I am sure some, OR most of you watch Teen Mom right? As you should know, it’s the final season of Teen Mom, the “cast” is Farrah, Maci, Catelyn and Amber. I really do like this series, mostly because it’s full of drama. However when I am watching it, I find myself being pretty judgmental. It’s a little hard not to be when they show Maci taking Bentley to swim lessons and trying to go to school and work, while they show Amber in rehab. It’s not hard to take sides. I side with the majority of Teen mom’s audience when I say:
I respect and admire Maci
I don’t think Amber will ever change, she’s awesome at blaming everyone else for her own problems.
Catelynn and Tyler are legit and made a good decision with adoption.
Now we will spend this post analyzing my utter hatred for Farrah.
Farrah… oh Farrah.

For some reason I always think I have judges her to harshly when the season end. I always try and give her chances, that is what makes me so mad, she’s so good at proving me wrong time and time again. Mostly just when that one episode aired that her mom had hit her, I thought I needed to reevaluate how she was raised and why she acts like a spoiled brat, who will never have a friend. When you see how dysfunctional Farrah’s Parents Debra and Michael are with each other and her, you can see why Farrah is always going to be a disaster. She is stuck up, ungrateful, and has horrible communication issues. She can’t say thank you, expects everything to be handed to her, and when she TOLD her dad (she did not ask) that he was driving all her things to FL while she flew, I about lost it. Somehow I kept myself poised through that episode. Let me say this: I don’t think Farrah is a bad mom, from what I see. I do think that she will raise Sofia to act just like she does. Also Farrah throws tantrums as bad as Sofia does.
Anyway, this season Farrah has moved to Florida. I assume she is living off her parents money, because she only had a job for a minute and a half. Even when she was supposed to be separated from her parents she lived in their rental home, which was insanely nice. She didn’t have to pay rent, and still lived 100% off her parents. They watch Sofia more often then not. Now that she’s moved from their home, I still think that her parents must have bought all her furniture in Florida, because it’s not “college student”/“single, struggling mom” furniture right? Plus how is she affording tuition and housing and daycare? i am still betting on her parents money.
It wouldn’t drive me so batty that she lives off her parents if she didn’t do things like...
Farrah went into the pet store to buy a 10 CENT fish with (assumed) her mom’s credit card. She decided that instead she would walk out with a french bulldog. A FRENCH BULLDOG! French bulldogs are NOT cheap! Anywhere between $1500- $5000. They have tons of health problems like hip dysplasia, breathing disorders, cherry eye, and wrinkle infections. They require baths often and every night you must wash out their wrinkles with baby wipes. I know this because I have a bulldog. Mine is an english bulldog, but they’re very similar. I know this because more than anything I want a French Bulldog to join our family. I have been looking at them online and at rescues for the past year. I have insurance on my bulldog, because she gets hurt and needs extra care. I buy her special food, because bulldogs don’t digest well. Shia (my bulldog) is as much work as a child. Let me remind you of this FARRAH GAVE AWAY her last dog, because “it was hyper”. What makes her think she can take care of one of the most high maintenance breeds on the planet if she couldn’t put up with a hyper puppy? She never even got around to potty training the other dog, she just put diapers on it because she didn’t have time. Now her poor new dog has no idea the life it’s just been dealt. I highly doubt Farrah will keep this dog either, and it will probably end up with another “friend” or a family member. Can you tell I am worked up? I am getting steamy ears just thinking about that episode.

I am a very passive person. I hate confrontation, but I think if I saw Farrah in real life, I’d have my first ever confrontation. Maybe even pull a little hair. We’re probably the same age, so it’s a fair fight. I just hate that she walked into that store for a FISH and came out with a FRENCH BULLDOG. She wanted a fish as she tells the worker, because she couldn’t handle her last dog. UGH! I seriously am about ready to head to FL and steal a frenchie.
Farrah grinds my gears.


Farrah is actually from my home town (I don't live there anymore), which is a bit embarrassing at times. It's a small town, but it's still sad when they're only on television because a pregnant teen. Anyway, I'm sure some of it is living off her parent's money, but I'm sure they make A LOT of money off the show as well, so a lot of her living expenses probably come from that. I'm sure that's how Catelyn and Tyler afford their own place at eighteen, too. I really love Maci too, I have so much respect for her!
