A way to say hi to everyone

Hi My name is Joy. I tried to find a topic already for introductions but did not find it, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I am a mother of five with my youngest being 17. I have been married for 21yrs. Thank you for letting me introduce myself.

HI! I am Christie. Not the biggest fan of the show. I have a bunch of little boys and a home business making baby carriers. I am here because I am concerned about the infants on the show.

Newbie, Intro

Hey Yall. I am new here. I live in Evansville,Indiana. I am 21 years old. I have started watching this show ever since it starte. Its teaching the teenagers alot and making them realize that it isn't easy work taking care of a child. I myself do not have a child, but I believe in my heart that I am truly ready. Anytime I see a baby I want one even more.

I love meeting new people and making new friends. I was also wondering if anyone knew any of their myspace links.

Hi PwettyBird, Welcome to the message board.

Hello, my name is Sara and I am 28 with 3 children. Corinthia is 5, Cibian is 2 and Clementine is 10 months. I am happily married and fortunate enough to be able to stay home and homeschool my children. I like that everyone gets an opportunity to voice their opinion. It gets a little ugly from time to time but that is the beauty of opinion. You can dismiss or accept whichever ones you want. God Bless America.

hey i'm rita from atlanta georgia. i have two kids,a boy 7,a girl 5 and expecting. i'm a stay at mom. tonight is my first time watching this show and i must say wow
what brave parents these ppl are.

Hi, my name is Lyni. I am a 32 year old single mom of 2 from mo. I think this show is good because it shows fact from fiction and I hope it helps alot of teens out.

I'm Asia. 24 years old from Southern California.
I don't have kids...I don't really like them. Maybe in 10 years or so (if my eggs don't dry up).

I've heard horrible things about children; You have to feed them. play with them. love them. I think you even have to bathe them. feed them again... (joke) but honestly, I know that I am too selfish to have a kid right now.



I just think it's sick how these young girls want to have kids these days. Are you serious? Whomever you have a kid with, you're stuck with them for LIFE.

At 18, even now at 24, I know I'm not going to be with the same person by the time I'm ready to have children. I am educated, and I have a great career. I don't have time to change diapers, or hope my baby-daddy spent his check on the mortgage, and not a new flat screen TV.

I think these girls (I worry about them more, because no matter what happens, THEY are the ones stuck with the kid) should finish college, start their careers, and explore life.

Or else they may run risk of being one of those moms on that Secret Life of a Soccor mom, and their husband tells them they can't persue their dream because that means he would have to help out at home and give up happy hour.

wow...i guess it's a good thing you know you aren't ready, that is terrible what you say about kids. "I've heard horrible things about children; You have to feed them. play with them. love them. I think you even have to bathe them. feed them again" even if you think that is a joke, it's not some of those are the best thing about having a "kid" shame on you for even posting that.

Im Tanisha, 21 from wa I am married have been for almost 2 years and have a 4 month old son, wyatt. He is the love of my life, besides my hubby. I love this show, you see the teens have hard times but you also see the good times, like jordan playing with his boy and carson i think sleeping on kelly (not sure if that was who it was) I mean it's amazing to see how hard it is but how worth it it all is at the same time. This show is amazing go nbc!!!

it's a joke. my god!

i was almost certain someone was going to get p*ssed about that comment.

and if you love those things, no one is knocking you for it. don't seek someone's validation of that.

it's not that deep.

My name is Kelly and I am a 48 year old father of two developmentally disabled boys 21 and 20 years old. My wife Renee and I have been married 23 years. I am a big fan of the show but my wife is not. I feel that the people who write that they are concerned for the children in the show need to realize that the "borrowers" are being monitored very closely and no harm can come to the children under their care. With that in mind I have left a message in the "how can I get my kid on the show" thread about my 20 year old who has a form of Autism with limited speech abilities. I wonder why I haven't seen any other parent ask about disabled people on the show? I might just start that thread myself.

Hi,
My name is Meagan I am 21 years old. I am married and have a beautiful daughter that is 3 1/2 months old. I know that having a child is a big deal. I see some times older couples look at me and my husband and ask rude questions like was this a mistake? MY Beautiful daughter was carefully planned.. I myself have had alot of experience with babies, I had been watching children since I was 10 years of age and have been around all types of kids.. my husband's sister has downs and its a struggle and I was prepared for all the trials and tribulations and we wont take it back for anything. And about that comment above whether it was a joke or not you are very immature you need to grow up. You can have a kid, a career, and go to college.. I prove that very well!! My husband and I own our own business and I am a full time college student!! SO get over your self are just lazy and you don't want to have responsibility and you will prob never have a great career because of just this..

I'm The_Librarian. I'm a 22 year old female from Indiana. I do not have children, nor will I ever (unless, of course, you count my four-legged furry children). I have some experience with children as I worked in a daycare for 5 years, taught youth gymnastics and cheerleading for 2 years to children ages 2 - 12, and I have a brother who is almost 13 years younger than me.

I find this show interesting because I firmly believe that if children didn't result from sex, the human population would be significantly smaller than what it is. Nothing burns my britches more than sorely unprepared and ignorant people bringing innocent children into this world with little to no thought that they will be responsible for another human being's life. I also hate seeing people who are infatuated with the thought of having a baby, but not really interested in raising a child into an adult: the "I want a kitten but not a cat" crowd. I am interested in seeing how this show that is supposed to drive home the idea of making darn sure you are ready to have kids, and knowing what you're getting yourself into, plays out.

As to why I am here on this message board, well I'm a sucker for debate, and message boards are usually full of that, lol.

