I don't blame her at all either. It's also crazy that Amber genuinely doesn't understand why Leah doesn't wanna talk to her and you can tell she really doesn't get why Leah wants nothing to do with her. She also can't read body language very well Leah looked SO uncomfortable and nervous with amber around.
Who remembers the episode when Deadbeat Portwood and Matt “the pedo” were dating and she guilt tripped little Leah over a Christmas ornament? Leah has been through too much no child should have to endure! 😡
I don’t even really understand why Amber is even on the show. She lost custody of both her kids. And I agree for Leah’s well-being that Gary and Kristina should get off the show to protect Leah from all this BS. Enough is enough, Amber has had so many chances with Leah and has blown every single chance to make amends with her. Proud of how far Leah has come, she now realises Amber will never change
Agreed . But it is a realistic situation of an absent parent still affecting their children while not being in their life . An insight to what these dead beats are up too on their free time lol

It's not caused by diet but it can still be regulated by diet and exercise. My aunt has type 1 and the only time her blood sugars were stable was when she ate healthy and exercised.
@@suras8984yeah but every one is different. My husband is type 1 diabetic and he can eat whatever as long as he takes his insulin. And he has zero body fat.
I am a type 1 diabetic and like Sarah said, everyone's diabetes is different. Type 1 is not caused by diet but diet and exercise can certainly help maintain good glucose control. There are 42 factors that can affect blood sugar, some are within people's control and some not. Things like medications, temperature, stress, hydration level, etc can call cause changes to blood sugar. Some type 1s are also classified as brittle. Brittle diabetes causes frequent, unpredictable, and hard to manage swings in blood sugars for unknown reasons. Mackenzie might be a brittle diabetic. There is also such a thing as diabetes burnout. Diabetes is a never ending, relentless disease that requires a lot of mental space constantly and sometime it's too overwhelming to take the time to care for it properly.
@@suras8984people with t1d can eat whatever they want as long as they have insulin for it. Eating a healthy diet and exercising alone isn’t going to cause you to have better blood sugars. You can eat chocolate and fried food all day and still maintain a good A1C. - a mom to a t1d child

@@gaylemartin6995he shouldn't have led her on but it seems like he might've proposed before they started fighting all the time. That's why he should've taken it slow and that way if it didn't work out it wouldn't have been as sad as it ended up being. It would have been painful still but it would've been an ordinary breakup instead of getting her hopes up. But on another level amber now knows how it feels to have her hopes crushed like Leah does when she hoped amber would be there. It's possible that this is her karma for everything she's done to Leah.
This is a parent/child situation where it’s in Leah’s best interest to cut ties with her mom. Even if Amber plays up who she is for more drama on the show, the fact that she’s treating her daughter horribly is inexcusable!! Amber has made some great strides since she was a teen but that doesn’t mean she should be in Leah’s life. I’m so thankful Gary stepped up and his wife takes care of Leah like her own.
Amber reminds me soo much of my husbands mom, always bringing a new partner to show off, always talking about themselves, always pressuring the kids to compliment them. Text book narcissism. So sad.
Mackenzie should NOT be going through IVF. She’s risking her life when she already has 3 children. It’s not wise. They could either use a surrogate or just not have a fourth child!
Mackenzie is type 1. So her diet and exercise does not effect her ability to make insulin. Her pancreas just doesnt make insulin period. Its an auto immune disease and very serious, probably more so than diabetes type 2. Also the numbers they spoke of were her hemoglobin A1C. which is am average of her blood sugars for the past 3 months. I believe 6.0 and under is typical range for non diabetics. Mackenzies isnt the worst, but as far as pregnancy she needs to listen to her dr and go with her gut. Its a bad idea. Her man is irresponsible for asking her to do that.
Amber looking like Ms.Trunchbull from Matilda with that hair style. Leah had enough of her birth mother and I'm glad Leah doesn't care for amber. Leah is tired of her birth mother excuses.
We have to remember that Amber has mental health issues and it shows in her behavior. I'd cut her some slack. Leah should be taught about mental health particularly Amber's specifics and hopefully she will honor her with some grace.
@@JanetSmith-gq9keit’s really hard to be the child of a parent with mental health issues. You still feel abandonment and hurt… despite understanding - The mental health can feel like an excuse almost when as a child you just want a parent (ie. mom or dad).
I know, what an insane world we live in where people will just have kids with anybody, but then turn around and say marriage is too big of a commitment. 🙄🤦♀️
It’s kind of pathetic how Macy and everyone blames McKenzie for Ryan’s bad behavior and bad choices . Why are they applauding him and coddling him for doing what he’s supposed to do as a grown man ? I’m over it . Why is he even allowed to be on the show after stalking and threatening a women ? He should get the same treatment as Janelle and David . Macy was so against Farrah bc she did porn but Amber and Ryan are ok??!
Exactly, Maci was pushing Bentley to be around an active drug addict too. It wasn’t Mackenzie’s fault that he turned to drugs and he tore up their house like a crazy person then threatened her. It really makes me feel like Ryan’s got something over her.
i honestly don’t think Maci blamed Mackenzie she just doesn’t like her because she tried to have a relationship with her and she was terrible to her remember the stupid letter
I mean Mackenzie married a dude who was *high* as a kite! Falling asleep at the wheel on the way to their wedding!! I have ZERO sympathy for her, she was clearly in that relationship for personal gain somehow, why else was she so determined to marry a druggie, this woman literally risked her life for that rush wedding in the park that was only attended by his parents. It was embarassing as heck. They can't blame her for Ryan's issues, but why she got involved, and then had 2 kids with an active addict is beyond me.
