Being a teen mom is not a soup opera with a running script where you can write and rewrite characters. you can write in; Scene " and the baby was silent " no the baby will scream when it wants to and teen mom has to have the patience to sit, pat and sooth that baby until it's ready to calm down, and many times it's not in scene 2, 3,or 4 . In all, if the media is going to put it out there, put it all out there.
