Season 2 Catch up!

Please forgive me!  I haven't blogged for the past couple of episodes and I apologize to those of you who are faithful readers.

Can you believe that there are only 2 more episodes to go?  Season 2 has flown by!  All in all, our family has been loving how the season has played out.  There's still more to come!

Last week, you witnessed Teryn and Chad dealing with marriage struggles, which everyone goes through and in the next couple of episodes, you'll see that everything works out fine.  I loved that Chad told Teryn, "Divorce is not an option."  I can say from experience that we give up on marriage too soon.  I did.  It's too late for me to go back, nor would I want to, but it's not too late for them.  What you weren't able to see on the show, are the issues they've been dealing with, but the bottom line is this.  Marriage is hard. And it takes hard work and dedication.  I'm so proud of how they fight for their marriage, each other and their daughter and future children!  Good stuff coming, so keep watching!

This week you witnessed one of those consequences of divorce.  I didn't think Kolby should be going to the beach with 2 other 16 year olds alone for a week, but Nikita allowed her to, since it was during her visitation with him.  I told him I didn't think it was a good idea for her to go without him or another adult, but his words were, "It's my decision to make."  So, he made it.  To this day, I still disagree with him on this parenting choice.  In no way will anyone convince me that three 16 year old girls should be at the beach, four hours from home, without adult supervision.  This never had anything to do with not trusting Kolby.  I trust her 100%.  It may not seem like it sometimes by what you see on the show, but I trust all my girls explicitly.  It had everything to do with her safety and the safety of the girls' she was with.

Thankfully, Kolby came home safe.  I was disappointed that Kolby knew I didn't feel her trip to the beach was a safe or good idea, yet went anyway.  But, I would have done the same thing she did, I'm sure.  If one parent says yes and another says no, I would have done what I wanted to as well.  I was angry with Nikita.  You just didn't see that conversation on camera.

All in all, everybody's safe.

Two more episodes to go, so be sure to be watching Wednesday night at 9/8c on Lifetime.
