I hear you, OP. That is definitely one time where I thought Reba was 100% WRONG. Reba was a great mom all in all and I think it's great she was supportive of her teen daughter's situation, getting pregnant in high school and having a baby so young, but that help should not have come at the expense of Reba's other kids. Cheyenne was so pampered and spoiled sometimes it was pathetic. She knew she would lose Elizabeth's daycare if she dropped her classes, but she did it anyway because she knew, like always, Mommy would be there to bail her out no matter what. Cheyenne did not deserve to be bailed out on this one. She knew Kyra wanted and deserved to go on that trip to Europe, yet Cheyenne not only allowed, but begged her mom to give that money to her instead to correct her OWN bad decision. Reba should not have done that, Cheyenne needed to learn a lesson. It was time for her to grow up and realize that life doesn't let you cherry pick the consequences of your actions, especially at other people's expense. Cheyenne was incredibly lucky college was an opportunity for her at all and her choice to just discard her classes that her parents paid a lot of money for showed she didn't take that opportunity seriously. Teen parent or not, if I paid all that money for my kid to go to school and she dropped her classes like it was nothing, just because she wasn't into them, they weren't convenient, etc., I would have serious reservation about paying for more school for her until she was more certain about what she wanted for her future. Hello? What does she think life will be like when she gets a job? It wouldn't have set Cheyenne's education back so much to have to sit out for one semester, she created the situation for herself and she needed to live with it.

" I think in some ways, this show glorified teen preganancy, without showing a realistic view of the trials and tribulations a young mother and father must really endure."



Tell me about it! Cheyenne's life was portrayed as way too idyllic for her situation. Her baby's daddy, the handsome star quarterback of the football team, who was completely in love with her, stood by her from the beginning, no questions asked, and married her right away at the cost of his relationship with his own parents. They got to live together in her mother's big house, and it didn't appear either of them had to work to pay for a thing, or even see a bill. I don't even remember ever seeing Van or Cheyenne helping out around the house. They didn't appear to have to give up any of their friends or activities. They wore cute little bride and groom t shirts and puka shell wedding rings to school, like it was some fun game. They had this beautiful baby you almost never saw them caring for, and Cheyenne had all the benefits of living with her mom, someone to babysit all the time, pay all the bills, do all the household chores, and keep her in designer clothes. They both finished high school with no trouble and Cheyenne immediately went on to college, again without having to pay a dime, not even so much as a whisper of a student loan. All in all, her life wasn't affected too much by getting pregnant and having a baby in high school. Very unrealistic.

YES. And when Reba used elizabeth as an excuse. no. Cheyenne and Van are Elizabeths apparently irresponsible parents, is not Reba OR KYRA's fault. Screw Cheyenne and her families problem, Reba's #1 responsibility was to Kyra. Too bad about Elizabeth's daycare, which is HER PARENTS fault. Reba should have said 'sorry, sucks for you all, but the money is going to Kyra who EARNED and DESERVES this money'. I agree, it still pisses me off and I again do not blame Kyra at all for moving in with her dad. I completely feel for Kyra in this show. I relate a lot to her and if anything she handled this situation very maturely for someone that just got screwed. Trying to understand Cheyenne's situation.

It's a sitcom You people need to get a life.

I don't think Brock knew what Reba really did with the money until it was too late (to be fair, I think Reba was under a time crunch to get the money in to the college to get Cheyenne back into classes and keep Elizabeth's daycare.) In fact, he didn't know until Reba came back and hit him up for more money, which he couldn't do, since anything spare he had was tied up in the new house that he and Barbara Jean had just bought.

But Reba's rant at Brock about why she didn't want Kyra moving out revealed something pretty disturbing about Reba--she was relying on Kyra to be the 'other adult' in that household, and that seemed to be the only reason why she was having a pissy fit about the kid moving out. Sorry, but no--if Reba needs another adult in the house so bad, then she should get one of her girlfriends to move in, *not* force her tween daughter into that part. Reba becoming co-dependent on her *child* is not Brock's fault, that's on Reba. Brock called it right when he told Reba that Kyra needed to be a kid again, which wasn't going to happen at Reba's house.
