I can't with them.

Has anyone seen Too Young to Marry? on Oxygen network?

Oh god. The train wreck.

Here is one of my favorite snippets:

This couple get's money from his father (due to the father's service in the military), and the parents are withholding the money until the unemployed son (the too-young fiancé) finds a job. The girlfriend/fiance tells the camera:

"I can't believe that they're taking away the money. We barely have enough to pay for the wedding and we're struggling. We don't have jobs. I don't know what we're going to do."

Um... get a job?

I just really can't handle the entitlement that these kids (KIDS, this girl was 17 and most of them need parental consent to get married since they're mostly too young to legally do it alone).

Blech.

emmaaa

I have not heard of this show!

That sounds ridiculous!

novella1186

I watched an episode once and it was just too much for me. It was like the couple just wanted to get dressed up in fancy clothes and sleep in the same bed without their parents interfering, so marriage was the answer. 

Go to prom and rent a fucking shady hotel room like every other teen.

I will have to check this show out. 

RE: entitlement  We have a factory worker who is 22. Apparently he closed his bank account and never informed us. So there was an issue when the payroll company tried to direct deposit his paycheck on Friday. Accounting told him it would be a few days before they could replace the check, since it was still somehow in limbo. So his mom showed up here yesterday to yell at everyone for "withholding his paycheck". Yeah.

I havent seen this particular show but I have seen "My Teenage Wedding" and it's kind of the same.  Teenage drama crossed with Bridezillas.  

"OMG my MOH is such a BITCH because we couldn't get tattoos together.  I hate her."

30 seconds later...

"Yeah we're better.  She showed up to the wedding so that's cool."

Hahaha. YES.

This one couple was really whiney about how one of them wanted a $1000 wedding band and the other was working three jobs and said that he couldn't afford it. Drama Queen Mode: ENABLED. And then the next day it's all ok because he bought OMG THE BEST CHOCOLATE EVER.

But even the parents seem really whiney in many of the cases. Oh boo hop I don't want you to get married. This one mom is legitimately sobbing outside of the church (after getting kicked out due to running in and trying to stop the wedding).

I get that there is family drama like that, but it is SO unrelate-able to me and just boggles my mind how anyone can react like that.

I mean, I get that teenagers can be young and stupid, but let them make their own mistakes (not like there's much choice either way though anyway!).

JennyColada

OH GOD:

"Today is a big day. It's six weeks until our wedding and we are going with my mom to pick out our invitations and we still need to find a venue."

WHAT.

But if they are kids and the parents have to give consent then why the hell did the Mom give consent if she doesn't want her underage child getting married?

It turned out that they drove to another state (since they were in a state where you had to be 21 and they were 18) and got married there. So really it was just a PPD.

"It's really unfair that my dad took away the money because I have a house now and want to support my family and my wife." -from the kid in my OP. Yes, you not having a job has nothing to do with supporting your family. Your dad is totally unfair. Totes.

Entitlement is gross.

I'm watching Sandwich Paradise 3 on the Travel channel.

They are showing a fried chicken sandwich place in Oakland.  One girl just said "I'm actually a vegetarian, but I eat this sandwich".

I do not think vegetarian means what you think it means.

"You know who seems to be really obsessed with meat? Vegetarians. For people that don't like meat, they seems to eat a lot of vegetables that are mashed up and shaped to look like meat: 'I find meat repulsive. I'll have a veggie burger with fake bacon, and can you serve it to me dressed like a cow? I don't like meat, I just like to call Meat late at night and hang up. Let's drive by Meat's house. Does Meat ever ask about me? I don't care!' " -Jim Gaffigan.

I love when people are like "I'm a vegetarian, but I eat fish." 

Like, ok, so you're actually a pescetarian. Fish is also meat, btw.

Ok, so don't sign the paperwork to allow the marriage to take place?

How does that even work?  Because in PA your marriage license is only valid in PA, and I don't think I can get an out of state marriage license.

Simple.  You drive to the other state, get a license and get married in that state. Your marriage is valid in your home state.

No, like, they got married in AK and did the paperwork in AK but then drove back to LA to have their "wedding" (aka: they were already married before saying their vows and dressing up).

Basically they just propagated the stereotypes of everything wrong with young weddings.

Reality TV shows make me feel good about my life and my decisions.

I think this show was created to a never ending cash cow. The follow-up show? Too Young for Divorce. Then Too Young to Be Remarried. 

Just like Bridezillas gave birth to Marriage Bootcamp.

My FI is one of those.  I'm like "stop telling people you're a vegetarian, you eat things that are alive.  Now stop telling me how smart an octopus is because they are delicious and I will continue to eat them."

Ooooh lord... not that I have anything against vegetarians in general because what you eat is up to you and none of my business, but recently a co-worker's bizarro world girlfriend came to a work function. She made an issue of being a vegetarian (I don't see the need to tell everybody your special dietary needs... I'm on Weight Watchers. I don't need to announce it. I'll just eat what I feel is best for me in that moment). So just to make conversation, I asked if her choice to be a vegetarian is based more on health reasons or ethical reasons or both or....?? She honestly didn't seem to know. It took her a couple of minutes to come up with the answer "I just really like cows. Like I just think cows are so cute." I said "I agree. Have you ever seen red highland cattle? What beautiful animals. TASTE DELICIOUS TOO!!!! ESPECIALLY when they are raised ethically and treated well on a small family farm. Then I see no reason to not eat them if they've led a really good life and were killed humanely." It was like I was speaking French. Very odd.

I took fucking wedding pictures with a chicken because I think they are so adorable.

It doesn't stop me jumping on the chance to shovel nuggets into my pie-hole.

I thought we had to show proof of residence to get our license?  I may be confused.
