I don't know why but I am having some trouble keeping up with the Teen Mom and Dance Moms blogs. So I guess today I will cover the last 2 episodes of Teen Mom and try to keep up after that. I think it might have something to do with not wanting to write such long detailed posts. Lets be honest a one hour show covering 4 different girls jumping around from girl to girl could get kind of long if I went in chronological order of how the show went. So I think I'm going to go with the shorter summaries of what each girl did in the episode. Besides who likes reading something really long? Not me, just give the main details.
Episode 3:
-Farrah has decided to put modeling on hold to concentrate on raising Sophia and finishing culinary school. She is also in the process of potty training little miss Sophia. She puts her on the toilet then goes back in the living room. Meanwhile the camera stays focused on Sophia because she is unrolling the toilet paper. Before Farrah checks on her she manages to undo the entire roll. I don't have kids but I have worked in a daycare setting before. Whenever I had a kid that was potty training I would stand right next to the kid. Sophia isn't yet two but I have seen kids potty train early. I guess I am just trying to say that until the kid can do the whole potty thing by themselves you need to be watching them the whole time they are on the toilet. Farrah still hasn't heard from social security about benefits for Sophia. She no longer talks to Derek's sister who helped her determine paternity but now she is talking to his dad and step mom. Farrah's mom goes along for the first meeting since Farrah hasn't seen them in a while. The way Farrah's mom talks drives me nuts. They brought along pictures of Derek throughout his childhood and they basically just talk about how much Derek loved Farrah and all that. They decide to go see where Derek is buried. Farrah finally hears from social security. Even though Derek is Sophia's dad the claim has been disallowed because he never acknowledged Sophia as his child to his mother. As it seems is usual this season Farrah's mom pops on over just when something happens and Farrah needs to talk about it. (Farrah is renting the house she lives in from her mom who lives across the street.) Farrah calls her lawyer to see what she can do about social security and finds out that Derek's mom wants visitation rights for Sophia. I think it is pretty ridiculous that the woman wants rights to see her grandchild yet she basically denied that child to social security. Farrah's mom pops in yet again right after Farrah gets off the phone. Farrah is getting ready to take Sophia to the park and she gets served with the papers notifying her that Derek's mother wants visitation. Farrah calls her mom to tell her about this new development and this time both of her parents pop over. Farrah feels like it is a joke. Her mom says they need to write down everything they have against her. Farrah doesn't want other people to talk for her. Her mom says right now there isn't a 100% chance Farrah would win and Farrah freaks out and then in her voice over says she wished her mom would understand that she just wants to deal with this herself. Well Farrah if you want to deal with this yourself you shouldn't have gone crying to mommy. I think that if her mom had been more on her side (even though she is and Farrah doesn't get it) Farrah would have kept her cool. Farrah goes to see her counselor since she can't seem to talk to her mom about the issue. The counselor asks Farrah who she has to rely on and she says no one. She had to grow up really fast. The counselor says that she is having a resurgence of her grief because she is becoming involved with his family again and she needs to let the courts handle it and let go of the anger.
-Catelynn and Tyler are headed back to school to finish their senior year. They missed to many days while she was pregnant with Carly or they would have graduated all ready. Butch is getting out of jail and going to a halfway house. In case you didn't know Butch is Tyler's dad and he is married to April Catelynn's mom. They currently have a no contact order. The reason Butch was in jail this last time was because they broke that no contact order. April wants to pick him up from jail but Tyler talks sense in to her and they all agree they don't want to see him go back to jail so Tyler is going to pick him up. Tyler and his sister amber are going to pick up Butch. Butch kisses the ground and then they go out for breakfast. Tyler wants him to make the right decision and not see April. Butch says he wants to see his wife. Since Butch doesn't have to be at the halfway house until later in the day Tyler brings him to their apartment and they talk about Carly. He shows them his knew tattoo. It has the names of his grandkids on it including Carly. Then they talk about how it feels to see your kids and then having to leave. They agree that its sucks. Catelynn says it is good to see him and she hopes he makes the right decision and doesn't see April. They are scared about what will happen if he breaks the order. Tyler is telling him that he sacrificed when he gave up Carly and he thinks Butch needs to sacrifice and not see April. Butch says he needs some physical contact but in the long run he decides his freedom is more important right now. Catelynn and Tyler drop Butch drop him off at the halfway house and ask him to call them tomorrow so they know when they can see him again. Then they talk about how they are glad he is there because they know he isn't out getting drunk. Tyler then says that if Butch continues to make the wrong decisions then he will stop seeing him.
