Sucked In

Anyone watch the show 16 and pregnant? So I happened upon it one late evening and was hooked. I've seen all the episodes and am amazed. Especially the last one where the teen parents put their little girl up for adoption. Such a sad episode but I was so proud of the parents for recognizing that they can't support a baby. It makes me really scared for J to grow up. I know there's no way to ever completely shelter them, but I can try right? :) I feel like you can be the best parent to your child but sometimes no matter how much you teach them right, I believe that sometimes kids just get involved w/ the wrong crowd or make the one mistake that leads to a huge life change. Scary to think about your kids growing up and making their own decisions. I know you have to parent as best you can and just pray that they listen to everything you say. I'm thinking that I'll just add on an apartment to our house and J can live w/ us forever :)

  1. I am ashamed to say that yes, I am an avid watcher. What about the one where the mom was pregnant the same time as the daughter?! Never saw that father around....strange. David watches it with me...don't tell him I told you!
