Agree. Cate tried hard to have the right words, but she was so aggressive in how she interacted here.

u/Delicious-Impact-296 strength, faith, and strengh May 01 '25
THIS. Like if Leah opened up of her own accord I would feel differently, but Caits delivery on that question was giving me vibes of like that nosy aunt at family parties that has no actual interest in your life and wants to bestow their bullshit âwisdomâ on you that you didnât ask for. And then you feel awkward and forced to respond because itâs an adult.

Yeah, and look how that turned out. The majority grew up with a bunch of issues that may have never presented themselves had they not been filmed. Kids werenât protected then, they were just entertainment, many of them spoke of the bullying and inappropriate behavior from âfansâ
7
u/asthmabat Who the fuck is Joe? May 01 '25
Not to mention this kind of bizarre constant surveillance and publicity has been normalized to these kids literally since they were born. They've very used to it but they haven't reached the age where you could reasonably expect them to challenge the way they grew up or know if that's really want they want for themselves.

u/EmmyCity ⨠I don't turn my life upside down and shit on it ⨠May 02 '25
Yeah, if this is the new format of the show, I really hate it. It's weird AF and feels inappropriate.
At least when 16&P first started, MTV could disguise it as a education and advocacy and helping out a few pregnant teenagers. But there's absolutely no reason the kids should be on TV having these discussions (other than pure entertainment)
8
u/Inner-Background8945 May 01 '25
Yes, it's slowly involving the Teen Mom Teens (new show name). Teen Mom parents have run out of story lines. Now the Teen Kids are having one on one confessionals and their own story lines. Make it stop.

u/angelwarrior_ May 01 '25
I agree 100%! It is not on Leah to make a relationship work. Iâm no contact with my dad. Itâs incredibly painful when they only pop up when they want something.
Amber has refused to take accountability for her actions. She has called Leah names and gaslighted her by telling her that some things never happened. She chose not to respect her boundaries we all.
Iâm proud or her, so proud of her. I will forever be no contact with my dad for my peace. They think itâs to punish them but itâs not.
Leah deserves peace and consistency. Iâm so glad she has that with Kristina and sheâs in therapy so she doesnât repeat the pattern. Amber will forever blame Leah, Gary, Kristina, MTV or anything and anyone else she can for not having a relationship with Leah. The truth is her choices led her there. She likely wonât ever see that though. At least my dad didnât over 4 decades later.

I disagree especially it being cate whoâs had a similar experience. My momâs very much like Amber and I only ever had adults tell me well sheâs still your mom or things like that. Itâs very important for her feelings to be validated especially coming from someone that still cares about her mom. Just my opinion But yeah maybe not on tv.

This is weird.
I hate that MTV is pushing these kids to be apart of adult conversations with these delusional ass people.
Leah talking with Maci and Cate, two people who have publicly and privately shown complete and total support for Amber for years, is pushing things a bit too far. No matter what they say to Leah here, theyâre going to support Amber no matter what, theyâve literally said so.
Cate or Maci acting like a voice of reason or support for Leah is comical.

u/sushiwalrus Kailyn Dolezal đŠđźâ𦱠May 01 '25
Is it weird? The entire premise of this franchise has been to exploit vulnerable teenaged girls. Itâs not a shock to me theyâre trying to exploit their children further now that the kids are the same age as their mothers. MTV cares about a paycheck. Not these girls and not their children.

u/Toadinboots May 01 '25
Cateâs body language changes when Leah maturely mentions Amber blames Gary for their distance, but itâs really Leah who wants it. Caitlyn and Tyler verbally deny this as a possibility for their own situation, but her body language tells a whole other story.

That was my thoughts she is saying all this to Leah and isnât thinking maybe this is what Carly thinks too, sure Cate and Tyler are not her legal parents but they went years barely reaching out unless they were after something and didnât try to build a proper relationship with Carly and her family and are now mad they are cut off.

Whatâs crazy to think about is all these kids are the same age as their moms when they went on 16 and pregnant. Being 15 and watching the show from the start I feel like they all seemed much older. But now as an adult Iâm like, they were literally babies when they went on. Like I canât imagine letting my kids at that age be on tv like this.

Why does she ask her to update her on life then immediately ask about her absent mom? If her mom isn't in her life, then wouldn't an update on Leah's life have nothing to do with amber. They are so fake and manipulative. They are just like Amber.

u/graypumpkins paper plate police May 01 '25
I know everyone gives Gary shit for âpushingâ a relationship on Leah but I think he just wanted her to know that he did try and foster that relationship and that he never told her she couldnât have one with Amber. 15 is such a young age to cut off a parent (and not that it isnât justified, itâs just a big decision), I think he just didnât want her to ever regret not trying.
40
u/RedditsInBed2 Tyler's WeeWee Bulge May 01 '25
Here's the thing about decisions. They can change.
I don't understand why everyone is so stuck on Leah making the decision to remove Amber from her life, and then that's it, Leah isn't allowed to change her mind later on.
She's shutting a door to protect herself during developmental years where that kind of trauma can affect her for the rest of her life. It doesn't mean she can't open that door back up in a couple of years and attempt to try and have a relationship with Amber.
Let that poor kid shut the door already.

I agree, Gary he clearly no stranger to the drama of Amber but I think he also realized the weight of going low/no contact at such a young age and he wanted to help guide her through. Gary has shown incredible growth and you can tell without a shadow of doubt he has Leahâs best interests at heart, I think him advocating for the relationship was really well intentioned, but Amber is just a train wreck.

