Jenelle and Barbara Evans squared off last night on Teen Mom 2 Season 6 Episode 10, while Kailyn Lowry was torn between baby daddies.
Leah Messer? She was just a ... well, a mess, as ever. She is trying to get help, though, or so it appears. Let's recap that and much more ...
If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you probably wonder why Chelsea Houska is even on the show, given how well she's doing in love and life.
The aesthetician even said that “life is finally coming together” this week and that she's getting the family she wanted for daughter Aubree.
Houska can thank her “amazing” boyfriend, Cole De Boer, for that.
Seriously, her biggest worry - at least until Adam Lind gets another DUI - is whether Aubs can call Cole "dad" yet or not. Go Chelsea!
Down in the Carolinas, life is significantly stormier to say the least.
Jenelle and Barbara Evans set up a mediation hearing to try to figure out a custody agreement and what would work best for Jace.
That's what Babs wanted anyway. Jenelle was ... classic Jenelle.
They couldn't reach an agreement, meaning the next step is court, and as they met at a restaurant to discuss this, it got pretty heated.
“Court will be devastating,” Barbara tried to reason with her.
“You can’t just rip him out of everything he’s ever known.”
“I should have him full time, not you!” Jenelle responded.
It's unclear if Jenelle has ever seen Teen Mom 2 on MTV.
Barbara, incredulous over this after all she's done, fired back:
“This whole thing is about Jace! It’s not about you [or] me!”
“All I know is: Get your life together, then we figure out what to do with Jace, but Jace is going to be very, very upset if he has to leave.”
Ironically, Jenelle sees her younger son Kaiser making a mess and says that she can’t talk about custody issues at that very moment.
To say Barbara was unmoved would be an understatement.
Meanwhile, in Delaware, Kailyn Lowry took a break from drama with baby daddies Javi Marroquin and Jo Rivera to ... go house hunting.
Probably not the best activity when Javi feels he has to tag along to Kailyn's meeting with Rivera to ensure that his wife wasn’t cheating.
Kailyn rails that Jo's child support doesn't even make a dent; Jo claims he wants to do his fair share for Isaac and stay on good terms.
“You tell me what you need … then we’ll sit down with the actual numbers and talk about what I can do and what I can’t do,” he said.
Makes sense, at least, to try to avoid court and spending even more money. But Javi pushed her to make the courts handle ALL of it.
“What do you want me to do? Would you like me to give you all my money and just walk away?” Jo asked, clearly frustrated with them.
To be continued, as things typically are with these two/three.
Finally, Leah Messer's sad, tumultuous life continued to swirl out of control, or at least evolve constantly in erratically, in West Virginia.
The reality star bailed on rehab last week, which left her ex-husband Corey Simms concerned about Leah's negligent parenting.
(Presumably Leah wasn't being negligent by having sex with Corey Simms in his truck ... but that's a rumor/story for another time.)
"I don’t feel comfortable giving my kids to somebody who has a problem that I don’t know what it is,” Simms explained to his attorney.
"She has a problem, she’s willing to go to rehab or therapy, then all of a sudden, she comes back and she still has the problem."
“It’s best for Leah to get help, but I want to make sure the girls got all the stuff they need. I want her better for the kids’ sake.”
Corey is clearly gearing up to let his ex-wife have it in court if it comes to that, so here's hoping she gets her act together ASAP.
For her sake, and the kids' sake. Because it could get ugly.
