1. Chelsea - She is by far the most hands on, has a career, invested in her daughter and knows Adam is full of crap. She seems so much more down to earth now, and I think the new guy is a great influence. Her dad seems like a tough to please sort of guy and the fact that he likes him says a lot.

2. Kaitlyn - She does have anger issues but <b>puts her children first and her marriage a close second, even if there are some big issues there. She seems like she's making an effort to work on her anger issues but Javi just seems like an ass. Not sure what happened when they weren't filming...</b>

3. Janellle - The fact she isn't last says a lot. She's taking steps to get her career, she is showing an active interest in seeing Jace more (and get custody), and she seems a tad more mature. Course when she talks to her mom the maturity level drops, but that's always a difficult thing to overcome. She and Barb should be in weekly therapy if they want to mend their relationship. I have to give props to what's his name (blanking on her fiance). She mentions getting custody of Jace and keeping him from Barb, and he reminds her that's not the "right" thing to do.

4. Leah - Leah was doing so so well... now she's at the bottom of the totem pole. She's a wreck. It's quite sad. You don't keep one child from therapy if another is sick, you have a contingency plan. The kids should be with Corey more, he seems to have a more stable life and a lot of reliable backup.

Wow, I totally disagree with this. I think Kail and Javi are equal partners in their marriage disaster, but I don't see her putting her kids or marriage first. Kail is first. Kali's social life is second. She is good with her kids, I'll give her that (I think she and Chelsea are equally good moms when only talking about interacting with their kids). But we've never seen her actually working in the marriage--she argues, she complains, she SAYS they need to work on it but then says they are going to divorce because they don't work on it. Several times Javi has brought up their therapist's advice and Kail has shot him down. Javi is way controlling, though, I agree there.

I think the real issues in their marriage are that they are both way too immature to be married with kids, and they have two very different ideas of what marriage looks like. My sister is a lot like Kail in this regard--she goes for girls weekends on occasion, and enjoys down time away from the family. Fortunately, she and her husband see eye-to-eye and he also gets time away. And they are great parents. Javi needs more couple time. Given that his sister and mom seem to be over at their house a lot, and we've seen his relatives around, it looks like he is more family-centered and expects that wife and husband spend most of their time together with the kids. Nothing wrong with either of these two "visions," they're just incompatible.

On the latest episode, Leah told her lawyer that Corey's work schedule was 8-3:30. Sounds perfect to me! He can drop the girls off on his way to work and his wife can pick them up after, and he would be home soon. But Leah's mom AND her lawyer just seem baffled that Corey would request custody when "he WORKS!" Yes, I know that seems like such a foreign concept to this clan, but it's possible to work AND care for your children!

Right, especially considering the parent who DOESN'T work (Leah) can't even get them to school and therapy!

+1 I couldn't believe it when she told her lawyer that her alarm couldn't wake her up, or some such nonsense! Leah is spinning out of control, and taking those girls along for the ride. I hope that Corey does get more time with the girls, and I don't blame him one bit for being upset that they aren't going to school on time, or therapy on a regular basis!!

I agree. She is a off her rocker. I think she is lazy, rude, and selfish. She wants everything her way and then gets upset when someone calls her out on her BS. Corey is a much more stable home for this girls. I don't understand the logic behind the girls not going during the week. If they are in school, why does it matter that we works? I think Leah want tut child support money.

I also can't stand how she treats Jeremy. She whines about him being on the road and working. She should be supportive to have a man that is working so she can stay home. Not to mention he is supporting children that aren't even his. She is very unappreciative and spoiler. Her mom is just like her.

I thought this was bizarre too. Especially since the girls were in (or supposed to be in) pre-school all day. So they wouldn't be home when he was at work anyway...Corey is clearly the more stable parent.

I think he should have the girls all of the time and their druggy mother can have supervised visitation.

In real time, that is what he wants, he is afraid to ask the court for it because Leah is too fragile having just gotten out of rehab. In show time, he is asking her for half-and-half.

He also will not be appearing on the show next season, so if he has full custody of the twins at that point they won't appear either.

Leah is divorced (again) now and moved in with her new boyfriend, and his children. And her children. Corey needs to go for full custody. He and Miranda seem to have a much more stable home, even with a baby of their own on the way.

Does anyone know if Corey has gotten joint custody? If Leah just got out of rehab, methinks he has a pretty damn good case for joint (or more) custody.

He's always had joint custody. He wanted more custody when he took her to court last year. If you can believe the Radar articles, he is not pursuing full custody right now because he thinks Leah is too fragile from being fresh from rehab.

He had weekends but was looking for 50/50.

I always thought joint custody meant a 50/50 split. If Corey only has the kids on the weekends, isn't that known as visitation? That's like something from the 1980s when I was growing up. My dad had us every other weekend. I thought 50/50 was the new standard now. I think he should have the girls all of the time and their druggy mother can have supervised visitation. God only knows what danger those kids have been in while in Leah's care. She could have driven with them while she was high.

This is my thoughts


- Janelle: Has grown in terms of getting an educated and seems like a good mom to her young son. I think she has every right to be in her sons life, even though she wasn't in the beginning. She has huge temper and immaturity issues. She's selfish and it all has to be her way and on her terms. Nathan seems like an immature jerk.

- Chelsea: Great mom. Her voice is annoying but she seems on top of her stuff. I've noticed she has been making an effort to not speak about Adam in front of her child. I really hope this new guy is great for her.

Adam: Wow. He is a bad father..immature, irresponsible, and selfish. In one episode he mentioned that him getting DUI's had nothing to do with his parenting abilities. Extremely clueless. He is manipulative and I don't think he deserves an unsupervised custody.

Kaitlyn: Bad temper and angry issues. At least she is going to school. I hate that she felt she can tell Joe that she didn't want him moving to her area. She doesn't own DE lol. If the Javi situation was reversed, she would flip. However, he does seem very controlling and I'm she that's hard to live with.

Leah: Hot Mess!!! 3 kids with 2 baby daddies. She is white trash, a whore, and likely a drug user. All she does is have excuses after excuses. She needs a class in makeup application. I think this girl rushes into everything. Corey should get full custody. I don't think she's fit to have her children at this time.

Barb: She has every right to keep Jace but she does seem to have a temper and use him as a bargaining and manipulation tool. Both Janelle and Barb don't realize the only one going to suffer from that behavior is Jace.

Pretty sure she's said it more than once, including last night. It's just how she speaks. Calling the girls "sissy" bugs me. No logical reason, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

My family is from West Va. and I still have many relatives there. Leah is like a walking stereotype of everything wrong with that area (and she has none of the great qualities of that area--which there are many). And then she does things that are just soooo West Va. Using "sissy" is one of them (if she had boys, they would be "bubby").
