There are a lot of reasons to have a baby. Being bored shouldn’t be one of them. Deciding to have another baby because you’re bored when you’re nineteen, already having your own baby and having a long list of important stuff to get done in your own life – like college, getting a job and hopefully not destroying your relationship with the guy whose wedding you’re already planning on national television despite the fact that he hasn’t proposed yet – that’s just plain crazy.
But that hasn’t stopped Maci Bookout, who apparently finds the days that her two year old son, Bentley, is gone (presumably with his father, Ryan Edwards) interminably stupefying.
Her mother thinks she’s nuts, naturally, and her long suffering boyfriend Kyle does his best to be reasonable and kind, while still refusing to consider the idea, during their faintly contrived conversation, which was caught by the Teen Mom cameras.
You wouldn’t blame a twenty-two year old guy with no job for telling his nineteen year old girlfriend she was out of her mind to want another baby, but Kyle restrained himself, reminding Maci that he’s currently jobless and making a very sensible suggestion:
“Can we get a puppy first or something?”
