Catelynn & Tyler Talk to Nova About Carly’s Birthday | Teen Mom OG

[@bbrriiaannaa]

I love how open and honest they are with Nova. You can tell it helps her developmentally, she asks questions most kids her age don’t think about. Her thought process is just amazing for her age.

[@watchinvidzwatchinvidz7691]

She is so smart & sweet. I hope when Carly is 18 they can get to do all the sister stuff they missed out on.

[@Quyllur1]

I agree. She’s very well spoken. 💕

[@jarricah7920]

No most kids her age are just as inquisitive

[@trevie7589]

​@@watchinvidzwatchinvidz7691 Carly more than likely isn't going to see her as a "sister". Just because they're related doesn't mean they're family. Her family raised her.

When she asked "where you proud of my mom?" Oh my heart!!!!! I can see Cates pain....

Novalee’s thought process is incredible for someone born in 2015. I could tell Catelynn was getting a teeny tiny bit emotional. I respect the hell out of Catelynn & Tyler admitting they didn’t make smart decisions by getting pregnant as teens. I like how Novalee’s understanding.

[@JessDiann]

That got me. You could see her choking up. It Has to be emotional to know that your daughters aren’t growing up together. But they made a decision that was right for them at the time.

It’s not surprising how mature she is. Cate and Ty are so good with her and talk to her like she’s part of the conversation rather than babying her. Such a wholesome moment!

you can tell Cate got emotional by her facial expressions when Nova started getting more into depth about adoption. Cate and Ty are doing an amazing job with their kids. I pray for healing on Cate because you can tell she still regrets letting go of Carly

[@justanotherhuman8592]

I sensed a bit of a dig at tye when she said she was ready to have children young. But it was a lovely moment. They're very good wth their communication and that's so important. ❤️

[@mandeeg4259]

It's heartbreaking to see 💔 I really believe if they'd known the show was going to continue and they were going to be financially stable they wouldn't have let her go!

[@keremc1]

I can see the pain in Caitlyns face. This is a woman living with regret. I know she is praying for Carley to reach 18 and reach out on her own. I pray God gives her another chance with her daughter.

[@anicholeg2668]

Definitely a pain she’ll always hold close, I sure do feel for them both I can’t even imagine! I hope she does reach out at 18 and they get to start their own special relationship.

[@rmarie6764]

I feel like as kids attempting this on their own, because I know they faced a lot of push back from the "adults" in their lives, they did the best the could with the situation they were in. But I know B&T are probably pushing the semi open part to being dang near closed. They should have had better guidance on that end of things. They've done amazing for themselves and I'm so happy for them.

[@keremc1]

@@rmarie6764 yes. Brandon and Teresa has been unreasonable to me. I saw an episode whixh suggests to me that they didn't fully understand the repercussions of what they were signing. I pray for her sake her daughter is interested in bonding with them as she grows.

[@rainstorm571]

@@keremc1 I mean regardless if they are unreasonable, the adoption was never a mistake and it’s difficult for the parents to have the bio parents so heavily involved especially when the bio parents are on a reality tv show

[@SationalCyn]

It's crazy too that in only 6 more years things could really change in a good or bad way. She will be 18 and can decide for herself what kind of relationship she wants to have with her bio family

[@memye288]

@@SationalCyn I was thinking the same thing! She could end up reaching out and reuniting with them, which would be awesome. It seems like in the healthiest situations, the adoptive parents support children when they express a desire to meet their bio families. Hopefully Carly's parents do that!

@@SationalCyn yes hopefully that will happen she will actually or should I say she have that right when she become 18

[@SationalCyn]

@@memye288 I hope so. But even if they don't, she will be an adult so they can't stop her. The good thing here is that the whole journey has been documented. She can see the story and how much Cate and Tyler love her and tried to maintain contact.

1.Carly has a stable consistent family of her own, which is something Catelyn and Tyler have failed to provide for their children. 2. Do not idolise theese birthday funerals for Carly. Dawn has said multiple times they don't send Carly birthday cards or gifts.

@@Louisiana666 Clearly. Did you hear what the hell catelyn said. "God gave us a clone of Carly"...... Nova isn't even her own person she's an extension of Carly. Nova self identity shouldn't be aligned with her missing sibling her parents are constantly grieving.

[@marcypoe8552]

I have a strong feeling that when Carly is about 15-16 she will be the one to start requesting more interactions with her baby sisters, and her bio-parents. She will want a taste of a different experience as well, which does not hurt at all. I hope they all get to be reunited soon.

[@angelawilliams7548]

This was an amazing conversation. Ive watched these two struggle over the years with the adaption and now there able to explain it to Nova and feel good about it. I’m very proud of them. I wish MTV would show more of this because these are moments that define the growth in the teen parents.
