What Parents Need to Know
About The Baby Borrowers
Parents need to know that this reality show offers important lessons for kids of all ages -- even though it's clearly targeting teens and their parents. Although the concept of having babies is inherently sexual, the content steers away from reproduction and focuses on the reality of what happens when a living, breathing baby (or toddler, or tween, etc.) comes into the picture. That said, the teen couples, none of whom are married, live together during filming, and some are shown sharing a bed (no sexual activity is shown). Some of the teens act out in ways that are nearly as immature as the kids they're caring for, but it all serves to drive home the show's messages about reality and responsibility. Expect some audible curse words (like "bitch" and "dumb-ass") and bleeped-out stronger language (like "f--k" and "s--t").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about which of the teen couples they think could actually make it as parents and which couldn't hack it. Teens: Does watching this program change any of your assumptions about what it's like to be an adult? Which teen couple do you respect the most? The least? Parents: Does watching the teen parents in action remind you of your own experiences as first-time parents? Was there anything you wish you'd known before having kids that you had to learn after the fact?

Great Concept :)
Although I have only seen one episode I wanted to rave about it. This show has a great concept. Its funny, teaches you about children and their behavior, and hopefully prevent teen pregnancies. Its worth your time. Its one of the best tv shows I've seen in awhile. WATCH IT :) it comes on every Wednesday on nbc at 9/8 central

amazing
this show will definitely educate teenagers who think they are ready to be parents that it is really very difficult and something that they are not yet up to. I think that by watching this, some teens will think twice about having children at such a young age and it may also cause less teenage pregnancies.
