I came to this forum to vent about Leah and her lack of carseat for her youngest DD. Episode 5, she gets her out of a white SUV that has either one or two backless boosters in the back. No seat that would be suitable for a young toddler. It's strange because sometimes the girls are in harnessed seats. Maybe this was a friend's car? I feel like if I were her I'd feel uncomfortable with a camera crew seeing me neglect my baby like that.

Jesus, Leah doesn't even know how to use her own seat belt correctly, and you're expecting her to figure out high back boosters and convertible car seats? That don't make no sense. It's HARD, y'all, and you're not THERE. So you don't know.

From what I've seen, Addalyn (Who's 2, I think) is usually in a FF convertible most of the time that seems like a decent seat, Ali (the twin with MD) is in something high backed with a seat belt, and Aleeah (whose middle name s Grace, and Leah has been calling her Gracie for some time now--but Corey doesn't, which I find interesting) is in something backless, with a seat belt, and a backpack. The car scenes are always filmed with Go Pros on the windows/windshields, so there's never anyone who can step in in real time. During Kail and Javi's jaunt to Hotel Nowhere, the crew was obviously following them in a white car, which you can see for a minute when they got the flat tire.

I'm just going to leave it all out there and not be ashamed that I'm 35 years old and way too invested in the lives of these idiots (who are probably richer than me).

Oh, and in case anyone thinks Jeremy is giving up on Leah and being a jerk by not getting her help, the real reason they're divorced now is that Leah was caught cheating with her "first love" Robbie (Corey was a one night stand rebound when Leah was 16 and she and Robbie had broken up, so he's been around for a while. She also cheated on Corey with him after they were married). I don't know why MTV is choosing to completely ignore that incident and give Jeremy a jerk edit.

Yeah, Leah is a mess. But why doesn't her husband step in and try and help her? He can see that she's struggling. Take over the finances; put her on a budget; hire a housekeeper; reach out to her mom/your mom for help with the kids. *Anyone* would feel stressed with 3 kids as a sahm with a traveling spouse!

Kailyn has no idea how to be married. It's sad. I feel so bad for Javi. He seems like such a good guy. And she's sooo cold.

I would love to know how much MTV is paying each one of these Teen Moms and their partners.

Jenelle gave a recent interview in which she both said she wasn't supposed to discuss it, and also pretty much confirmed that she has been paid about half a million total. I will try to find a link later, it was linked on the PreviouslyTV Teen Mom 2 forum.

Is that a total for the series or one season?

Total for the series. Here's the link:

Thanks, that was a interesting read.

I know. Is there a point at which MTV is ethically or legally bound to step in with the whole Leah situation?

One would hope so, but remember, they filmed Amber's assault(s) on Gary.

I can't imagine being any human, especially one that is employed to be around these people throughout their intimate lives, and not intervening when it comes to basic safety. Now that I think of it, who knows how much footage we don't end up seeing, maybe they do intervene?

I was completely freaked out that MTV just aired the footage of items literally falling on Addalyn (sp? I get confused with all those A names and now she started calling one of the twins Gracey out of nowhere) without stepping in to help. However, after watching TeenMomOG (pathetic I know), I realized they were most likely using those Go Pro or still cameras in the vehicle so maybe they didn't see what was going on real time. At least that's my hope.

I imagine there are a lot of things we don't see, such as the serious fighting going on between Leah and Jeremy--they divorced a few months ago. Plus Corey states on the phone that the fights are so bad that the girls are hiding in the laundry room. It must be very scary. I'm sad for all 3 of those kids.

Her every changing hair lengths are driving me nuts. But I continue to watch because it makes me feel much better about the choices I've made and paths I've taken in life.

I wonder if any therapists or professionals are watching all of this and offering their services at no charge. Leah won't make it to age 30 at the rate she is going.

Chelsea has always been the most dedicated mom and she has the most support financially and emotionally from her family. Her father Randy is a very well known dentist: http://www.houskadental.com/
