16 & Pregnant star Ebony Jackson had her home raided by child services last night after the Department of Human Services received complaints about the living conditions in the house.

According to the report, “Every room inside the residence had human and dog feces on the floors, walls, and clothing. The house was full of flies in some areas, maggots.”

Ebony and her baby daddy Josh were booked on charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and drug possession. Josh and Ebony are currently working on cleaning up the house, but their daughter Jocelyne is still with Child Protective Services.

It’s a good thing someone called the officials about this. It’s not someone being nosy, they were also looking out for the welfare of the child. No kid should be raised in a home that’s a hot mess like that.

Allie is a senior in high school living in Pasadena, Texas. She’s not from Texas, but when her dad moved down there a year ago, her mother Lauren was unable to afford to have Allie live at home with her. Allie met her boyfriend Joey and ended up pregnant after dating for only a month or two. Allie’s dad pretty much disowned her when he found out she was pregnant, and she’s currently living with Joey and his family. Joey’s mother Yolanda doesn’t like Allie and doesn’t want her around. Joey’s mother has had a drug problem for years, and you never know when she’s going to snap, and who wants to be around that? Not Allie. She wants to live with Joey’s grandma Belen, but Belen says she doesn’t have enough room for them and the baby.

Grandma Belen sat down with the family to figure out what Allie and Joey are going to do after the baby is born. Allie said there’s a daycare next to her school they could use, and it’s free since she and Joey are still in school, but Yolanda doesn’t want the baby in daycare. Grandma Belen and Yolanda also mention how bad it was for her dad to kick Allie out of the house. Allie doesn’t like hearing everyone put her dad down, even though what he did was shady. She’s uncomfortable around Joey’s family and has contemplated moving to New Jersey with her mom, but she wants her baby to have his father.

Allie lights up whenever she talks to her mom Lauren, and during their latest talk, her mom promises she’ll be in Texas when the baby is born. Maybe not there for the actual birth, but she’ll be there before Allie leaves the hospital. Allie’s heading to her check-up appointment and it’s nice to see Joey by her side. She’s starting to get nervous about the birth and who’s going to be in the room when the baby is born. Joey’s mom Yolanda is such a hot mess, Allie doesn’t want her in the room. Seeing what has happened with her family and Joey’s, she doesn’t want herself and Joey to turn out to be parents like they had. You know, the kind that don’t really give a sh*t once you’re old enough to do things on your own.

Yolanda takes Allie and Joey over to Grandma Belen’s house because she has been on edge lately, and she totally explodes over a banana. She asked Allie for a banana, which she tossed to Joey’s son and asked him to hand it to his mom. She flipped telling Allie not to throw a banana at him (which she didn’t) and started telling Allie she gets on her nerves. She told Allie told go stay with her mom or dad, and Allie tells her she told her she could live with them but she doesn’t take care of them and that’s why they’re now at Grandma Belen’s. Yolanda jumped up and Joey gave her the straight arm as she went after Allie. She started claiming he hit her in the mouth (which he didn’t) and threatened “I’ll f*ck you up, and I’ll f*ck her up. I don’t even care if she’s pregnant.” She also took jabs at Allie telling her “So what I’m a dope fiend. At least I see my kids. What’s your f*cking parents’ problem? They don’t even do drugs and they don’t want to see you!” Holy crack head.

Allie told her mom what happened with Yolanda and she’s furious. She wants Allie to come back to Jersey but she’s still not willing to leave Joey. Yolanda doesn’t want them back at the house, so Grandma Belen is willing to let them move in for a year. They still have to pick up their stuff and Yolanda takes the moment to jump on Allie’s sh*t again. Yolanda’s not all bad, she did help Allie get Medicaid insurance for the pregnancy, but she still wants to throw in Allie’s face how her mom and dad aren’t there for her.

It’s time to break away from the drama for a minute while Allie learns how to put a diaper on…. a cat! That poor feline looked paralyzed while Allie tried to put a diaper on him, which fell off shortly after putting it on. Note to pregnant girls in my neighborhood: Just because you’re knocked up at Halloween, doesn’t mean you should dress up or paint your belly like a pumpkin and go trick or treating. That’s just weird.

Yolanda wants to sit down with Joey and Allie, but Allie’s worried since she hasn’t seen her since the last blowout. It turns out it’s all good as Yolanda tells them she has decided to go through rehab and detox and finally get clean. Doing pills for 10 years is hard on your body, and she’s finally ready to get clean for herself.

While Yolanda is away, Joey and Allie are busy getting everything ready for the baby, getting through school, and attending doctors’ appointments. During Allie’s 39th week visit, they decide to induce her the end of the week. Allie calls her mom to let her know, but Lauren isn’t going to be able to be there for a month because of scheduling with her job. Allie is upset her mom isn’t going to be there and is quick to cut off the rest of the conversation. All she wants is for her mom to be there, and now that’s not happening.

