[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, is it now quaint and old fashioned to bring kids into the world in a legally binding committed relationship?

Yes, wedlock.  Call it what you want, but how will she teach Bentley and her 2 other kids about sleeping around and protection when her own experiences, including claiming having no idea she was pregnant with a third kid until 1/2 way through her pregnancy.[/quote]

Marriage doesn't make kids happy and well adjusted, [b]having two loving and committed parents does, which her kids have[/b].  And yes, I do believe marriage is an antiquated institution and rapidly falling out of style.

LOL @ "sleeping around." What a prude![/quote]

Clearly, you do not watch the show.  It would be a real stretch to call her son Bentley's father loving or committed, though his parents seem like loving grandparents.  After their split, Maci lived with a new boyfriend, Kyle, ("Kaaaaahhhll") encouraged him to be a daddy to Bentley, and pressured him to marry her.  That did not work out, and he moved out.  Then she hooks up with the current guy and gets "surprise" pregnant with her daughter.  They move in together, she pressures him for a commitment, which he is reluctant to make, then she gets "surprise" pregnant again and he finally pops the question.  Just because a couple live together and share unplanned offspring does not make them "committed."  She has not provided a stable environment for her kids and values having a man in her life over making something of herself with all that MTV money.[/quote]

I have seen every episode. I was referring to Maci and Taylor as the two loving, committed parents. Or do you not consider step-parents to be real parents, either?

How is it not a stable environment? Because she had two boyfriends in the last 7 years, each of whom she seemed to be serious about? Maci and Taylor have been together since 2012. They seem to be monogamous, they do lots of activities together, [b]Taylor is involved in every bday and holiday, they communicate with each other, make decisions together, he spends time with Bentley and tells him he loves him....it's not the piece of paper that dictates the level of commitment, it's their actions and words.[/b]

I have no patience for Maci's fixation on the husband/wife labels and the way she pressured him, but he also did not help the situation by trying to think up some perfect proposal and waiting so long. Just get married for crissakes, you both want to.[/quote]

Yeah, that's great.  He is nice to his girlfriend's son and does stuff with him.  But he has no obligation to him and could leave tomorrow, no strings attached.  And then Bentley would have lost another father figure.  Maci is going about this backwards.  Yeah, I hope they get married and this is a permanent thing for everyone involved.  That would be great.  But a commitment involves willingly taking on an obligation.  I never saw that they made any explicit agreement to remain together, be faithful to each other, and raise a family together.  I think there was just a lot of hope on her part that he would eventually agree to all this if she just hung in there and applied some pressure.[/quote]
