Baby Borrowers on NBC
A few people had mentioned the upcoming show “Baby Borrowers” in comments about a pregnancy pact at a Massachusetts high school. The show basically thrusts teens into parental and adult situations to see how they cope.
NBC’s upcoming reality series “The Baby Borrowers” is an intriguing new social experiment based on the hit British program that asks five diverse teenage couples — ages 18-20 — to fast-track to adulthood by setting up a home, getting a job and becoming caring parents first to babies, toddlers, pre-teens and their pets, teenagers and senior citizens — all over the course of three weeks.
I’m definitely interested to see this show and find it an interesting premise. You never know who will step up to the challenge of parenting well and who will get totally overwhelmed, adult or teen. The show “Baby Borrowers” premiers June 25th on NBC.
I have to wonder though how fair to the toddlers this is. It seems so far out of a normal environment for a toddler…especially if the tenagers suck at parenting skills. Just a thought.
