'Teen Mom 2', getting my tubes tied & parenting 7 kids w/ Kailyn Lowry | Ep. 84

[@melaniegee]

5:47 When Matt asked Kail if she felt like the public school system failed her in sex education- Kail said “I feel like parenting was failed”. I respect this so much! It is 100% up to the parents to educate their children.

[@DaniANDNoe]

But when we leave it up to parents it is very common for this outcome? so why would we not try to fill a need in society instead of continuing this to persist from neglectful parents??

[@monicageller226]

You’re absolutely correct parents are responsible for their child’s upbringing not the government. Unfortunately many are not equipped to raise them which is why our society is in decline because the government will push their agenda on to the kids as they have and continue to do.

[@kimberlychristmas-lee3868]

It is also a public health issue

[@melaniegee]

@@DaniANDNoe because those same neglectful parents will be the ones trying to sue the school, teacher and whoever they can sue because the teacher taught it in a way they don’t approve of. It’s taught in schools, but who’s to say it’s understood. So many kids are embarrassed in that class. They won’t ask questions, etc. So what they learn is limited. Parents need to step up.

[@DaniANDNoe]

@@melaniegee we all know parents need to step up but obviously it’s. Not. Happening. Some type of intervention needs to occur!

[@sherriitsamea3476]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. That woman isn’t scared of ANYTHING!! Even if you don’t agree with her past, you just have to respect her drive. I’m floored by where she is in life vs where she came from. It’s almost unfathomable what she’s accomplished,especially with her history & all of those children. And I love her honesty. It’s such a breath of fresh air. Keep going Kailyn 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ItsBrit]

Exactly, compare her with other members of the original show, there's no denying shes made it work and made the best of it for her and her children. No one can take that from her!

[@debbiejansen1178]

She isn't afraid of anything. That is a problem.

[@yvonne8786]

She has 4 baby daddies!!! Wtf is wrong with people??? That's not a flex and she shouldn't be a role model

@@yvonne8786 and mary Magdalene was a prostitute, Paul was a pharisee of pharisees. God used extra marital affairs (David and Bathsheba) and more. Moral of the story .. 1. Its not your place to Judge, or decide who is worthy or not Amd 2. someone with 4 baby daddy's and a crap upbringing is exactly who I want my kids to see. 9 times out of 10 if thats followed up with actual parenting and guidance, they will learn what not to do instead of following in their foot steps.

I genuinely think people don’t like her because of how REAL she is. She isn’t this cookie cutter parent/influencer and we need more of that!

Reality shows are for the drama

[@amorrissey9264]

...😂 out of all the girls at the time, she was going to school, isaac was a jerk, her mom gave 0 support, she was never the messy bad decision party teen like some of the rest. Honestly though, I really only ever watched the season she was in, and caught tabloids and clips of all the rest, but I don't remember Kailyn ever being painted as the unresponsible one, just bitchy lol

[@KmvS86]

She has 4 baby daddies and 7 kids. That’s being messy on national television

[@UnstoppableMorgan]

14:20 😂 I can refresh your memory! lol I watched that show religiously when it was first on tv. So what happened was, Kail your mom was clearly not taking care of you and Joes mom (Joe is the father of Kail’s first son) turned into momma bear over you. She was a person you could trust and lean on. Joes mom would defend you during fights with Joe even. After your mom countlessly didn’t show up for you Joes mom decided that it would be best if you permanently lived with them. ❤ and then Joes mom turned on you when ya’ll broke up. That was so sad to see! You have definitely come far Kail! Great job!!

She did turn on Kail but I think they all felt so betrayed when kail started dating that kid (Jordan I think?).

@@loritanner4478 I'm happy to hear that. I wish I could get rid of the torment I've live with. I saw things that no child should ever have to see that are etched in my mind forever. My Mom was 46 when the drink ended it for her.

[@emtwr]

You can heal from that trauma, rather than being in the role of a victim forever. I don’t mean that in a mean way, Al-Anon and other support systems are available to help you live life and have freedom from your past

[@bethechange8889]

​@@emtwryou just don't know without living it,like any other awful childhood. I would say having abusive & or alcoholic parents it makes one feel different from everyone not necessarily a victim.

[@emexplorer1983]

It definitely gives you PTSD from being raised with an abuser who doesn't love you only loves alcohol and drugs

[@carolinelily7775]

So grateful to hear other women with an alcoholic parent finding strength in setting boundaries with them!! I’m almost 4 years no-contact with my dad and it is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself and my recovery, but there are also the really hard days like Kailyn mentioned. At any age it can feel very isolating and I think for those able to talk about their experiences, it can really help those who aren’t ready to share yet. Thanks Matt and Abby for having this incredible woman on your show!