ReplyDeleteYour probably right. I read somewhere they didn't get a large portion of the money until they were done with the show, because MTV wanted to portray how it really would be to be a teen mom. Either way, I don't really care. Mostly I am just pissed because she won't be able to take care of that dog, and that was an incredibly dumb decisions whether she has money or not, she doesn't have the time or the patience, as shown with the last dog.
DeleteWOAH! Didn't mean to unload on you there! Sorry! I just feel too strongly about poor puppies!
I seriously CAN'T stand Farrah either!!! >.< She is so annoying and why in the world does she call her dad by his FIRST NAME!?!? i can't stand her, or Amber, but I think the way you feel about Amber is the way that I feel about Amber, she has gotten so annoying that I fast forward all of her parts!!! -.-
ReplyDeleteI often wonder why I am so obsessed with this show when 1/2 of them annoy the crap of me!
I never understood that either. It seems so disrespectful to me that she calls him by his first name. It makes her feel superior to him, that's what I think. I always FF through Amber too. It's like she has nothing new, no progress. I am sick of hearing her and Gary have the same fight for the past 3 years ha ha! That's how I got with the bachelorette. I was FF through so much that I just stopped watching it. ha ha.
DeleteFrom what I've read, the reason why Farrah calls her dad by his first name is because since he is Ashley's stepdad, their mom didn't feel right with Ashley calling him Michael and Farrah calling him dad, so, growing up, Farrah's mom had her calling him Michael so as to not make Ashley feel like a stepdaughter. Either way, I still can't stand Farrah. The way she talks to her parents are disgusting.
DeleteI hate Farrah. She's a snotty, little bitch. I felt bad for her for about .12 seconds when we first found out that Derek had died before even finding out she was knocked up. But because she's such a brat, I find myself hating her more and more. I completely agree, she really needs to stop living off of her parents. And can I just say she is the ugliest crier I've ever seen?! She really should not cry on TV. She looks terrible. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates her!
ReplyDeleteMaci and Catelynn are my favorite. And Amber is another bitch who should just stay in rehab. She is a psycho. I don't get why her and Gary act like they're a couple when they talk on the phone by telling each other "I love you" and calling each other "Baby"... They're so weird! Also, I don't think Kyle is cute.. at all! I'm so judgemental.. I know. But I'm really not a brat.
So how do you really feel? ha ha ha. You crack me up! Seriously. I agree, I think the whole thing with Derek and her mom hitting her are what made me think I judged her to harshly. But she tends to prove me wrong time and time again. She really gets under my skin.
DeleteAmber and Gary just need to separate for good. They are holding onto a relationship that never existed.
Also I don't think Kyle is cute either, but he's SO good with Bentley. I like him for that!
I'm sorry to say this, but you are the biggest brat i know even though i can't see u. You probably are just like Amber!!!! ;) I think that Farrah is really nice... not to her mom, but if my mom would be like that i would do the same thing. I dont know why Farrah calls her dad by his 1st name? Anyway, you should't be mean to these people that you don't even know, and i bet you are exactly like Amber!!! Bye bye LOSER!!!
DeleteHa ha everything you just said is EXACTLY what thoughts I have had!! I could not agree more with you! I will fly to florida with you and help kidnap your future baby (:
ReplyDeleteAmen! Time to dognap a puppy!
DeleteI thought she should have listened to Sophia when she said no to the dog and yes to the fish. Imagine that, a toddler with common sense!
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY! Sofia was like fish fish fish fish fish, and Farrah was like uhh puppy? In her airhead ways. I was so angry. I can't even tell you. Sofia smarter than her mom, and grandparents!
DeleteI AGREE WITH YOU! I cannot stand Farrah. She is so dumb. And I have a french bulldog. The fact that she would just go out on a limb and buy one (at the pet store also, which makes me mad because she's supporting puppy mills). French bulldogs are animals that you REALLY need to think about before you get it. My dog has all sorts of problems and it's hard.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! I am glad a frenchie owner agrees with me, because they are a lot of work! They have the same genetic issue as my english bulldog. I know first hand how great of an animal they are, but they are lots of work. As is any dog, but especially bulldogs. I was going to bring in the whole puppy mill argument as well, but thought I should leave that for another day, ha!
