Maci Bookout has been within the information rather a lot recently due to some revealing interviews the MTV star has given whereas selling the present season of Teen Mother: The Subsequent Chapter.
In lots of of those interviews, Maci has mentioned her kids, particularly her eldest, 13-year-old Bentley.
Bookout just lately stunned some followers by admitting that she has no contact with Bentley’s father, Ryan Edwards, who apparently sees little or no of his son.
Thankfully, Bentley has an in depth relationship together with his mom, who doesn’t draw back from talking actually in regards to the selections she made when she wasn’t a lot older than he’s now.
“I really feel just like the authenticity of our present within the early days, it’s sort of unmatched,” Maci mentioned in latest interview with Web page Six (through The Ashley’s Actuality Roundup).
“And I really feel prefer it’s an amazing, actual, uncooked, human instance of, ‘Hey, that is life and this why each determination you make issues.’”
So how does Maci really feel about watching the present along with her son now that he’s a teen himself?
Properly, it appears the subject material hits residence tougher than ever as her eldest approaches highschool age.
“Clearly, I used to be a teen mother. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized increasingly I used to be a child having a child and was a child elevating a child,” she mentioned.
“I believe with Bentley getting so near 16, it actually simply places that into an entire sort of totally different perspective of, ‘Yeah, you had been a child having a child,’” Bookout continued.
“He’s an amazing child … Bentley’s mature and he’s very sensible past his years and nonetheless, I’m like, ‘There’s no means [he can be a parent now].’”
On a latest episode of Subsequent Chapter, Maci was requested by her mom how she plans to stop Bentley from turning into a teen guardian himself.
Fairly sensibly, Bookout merely said that she simply hopes her will be taught from her instance and use safety when the time comes
Properly, we suppose watching early episodes of the 16 Pregnant/Teen Mother franchise would encourage any child to make use of safety.
Then once more, Maci made a profession out of getting knocked up in highschool, and at 31, she’s by no means needed to work an actual job in her life.
It’s good that she’s speaking to her children about turning into a mother whereas she was nonetheless in her teenagers.
However hopefully she glosses over the half about how they’d probably be dwelling in a a lot smaller home if she had waited till her twenties!
We child, after all.
We’re certain Maci’s conversations with Bentley are frank and simple.
Apart from, if she ever desires to discourage the child from turning into a younger dad, she will be able to simply level at his father and say, “You don’t wish to find yourself like THAT, do you?!”
