They couldnt have gotten fake babies?They have ones that have computer chips in them and it tells you all the interactions, I feel sorry for those kids. I
want to know who would offer their kids up to these people? scary.

My kids had to have those awful robot babies in junior high. They had to hand them back in without killing them to pass. It was tough. Especially when you get
one that's supposed to be a crack baby, or the damn key doesn't work. They do a computer check on them to see how long it took to respond to crying. I
assumed I'd never be a grandmother after those weekends.

They could have gotten a fake baby but I htink for this show they are going to give the people babies of varying ages. I dont think I would offer these people
a infant but I would gladly give them a toddler. It would be pretty hard to do anyhting to hurt them while people are watching.

Not to worry there will be a nanny with the couples and the parents of the kids will be watching on a monitor from another room The couples will have a baby for 3 days, then a toddler for 3, next a pre-teen and finally a teen. Sounds interesting. |

This show has been taken off NBC's schedule for now and will replace it with "My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad."

Those 17 girls in Massachusettes should have seen something like this show.

Nothing really prepares you for being a real parent though. I remember babysitting and doing the home-ec egg baby thing and I still loved babies. Not enough to
have a pact w/some friends and get knocked up. Nooooo I was so scared of that!

True - especially after the MA teen pregnancy pact story broke - are you kidding me?! depending on the actual educational value of the show it might not hurt
to start showing it in sex ed or parenting classes that high schools have. It's just scary when a teenage girl needs to use motherhood as a personal
identifier

i'd never give my baby up to a reality show. i don't care what precautions were set up.
but say i made that unwise choice? the first time i heard my baby referred to as "it"? as in "let it cry?" $#@#%... |

Cute babies though, especially the swirl baby and the baby girl whose mother confronted the boy about calling "it."

That one kid is deliciously evil going on about how he's pumped his master plan to make his girl hate babies is working.

I'm suprised they didn't show more of the girl who refused to wear the belly with the baby. I mean, if she can't wear a fake belly you'd think
she'd have a complete mental breakdown when taking care of a baby.

"refused to wear the belly with the baby" for one day. i've never been pregnant (dude), but it seems to me, wearing a "thing" for "one" day couldn't be all that hard. but... maybe i am wrong. maybe this being pregnant is a walk in the park for women, and we just make too much about how difficult this natural and ever present task is for women. pfffttt... yeah, that's probably it... |

I'm just halfway through this thing and I had to come in here and rant about the girl who won't wear the belly. She's sitting there with her big
beefy arms hanging out and talking about how the belly thing made her feel fat. She should take a look at her arms in a tank top, she's no stick figure.
Sheesh. If she can't do it for a day, she can't be pregnant. Being pregnant SUCKS and she's nowhere near ready. But of course I'm sure she
won't see that reality staring her in the face.
Thanks.. feel better now. |

this show is exactly what we all thought it would be.
a bunch of dudes that want no part of this experience. at all. and a bunch of chicks that thought this would be so cool but then mostly decided to fold their arms and say they don't want to deal with "it". welcome to the world of having babies. although, i did love that one "stay at home" dad dude that seemed just so calm about the whole thing. hats off to you, motherfucker. you get it. and your baby was cool too. see? something to be learned from each and every shock show... |

The girl that wouldn't wear the baby belly....what an ass. Her boyfriend ought to immeadiately dump her for someone that has character. I don't
care that he laughed at her in a baby suit, her fit was classic spoiled brat. And kudos to him for having the guts to do what she couldn't do---I mean he
wore the belly to a grocery store for crying out loud.

girlfriend to go and rest. I thought that was sweet of him, but I couldn't believe chickie actually went to take a nap and left him to do it all. I mean,
it's not like she was really pregnant and needed to get off her feet. She could have at least sat there and I don't know...read him the
instructions...kept him company...something.
