I love watching "16 and pregnant."
Don't judge me. I read, too.
Anyway, it's not just the riveting drama that draws me in. It's my husband's squirming that is most entertaining for me.
The husband cannot imagine Peanut one day older than she is right now. In fact, he's asked numerous times if we can just keep her at this age.
So imagine the torture he goes through picturing her 16 years old. Add on a teen pregnancy with a lippy, immature teenage father and he's practically coming out of his skin.
The past two weeks, we've watched the show with a train wreck curiosity. And each week, he gets angry, grumbles and threatens the use of firearms against any boy who even think about touching Peanut.
It always makes me think of my own father who raised two girls. He spent his career in law enforcement, a fact that could make any boy hesitate knocking on our door. To make them even more uncomfortable, he would sometimes "accidentally" leave his gunbelt on the kitchen table. That usually put the fear of God in our dates.
The husband doesn't have a gunbelt to leave out but he does have 14 years to plot to keep the boys away.

So, does this mean the engagement is off?
I think he's OK as long as they are married. And not 16.

The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence
But then I’m lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head
That I forgot
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Ain’t it son?
Hey y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I’ll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
Well now that I’m a father
I’m scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be
That seems to have just one thing on his mind
She’s growin' up so fast
It won't be long before
I’ll have to put the fear of god into
Some kid at the door
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y’all go out and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
Now it's all for show
Ain’t nobody gonna get hurt
It’s just a daddy thing
And hey, believe me, man it works
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Now ain't it son?
Y’all run along and have a little fun
I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
Son, now y'all buckle up and have her back by te- let's say about nine...thirty.
Drive safe.
You know I don't judge you for watching that show, reality tv is my guilty pleasure. And yes, I read, too. And I have a college degree. Anyway, enough justifications! Yes! That show makes my blood boil at the thought of my daughters someday... ugh! Can't go there.
I LOVE 16 and Pregnant AND Teen Mom. My Wednesday morning ritual for the past few weeks has been to come down stairs, prep breakfast and cue up the latest episode on mtv. com. No shame. I just make sure that at the end of every episode Quinn and I have a talk. It's short but goes, 'Don't you EVER be a shithead like these kids, okay?' We also have this talk at the end of every Housewives of Orange Cunty (oh, typo but I'm keeping it) wherein Lynn's daughters do something retarded.
Kelly, we love that song. It makes me think of what our lives will be like in 14 years every time we hear it.
And, Amanda, that seems like a very good conversation to have. I figure the sooner we start having those kinds of conversations, the better off we are.
I've seen 16 and Pregnant and can totally understand that it would be addicting. That being said, I'm sure Peanut won't be making any sort of debut on the show
That show is exactly why my husband has told me we're never having girls. Apparently he thinks he can pick such things.