-Maci is now living with Kyle and she wants him to meet Ryan. Kyle doesn't want to but Maci convinces him to. She wants to have a shared birthday party for Bentley with Ryan and wants Kyle to be there with no drama. Basically she is worried that if Ryan doesn't meet Kyle before the party he would start something with Kyle and I kind of agree with her. Maci drops Bentley off with Ryan and sets up a time for him and Kyle to meet. She brings up the birthday party and Ryan says he was planning on separate parties. Maci says the whole reason for the guys to meet is so they can do things together. Ryan and his mom are talking about him finally meeting Kyle. He tells her that Maci wants to have a combined party and she says that she thought they were going to have separate parties but thinks it will be good for the guys to actually get to know each other Maci is talking with one of her friends about how it is going to be weird to see Kyle and Ryan together. Kyle goes with Maci when they do the Bentley switch so he can meet Ryan. Basically all that happens is they say hi and shake hands. Very anticlimactic with how much they built it up.
-Amber gets back from visiting her brother at the water park and finds out that the police are investigating. In case you missed it last season Amber got mad at Gary and while he was trying to move his things out of her apartment she started to hit him. Amber has a really bad temper. I feel like the only thing we ever see her do is get mad or whiny. Since they are together right Gray is helping her deal with the situation. He thinks she should get a lawyer. Amber wonders if maybe it would be cheaper just to go to jail. Gary says she needs a lawyer so she doesn't say too much when they are questioning her because it could come back to bite her in the butt. I totally agree with Gary on this because boy does Amber have a 'tude. The whole time they are having this discussion Leah is in the corner playing with q-tips. She freaks out on him. I bet it won't be the only time that happens this episode. Amber is really stressed out about the investigation. Gary gets a call from his mom that CPS was just at her house looking for him. Amber is now terrified that Leah is going to get taken away from her. Gary wants the whole mess to go away. They finally decide to get a lawyer and set up a meeting with him. They have to take a cab to the meeting because they "forgot" to pay some tickets and both of their licenses are suspended. Pretty much all we see is him telling them what could happen worst case. Amber says it worries her a lot. You would think (at least I do) that Amber would try to think before she acts but she seems to have a really short fuse and blows up very easily. Amber tries talking to Gary about how she is feeling and he starts to say something and she flips out because she wasn't done talking. HE shuts up and lets her finish talking. She says yes it is her fault because she hit him but he shouldn't provoke her. Gary sticks up for himself and says nothing he does should ever provoke her enough for her to hit him. I like that Gary is finally standing up for himself and I agree with him. Violence is not and never should be the answer to anybody's problems. Amber doesn't like this and FREAKS out yet again. She says he is going through nothing except maybe his daughter will be taken away from him. I don't know why she thinks Leah will be taken away from Gary because he hasn't done anything. It is her that CPS is looking at. Then she goes to talk to her friends who is living in her old apartment and she complains some more about Gary and everything she is going through. Voice over Amber says this might be the final straw for hers and Gary's relationship. Keyword in this is MIGHT. They have been back and forth on and off so much it is ridiculous.
So I was going to cover the next episode in this post too but I think it is long enough as is. Episode 4 coming very soon and hopefully I actually get the next episode up in a reasonable amount of time. And these summaries ended up being somewhat longer than I thought they were going to be. Except for Maci's because nothing happened with her.
