When she was in the hospital after having her baby, you were CLEARLY so post to feel awfull for her...with the pain, and the tearing & the premature birth...blah, blah...
but...REALLY!?
Did lifetime REALLY think we'd feel bad for the charater who had been smoking throughout her entire pregnacy???
Feel bad for the baby, YES!
The idiot Mom, NO!
I thought so too.. They wanted us to kinda feel bad for her w/ all the stiches and stuff. And the baby being in the incubator, and her saying how much it hurt. But I also think they showed it just to show how unready some of the girls were. For them to realize its not all fun and it will hurt and be hard. And to see that Sarah really didn't know anything about childbirth.
shareI felt bad for the baby, who has a teenage mother who smoked and drank throughout pregnancy but not the mother
And was the drinking and smoking supposed to be that important? Or just a little side note?? Because it was there, but no one really addressed it.

People are crazy
Honestly...when Rose said "it hurts"....I was like "That's what you get you triflin dumb-founded girl". I felt bad for the baby, but serves Rose right, lol
sharethese girls were too stupid for words. i was a teen girl not too long ago. And even without being pregnant, I knew having a baby hurts like hell. And I feel like Health Class 101 taught you that smoking and drinking hurts your baby. It's like these girls lived in a cave or something. Even if you don't have Sex Ed or Health Class (which usually schools have) There's TV and movies that show having a baby is not a walk in a park. I mean these girls were just ridiculous, I couldn't believe how naive they were.
shareu r right about it being almost common sense not to drink or smoke while u r pregnant, but u have to remember this was an extremely catholic town(there was a scene outside church when sara's mom hears there's going to be health classes at school, n she says she doesn't like the idea or sth like that...) they never had "the talk" i'm sure, but in general it's very ironic, they r ok with 15-yr olds getting pregnant, they r ok w the fact that they had pre-marital sex, but no way of having sex talks, talking to them bout being safe in sex, or even telling them not to drink, smoke, or anything they would do while pregnant. I think it was a lot of the parents fault, not he girls themselves, they never talked to their gilrs bout what could happen if they had sex, if they weren't safe, if they got pregnant, if they had a baby, if they decided to keep a baby... i mean, how many of those girls had a single mom, no dad... they just had their semi-perfect families as examples...
shareYes, 'so post to' is 'supposed to'. I get it.
But to answer the question: Yes, we were supposed to feel sorry for Rose, but no, I didn't really feel too bad for her. Too bad for the baby, though, having an irresponsible twit like Rose for a mother. She (the baby) deserved better.
Well said. It's hard for me to sympathize with Rose. I wonder in the end if the father, John, married Rose or did he leave her and the baby the same way Jesse did with Sara.
At first I thought the woman with Rose was her mother when in fact, it was her grandmother. I wonder where Rose's parents were. I'm not surprised though that her parents are teenagers as well who abandoned her forcing the grandmother to be the surrogate mother.
And even though Karissa's mother said she will not be a live-in babysitter of her own baby, I'm sure in the end she did.
I didn't feel like we were supposed to feel heaps of sympathy. I think more than anything it was supposed to show us that the girls were NOT ready for what they had gotten themselves into.
Feed me a stray cat.
I had no remorse for Rose, but I had absolute remorse for the premature bub.
shareI don't think you were, I think you were supposed to see what it was like (for the naive teenage girls watching it) and also just for the audience see how unprepared she was.
I don't understand why she tore so badly if the baby was tiny and premature.
