Comments on: Spamming Baby Borrowers show slammed by child welfare group http://www.celebitchy.com/12670/spamming_baby_borrowers_show_slammed_by_child_welfare_group/ Stylish celebrity escapism Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:03:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Blanca Sullivan http://www.celebitchy.com/12670/spamming_baby_borrowers_show_slammed_by_child_welfare_group/#comment-66524 Blanca Sullivan Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:56:35 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=12670#comment-66524 As a mother and now a grandma, I say child welfare should take those babies away from the real parents. If they are not moved emotionally at the sight and sound of seeing and hearing their baby crying hysterically. It leaves me to believe they are already emotionally DETACHED. How do I know, well for starters mommies have a commpassionate feeling inside of them that goes off when we hear any baby crying. Our mommy instinct is to comfort the crying baby. Something these parents obviously don't have! And thats real scary. Its no wonder child welfare is after this program. I say check out the Parents who were willing to allow there precious little ones to cry hysterically. I will be calling NBC. Whats next????? See if we can handle caring for our elderly!!! We should all be afraid. As a mother and now a grandma, I say child welfare should take those babies away from the real parents.

One of the misconceptions young girls have is thinking baby sitting is like having a child 24/7. Maybe if some young girl is watching this show and realizing that it's not what they thought they'll use protection to avoid having one. I’m sure the kids are monitored (or atleast hope).

I didn't love most of the babies I babysat for. I changed their nappies, calmed them when they cried, checked the temperature of their milk etc because that's what my job was. I agree the concept is weird, and I don't understand why a parent would take part, but really, lots of babies are looked after by someone they didn't get introduced to gently. The odd thing here is, as an earlier post said, the parents know from the outset that the borrowers are not experienced - why would you hand over your child to someone who is incompetent ?

Then I think it's terrible to use the babies like this, AND the teenagers as well. Are they going to feel confident after that experience. What is this show going to teach them and the teenagers viewers ? It's a lame way to make fun of teenagers, who are usually clumsy, not mature and not confident in themself.

She is perhaps an attention whore, but in actuality these parents were not paid a dime. Shocking, but true folks. I will add that I would NEVER subject my child to an "experiment" like this one, but the parents did not do it for financial gain. Don't know WHY they did, though, other than the "thrill" of being on some lame-o reality show. I actually know one of these moms on the show, who volunteered her 2 kids.

Yes, 18 and 19 are still teens, but they are adults as well, and 20 isn't a teenager anymore. There is nothing wrong with 18,19 and 20 year olds starting families if they are responsible and have a stable environment. It's not like it's a 15 or 16 year old, like Jamie Lynn, just throwing that out there as an example. Maybe 18 and 19 year olds aren't ideal, but they're certainly not children anymore. They can legally do anything but buy alcohol, so why is it shocking for them to be having kids? Sure, some people that age aren't ready for it, and some 18 and 19 year olds are immature, but there are plenty of people only a couple of years older than that that aren't all that responsible either. Anyway, that's the end of my rant. I won't watch the show, and it's kind of lame they've been spamming the site.

The parents can intervene, take over, do whatever they need to. Lets face it in today's working mom environment, arent most babies "away" from their parents 12 plus hours a day? I just cannot believe that they are separated from their parents for 3 full days. I don't believe it. This is actually a British TV show adapted for America. Now, personally I think the entire concept is executed poorly. I do not think you need a live child however, the stakes are higher that way are they not? Most of these teens on this show were at risk for teen pregnancy as EACh expressed that they WANT a BABY. That is frightning. And while I don't necessarily agree with the method I am also the first to say, I am not really sure how else to drive it home to teens what infants require and what WORKING and having a family is like. Not an NBC bot and certainly not a spammer but I think that the truth is, teens do not see the reality in what they want. And when they want something like a baby, they are really unaware of what it is they are talking about. At least this is making the attempt at SOMETHING. I am suprised at the backlash.

( with us, if we ripped out the batteries we had to pay for the entire doll- something like 200 dollars. ) I mentioned baby think it over on another post a few days ago( like what Mandy and Vdantev did)it is a much better idea, because the baby isn’t in harms way and isn’t being separated from it’s parents
