Did any of you watch all of the episodes?
I did, I know pretty sad. I recorded them and watched them when there was nothing esle to do.
I can't beleive that not a single couple stayed together!!!!

I watched one full episode and half of another, but I had to turn it off. It made me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine not busting in the door and ripping my baby out of there! Between the crying babies and the teens fighting with each other with the baby in the room it was ridiculous. I felt sorry for the babies. I wouldn't even use most of those kids as a babysitter, even in the most dire emergency, let alone let them keep my baby for any period of time.

I watched one episode. I wanted to slap them.

For a single mother of a teen and young adult, it's not entertainment. Its a replay of your worst nightmare.

Ditto--I found it too annoying to watch. Not one couple stayed together? I thought the Spanish looking girl and her boyfriend would stay together. The one who said that she'd want kids young "so she could relate to them."

Yep, at the end of the show they updated us on each of the couples and not one stayed together!!!
It was annoying in the first 2 episodes. but then the kids they were watching got older, and the teens did a bit better.......
They were great with the elderly. I was surprised!

Kind of a funny thing with teens and elderly - I think the babies and kids are too close to their own brothers and sisters, and they are not ready for the responsibility. But with an older person, given the support to not be alone in taking care of them, they relate to an adult who is frail or ill - not like a sibling, not like their own parents or grandparents - and they are better suited to the job.

I once attended a child care training, where the presenter wanted to show how important good child care is - she held up a newborn pampers and talked about how in bad situations, this diaper is soaked and the person wearing it is ignored. In a good situation, the diaper is changed often, and the person wearing it is cuddled, cared for, engaged in play and stimulation.

Then she said, the person wearing this little diaper today is going to be changing THIS one tomorrow - and held up a Depends. She asked if we would like to be the person waiting for that diaper to be changed - and if the person changing it should have learned early that its ok to just let it go till its soaked because the person wearing it can't tell you in words how it feels - and then have it changed like it is a big inconvenient chore.

There is a correlation between the way we take care of children and how they learn to take care of their own children and us when we are older.

I didn't, but thanks for reminding me! I will have to see if I can find them online and watch the rest of it! Got side tracked with something else.