Yolanda is out of detox and is a hell of a lot better than she was before. Allie is getting along with Yolanda much better and decides to have her along with Grandma Belen and Joey in the room with her when she gets induced. While she was in the hospital, she was texting back and forth with her mom, which helps a little, but it’s not the same as having her there. Even though Lauren isn’t there, there was no drama, just the usual contraction pains after being induced, and little Aydenn was born into a peaceful environment.

Once they get home from the hospital, it’s obvious Joey isn’t going to be much of a help and that seems to carry on day after day. Allie’s friend K.B. stops by and Allie vents about Joey not being responsible.

Allie’s mom finally makes it down to Lauren, and it’s a tearful reunion for the two and Allie’s new baby boy Aydenn. This is the first time Lauren has met Joey and she has questions about what he plans on doing career wise and what he would settle for. He initially said the fast food business. Really dude? While Lauren’s in town to visit, it’s becoming clear Joey isn’t much help. Lauren and Allie went out to dinner and Allie finally vented about Joey being a wet blanket and slacking when it comes to taking care of Aydenn. Lauren’s worried about Allie and wants her to know she can move back to Jersey any time she wants. Next thing you know, Lauren’s visit is over and she’s going back to Jersey.

Allie works out a plan for Joey to help her more with Aydenn now that she’s back in school and he promises to do more, but he’s still lagging. She talks with Grandma Belen, who tells them they need to work out with each other. Allie again sits down with Joey and asks why he doesn’t help out more, and his response is that he’s lazy. The baby is 6 weeks old and he still doesn’t know how to make a bottle. That’s pathetic. Allie tells him if he wants to go back to his old life without her in it, to let her know and she’ll move on. Heck, she might as well since he’s not lifting a finger anyway.

As time goes on, their relationship gets worse and Joey starts telling Allie he’s miserable. Ashley and Joey go head to head and she’s ready to move out. Joey claims he was trying to help out, even though that was only about once a week. Joey didn’t realize how much a baby would change their relationship and the responsibility he would have to take on. Allie moves in with her friend Ashley for the next couple of months while she finishes high school, but she’s moving back to New Jersey after she graduates.

Taylor is just 15 years old and pregnant. She has been inseparable from her boyfriend Nathan who she met at a skating party. He’s only a year older than she is, but neither of them have a job or a driver’s license, so it’s a good thing they live just a couple of blocks away from each other.

Taylor’s mom Debi wants Taylor to put the baby up for adoption. Debi got pregnant at 17 and gave her child up for adoption because she knew she couldn’t handle raising a baby at such a young age and she doesn’t want Taylor to go through it, either. Nathan doesn’t want someone else raising their baby because he wants to be around, unlike his father was for him. Of course they think raising this baby is going to be easier than what it is.

Taylor isn’t giving the baby up for adoption and Nathan’s mom supports her decision. Taylor sat down with her mom and told her she is keeping the baby and Debi told Taylor, “You’re just so young you don’t realize how you gonna buy diapers, how you gonna clothe her? Adoptions aren’t like they used to be, you can have open adoptions.” Taylor doesn’t agree with her mom and says it’s her job to watch her baby girl grow up, not some stranger’s. Momma Debi broke down in tears saying “I just don’t want you to struggle. I know it’s going to be hard for ya.” Taylor’s sister Jeana also spoke with her about her decision to keep the baby and she knows it would be hard for Taylor to give her baby up for adoption. She doesn’t want Taylor to have a rude awakening when the baby arrives and tells her she needs to start preparing now for all of the responsibilities that are coming.

Now that they’re keeping the baby, Nathan needs to find a job and he says he’s filling out applications, but days later he still hadn’t turned an application in yet. She’s pissed he’s not looking for a job and dosen’t want her mom to have to pay for all of her babies needs. They went to a second hand baby store to buy stuff for their coming addition and start to realize how expensive everything is. Of course this leads to an argument about Nathan being jobless but he swears he’s gonna get a job. Seriously. He finally did apply but hasn’t heard anything yet.

School is starting back up for the year and Taylor’s isn’t too nervous about the first day, just don’t call her fat or then it’s on! She plans on going back to school after she has the baby but she doesn’t have anyone who can watch the baby for her so she might have to do online schooling instead. While having dinner with her mom, Nathan, and his mom, they decide Taylor is going to have to do online schooling once the baby is born and she is not happy about it.

Taylor’s due date has come but she isn’t experiencing contractions so she has to get induced. It’s funny watching her pack her clothes because she was being anal about what she was going to wear in the hospital. Really Taylor.. Really? Anyway, she was given Pitocin and the contractions got intense. Taylor was in major pain and couldn’t hold back the tears. You realize you’re dealing with a kid when she says “I wanna leave. I wanna go home.” Finally she was dilated enough to stat pushing and gave birth to an adorable baby girl, Aubri Rose.

