Baby Borrowers

I got to watch a couple of episodes of Baby Borrowers. I think the premise is great. Let’s give teen considering having a child the opportunity to understand the full extent of that decision.

A kind of try before you buy.

Several teen couples make a commitment to get together and spend a day or so with someone else’s baby. They then get a turn with a toddler, a school age child, a teen and an elderly person.

One of the first things required was for the girls to put on a pregnancy belly. One girl wouldn’t wear it for the allotted time. I think she should have been kicked off the island so to speak. You don’t get to take off a pregnancy, unless you get an abortion.

But really even though these kids are getting to taste what it would be like. Let’s be real the type of jobs they would be able to obtain would not pay for the houses, cars, and baby equipment they get to use in the show.

They’d be able to get minimum wage jobs that might pay for a one bedroom apartment. Would their income, savings and or credit get them anything better than a used car?

And for those watching? Will those kids gain some wisdom or will they think, well I’m different. I could handle it?

Something to think about..
