    Group calls for Baby Borrowers cancellation

    No one has ever said that television has been a beacon for good parenting. Just look at The Simpsons, Married With Children, or Arrested Development. Most bad examples of parenting on television are written that way--after all, dysfunctional families are… more

  • I think it is great to show teens what the real life is. But I wish that it was more real. Like having to work a week before getting paid. Haing to take care of a child for more than a few days.moreless

    I like this show. I thought it was a good way to show teens a pinch of reality. Having to pay reant and buying all the food. If I had the chance I would put my baby and toddler in this show. I wish I would have done this how before having kids. I probley would have waited longer than I did. But I wouldnt trade my kids for nothing. This SHow was a wonderfull idea and I hope it doesnt stop. All realtionships have probelms and you just have to work through them if you want to stay together.moreless

    This is a really good show. I like how they put teens on who think having a baby would be cool and let them try for themselves, parenting. It's interesting every time I watch the show. The show deals with everything (almost) a parent would go through, like misbehaved childrens, break-ups, etc.
    This show definitely would influence anyone who wants a baby in a good way and sometimes in a bad way.
    The good ways are seeing how the people dealing with the kids are stressful and sometimes not so fun. The bad influence are: it might make teens more excited to have a baby after seeing some good times in that parenting period.
    Well, that's my review.moreless

    it shows how immature they are and unready for real adult decisions real life isnt as easy on minumum wage nor when your living in a less glamorus house i didnt see any real (life)problems like were out of food for 2 more days till payday or got paid today and now where broke after paying the utility bill how am i getting to work the car has a flat tire..the babys on the last diaper. the show makes life look much easier then it really is you made it to easy on them and yet there falling apart the majority of young couples dont have it so easy, better luck next season.moreless

    This show sucks its not even based on real life! I am 18 myself and i wish i could work and get handed $100! They just have to babysit they dont have to worry about making bills, rent, and car payments, let alone gas, and enough groceries to get by. This show should be based on those facts and trying to get by life real life people have to do that have kids not see all you have to do is babysit and thats how easy it is. I love the show but it needs to face real life and real life situations.moreless