Mackenzie is making a HUGE mistake. Just wait this will blow up in her face. She may not be able to carry a healthy baby to full term. Its an extreme risk. In a way its selfish, because she has 3 children that need her. She is choosing to have a baby with a random bf for him. He clearly does NOT understand the risk nor does he care he just wants a kid. I dont think they will last as a couple. The baby changes everything if they get that far and have a kid.
Amber does not want anything to do with being a mother. She is still on the show for drama and drama only. I feel bad for Leah who keeps being subjected to her toxic & detrimental behavior .
Don't forget Leah's little sister Emilee. It's ridiculous that none of the supposedly responsible adults care enough to keep them away from seeing Amber's chaotic and unstable life choices while she makes a freaking mess of herself on TV😠😡😢💔
I cannot understand Amber. Why are her kids not number 1 priorities? What does she do all day, hang out with the weird men she dates? What a life. I dont get it. Poor Leah
I’m a type one. I got diabetes at 17 when I was in great shape. My doctors suspect I got an infection and my body attacked my pancreatic cells instead of the virus. The pancreas died and I am now insulin dependent. It doesn’t matter what you eat, you need insulin when you’re a type one diabetic
IVF is not safe for Mackenzie. And neither is pregnancy at this point. Having 3 kids is pushing if for a T1D. My husband has had is since he was a young child and so many things can affect it.
It must be annoying & degrading to have a mom who makes everything about herself. Amber always uses her “bipolar” as an excuse & I’m just so sick of her poor me attitude. Get over yourself girl.
Amber is a mess. She shouldn’t even be on the show. Also what man in their right mind would marry a women who looses custody of her kids. Clearly she’s not marriage material. Even if you don’t want kids would you want you wife to be nurturing.
She has Type 1, not Type 2. Both are very hard to control, but Type 1 is worse (not about diet and exercise as much as Type 2). I have Type 2 and I feel so much empathy every day for the people I know with Type 1. It's really hard.
Amber does even mention baby James anymore 😂is she legally not able to do so ? Why isn’t she trying to fight for custody ? I’m sure the court recommended some parenting classes and things to do , she just said to hell with it ? That would be my first priority. To regain custody or joint of my son before getting married . I couldn’t even marry a women who doesn’t have any of her children . As a mom , I don’t even see how she’s ok with it . If Ty and Cate could legally get custody of Carly they would be in court every week with a high priced lawyer fighting for her
She went to court and they gave full custody to Andrew so that tells you everything you need to know about Amber. She was visiting James but as per usual that’s become very sparse too just like her visits with Leah. She’s a part time mother and she enjoys being a part time mother. She should be upfront and tell everyone that’s how she feels. She’s basically an egg donor and that’s all. She constantly uses her mental health issues as excuses but this is old and boring and has been going on for years. No excuse anymore. She should be off the show. She doesn’t have either child so she’s useless on there other than to show how a narcissist treats their child.
Relating to Leah: my brother is 14 and I’m 28, I see very similar things in him that I see with Leah due to my mother being a coke and alcohol addict. It pains me with the hundreds of lies they’re told as if they have no clue what is going on. They are functioning and capable beings who have feelings that can’t be toyed with at such young ages. Relating with Jade: my previous mention of my mom had caused me to behave in a similar way with my mom. She was the best doting mother, until she wasn’t. All I want is for her to come back, but it might take a bit more time and heartbreak for me or jade to truly understand. I can see it happening with her and think, no this won’t happen to me, but it still does. Trauma is the ultimate torture for when we age and come to know who we are. I hope we all can find our peace when it comes to our traumas. I can’t believe this show is still on, especially with all these very serious problems being shown. I get that it is real life, but it doesn’t help that we see the children’s pain and anguish. Good video, I only watch your recaps and don’t keep up with the show because you do it better! ❤❤❤
Amber is so self absorbed everything is viewed as how she feels and how it affects her. She never puts her kids first and I worry about James being left alone with Amber
Mackenzie is type 1 diabetic & I have been for 25 years (since I was 7) growing up my A1C (which is an average of the last 3 months of blood sugar) got up to 13 which is BAD (this was around 16-17 years old). Once the doctor told me that it would affect me trying to have kids & myself, I changed the way I was taking care of myself. Now I’m 32 with 3 healthy babies. As of today tho my A1C fluctuates between 6.5-6.9 and I still use needles & vials. She is DEFINITELY more fit than me but it matters when she takes her insulin and if she’s taking enough to cover what she’s eating. Her blood sugar would have to be staying a little on the high side to make it be close to an 8. It also matters if she is stressed or uses anything with steroids cuz that can make your sugar high. Hope this helps and makes sense.
Parent of a Type 1 teen… I can chime in. Difficult haha is an understatement. It is 24/7 even in the night while most are sleeping. Giving insulin for a high or having a fast carb for a Low blood sugar! Just to give you some perspective my daughter will go high meaning her blood sugar will raise from the heat of taking a shower. It will raise from the heat of taking a walk being stressed hormones right before she starts her cycle. There is no such thing as controlling type one.. you do your best acting as a pancreas, but it is like a seesaw on top of a roller coaster. 💙💙 my daughter is 15 and her last A1C was 7.4. We work our butts off for that number too. Also depends if you inject your insulin or you have an insulin pump.
