Rethinking Baby Borrowers

The show Baby Borrowers was a repeat this week, which gave me the opportunity to further discuss it with others. While everyone with whom I spoke felt some of the ‘contestants’ were painfully clueless and not ready to be parents, we all agreed that hopefully any teens watching the show would realize that parenthood is a difficult proposition.

From the perspective of current parents, the behavior of a few contestants was annoying, aggravating and irresponsible. However, hopefully this will illustrate to other teens that having children is neither something to be taken lightly nor a fun way to have a new little buddy. Our hope is that kids who watch Baby Borrowers will be more careful and less cavalier about becoming parents at an early age.
