Maybe you should have treated him better, b!

Katie is absolutely ridiculous to me... She nags him about the $10 to wash the car, she nags him about how he doesn't love her enough, she disregards his opinion about the fashion show, then gets upset when he leaves... She calls him a bad father when she's in the middle of a tantrum.

And then when he breaks up with her (good for him), she acts like she never did a thing but LOVE him... She crys, throws a temper tantrum, looks for sympathy to win him back...And then when that fails, throws coffee at him while he is right next to her daughter! Who does that?!

Plus, I know there's a "Mackenzie is manipulative" thread on here (which I DON'T disagree with) but I really feel like Katie is worse... She is using her daughter as a pawn against her father. "Can I come over and breast feed tomorrow?" "We should go away for Molli's birthday TOGETHER" all under the pretense that its for the baby...
Meanwhile behind the scene, to her friends, it's "what do you think is gonna happen with us?" (With that god awful smirk)... "We only have problems when his stupid girlfriend is involved" (they were clearly having problems before, and you don't even know this girl)... "If he doesn't come IM gonna be devestated"... She is so manipulative that I don't think she even realizes how she plays the perpetual victim.

Yah while I do think both of them are not good for each other, Katie is one nagging girlfriend and it is mainly her fault (going off of the show) that it didn't work out.

And in response to your comment about Katie calling him asking to come over and breastfeed molli, I see no issue in that. As a breastfeeding mama myself when your baby won't take a bottle you need to nurse them. It's not like she took her she wanted to just come and nurse.

I think Katie just doesn't empathize with Joey. That's why she seems so unappreciative.

The cure to everything.

Yeah, Katie is extremely insecure and that's why she doesn't think Joey did anything because he actually loved her.

I disagree about the fashion show, however. It's HER body and it was wrong for him to storm off as if he owned it.

Sairuh.

Oh how I hate that smirk! It is the same one she gives when she starts nagging. I think she deliberately picks fights with him. Watch whenever she picks a fight for a brief second she'll do that smirk. She feeds off attention negative or otherwise.

There was nothing wrong with her request to feed Molli. As we saw, she was crying and crying that night because she needed to be nursed. If Joey noticed, he would have realized that the mother of his daughter was breast feeding and therefore needed to be around quite often. That doesn't just stop because he wants to break up and date somebody new.

Joey agreed to go to Salt Lake. He obviously wanted to observe Molli's birthday together with Katie. He brought up the subject of whether or not she was happier with them being apart. He admitted that he wasn't sure whether or not he was happier himself.

They're both manipulative, in my opinion. Most people are from time to time.

My problem with the breast feeding situation is that she was clearly not asking for Molli's benefit, but her own... "Can I come breast feed tomorrow; so I'M not like, all engorged?"... The body language spoke for itself in that scene, just another way of manipulating her way into the same room as Joey so she can pull the old "try for sympathy to get him back, then act like a she-demon when things don't go my way" routine.

That, in addition to the Salt lake invitation, all while AGAIN, acting like it was for her child while being completely transparent about her true motives, just shows exactly how much she is willing to use her daughter as a pawn to get what she wants for herself.... Even when it's not what's the best for her OR Molli.. All of the fighting and misery when they were together was clearly not healthy... I really don't believe that trip was all about Molli, the "what do you think will happen with us?" (Complete with sickening smirk to her friend), and the snide comments about his "stupid girlfriend" and insinuating she was the cause of the problems.... The trip was clearly a way to try and win him back from the "bitch" as Katie's girlfriend called her. Why all of the talk about his relationship if she was ONLY inviting Joey as Molli's dad?

Just another girl on this show that tries to act like the desperation is because "it's for our family" when really they just ,can't act like an adult and say "I made a mistake, but I want you back"

Sorry. I know I'm almost a year late, but... Have you ever been engorged?
If I was Katie in this situation, and there was a fly on the wall, taking notes and criticizing every little thing I said... in this particular situation, I would be like "Heck yeah, so I'm not engorged!!!!"

OK, that's all.

What killed me with Katie in this latest episode is that she is now inferring that they would have no problems if they could just sit down and discuss things between them without Bridget being in the picture. Pretty nervy of her to say this as she has always had problems with Joey - they can't communicate with each other - and this has nothing to do with Bridget.

"Can I come over and breast feed tomorrow?"

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but I would like to contribute to this. It's quite possible Katie had other motives when she asked Joey this. But it also could have been a legitimate concern. I breast fed my son until he was around 9 or 10 months old. He would never take a bottle. He literally went from boob to tippy cup lol. I have not noticed whether Molli would take a bottle or not, but I can understand Katie's concern if they had never offered her a bottle.

ETA - I completely agree she was being manipulative when she was suggesting to him about going out of town to celebrate Molli's first birthday.
