Stop the presses: Someone involved in the Teen Mom franchise who is actually sane has a blog. And it’s AWESOME.
Remember Amber Portwood’s brother Shawn? The one that we met in the second episode of the current season of Teen Mom? Amber and Gary took Leah on a disastrous vacation to a water park, and they went with Shawn, his girlfriend, and their two kids. Over the course of the trip, it became apparent that Shawn Portwood is quite possibly the only member of that family who has his shit together. When Amber bitched about how awful the car ride was, Shawn told her to stop being an idiot, talk to Gary, and chill out. When she said that Gary can be a “freaking retard” sometimes, Shawn told her they’re both retarded. When she told Shawn that she and Gary were in couples therapy, Shawn told her that they didn’t need couples therapy, they needed anger management classes. All of this is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The best part, though, is that Shawn wasn’t mean the way Amber can be about any of this stuff. He was just being truthful and honest, and he was giving Amber a much-needed wake-up call. Whether or not she actually REGISTERED the wake-up call is a different matter, but I’m really glad that at least someone around there has his head on straight. And now he has a blog! Go Team Shawn!
