I think some of Amber’s frustration is that she was not given much time off to handle her PPD whereas Cate did several long stints in treatment without cameras in her face. I can understand that, to a degree. But, Cate went to great lengths to get help, whereas we’ve all seen Amber take to her bed and complain. Though, I can understand why Amber doesn’t want to do a residential program—James is so little and she doesn’t want to be away from him. It’s a difficult situation. Amber needs to realize her ability to live well and not have to work a nine to five job is because of Teen Mom. If she quits, there goes her paycheck. I can’t see Andrew finding much production work in Indiana.
Also, if her PPD is bad, she needs to stop being on IG/Twitter. I think she may be tied as part of her contract though.
I think she should’ve really thought harder about signing on for a new season knowing her history with depression and PPD. She’s struggled every single season with bipolar and depression, and yet she keeps doing it without getting the extensive care she needs (unlike Cait who has gone away, done therapy, etc), and the martyr thing has gotten old.

I KNEW Steven didn't apply for Olga's visa. When he was so dead set on getting the baby's US passport I said to myself he probably never got the process started for Olga. I also felt that when he told her the baby got his US passport but should stay with her in Russia that he found out he couldn't take the baby without the mother/mother's permission.
I had a feeling Jay wasn't a stand up guy but I still feel for Ashely a little.
My biggest question for Colt/Larissa/Debbie is WHERE ARE THE CATS? I WANT MORE COOKIE DOUGH!
I don't think it is uncommon in the US for people to use their middle name (both my dad and brother do, and I know several kids who do) but the point is that TLC wanted them to use Richie for some reason (according to Steven) but they want him to go by Alex. Who knows!
in the beginning he said the name Richie was after his dad. But I thought his dad walked out on his family, which would make it seem unlikely. Maybe he did die, i can't remember i just know that it was his dad's name.
I think I am not saying what I am thinking clearly His name is Richie Alexander (or Richard Alexander, or however you spell Alexander). The name Richie is after his dad. TLC, according to Steven, had them use his first name, but in 'real' life they use his middle.

The confusion is why the kid is named Richie if Steven’s dad is a POS.

This is a logical question, but Steven is an idiot with an ego on a power trip :-)

I understand that part, I was responding because it seemed like my post made it seem like TLC told them to name him Richie.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, the whole thing is messed up and steven is a douche.

Yes, this. lol I could see TLC saying to call him that since steven made a big deal over naming him after his dad, which i still do not get. I love the name Alexander.

Steven is so fucking shady. She will need to watch out because when things go south for them, i could see him trying to keep the baby from her since the baby has dual citizenship. He is a jerk and has a nasty temper like the parents he laments all the time.
Jay is so young and yeah, i am not surprised. what i do not get about these couples, is you are marrying a person you have spent little time with and when you have it has basically been a vacation so you have not been tested with life's ups and downs and stressors.
Do we know Steven’s full backstory? Maybe he had two dads (like a bio dad and a stepdad), one died and the other left them, and Richie is the one who wasn’t a POS? I could see a situation where the bio dad died and stepdad was a POS, or the other way around.