The fact that he left that wedding weekend the way he did & then darted directly to another state & then got engaged to someone else just weeks later makes me think that he was having an affair with the girl he's engaged to now behind Amber's back.
I think he's every bit as sketchy as amber is. The fact that he moved on so fast and he seems like he only goes after women with money. It could be that this other woman has more money than amber so he's picking one over the other.
I've personally been engaged twice, married once, divorced 0. I felt embarrassed for a long time about being engaged more than once, but ultimately just accepted that I was better off and everyone makes mistakes. 🤷🏻♀️ Amber's got no excuse, the girl is toxic 😂
I've been engaged a few times but only married once. Realizing you aren't meant to be together forever before marriage is huge and definitely not anything to be embarrassed about :)
Amber’s embarrassment should stem from the neglect of her children not her numerous engagements So glad that Leah has her dad and her real mom Christina in her life
You are a hypocrite. You are allowed to make mistakes and Amber is not? Seriously I can see Amber is mentally ill and she came from a dysfunctional family she had issues with substance abuse and toxic relationships. Not everyone is cut out for parenting. Leah is blessed with a family. A mom dad and sister and has a birth mom. It is what it is. Amber will never be a mom to Leah it is done. One day Leah will be a woman and may forgive her. It's not our opinion that matters it's Leah's. We don't know the true relationship . I hope this helps you judge less. Amber is mentally ill. It's different from just being a dead beat mom. She is impulsive and makes bad relationship choices.
As someone who could be put in the "glutton for punishment" category. it's definitely not about needing the stress because that's exhausting.. it's more about not wanting to let go 💔 thankfully I'm learning how to
Reading your comment I felt like you were speaking about me. I’m currently learning how to let go myself. Like you said the stress is exhausting but I’m finally trying to break free from it all. Sending positive energy your way ❤
I wonder if Leah ever watches your videos... Must be kinda weird having people talk about you online where you're able to access it and hear what they say about you as a teen 🙃
I was engaged once, married once, & divorced once. Good For Leah. If I had a mother like Amber I’d want nothing to do with her too. Gary and Kristina are subjecting Leah To Amber For The Show, For Ratings, So TMNC doesn’t get canceled & so Amber doesn’t lose her only source of income and so Gary and Kristina don’t lose one of their sources of income. I agree Grace, Gary and Kristina need to stop ✋ being on the show, if nothing else to protect Leah. When Leah Turns 18, I hope 🤞 and pray 🙏🏻 that Leah pulls from the show once she’s 18.
I hate that Jade is always parenting her parents and allowing them to take over her space. Her new home is beautiful and it seems like she really has it together. I hope she can distance herself for her own well being
@@Softball102098 yeah. In July he missed a court date to see what custody he would be able to get regarding his 2 other kids. But he failed to show up to court.
I have diabetes and when you’re type 1 it’s VERY hard to control your blood sugars! She doesn’t need to lose weight because it’s a condition she was born with. It’s extremely difficult because anything can cause your sugars to go up or down 😢! It’s soooo hard! And she’s in amazing shape so honestly she probably has it even worse than people who aren’t in shape 🫣🫣🫣
Diabetes sucksssss every effin single day it is drama. I can be as healthy as possible and then the sun comes out…hypo….cold again hypo…. Eat the same food everyday…hypo hypo hypo. Shit it sucks i hate it it ruins my life and my freedom.
Ok but Kristina makes me sick too, always acting so holier than thou, up on her high horse. She’s not the saint she’d like to think she is. How could she be? She abandoned her own kids to be with Gary and raise his daughter. Neither of them are great moms, but I’m tired of Kristina acting like she is. Leah didn’t say she didn’t want to see Amber until she opened her big mouth, asking where she’s been for 7 months. Leah takes cues and hints well.
@@emilys.coelho6031 ha! You're so right. I was thinking the other day how I bet Maci is neurodivergent she def has a bunch of stims and special interests
With type one diabetes, there’s all different kinds of complications some that you just can’t control no matter how healthy you are. I worked in the ICU for years and those were always the hardest patients.
Mackenzie has type 1 diabetes! Totally different from type 2 diabetes and ozempic users. Ozempic is not insulin, it’s an appetite suppressant. She’d be skin and bones if she went on that. She doesn’t make insulin… so her body can never break down sugar. She has to inject artificial insulin and check her sugars regularly. Doesn’t matter diet, exercise…
Everything you said is correct except that diet and exercise still matters. Aerobic activity can drop glucose levels. Anaerobic activity can temporarily increase glucose levels. Etc.
Engaged once, married once, still together 4 kids and 20 years later! But I think it's better to have been engaged multiple times, than it is to marry the wrong person (or people,) and get divorced multiple times.
Totally agree ❤ Why is amber even on teen m9n???? She don’t even have her kids!!!! There both with there dads!!! Plus the whole domestic violence from her!! Every time this girl appears is when she turns up with some different man!!!