[@Sailingmomma]

Truth. I have always wanted to write a book about growing up with an alcoholic parent. It is always hush, hush and I don't know why.

[@JuliaKulwik]

What a wonderful pod cast this was. I agree with Kailyn on so many things, except med free deliveries. My shortest was 30 hours. I used to tell kids don't ask unless you want to know. They got the correct answer with the correct vocabulary. They still always asked. Just wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed this time. Blessings from Pittsburgh

[@SaraSquared88]

Kailyn is so relatable. So many people, including me, grow up in households with addicted/depressed/absent parents with no other adults to step in. I got pregnant at 18 in 2006 and was in a pretty helpless place but like Kail, I used my past as drive and was able to do pretty well for myself and my child, who is now 17! I remember watching Kailyn’s first episode and thinking “she’s gonna make it” because I saw in her the resiliency needed to fight against the stats that were against her. Just need to say congrats to all the girlies, including Kail, who’ve made it out 🤍 we CAN do big things ON OUR OWN!

[@nicoleclements2955]

She's 100% real, that's what I like about her. My 10yo& 4yo knows the exact words of body parts. They both got to see our 3rd baby be born at a birthing center. My 10yo has slowly been asking questions about sex & his body since he's been hearing it from kids at school. I'm with Kail when she said, she wants her kids to hear it from her then from other kids.

[@melaniegee]

Awesome episode!! My ADHD (or maybe FOMO) prevents me from ever listening to a whole show, podcast, etc. but I listened to all of this and loved it! I hate that MTV never really showed us this side of Kail. It would have been awesome to know that she had so much drive, especially knowing that she had a hard life in her early years. I’m very happy for her. And y’all did a good job interviewing her!

[@samanthatempleton2145]

I have always loved and applauded Kail. You’re right, they didn’t show enough of your backstory, however as a child of addicts myself in which I also became a teen mother…I saw the hurt and the pain. I recognized the strength and adversity that you had as a young woman. I will always look up to you for that because you showed me that my life wasn’t over and that I could do it too even if I was alone. My babygirl is 11 now and I just bought a house and graduated with my bachelors too ❤ Keep grinding Kail!

[@maryrosegutierrez3116]

When you have been a teen parent, you TALK TO YOUR KIDS about all that stuff. It just comes with the territory to make those conversations "normal". Talking about drugs, sex, and relationships/friends is just easy for me to talk to my kids about and I don't know what it would have been like if I had kids later in life

[@its_ghost_btw_997]

I was 21 when I had my first n only child but I talk to him openly about sex,drugs,alcohol & the consequences of choosing to partake in those activities.

My husband and I are recovering heroin addicts. Going on 7 years now, we own a home, have fancy vehicles, have three little girls, number three will be here Oct 1st. And my husband and I worry constantly about if they will choose a path of addiction. I especially with our oldest. She is 4 and already has soooo many addict tendencies. It’s so scary to think about and then to think how our parents felt.

[@melissablais6030]

My husband and I have had to talk to each of our kids as they've gotten older about addiction. My fil was an alcoholic and there's also alcohol addiction on my side of the family. We had to make them aware that addiction can be genetic so they need to be aware of it. Likely something that you'll want to speak to your girls about when they get older, not to scare them, but to make them aware. That's awesome that you and your husband were able to both quit and build a successful life together 😊

[@chayasuriemargareten2130]

@@Beepbopboop19 you definitely have to be ready for it, and really dedicate a huge chunk of your life towards your children But if 3 kids need attention, you turn to the one who can handle this best and say, 'I'd love to hear what happened today, but it's a bit hectic right now. why don't you go do something to relax or chill, and we'll talk soon, is that ok?" even if the kid doesn't love hearing this right then, it teaches him or her a super valuable lesson in 1-patience, and and 2-learning to self regulate emotions when you don't have someone to talk to. These are incredible teaching moments that many children in small families don't get, because their parents are at their beck and call all day.

Giving her upbringing and all the trauma she is fucken killing it and is doing so damn well with her children. People can talk and point fingers all they want like if we’ve never made mistakes before and one thing about her is that she owns on to her bad decisions and that’s the only way we learn and grow ❤ you go girl your so inspiring and love the outcome of you because things could have been worse.

[@emilyhubbard6312]

Aa a mom who also doesnt have a relationship with her mom, I can totally relate to Kail. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@Jswilk830]

I’ve always been a fan of Kail! She picked herself up dusted herself off and made a promise to herself that she would be successful! I can’t imagine doing under a microscope like she did! Congratulations Kail! You deserve the best!!! ❤

[@Santiaguera2009]

Omg!!! Love love kail, one of the best most resilient girls I have ever seen . So proud of her .

