In its earliest years on the air, the Teen Mom franchise highlighted the many perlis of becoming pregnant at a young age.
Of course, one of the big ones was not immediately evident to the show's young stars:
Namely, the fact that when you have a kid with someone, you're stuck with them for life.
Take Chelsea Houska and Adam Lind, for example.
The former couple has been broken up for years, and these days, Chelsea is happily married to Cole DeBoer.
But because they have a child together, Chelsea and Adam are bonded for life, a set of circumstances that Houska griped about on Tuesday night's Teen Mom 2 reunion special.
Taka a look:
1. It Never Ends
Chelsea Houska has been broken up with Adam Lind for several years. But because the two of them have a child together, he'll always be a part of her life.
2. Stuck In the Middle
Chelsea and Adam are parents to 9-year-old Aubree, and while Lind has been absent throughout much of the girl's life, he still manages to be a thorn in Houska's side.
3. Family Ties
On the most recent season of Teen Mom 2, Houska clashed with Adam's mom, who complained that she doesn't get to see Aubree enough.
4. Safety Precautions
Currently, Adam is only permitted to see his daughter at school events or during supervised visits at a state-run location.
5. A Mile-Long Rap Sheet
This is a necessary precaution resulting from Lind's many, many run-ins with the law, several of which have landed him behind bars.
6. Absentee Adam
As longtime TM2 viewers are aware, Lind has often failed to set up visits with Aubree, or to show up for visits once they're scheduled.