MacKenzie is Type I diabetic. That can be very difficult to control. I had a friend i knew since 7th grade that passed away from complications of Type I Diabetes
I just don’t like how Gary talks negatively about Amber in front of his daughter this is why she’s seems so negative towards her mom Gary talks to her like she’s an adult he should always speak highly of Amber I’m from if his daughter IJS her attitude towards her mom is nasty I blame Gary & his wife
Unfortunately teenagers have their own minds and opinions. I always speak highly of my child’s father in front of them and every single time they tell me to just stop, they have eyes and ears and they can see what the other parent is… at some point u just gotta be honest in a way that’s appropriate for them. Sadly amber has put her kids thru the most and they lived it. We only see hits and pieces…
Gary has always talked positively about Amber to Leah but Amber’s put them all through hell. It’s only lately that he’s not sticking up for her. He was pushing Leah to have a relationship with Amber but Amber doesn’t respond. So, Leah’s old enough to know what her egg donor really is! Amber’s a complete loser.
The guy MacKenzie is with(I can't spell his name lol) is screaming red flags with him pushing her to have a child for him knowing how risky it is baffles the ever living eff out of me. Sure he is a nice guy, but the way he is handling the situation is screaming "selfish". He should respect her/love her enough to respect her choices, especially if it's going to put her life in jepaody. I had 2 healthy pregnancies and they are teenagers now and I definitely wouldn't want anymore children now. I just don't understand why someone would even consider taking a chance knowing the risks...smh.
Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, the type that Mackenzie has, so diet and exercise help manage the symptoms but she will always have to be so very careful. Her body just doesn’t produce insulin correctly, and can cause her to feel sick, fevers, have the depression symptoms she has etc. it causes a lot more than people realize. She does amazing at managing it with her diet and exercise but I hate this man trying to force her to have another baby. I’m sorry, I would never be with a man that would want me to suffer like that. That’s so selfish and I wish she would see how he doesn’t seem to care about her at all, she has kids already and if he loved her for real, he would take them in as his own as well when they married. He gives me weird vibes, seems he may be after money and “fame” She is beautiful, she needs to get rid of that dusty, selfish jerk!
I cackled when I saw that cup in Kristy’s hand. 😂 Amber irks my nerves b/c she comes into these scenes as if no time has passed and Leah is supposed to just go with the program. I’m glad she’s not going along with Amber and her bs though. I think it’s easier to say cut your parent off than it is to actually do it. I agree with you, but I won’t judge her b/c I’ve never been there.
Mac is Type 1 diabetic, her body just doesnt produce insulin effectively. Type 2 is more related to lifetsyle, diet, exercise and also pregnancy.. Both can be hard to control but type one is notably harder.
It’s easier said than done to cut off your parent who is in active addiction. Especially if it’s all you’ve known your entire life. There is that little kid still occupying space inside your heart desperately trying to be enough for their parents. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you can’t really speak on it.
Diabetic here. It’s constant roller coaster. Every day is different. She lives healthier than me. But she could use a cgm and Omnipod to help with monitoring and insulin treatment. She’s not hurting for money so these devices should be a given at this point if you want to take it seriously.
Mackenzie has type 1 I believe and not type 2 which is what people usually refer to and know more of when discussing diabetes. Diabetes type 2 is easier to manage in general but can obviously get out of control too.
Leah will be going no contact with Amber as soon as she turns 18, I guarantee it
I cackled when I saw that cup in Kristy’s hand!😂
And, I don’t blame her one bit.
I would if I was her!
I don't blame her at all either.

It would have been painful still but it would've been an ordinary breakup instead of getting her hopes up. But on another level amber now knows how it feels to have her hopes crushed like Leah does when she hoped amber would be there. It's possible that this is her karma for everything she's done to Leah.
@@DreadDollsmall town!
This is a parent/child situation where it’s in Leah’s best interest to cut ties with her mom. Even if Amber plays up who she is for more drama on the show, the fact that she’s treating her daughter horribly is inexcusable!! Amber has made some great strides since she was a teen but that doesn’t mean she should be in Leah’s life. I’m so thankful Gary stepped up and his wife takes care of Leah like her own.
That freeze frame of MacKenzie diabolical 😂
💀
Grace did her wrong 😂😂
Why doesn't Mackenzie have someone else carry the baby? Another pregnancy seems too much for her body!!
Or better yet not have anymore. That hot will run off watch
Probably too expensive 😢
@@cvp2000is it more than IVF?
@@Cat_herdersi think the average cost of ivf is $20K and surrogacy is $100K (but can vary)
@@Cat_herders Yes, because you still have to do IVF along with paying for the surrogate.
Amber reminds me soo much of my husbands mom, always bringing a new partner to show off, always talking about themselves, always pressuring the kids to compliment them. Text book narcissism. So sad.
Thank God Leah has the support of her dad and Christina. I don’t blame her one bit for how she feels about Amber.
Mackenzie should NOT be going through IVF. She’s risking her life when she already has 3 children. It’s not wise. They could either use a surrogate or just not have a fourth child!
Mackenzie is type 1. So her diet and exercise does not effect her ability to make insulin. Her pancreas just doesnt make insulin period. Its an auto immune disease and very serious, probably more so than diabetes type 2. Also the numbers they spoke of were her hemoglobin A1C. which is am average of her blood sugars for the past 3 months. I believe 6.0 and under is typical range for non diabetics. Mackenzies isnt the worst, but as far as pregnancy she needs to listen to her dr and go with her gut. Its a bad idea. Her man is irresponsible for asking her to do that.
