Hope you’re ready to feel that special kind of outrage and disgust that only comes from deplorable behavior aired on national television, because that’s all you’re going to get after last night’s brand new episode of “Teen Mom 2.”
Remember last week, all the Leah Messer drama? She didn’t feed her kids because she didn’t have any food in her house, she texted while driving with those kids in the back of the car, and then she got on Twitter to defend herself against all the terrible people who thought she should take care of her children and not endanger their lives. Crazy, right?
But the new episode, if you can even believe it, is way worse than the last one. It seems that Leah still hasn’t been able to remember to get out to the grocery store, because there was nothing in her house again this week. One of the twins asked her “Do we have anything to drink?” Leah didn’t answer her, so the kid started crying, said “God, you don’t even have nothing. Dang it, mom!” and then went outside and threw herself on the ground. Parenting at its finest!
The real tragedy happened at the end of the episode, when Leah asked a family member to go pick up the twins at school. “I don’t feel like I should be driving with as tired as I am,” that was her reasoning. She kept talking about how “emotionally drained” she was and how that was the cause of her exhaustion, which is fair — there’s the custody battle, and one of the twins has muscular dystrophy and will probably need to use a wheelchair full time within the next year or so — but a lot of people seem to think that being tired wasn’t Leah’s main problem. She was slurring a bit while explaining her situation, she had trouble keeping her eyes open, and finally she passed out. With all the rumors of her prescription pill abuse, it doesn’t look good for Leah at all.
At the end of the episode, Corey Simms, Leah’s ex-husband and the father of the twins, was shown getting primary custody. But that was several months ago, and we know that the agreement has changed since then so that she has them more often again. Hopefully she’s learned how to be a decent parent in the meantime, huh?