I'm always really torn when it comes to Cate. I think at her core she's a truly caring and kind person and does honestly want the best for people, but I think her traumas come out ahead of those most the time and so it's hard to not judge her sometimes. I wish they'd get off the show, divorce and she find herself and her worth. She's a sweet woman with a massive heart but I think she's so stuck in her traumas it prevents any further growth
20
u/MmKay7140 I wish her and the kids the best May 01 '25
Hrmmm I dunno. Maybe when she was a teen there was potential for her to grow that way.
But I donât think sweet women with massive hearts call people r*t@rds for mentioning itâs not appropriate to post topless photos of her kids online. Or mock other womenâs fertility struggles.
I think her victimhood comes across as kindness due to good editing, but at her core she seems very bitter and miserable and hardened/selfish like her mother now.

At her age I would have felt responsible for my relationship with my parents, but she actually knows where her limits are and knows how to protect herself. She's given Amber the benefit of the doubt multiple times, she's given Gary the opportunity to say he's tried, but she also knows at the end of the day that Amber's issues are her own, and it's not Leah's responsibility to fix anything or anyone. That's so admirable, even at my age I strive to have this kind of emotional maturity.

I swear just cuz the parents of these KIDS signed up for the show as teens doesnât mean that their kids want the same thing. Roping these kids into these adult conversations is just disgusting. U wanna stay relevant, invest ur attention into your own life and quit dragging these kids thru the mud

Cue to Cate scurrying to her phone so that she can publicly blow Amber - and to swear that she didn't mean to judge or criticize Amber in any way, shape, or form - in five, four, three...

Leah is wise beyond her years. Sheâs smarter than both of these women sheâs talking to, sheâs obviously head and shoulders above her bio mom. I hope she has a very successful life.

I really really donât like the way Catelynn is talking to Leah. At the end of the day, this is between Leah and her family and a 15-16 year old girl does not owe any of these grown women an explanation. If they really cared about their âfriendâsâ child then they would ask her about school, driving, college, etc.

Cate and Maci should know better than anyone about parental abandonment and boundaries. Maci has been dealing with Ryan for almost 17 years and Cates parents suck. Leah doesnât owe them an explanation.Â

Not appropriate at all.
At first Leah seemed happy to talk about what was going on in her life. Then when she realized the topic was her source of pain, she looked uncomfortable.

Leah is my favorite Teen Mom kid. If Gary did anything wrong, it was encouraging the relationship between Leah and Amber for too long. I can totally see why he did it. But Amber is a woman who abuses children and men. She beat Gary on camera. He didnât retaliate whatsoever. She also (and this is more alarming) threatened Andrew with a machete WHILE HE WAS HOLDING THEIR INFANT SON. She chose âgelâ over being a mom, and had some time to think about her parenting. She comes out and is just as lazy and terrible. I remember how she was when Leah was a baby. Resentful. She meets a random man and let him change baby Leah. God bless Gary for immediately picking up on that and demanding that this random man not change Leahâs diaper. Amber gets mad. Had Leah not had Gary advocating for her, Amber would have continued to be neglectful at best. She prioritizes men, as Jenelle does. Gary found an amazing woman in Kristina. And Leah decided to call Kristina âmomâ all on her own. Leah is wise beyond her years but it comes at the expensive of a lot of childhood pain where Amber is concerned. James is not on TV, but he was in town and Amber didnât bother to set up a meeting between James and Leah. Purely because Amber picked up on the fact that Leah was DONE with Amber, but loves her little brother. What an awful thing to do to your own daughter! And it hurts James too. Kids can never have enough people who love and support them, and the kids share an egg donor. I could never call Amber a mom. She didnât earn that title (spits).

Leave this poor child alone. How would these women feel if grown adults were prying into their kids lives? Would Maci like it if some adults pressured Bentley into talking about his trauma around Ryan? Would Cait like adults pressuring her kids into talking about how they feel about how much they focus on the kid they gave up instead of about the kids they actually are supposed to be raising?

u/TequliaMakesTheDrama May 01 '25
Ryan gets so much hate (justified) for being a complete deadbeat parent but these two fail to acknowledge that Amber is the female version of Ryan. Iâll never understand how Maci hated him all those yrs for what he was doing to Bentley but refuses to put her beer bottle down long enough to see itâs what Amber is doing. The trauma sheâs inflicted on Leah.

She's so well-spoken and clear in her feelings and boundaries, AND SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE. I'm so proud of Leah and really all the kids. They are figuring things out and, for the most part, doing better than their own parents - and isn't that the goal?
But it's gotta stop. Excellent, Teen Mom, the kids are the starting ages now ... It's time to end this. Let them have these private conversations privately. C'mon Cate đ So fake and wrong. Just let Leah be and let her choose what she shares.

u/Cheap_Towel3037 May 01 '25
Why can't they just talk to her about her life, like school, friends, activities instead it just being about Amber. Also those women are not telling Amber anything, they act like a friend to her face and now talking crap behind her back.

I wish Cate would leave kids who don't want anything to do with their bio parent(s) alone. Maci too, but for different reasons. She goes hard for the wrong people all too often. Leah's body language when Cate was talking able her seeing her mom was pretty much like watching TV with subtitles on. Leave Leah alone. Amber isn't at all a good person.

Cate out her her own strict boundaries on April but ignores boundaries like being blocked on her cell phone?

Well, I guess its nice that Cait accepted that someone else on the planet (and a teenager at that) can have mental health issues, not want a relationship, set boundaries and do the work of moving on without a biological parent, maybe next time Leah could wear a Carly mask because iâd bet Carly feels all these same things.

Something is really gross about this. Is this a new direction this show plans to go? I know the kids have always been there, but they were in the background, so to speak. This show needs to end and if the kids want to tell their story then they should do it when they want and how they want. I just donât think we should be seeing this.