Type 1 diabetes is definitely 100% worse than type 2 diabetes.
Amber looking like Ms.Trunchbull from Matilda with that hair style. Leah had enough of her birth mother and I'm glad Leah doesn't care for amber. Leah is tired of her birth mother excuses.
LMFAO
When Cristy walked into Jades house & she had that big gulp I fell out 2- I was actually thinking of you Grace!
Same!😂😂
Same
18:08 Leah is not a prop! Best thing ive heard today. Amber really does treat her kids like props in her life.
We have to remember that Amber has mental health issues and it shows in her behavior. I'd cut her some slack. Leah should be taught about mental health particularly Amber's specifics and hopefully she will honor her with some grace.
@@JanetSmith-gq9keit’s really hard to be the child of a parent with mental health issues. You still feel abandonment and hurt… despite understanding -
The mental health can feel like an excuse almost when as a child you just want a parent (ie. mom or dad).
Gary needs that MTV check. He needs to protect his child
i think he tells amber off next episode
No he don't; He needs to stop letting Amber see Leah.
Funny how ShAmbler wasn’t late for her birthday meal!
💖✨ Having a baby is a much bigger responsibility than marriage. People should really get married before deciding to have kids. Just saying...
I know, what an insane world we live in where people will just have kids with anybody, but then turn around and say marriage is too big of a commitment. 🙄🤦♀️
You had me rolling talking about Maci flirting with Ryan flipping her hair around. 😂
It’s kind of pathetic how Macy and everyone blames McKenzie for Ryan’s bad behavior and bad choices . Why are they applauding him and coddling him for doing what he’s supposed to do as a grown man ? I’m over it . Why is he even allowed to be on the show after stalking and threatening a women ? He should get the same treatment as Janelle and David . Macy was so against Farrah bc she did porn but Amber and Ryan are ok??!
Because Maci doesn't her and Ryansbusiness out there for the world to know so she backs him up on everything.
Exactly, Maci was pushing Bentley to be around an active drug addict too. It wasn’t Mackenzie’s fault that he turned to drugs and he tore up their house like a crazy person then threatened her. It really makes me feel like Ryan’s got something over her.
i honestly don’t think Maci blamed Mackenzie she just doesn’t like her because she tried to have a relationship with her and she was terrible to her remember the stupid letter
I mean Mackenzie married a dude who was *high* as a kite! Falling asleep at the wheel on the way to their wedding!! I have ZERO sympathy for her, she was clearly in that relationship for personal gain somehow, why else was she so determined to marry a druggie, this woman literally risked her life for that rush wedding in the park that was only attended by his parents. It was embarassing as heck.
They can't blame her for Ryan's issues, but why she got involved, and then had 2 kids with an active addict is beyond me.
Mackenzie is making a HUGE mistake. Just wait this will blow up in her face. She may not be able to carry a healthy baby to full term. Its an extreme risk. In a way its selfish, because she has 3 children that need her. She is choosing to have a baby with a random bf for him. He clearly does NOT understand the risk nor does he care he just wants a kid. I dont think they will last as a couple. The baby changes everything if they get that far and have a kid.
Agreed. Their storyline makes me extremely uncomfortable 😳
So sad for Leah but I am glad Christina took over and Leah loves her 💖💖
Emergency Big Gulp😂😂
Gotta get that blood sugar spike 🤣
Amber does not want anything to do with being a mother. She is still on the show for drama and drama only. I feel bad for Leah who keeps being subjected to her toxic & detrimental behavior .
Don't forget Leah's little sister Emilee. It's ridiculous that none of the supposedly responsible adults care enough to keep them away from seeing Amber's chaotic and unstable life choices while she makes a freaking mess of herself on TV😠😡😢💔
Leah just wants her mom to b there for her..She has to quit bringing all these men..She is pathetic ..😡💯
Gary a friendly ghost 😂😂
I cannot understand Amber. Why are her kids not number 1 priorities? What does she do all day, hang out with the weird men she dates? What a life. I dont get it. Poor Leah
Kasaneo needs a heavy dose of reality...positivity does not equal support.
I’m a type one. I got diabetes at 17 when I was in great shape. My doctors suspect I got an infection and my body attacked my pancreatic cells instead of the virus. The pancreas died and I am now insulin dependent. It doesn’t matter what you eat, you need insulin when you’re a type one diabetic
Christie & all the Big Gulps kills me 😂 Idk why, but I have a soft spot for Christie.
One thing about Christie… She’s going to have her a Big Gulp cup in her hand😂
As soon as I seen Christy with that big gulp, my first thought was Grace is going to be so excited 😂😂😂
Every time I see her with a big gulp I always think of Grace 😂
Im screaming 😂😂😂
The only way Gary keeping Leah on TV is acceptable is if he's putting that money in her college fund and she's agreeable to this!
Sorry but you don't have a vote on this!😅
I hope they’re making sound financial decisions as well . Because these checks are definitely coming at a cost
The only thing that made the restaurant scene watchable was Emily’s reactions. That child is hilarious 😂
Girl, you got me at Gary the friendly ghost! I can’t!😂☠️💀
Leah and her sister lol like the have the same dad and mom. They looks so similar for half siblings.
