Day 6: My Current TV Addiction

Currently, and its been this for 3 years now, my TV addiction is Teen Mom2. This series has been my favorite since the first premiere of 16 and Pregnant 3 years ago. This show has been very educational for me.

I would never have understood the challenges of being a teen mom until this show came on. I'm glad that it wasn't part of my growing up. I always thought about what it would be like to be a young mom, but never that young. Even though I am now married, have a house, my husband has a stable job, and we are established in Ames, I could never imagine having a child right now. I have 2 dogs, they are my children, but they don't require half the attention that a baby would. I go to class 17 hours a week, I work 20 hours a week, and when I'm not working or in class I'm either doing homework or sleeping. The story of my life. I couldn't ever imagine throwing a baby into the mix. Sure, now that I'm married I think it would be a blast to have a child of our own, but right now is not the time. This Teen Mom series has taught me so much about the struggles of daily life that these parents go through. I don't think I could do it. I will say, that if it is in Gods plan for me to have a child in 9 months, then so be it. Everything is in God's hands. As far as Brad and I have planned, we do not plan to have children for another 5 years. I really want to get through school first, depending on weather Vet School is in God's plan for me or not. I want to be out of school and have a stable job before I am "with child". :) I think it would be a wonderful experience, one in a lifetime, but now is not the time. I can thank Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 for helping me understand the true devotion that a child needs to have. I hope to wait for a few more years until we can provide for a proper up bringing for our child. We don't want to screw anything up! :)

For all you teens out there who are signing yourself up for pregnancy, or are planning something like the movie "The Pregnancy Pact"... watch a few episodes of Teen Mom, see how your life really can be changed, and double think about what your getting yourself into. Just a few words of advice from a Teen Mom Addict. :)