[@katherinemiebach1121]

Kail’s comment about parents not being best friends…yesss! 👏🏻 could not agree more!

[@Blue42kangaroo]

This interview was so refreshing! 🥰 She’s the best! Grew up watching her! And I hope she know she truly made such a positive impact in preventing teen pregnancy 💕

[@BrittHubbs]

I never really connected with Kail when she was on MTV but watching this, I’ve changed my mind about her. She’s hilarious, and I think we could be friends IRL. She’s so real and genuine! I loved this episode! Also, Matt and Abby are such good conversationalists! They are really engaged, and they know the right questions to ask. This was a very entertaining episode! Great work guys. Can you all be friends and start another podcast together? I’d totally watch it.

I have so much respect for her. She’s really honest. I love that she keeps it a 100 -always She said once she wanted to be the mom she never had and I love that ❤❤

[@catherineeubanks3084]

I loved this episode so much. I love Kail and have mad respect for how far she’s come in life and what a great mom she is

[@jenniferhead3064]

Abby, I feel like you are a fantastic interviewer. You are genuine and have almost an a-emotional approach that makes the person comfortable. Keep it up. I watched this because I love Teen Mom (guilty pleasure) and I’ve watched you two since Hawaii, so great combo for me! Love it you Midwesterners :))

[@JJH2025]

Kaitlyn, you did a great interview. I loved you in “16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom.” Keep telling your story to prevent young teenagers from becoming pregnant at sixteen!!! Love you! ❤

[@cheyennelambert6389]

I have such emotional connection to Kail. I am so happy you did this podcast so thank you!!! ❤

[@heavenlymorsels]

Wow this was one of my favourite podcasts - I am a single mom of four and went back to university at age 50 doing two degrees at the same time, working and had my 13 year old I was trying to raise as well back in 2017 - graduating in May of 2022 - though I feel I still have not reached my full potential and with fake flation still struggle financially on one income! Trying to diversify and have larger portfolio of income and investments is just coming to fruition now in my life at 57 and praying 🙏 it will work out! ❤ huge fan of Kail 😊 so inspiring!

[@SaraLoretta]

I have always loved Kail. She’s so headstrong and well spoken.

[@msotrfan1]

My friend and I used to have girl's night, and we would watch 16 and pregnant. I remember when her mom said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." When Kailyn was begging for time with her mom. I remember wishing I could have reached out and give her a hug.

[@nuttybarbiegirl]

That was my favorite podcast guest yet. Awesome chat!

[@gabbydavis6349]

I always love your podcasts but there was something about this episode that might just be top 10 worthy!

[@staceyburnett733]

Loved hearing from her! Absolutely one of my favorites to watch then and now. Thanks for featuring her 😊🎉❤

[@StephyRae83]

I absolutely LOVE Kail!!!!! She is super real and open and down to earth, unlike some of the other teen mom's. ❤

[@Coolcupcake013]

She’s the most articulate person from the teen mom franchise.

[@T-STARR]

I agree....

[@AreYouABadfishToo]

As she likes to point out, she is the only mum from the entire franchise that has a college degree.

[@alanagibson6703]

She seems like an incredible mom! Who is very self aware, willing to become better everyday. How amazing!!!

[@drmugg_]

Best episode. I grew up watching the show and being the same age as Kailyn I never understood the life choices she made at the time. I was young too but I wish the show did her more justice. Damn the life he had to survive before building her own. She probably wont ever see this comment but I applause you for turning your life around. Im so proud of you

[@kelseyDOD]

I like kail! Honestly, having a show focusing on teen pregnancy probably encourages it more than the opposite. If teens think they can be on a tv show it kind of glamorizes it

[@AshleyMeadows-b4f]

I grew up watching her and 8 was 15 and pregnant boo you deff made a difference. Keep it up. Much love ❤

[@madelinerose444]

This was one of the best episodes yet!

[@divaelizondo]

I'm a first-timer to your channel but I'm so glad I came across this because up until this episode of y'all's I saw kail as the girl from teen Mom still I'm so glad to see that she has evolved into such an amazing woman she's so inspiring like oh my God I feel so inspired by her story like I just want to get up and do something LOL like wow I literally haven't slept because I've been watching this and it's now 8:00 in the morning and I've been awake since yesterday 8:00 in the morning but this episode was amazing thank you guys

[@deanamoore8986]

Kail was always so sad she didn’t have a family to spend holidays with. Now she does! I’m happy for her!!!

[@Lisaaffeldt]

I LOVE Kail. So inspired by her story, her self awareness, her perseverance and empathy towards others.