Baby and Taylor are home and although Nathan was helpful at first, he’s starting to really slack off. He won’t even change Aubri’s sh!tty diaper. Man up son, you were man enough to ‘get it in’ be man enough to take responsibility for your actions. Taylor is completely exhausted because she’s doing pretty much everything on her own including trying to keep up with her online school. She’s beginning to miss all of her high school friends and wants to go back to regular schooling. Oh, and did I mention Nathan still doesn’t have a job? Yep, he’s slacking. During one of his overnight stays with Taylor and the baby, he get up to turn off a light, or attempt to make a bottles so Taylor did it herself as usual.

She’s had it with Nathan and her family has noticed how much she does on her own all of the time. Debi told Taylor she needs to tell Nathan to step up and be a better dad and her sister Jeana points out the obvious, “Y’all  are  being very childish.” Maybe it has something to do with them being children. I’m just sayin’! Nathan and Taylor can’t have a discussion about him helping out more without it turning into a fight. Debi heard their latest argument and sat down with Nathan and told him he needs to help out. It was the usual constant bickering between Taylor and Nathan but Debi stopped them both and said, “This situation is out of control and I will not have it. You have an attitude problem and this whole situation is why I said that child needed to be put up for adoption. It wasn’t because I didn’t love her, and it wasn’t because I didn’t love you two. It’s because kids should not have kids because you don’t know how to handle situations yet.”

She hit that nail on the head hard! Taylor spoke with Nathan alone and tried explaining to him for the millionth time she’s the one who give Aubri baths, feeds her, changed her and everything else in between, all the time. Nathan says he does everything but unless MTV completely edited out all of the help Nathan gave, I don’t think he has a case. Maybe Taylor finally putting her foot down, will get Nathan to open his eyes. If he doesn’t change, Taylor isn’t going to keep him around and frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. For the sake of their daughter, they need to do what’s right.

17-year-old Kianna is a Texas girl and aspires to be a veterinarian. She’s dating Zak who’s only 15 and lives in a half an hour away and attends a different school. He doesn’t have a license so he and Kianna don’t get to spend as much time together as they would like. Kianna’s mom doesn’t understand why Kianna kept the pregnancy a secret at first and it’s because Kianna was planning on having an abortion but she couldn’t go through with it so she’s thinking adoption is the right option. She tells Zak she wants to do adoption bu Zak isn’t keen on the idea. He wants to keep him since his dad was never around.

Kianna and Zak sit down to privately discuss their options between keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption. Because Kianna has dreams of becoming a veterinarian, she wants to give the baby up so she can focus on graduating high school, going to college, and starting her vet career. Working at McDonalds is not an option for Kianna. Zak says he wants to raise his son and he wants to be a better dad than his dad was. He doesn’t want some other man raising his baby. Kianna told him he better not bail out on her and the baby when things get hard.

Kianna and Zak approached Kianna’s mom about their decision to keep the baby and momma Rachel isn’t exactly jumping up and down with excitement. She tells Kianna it’s her baby and she can do what she wants to do but she better understand it’s gonna be a struggle and Kianna is going to have to do everything she can to do the best she can. She know Kianna can do it because she was a young mom herself but she makes it clear she’s not going to be their personal bank. They need to come up with a game plan and have more than the $130 Kianna says she has, to take care of this baby. Zak and Kianna both applied for jobs after talking with her mom, but neither have gotten a response.

Kianna is taking a parenting class and has to take care of a fake baby for a weekend and tend to it’s needs. Kianna and Zak take the fake baby to a restaurant and she starts crying during dinner. Zak rocked it, and fed it until it stopped crying so props to him, but I hope he doesn’t think raising a real baby is anything like this test experience.

Kianna finds out she’s at risk for preeclampsia and has to pee in a jug for 24 hours so they can check the protein in her urine and make sure the levels aren’t too high. If they are too high, it can be dangerous for the baby. Unfortunately, the tests come back positive and she has to go into the hospital that afternoon to be induced before it gets worse.  She was given Pitocin to help speed up the labor process but after 17 hours and only being dilated to a 4 (you have to be at a 10 to push), the doctors decided it was best to perform an emergency C-section. Not long after going into the operating room, little Kay’den was welcomed into the world.

Kianna and Kay’den spend the first day home from the hospital, which makes her nervous. Your first time at home alone with no help from nurses can be scary if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Once Zak got out of school he came over to Kianna’s and stepped up to the daddy plate as soon as he walked in the door. He changed Kay’den, made dinner for Kianna, he was great! Zak doesn’t have a car so he has to rely on his mom to get him back and forth to Kianna’s. Not having his help is stressing Kianna out and she knows it’s going to get harder when she goes back to school. Kianna and Zak also need to find jobs to help pay for Kay’den’s needs. This parenting stuff is never as easy as teenagers think.

Kianna is hoping one day her and Zak can live together instead of him only being able to be around on weekends. They also need to find jobs to help pay for Kay’dens needs because Rachel is strapped for cash as it is, and can’t afford to keep paying for Kianna’s baby too. Kianna wishes she and Zak would have waited to have a baby and would rather have been able to enjoy their teenage years.

Hey, this parenting stuff is never as easy as teenagers think!