DeleteMichelle, i love French bulldogs. They are sooo cute!!!! I like Farrah and she is not dumb, but if Sophia was my daughter, i would get the fish and the dog if sophia really wanted the fish ans Farrah really wanted the dog. Sophia is sooo cute and adorable. She's cute when she plays whith her new dog. :)
DeleteI feel ya! It drove me nuts how on last night's episode when they went to the zoo, she made that lady drive her and sofia around the zoo because "it was too hot and they'd never been there before." Girlfriend, please, are you so freakin lazy and high maintainence that you can't walk around the dang zoo?
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! Wouldn't everyone like to be driven around in a cart?? But come on, grow up!
DeleteI totally agree! She is ridiculous! No respect, and not teaching her daughter any manners either. I laughed at some of the above posts, they are all so true! We watch this show and know it drives us mad, yet we can't stop watching! Loved this blog <3
ReplyDeleteIf anyone's interested, having a blog hop at my blog :)
ha ha, it's totally true, we are all so upset and annoyed, but keep paying her salary. I think that in the broad perspective at least we all can learning parenting DONTS from Farrah.
Deletebahahahahahaa. I seriously couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteLove Maci--she's a great mom!
Amber needs to lose her freakin rights
Tyler and Catelynn are precious!
Farrah makes my skin crawl. I'm like you--I've tried to give her multiple chances, but ultimately she's a spoiled brat. I about died when she TOLD her dad he was moving her stuff while she flew. WTF?! I would have been slapped (and stuck doing it by myself) if I ever told my mom to do something. Every time her mouth starts to curl into a cry, I want to jump through the screen and punch her. I mean, I'm not a pretty cryer (who is?), but she is flat out ugly. Nobody pities her, so she needs to put on her big girl panties and get over it.
I agree, I agree, I agree!
DeleteWhy do we keep giving her so many chances? I am pretty sure the puppy thing through me over the edge. I am done giving her chances. She is so dang good at proving me wrong. Her cry is pretty bad, she doesn't even form tears.
Ugh, this rant made me glad that I don't watch the show, because I'd want to book it to FL and punch that girl in the face.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha. I am glad you read the rant anyway. I really should have skipped that episode!
DeleteSa Nap! Miki's gonna have a ho down.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right, Imma slap her.
DeleteI just watched that episode and was fraking out when she was in the pet store saying that shed only get the puppy if sophia wanted it and sophia kept saying she wanted the fish...like seriously?
ReplyDeleteand how ungrateful is she about michael helping her move?! i just can't with her. i like maci and respect tyler and catelynn for what theyve done with themselves since having carly, but the other two I will be so glad to see go.
funny how we don't have to watch the show and yet we do anyway haha :)
AH!!! I know! Why couldn't she have just gotten the fish?? I wouldn't have been up in arms about a fish. Fish can live a few days without food... they eat their own poop for fun.
DeleteShe needs some way more intensive therapy.
I seriously dislike Farrah. I actually had to stop following her on twitter because she's an ungrateful biotch! I can't stand how she calls her dad "Michael"! So disrespectful. Amber has issues and she can't seem to take blame for anything. It's always someone else's fault.
ReplyDeleteMaci & Catelynn are my favorite.
Bahahaha... I'm laughing because you are spot on! And... why is she so disrespectful and call her dad Michael? I don't get it!?
ReplyDeleteI think it's so rude to call her dad Michael, and he totally takes a back seat to everything Farrah and Debra want. In a bad unhealthy way.
DeleteOh my God, so embarrassing but I totally agree. Nothing gets me more mad than people getting dogs that they can't handle just because they're cute and sweet. I have a pretty low-maintenance rescued dog, but he's such a handful...I can't imagine saying "Oh I'll have a baby, and add the responsibilities of a puppy onto that too. That's cool. I'm that awesome at life." No Farrah - you are not that awesome at life. You're the worst.