IVF is not safe for Mackenzie. And neither is pregnancy at this point. Having 3 kids is pushing if for a T1D. My husband has had is since he was a young child and so many things can affect it.
It must be annoying & degrading to have a mom who makes everything about herself. Amber always uses her “bipolar” as an excuse & I’m just so sick of her poor me attitude. Get over yourself girl.
Amber is a mess. She shouldn’t even be on the show. Also what man in their right mind would marry a women who looses custody of her kids. Clearly she’s not marriage material. Even if you don’t want kids would you want you wife to be nurturing.
She has Type 1, not Type 2. Both are very hard to control, but Type 1 is worse (not about diet and exercise as much as Type 2). I have Type 2 and I feel so much empathy every day for the people I know with Type 1. It's really hard.
Amber does even mention baby James anymore 😂is she legally not able to do so ? Why isn’t she trying to fight for custody ? I’m sure the court recommended some parenting classes and things to do , she just said to hell with it ? That would be my first priority. To regain custody or joint of my son before getting married . I couldn’t even marry a women who doesn’t have any of her children . As a mom , I don’t even see how she’s ok with it . If Ty and Cate could legally get custody of Carly they would be in court every week with a high priced lawyer fighting for her
Well the baby lives in California and she is in indiana. I do think they had a visit but on going visits would be hard
She went to court and they gave full custody to Andrew so that tells you everything you need to know about Amber. She was visiting James but as per usual that’s become very sparse too just like her visits with Leah. She’s a part time mother and she enjoys being a part time mother. She should be upfront and tell everyone that’s how she feels. She’s basically an egg donor and that’s all. She constantly uses her mental health issues as excuses but this is old and boring and has been going on for years. No excuse anymore. She should be off the show. She doesn’t have either child so she’s useless on there other than to show how a narcissist treats their child.
Relating to Leah: my brother is 14 and I’m 28, I see very similar things in him that I see with Leah due to my mother being a coke and alcohol addict. It pains me with the hundreds of lies they’re told as if they have no clue what is going on. They are functioning and capable beings who have feelings that can’t be toyed with at such young ages.
Relating with Jade: my previous mention of my mom had caused me to behave in a similar way with my mom. She was the best doting mother, until she wasn’t. All I want is for her to come back, but it might take a bit more time and heartbreak for me or jade to truly understand. I can see it happening with her and think, no this won’t happen to me, but it still does.
Trauma is the ultimate torture for when we age and come to know who we are. I hope we all can find our peace when it comes to our traumas. I can’t believe this show is still on, especially with all these very serious problems being shown. I get that it is real life, but it doesn’t help that we see the children’s pain and anguish.
Good video, I only watch your recaps and don’t keep up with the show because you do it better! ❤❤❤
Amber is so self absorbed everything is viewed as how she feels and how it affects her. She never puts her kids first and I worry about James being left alone with Amber
Mackenzie is type 1 diabetic & I have been for 25 years (since I was 7) growing up my A1C (which is an average of the last 3 months of blood sugar) got up to 13 which is BAD (this was around 16-17 years old). Once the doctor told me that it would affect me trying to have kids & myself, I changed the way I was taking care of myself. Now I’m 32 with 3 healthy babies. As of today tho my A1C fluctuates between 6.5-6.9 and I still use needles & vials. She is DEFINITELY more fit than me but it matters when she takes her insulin and if she’s taking enough to cover what she’s eating. Her blood sugar would have to be staying a little on the high side to make it be close to an 8. It also matters if she is stressed or uses anything with steroids cuz that can make your sugar high. Hope this helps and makes sense.
Parent of a Type 1 teen… I can chime in. Difficult haha is an understatement. It is 24/7 even in the night while most are sleeping. Giving insulin for a high or having a fast carb for a Low blood sugar! Just to give you some perspective my daughter will go high meaning her blood sugar will raise from the heat of taking a shower. It will raise from the heat of taking a walk being stressed hormones right before she starts her cycle. There is no such thing as controlling type one.. you do your best acting as a pancreas, but it is like a seesaw on top of a roller coaster. 💙💙 my daughter is 15 and her last A1C was 7.4. We work our butts off for that number too. Also depends if you inject your insulin or you have an insulin pump.
Not to give amber the benefit of the doubt but I’m pretty sure with her custody situation she/gary can’t mention James on the show.
Amber talks about James, she can't film him during her visits but She can talk about him
I wanna know how everyone feels now after this aftermath with Gary 2.0 🤦♀️
The fact that he left that wedding weekend the way he did & then darted directly to another state & then got engaged to someone else just weeks later makes me think that he was having an affair with the girl he's engaged to now behind Amber's back.
I think he's every bit as sketchy as amber is. The fact that he moved on so fast and he seems like he only goes after women with money. It could be that this other woman has more money than amber so he's picking one over the other.
I've personally been engaged twice, married once, divorced 0. I felt embarrassed for a long time about being engaged more than once, but ultimately just accepted that I was better off and everyone makes mistakes. 🤷🏻♀️ Amber's got no excuse, the girl is toxic 😂
I've been engaged a few times but only married once. Realizing you aren't meant to be together forever before marriage is huge and definitely not anything to be embarrassed about :)
Amber’s embarrassment should stem from the neglect of her children not her numerous engagements
So glad that Leah has her dad and her real mom Christina in her life
@@nbuck617 honestly, yes. Being engaged 100 times pales in comparison to abandoning not one, but two kids
Smart. I married my Mr Wrong because I’m an idiot.
