The Teen Mom parents are far from perfect, but sometimes their parenting decisions border on just plain bad. It's easy to judge when someone's entire life is filmed for entertainment, but sometimes a line has to be drawn about what is acceptable and not.
Take a look at all the missteps, blunders, and just plain bad choices the Teen Mom moms and dads have made.
Kailyn Lowry
Probably the most notorious "bad" mom starts off the list. She is vocally anti-vaccination, most recently comparing those who vaccinate their children to Nazis.
Briana DeJesus
Briana doesn't believe in giving her kids the flu shot! She said she is pro-vaccination (thankfully), but has angered plenty of fans because of her stance on the flu shot.
Chelsea Houska
Chelsea Houska was slammed for not taking her daughter's mental health seriously. Chelsea struggles with anxiety, but when Aubree asked to go to therapy with her mother, Chelsea and Cole's reaction was a little less than sensitive.
Mackenzie McKee
Mackenzie was put on blast for sharing a video of her son Gannon riding a bronco. He was not wearing a helmet and came dangerously close to the railing. Mackenzie seemed unphased by the criticism, but even if you're going to let your kids participate in a dangerous sport, at least make sure they're as protected as possible.
Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry
Fans were livid when they found out Kailyn and Leah left their children alone on the beach in Hawaii with Kailyn's baby daddy, Chris Lopez. He was left responsible for five kids at the ocean, which alone seems like more than enough work for one person.
Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra
Catelynn and Tyler came under fire after they shared a photo of their daughter riding a horse with an ill-fitting helmet. Their daughter was also riding bareback, which is not the safest option for a small child.
Briana DeJesus (again)
Briana was also shamed for allowing her youngest daughter to drink coffee. This sparked a debate about whether or not coffee was any different than soda.
Leah Messer
Leah Messer upset fans around the world when she shared a photo of her daughter on Halloween. They argued Ariana Grande was too risque of a costume for such a young girl!
Chris Lopez
Chris Lopez upset plenty of people when he went live on Instagram...while his son was in the bathtub!
Courtland Rogers
Jenelle's ex let it slip that his child was born with methamphetamine in his system. He went on a rant about wanting a divorce from his wife and thought it was appalling that she was able to keep the kids.