ReplyDeleteIt bugs me so bad. I think it only irritates me, because it was such a quick decision with no thought. We researched bulldogs for a solid year before getting one, then when we got her we had a vet already, good food for her to eat, and insurance. DOGS ARE WORK! They aren't toys.
DeleteI love you. I cracked up "No Farrah - you are NOT that awesome at life you are the worst". YOU NAILED IT!
So. I know Farrah. She lives on the other side of the river from Omaha in Council Bluffs, IA (or she used to when the show started). She went to high school with some friends of mine. She is the most stuck up, spoiled brat, self centered, beeyotch I have ever met in my life. Also, her mom? Not any better. She walks around like people are supposed to recognize her and that she's some sort of celebrity. I saw her downtown a few weeks ago and chose to ignore her.
ReplyDeleteFun fact: She calls her dad Michael because she and her sister have different dad's and that is what her sister calls him, so she does too. Makes no sense, but that's why.
Hi! Just saw your comment here before mine and I wanted to thank you for the fun fact. I always wondered why the F she would call her Dad Michael... now I know. :) Doesn't make it any better, but it's a reason, at least!
DeleteShannon that is embarrassing! Just kidding, but I am glad that you know her, and her family, and still agree with me and every other commentor on this post. That means that MTV isn't the best editors in the entire world, and she's actually an awesome girl. ha ha ha. That makes me shrug just pretending she could be cool.
DeleteThank you for the fun fact, I seriously have wondered that since the first day it aired.
I know exactly what you are saying here. I personally am a total fan of both 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom. I, too, enjoy the drama. Who doesn't? {same reason I watch and enjoy the Kardashian shows}. It's TV, it's entertainment!!! Anyway, the particular episode you are talking about really was quite entertaining!!!! I could not believe she walked out of there with a puppy instead of a fish - AND Sofia even said MULTIPLE TIMES she didn't want a puppy, she wanted a fish!!! Farrah still ignored her daughter's words and got a puppy. She won't have the time, nor the patience, nor the money {of her own, at least} to take care of this dog and yes, sadly, I think you're right when you say it will follow in the 1st dog's puppy feet's steps .. right into another person's care. And that part when she TOLD Michael that he was going to drive 5 days to FL with her crap. I was floored!!!! And he made a slight face but just took it. I feel bad for him, to an extent. He's a grown man... man up! Anyway... yes, Maci is a good Mom from what I can tell, and I feel for Tyler and Catelynn ever single show.. with their struggle after they chose adoption. I really admire how both of those two have really seemingly broken the chain since their parents are not the best themselves. Tyler's Mom seems OK, but Butch... UGH. And Amber and Gary? I feel for that child. She has a long, bumpy road ahead of her. I heard Amber went to jail recently. She should stay there and maybe she will calm the F down. OK, good vent! :) Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteYes! It's entertainment that's true, and that's why we keep coming back. That last epsiode was just a jerker for me. I was so upset at the end that I didn't even want to watch TV anymore. I get so sick of her attitude, it amazes me that someone can be so disprespectful to everyone and everything around her.
DeleteSeriously.Butch is a mess! I feel so bad for Tyler. He is doing really good to break the chain though, it seems like he'll get his life in order. I feed really bad for Gary and Amber's kid too, I don't think they have it in them to make a change, and Leah will suffer from that more than anyone. HA HA YES she needs to calm the F down!! Well said!
I agree with you! I love all those shows (…Okay, I’ll admit it- I even watch Jersey Shore). It is hard not to judge the girls on 16 & Pregnant and on Teen Mom. My parents were young when they had my sister and myself (21), so I somewhat know what a struggle it would be to have a kid as a teenager. One of my friends growing up, who is now 22, had THREE kids by choice by the time she was 18. Her brother told me it’s because she wanted to get her family back together (her mom and dad divorced before she had her children).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I can’t stand Farrah. Sometimes she is okay and nice, but then she’ll be a spoiled brat. I hated when she told her dad to drive her stuff and he just said “okay.” Are you kidding me?! If I TOLD my dad/mom that they were going to drive a u-haul with my furniture while I flew, I’m pretty sure they would laugh in my face. The least Farrah could have done was ride in the car with her dad. Then, to top that scene off, she barely helped fill the u-haul. Her dad did 99% of the loading. If her parents didn’t treat her like she’s some sort of princess, maybe she wouldn’t be such a spoiled brat. There were a few instances where Farrah seemed thankful for her life and for her parents, so I do think she is somewhat capable of understanding how her much her family is helping her out. But, I really can’t stand her attitude towards life/people. She needs a wake-up call badly.
oh.. and when she asked for someone to drive her and Sofia around at the zoo. I almost died haha. Hello, you're at the zoo. Of course it's going to be hot!
