Baby Borrowers

So, I don't know if most of you are aware of that reality show on nbc, The Baby Borrowers. Its about a group of teen (18 or 19) year old couples, who are in serious relationships, want to get married and have kids right away. They "borrow" kids ranging from infant, toddler, preteen, teen and senior citizens. I originally thought it looked completely ridiculous, but after watching a couple episodes, I have been surprised that I have found it interesting. I was also surprised how quickly the couples had melt downs, during the teenager challenge, a couple of the teens got into full grown shouting matches, completely insulting each other. I mean, geez, that was only after a couple of weeks of the experiment!
I am not sure how effective it will be to other teenagers watching, if it will change their minds about having kids so young, but at least I think it has changed the minds of all the teen couples, so that is something. Anyways, I just found it interesting, and thought I would mention it.