You are a hypocrite. You are allowed to make mistakes and Amber is not? Seriously I can see Amber is mentally ill and she came from a dysfunctional family she had issues with substance abuse and toxic relationships. Not everyone is cut out for parenting. Leah is blessed with a family. A mom dad and sister and has a birth mom. It is what it is. Amber will never be a mom to Leah it is done. One day Leah will be a woman and may forgive her. It's not our opinion that matters it's Leah's. We don't know the true relationship . I hope this helps you judge less. Amber is mentally ill. It's different from just being a dead beat mom. She is impulsive and makes bad relationship choices.
Gary The Friendly Ghost 😂😂 I’m dead lol
People like Gary and Maci will never get off the show and never stop exploiting their children because they’re lazy and don’t want to get a job
Both self pigs!
As someone who could be put in the "glutton for punishment" category. it's definitely not about needing the stress because that's exhausting.. it's more about not wanting to let go 💔 thankfully I'm learning how to
Reading your comment I felt like you were speaking about me. I’m currently learning how to let go myself. Like you said the stress is exhausting but I’m finally trying to break free from it all. Sending positive energy your way ❤
I wonder if Leah ever watches your videos... Must be kinda weird having people talk about you online where you're able to access it and hear what they say about you as a teen 🙃
It would be SO weird
I bet jade’s family tries to make her feel guilty for wanting to cut them off.
I was engaged once, married once, & divorced once. Good For Leah. If I had a mother like Amber I’d want nothing to do with her too. Gary and Kristina are subjecting Leah To Amber For The Show, For Ratings, So TMNC doesn’t get canceled & so Amber doesn’t lose her only source of income and so Gary and Kristina don’t lose one of their sources of income. I agree Grace, Gary and Kristina need to stop ✋ being on the show, if nothing else to protect Leah. When Leah Turns 18, I hope 🤞 and pray 🙏🏻 that Leah pulls from the show once she’s 18.
I hate that Jade is always parenting her parents and allowing them to take over her space. Her new home is beautiful and it seems like she really has it together. I hope she can distance herself for her own well being
But what about Ryan’s other 2 kids? Isn’t he gonna spend time with those 2? If he fully wants to turn things around.
I believe he isn’t allowed to see those kids after destroying Mack’s house but I don’t know for sure
They’ll just keep blaming McKenzie . She’s his trigger and the cause of all his issues and addiction , not his enabling parents or himself 🙄
@@Softball102098 yeah. In July he missed a court date to see what custody he would be able to get regarding his 2 other kids. But he failed to show up to court.
I have diabetes and when you’re type 1 it’s VERY hard to control your blood sugars! She doesn’t need to lose weight because it’s a condition she was born with. It’s extremely difficult because anything can cause your sugars to go up or down 😢! It’s soooo hard! And she’s in amazing shape so honestly she probably has it even worse than people who aren’t in shape 🫣🫣🫣
Big gulp 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ya took me out with that pic at 6:19 😂
Thank you for the Recaps I stay waiting for them.
How does Ryan have a full grey head and a black beard?
GRACE THAT FIRST PICTURE YOU USED FOR MACKENZIE 💀 LMAO GIRL 😹 I thought I’d accidentally paused the video 😹
💀💀💀
Diabetes sucksssss every effin single day it is drama. I can be as healthy as possible and then the sun comes out…hypo….cold again hypo…. Eat the same food everyday…hypo hypo hypo. Shit it sucks i hate it it ruins my life and my freedom.
Goshhh that sounds so brutal!! I’m sorry Tessa 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭💔💔
Ok but Kristina makes me sick too, always acting so holier than thou, up on her high horse. She’s not the saint she’d like to think she is. How could she be? She abandoned her own kids to be with Gary and raise his daughter. Neither of them are great moms, but I’m tired of Kristina acting like she is. Leah didn’t say she didn’t want to see Amber until she opened her big mouth, asking where she’s been for 7 months. Leah takes cues and hints well.
Not Gary the friendly ghost 🤣😭 Grace, you should attend the next reunion and be one of the audience members to ask questions. THAT would be rich. 😅
I'm so over Jade and the same storyline
There's a storyline? Lol agreed. What a snore bore
Maci twirling her hair was so flirty!
tô be fair maci is always touching her damn hair lmaoo
@@emilys.coelho6031 ha! You're so right. I was thinking the other day how I bet Maci is neurodivergent she def has a bunch of stims and special interests
My 4 year old is type 1 and so is her dad. It can be hard to control especially if you have an influx in hormones like when pregnant
My father in law passed away from complications of type 1 diabetes
With type one diabetes, there’s all different kinds of complications some that you just can’t control no matter how healthy you are. I worked in the ICU for years and those were always the hardest patients.
Mackenzie has type 1 diabetes! Totally different from type 2 diabetes and ozempic users. Ozempic is not insulin, it’s an appetite suppressant. She’d be skin and bones if she went on that. She doesn’t make insulin… so her body can never break down sugar. She has to inject artificial insulin and check her sugars regularly. Doesn’t matter diet, exercise…
Everything you said is correct except that diet and exercise still matters. Aerobic activity can drop glucose levels. Anaerobic activity can temporarily increase glucose levels. Etc.
