to wait a bit longer.
-
@Emsmems: they called off their wedding, last I heard. Which is why this announcement kind of makes me sad.
In my opinion, a baby is a much bigger commitment than a marriage. If you can't commit to a marriage, are you sure you want to bring a baby into that relationship? I hope it works out because I liked them.
-
Congrats to them! They knew it wasn't the right time before, I'm sure they put a lot of thought into it this time & I wish their family all the best.
-
@hellocupcake: Exactly how I feel! Less than a year ago Tyler called off their wedding because he didn't feel like he was anywhere near the point where he could make a lifetime commitment to Catelynn. So naturally, the next step is having another baby?
-
Congrats to them!
-
@hellocupcake: agree. You can get divorced and never see that person again, but having a child with someone guarantees you'll have to deal with them in some way, shape, or form for the rest of your life. So baby before marriage when you've said you're not ready to commit to marriage doesn't make sense to me.
However, I do admire Catelynn and Tyler and their courageous decision to not only put their daughter up for adoption, but to also share their story on national television in hopes of helping other teens in similar situations. I think they'll be great parents, they both seem like wonderful people. I just wish they'd worked out their relationship before bringing another child into the world.
-
Really?
So just because this is a huge improvement from their previous situation, it is something to excited about?
I mean....it really isn't something spectacular.
Their relationship does not appear to be ideal for bringing a baby in (from what we've seen in the show as well as their 4 year long engagement).
I'm not NOT happy but I am surprised that so many people are saying their super excited. -
Wait, I totally thought they were married! Maybe I am thinking of a different teen mom.
-
@simplyfelicity: You're probably confused because they got engaged and were supposed to be married - but he called it off and said he wasn't ready for marriage. What the eff dude, how can you be ready for a BABY but not ready for marriage?!
-
@wonderstruck: Oh, I see! I thought I remembered seeing a magazine cover in the grocery store about their wedding.
-
@wonderstruck: I'm not a psychologist and I obviously don't know them personally. However, I often wonder if you have very few examples of healthy marriages in your life growing up, if that impacts your perspective on it? If you've never seen it work out well in "real life" it could be a pretty terrifying thing.
-
@Applesandbananas: <<You can get divorced and never see that person again, but having a child with someone guarantees you'll have to deal with them in some way, shape, or form for the rest of your life. >>
Exactly! And you'd think from seeing the other Teen Moms they would know this!