Hey, every one my name is Dave. I'm 23 years and have 3 year old daughter, whom's named is Destiney Marie. I belive this show is not an exclent form birth control, but it also prove's to all these teen's and older's in twenties thats you should not dare to enter into pregency unless you are emotical right within your self, and your relashionsip. The finically set part if you was to wait on that, you might never have kids. I had mine when i was 20, and now i'm entering into my second custody battle. So, if you think love and then marriage, it usual dont work out that way. Then you have a child, and or childern stuck in the middle. I'm going in college to be lawyer. I have taken the prevented measures i have gotten a vasectomy. I see it like this use a condom if you are going to have unprotected sex, or get other measures of birth control. but dont ever think " IT WON'T EVER HAPPEN TO ME"

Just wanted to say Hi! I love this show. I am a 23 year old college grad. I am getting married next April. We already decided no kids! at least anytime too soon.

Hi I'm Kim. I am 27 years old and am the mother to a 9 year old and a 2 year old. I was a teen parent and think this show is fabulous and that all teens should be required to watch! That being said yes teens can take care of a baby and do an ok job it's just way easier when you're older. I have watched the teens since the first episode and think they would all be great babysitters. I also like the instability in some of these relationships coming to the surface now before any of these couples become parents together. I am no longer with my high school sweetheart surprise surprise. I am happily married now and get along ok with my older boys dad but things could have gone way better if I had waited to find my true love before having children.

Hello, my name is Holly! I've been watching The Baby Borrowers since it began.

This needs to be done to all teenagers who think they are ready for motherhood. Look at Daton and Morgan. They can't even deal with each other, much less a child. Austin and Kelly seem like they would be great parents if they could get past their issues with each other. If Kelly doesn't want Austin, I'll take him! LOL

I was 20 when I had my first child and I don't think I was even ready for it. There are so many things that are not even covered in this show that the teenagers need to be aware of (i.e., paying for daycare, paying bills, dealing with creditors, etc).

My teenage son watched the show with me last night when the teenagers had to deal with teenagers. He was laughing just as hard as me. My son is just like the teenager that Daton/Morgan had. He seemed to feel sorry for Morgan when Daton left her and even cleaned house while she went to work. That is not most teenagers.

Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying the show! My faves on the show are Jordan & Sasha and Kelsey & Sean.

Hi! My name is Tia and im 16, i find this show to be quite interesting and i watch it every week. I don't have kids but i have siblings who are toddlers & babies so i know how much work it takes to keep after a child. I actually think this show is urealistic. what teenage parents do yu know of that live on a cul-de-sac, most dont have such nice homes yet, but thats just my opinion.

Hi my names Jamie. I am 21 and a college student in Florida. Im the 2nd youngest out of 6 kids, and im the only unmarried one with NO kids. My 2 older sisters actually started having kids before i was born, but i see them now, and they have nothing, they weren't able to finish high school. Between the 2 of them they have 5 kids. My oldest niece has 3 children of her own shes unmarried and also has nothing. The oldest 3 are trouble makers BIG TIME, i believe all of them has been to jail at least once. It may just be choices that they made in life or the fact that they were raised by single mothers that were no older than i am now. My 2 older brothers have 5 kids, 1 step kid, and one baby on the way between them. (4 total for the oldest and 3 total for the other) These are the kids ive seen grow up, the ones ive been around the most. My oldest brother was desperate to be married and ended up with the most horrible woman on earth, and my middle brother got involved with a girl that was 19 and a high school drop out and wanted a baby, she got her self knocked up and then there was a shot gun wedding.. she is the STUPIDEST person on earth. Both my brothers make fairly good money but b/c of their wives........... they have nothing. Ive seen them stuggle to make sure that there is food and clothes for the kids. I've seen how much goes into caring for them. My younger brother who is a High school drop out, and only 19 has been married 6 months now and his 18yr old wife is pregnant, they have a tiny apt. my parents still pay alot of their bills and so do hers, and they have had to rely on family and friends for everything they have.

Because of my siblings.......(which in a way i Thank everyday) I know that i DO NOT want kids until after im married, have a house, and im like 30 (lol). i dont want to be anything like them esp my sisters and younger brother. I think that this show (which i do have to agree in a way is a lil unrealistic) is a good way to show these teens what they would be facing. i think the way these kids have acted throughout the show was pretty realistic. I know that some of the babies were probably distraught over not having their parents and cried alot. but face it there really will be times that the baby is crying and crying and you wont know what to do. So i think this is awesome, not everyone gets the chance to be exposed to children and babies. They think that theyre cute and cuddly, which they are, but uh, they do cry and spit up, and poop......... The show is also testing the relationship between the teens... which is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

SO KUDOS FOR THE BABY BORROWERS!

No one said that it was impossible to have kids and go to college and have a career, my dear.

I'm saying that I have made the choice to wait and have kids. I love my life and mu career. And I'm sure when I do have a child, I will love it more than anything.

To each his own. It's your business when you have a kid. Not my household. Not my life.

I just think it's funny how the only ones busting an ovary about my comment are those who are 21, married with kids. I'm sure you wouldn't change your life for anything, but don't go attacking someone who personally feels like a child right now would not be ideal.

Get Over It.

I so agree, i dont dare to diss on anyone just tell the honest facts, i have a child who is 3 and would not change not for world as you said. It is possible to go college and have a career, i mean im currently going to school to become a lawyer. Just because your sister decied to not keep her legs closed, and your brother decied to hang out with his wang out, and now they are either living on welfare or barly getting by. Life is a choice, no one made those choice she did. I agree with Asia, dont get on here Young, dumb and full of *** and tell anyone where or how they should or missed up there life. What it shows you are insecure, and upset about the descion you made about getting pregant and having a child at a young age, and not only your marriage is not working, wanting out but dont want a divorce. Well that is your down fault. ~Dave

My name is Michele. I am a 30 year old stay at home mom of 3 little boys.
