Now, all parents can agree that raising a child is hard.
It requires a ton of responsibility and it most certainly is the challenge of a lifetime.
Of course, the sleepless nights, the exhaustion, and the hard work are totally worth it…
Because our children mean the entire world to us!
This means that the thought of anything happening to them is unbearable…
And although we do everything in our power to keep them safe, things can sometimes go wrong.
We can literally take our eyes off our kids for 3 seconds when out in public…
And the worst thing imaginable is them disappearing or being taken by a stranger.
And there are other important things all parents want to do to keep their children safe.
But sometimes parents don’t make the best decisions…
This has recently been the case for Teen Mom star Catelynn Lowell.
Lowell has been criticized by fans for her decision to leave her 3 daughters in the care of her mum, April Brockmiller.
According to The Mirror, the MTV star asked Brockmiller to babysit her children, Novalee, Vaeda, and Rya, while she accompanied her husband Tyler Baltierra to a hospital appointment to get a vasectomy.
In the latest episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Lowell’s friend Amber asked the couple who would be watching their children, with Lowell reluctantly admitting her mum would babysit.
“I asked my mom to come and sit here,” she said before she explained her concerns regarding Brockmiller’s drinking habits.
“I was telling Ty, ‘Well, if she drove here and watched them, she wouldn’t be drinking because she won’t drink and drive,” Lowell added.
“I’m in this moment in my life where I know it’s kind of hard to trust her not to drink with my kids around, really,” Lowell admitted.
Amber then questioned Lowell’s decision but the mom-of-three said she also needed to have a conversation with her mum about her drinking.
“I want to have the conversation with her. I don’t want to be around her when she drinks, and I need to stick to that, and I don’t want you drinking around my kids when you have them,” she said.
However, some viewers have been concerned by Lowell’s decision, as one person tweeted: “April is making typical excuses for someone not making good choices. Oh yeah, I was drinking for a couple of weeks more than normal but it’s stopped.”
Another said: “So Cate admitted that she knows April has drunk while watching the kids at least once and is still using her as a babysitter. Yikes.”