DeleteIts never a good idea to have kids to keep relationships together. MY parents had 3 kids by the time they were 22 and it's nothing but hard work! Well there's probably some joy in there ;) But I agree we are aware of the struggle coming from young parents.
DeleteMy dad would have been like you're joking. If I am driving so are you, and you will be unloading all this crap with me. My husband said he was probably glad to do it, to get away from Farrah and Debra for a couple of days. ha ha ha, he's probably right. I can't understand the attitude toward everyone in her life either. She is definitely not capable of understanding right now for whatever reason. Probably because everyone in her life pitties her, so she thinks she has it so bad.
Oh the ZOO! The nerve that girl has. UGH!
I'm not trying to blame the world for all that is bad in this country, but why does TV like this even exist? Why are people like Farrah followed by cameras, paid for this TV show, and idolized? For what? For being the brat that everyone seems to call her? Sadly, she has already won this battle, because people continue to watch the show, and guess what? They're getting PAID. A lot. I'm pretty sure that show is where her furniture and Frenchie came from. Not only the show, but magazine interviews, appearances, photo releases, etc.
ReplyDeleteI get all fiery inside just thinking about her and Amber, and I don't even watch the show.
BLAH!
I don't think anyone will disagree with you on this one, Miki.
You're so right! I always say this when people say that Jersey Shore cast doesn't deserve fame. It's like well, we are the ones the gave them the ratings? We kept them on TV, we pay their salary (pretty much). So I agree with you completely!
DeleteShe has won, which is fine. Everyone will win at some point in their lives, but why the puppy!?!?
=)
hahaha! I totally agree with you. Farrah is just a whiny girl- and I can't STAND whiny people. Suck it up!
ReplyDeletexo ali
Exactly, and she should be anything but whiny. She has a nice home, a contract with MTV, a healthy kid, she's in college... Why all the whines? Why no gratitude?
DeleteI don't watch Teen Mom! Ah - it's true I know. BUT Maybe I'll start? Probably not since it's ending. I did watch the 16 and pregnant episode with that one girl giving up her kid for adoption. I cried.
ReplyDeleteThe End.
xx
justyn
I don't think you should start, do you see how upset I am i this rant? Teen mom will do that to you. I cry all the time, even during petco commercials.
DeleteI cried too!!! :)
Deleteha! i dont watch teen mom but just reading this makes me upset! i cant believe she got a french bulldog, and she doesnt even have a JOB! parents need to stop enabling their children.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! It's probably better you don't watch it, you'll be up in arms!
DeleteSo I definitely haven't watched this season, and now I know that I should not watch it. If I saw her get a French bulldog, I would've died. That little bundle of joy should be either mine or yours! Not ugly cry Farrah's!:(
ReplyDeleteYou said it girl! That frenchie needs a new home and a an english bulldog sibling! I am having a hard time watching any episodes now, because Farrah has that puppy. UGH!
DeleteOh lets not forget how she dumps Sofia off on the nearest neighbor so she can go on a few dates with this man that lives across the hall that she doesn't even know!!!! Do you know how mad I was?? Being a mommy of 2 you have to put your life on hold for your child until the time is right. Sofia is 2. Not ready. And to be honest, I think they ONLY reason why she took Sofia to FL was to hurt her mother because she saw how excited she was to take care of her grand daughter for those few months! And how she says "ok MOTHER" or "whatever MICHAEL" UGGGGGGGGH AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH I am gritting my teeth right now!!! I freaking hate her so much.. and I am only 2 hours away from where she lives... My sister in law lives in Ft. Lauderdale! Maybe I will have her swoop over there and snatch that doggy ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and her daughter wanted a fish.. she said A FISH... selfish mommy got what she wanted. @#&*()#&!!!
