16 and Pregnant: Leah Lets Him Get Away

I want to preface this entry by saying that I am in a real shit mood for a reason I will not disclose. So while I relate to this poor decision making woman, I'm still going to assess her situation with as much bias as I see fit.

Before every episode of 16 and pregnant I always prepare myself to watch some poor girl's downward spiral. I'm full of sympathy. I'm on their side. I feel their strong regret and their blind hope for the future. But by the middle of this episode, I really jumped out of Leah's ship.

First of all, Leah, you forgot to get your birth control shot and you think your protected from pregnancy? Girl what are you thinking? Did you even believe those words as they were coming out of your mouth? But this is typical of most of the 16 and pregnant cast. Some hair brained excuse of how this all started in the first place.

Its especially unfortunate for Leah because she was only dating this guy Corey for a month before they got the news. On top of that, he double inseminated her with TWINS. What a slap in the face. In most cases, I would expect this guy to run like the wind. I've made most guys run from me for dumber reasons. This is like the Big Daddy of all reasons to run, pun intended. And you know what? That camo wearing red neck stayed! Kudos Corey! I'm in your boat. I'm in this great little boat with you, Leah, and the twins. And then Leah had to go and sink it! It was floating fine. It was no fairy tale romance but hell, who has that? Very few people are in an illusion free, true, and honest fairy tale romance. And you don't even know if you're in one in till your 40 and the guy's stayed with you for ten years. I wish Leah would've burst this bubble and just embraced this great guy in her life, the father of her children.

He bought her a house, sold his truck, paid for diapers, changed the diapers, the list goes on! And what does she do? Goes running back to some acme faced kid she was in love with a couple years ago. Big mistake. I think the moment she really nailed her coffin was when she went out to dinner and told all her friends Corey was going to buy her any car she wanted but she is still going to leave him. She was really basking in it. Gushing like a prom queen about her selfish ignorant outlook. Meanwhile, Corey is at home taking care of the kids and working two jobs. A real class act. Leah, sweetheart, just roll with it. Don't destroy it. You need to grow up and embrace this, it was a product of your decision.

But, instead she breaks his heart. Just crushes him. He cried man tears so gracefully. She went on about how she didn't love him and how unhappy she was. I knew she was going to regret that decision and end up really lonely with two infants. This happened pretty much instantly. She really felt it on Valentines day when Corey went out with this new girl. And might I add, the new girl was one fine female. Valentines day is hard for a lot us though Leah, but I'd imagine its worse for single mothers who are under 21. Hang in there Leah.

Corey really wanted to stay in his daughters' lives. They setup up some kind of half asses visitation but he better get something in writing because clearly that girl is unreliable. I hope they watched the show and give it another try! I'm rooting to see them together on the reunion show. Maybe this makes me a cynic who doesn't believe in fairy tales, but in this situation how can you? And who's to say one day they won't realize this was the only fairy tale for them? Leah and Corey- Good luck with your boat. I hear hope floats!

Until next time kids, that Me on Reality!!!