Engaged once, married once, still together 4 kids and 20 years later!
But I think it's better to have been engaged multiple times, than it is to marry the wrong person (or people,) and get divorced multiple times.
Agreed! Cheers to 100 more years for you and your husband 🥰🥰❤️
Does Leah ever call Amber mom when she talks to her?
I don’t think so
She doesn’t
I love your recaps. They are better than the show ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much!! 🥰🥰
Grace please do a video on Cheyenne buying her disgraced of a husband Zach a new Tesla 😮and taking him on lavish vacations
Totally agree ❤
Why is amber even on teen m9n???? She don’t even have her kids!!!! There both with there dads!!! Plus the whole domestic violence from her!!
Every time this girl appears is when she turns up with some different man!!!
It’s not worth doing the IVF. Why is he pushing it.
I have to skip these scenes
MacKenzie is Type I diabetic. That can be very difficult to control. I had a friend i knew since 7th grade that passed away from complications of Type I Diabetes
I just don’t like how Gary talks negatively about Amber in front of his daughter this is why she’s seems so negative towards her mom Gary talks to her like she’s an adult he should always speak highly of Amber I’m from if his daughter IJS her attitude towards her mom is nasty I blame Gary & his wife
Unfortunately teenagers have their own minds and opinions. I always speak highly of my child’s father in front of them and every single time they tell me to just stop, they have eyes and ears and they can see what the other parent is… at some point u just gotta be honest in a way that’s appropriate for them. Sadly amber has put her kids thru the most and they lived it. We only see hits and pieces…
Gary has always talked positively about Amber to Leah but Amber’s put them all through hell. It’s only lately that he’s not sticking up for her. He was pushing Leah to have a relationship with Amber but Amber doesn’t respond. So, Leah’s old enough to know what her egg donor really is! Amber’s a complete loser.
The guy MacKenzie is with(I can't spell his name lol) is screaming red flags with him pushing her to have a child for him knowing how risky it is baffles the ever living eff out of me. Sure he is a nice guy, but the way he is handling the situation is screaming "selfish". He should respect her/love her enough to respect her choices, especially if it's going to put her life in jepaody. I had 2 healthy pregnancies and they are teenagers now and I definitely wouldn't want anymore children now. I just don't understand why someone would even consider taking a chance knowing the risks...smh.
Agreed. Mackenzie’s IVF journey sounds so sad and scary 😭
They are not even married. He's a gold digger like Cheyenne's second baby daddy. He wants a trap baby
She needs to run ! I don’t trust him
Idk jade segments are kinda boring ….seems like a repeat again
Yessss… Same storyline
And back in July, Ryan failed to showed up to court. Regarding his 2 children.
The big gulp cup must have been in her items bag after being released atp
That still shot of Mackenzie is wild 😂
😂😂😂😂
Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, the type that Mackenzie has, so diet and exercise help manage the symptoms but she will always have to be so very careful. Her body just doesn’t produce insulin correctly, and can cause her to feel sick, fevers, have the depression symptoms she has etc. it causes a lot more than people realize. She does amazing at managing it with her diet and exercise but I hate this man trying to force her to have another baby. I’m sorry, I would never be with a man that would want me to suffer like that. That’s so selfish and I wish she would see how he doesn’t seem to care about her at all, she has kids already and if he loved her for real, he would take them in as his own as well when they married. He gives me weird vibes, seems he may be after money and “fame”
She is beautiful, she needs to get rid of that dusty, selfish jerk!
I swear Mackenzie said she had her tubes tied so why ivf before reversal ? I think its a whole fake storyline...
I cackled when I saw that cup in Kristy’s hand. 😂
Amber irks my nerves b/c she comes into these scenes as if no time has passed and Leah is supposed to just go with the program. I’m glad she’s not going along with Amber and her bs though. I think it’s easier to say cut your parent off than it is to actually do it. I agree with you, but I won’t judge her b/c I’ve never been there.
I’m sorry but I can’t stand Jade. I don’t like any of the newer moms.
I'm Proud of Leaha
Mac is Type 1 diabetic, her body just doesnt produce insulin effectively. Type 2 is more related to lifetsyle, diet, exercise and also pregnancy.. Both can be hard to control but type one is notably harder.
Poor girl 😪😪 btw you are absolutely stunning in purple! That colour was made for you!!
It’s easier said than done to cut off your parent who is in active addiction. Especially if it’s all you’ve known your entire life. There is that little kid still occupying space inside your heart desperately trying to be enough for their parents. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you can’t really speak on it.
From what I’ve seen, Amber isn’t capable of having a relationship with someone, where she’s not the victim or center of attention.
Im convinced the only reason Amber even tries to have a “relationship” with Leah is only to get stay close to Gary. Which is terrible
Why go with her parents when jade has all the money
So shameless 😭😭😭 Big Gulp really sees Jade as a mother figure 😢😢
Diabetic here. It’s constant roller coaster. Every day is different. She lives healthier than me. But she could use a cgm and Omnipod to help with monitoring and insulin treatment. She’s not hurting for money so these devices should be a given at this point if you want to take it seriously.
Mackenzie has type 1 I believe and not type 2 which is what people usually refer to and know more of when discussing diabetes. Diabetes type 2 is easier to manage in general but can obviously get out of control too.
