  1. I think it’s pathetic to want a ring to show off, when you paid for half of it yourself.

  2. Paying higher wages forces businesses to raise prices for everyone. It doesn’t increase purchasing power or help the economy.

  3.  @JoRonnamo  Exactly. The economy grows when people increase their skills and value and produce more. Not when they get $18 per hour minimum wage for doing an entry-level job.

  4.  @wil7228  They weren’t married when they got the ENGAGEMENT RING, Einstein.

  5.  @ecclairmayo4153  I suppose that was more then he planned to spend. He shouldn’t have taken her. He should have chosen the ring himself. It’s best for the guy to know what type of setting his GF likes, then buy it by himself, choosing a diamond he can afford. This girl is a demanding princess.

  6.  @bellazefra  It’s as if the older siblings escaped.

  7.  @Provostialish  She needed to meet a guy there.

  8. I agree about the ring and the wedding. Not about the shorts. It’s embarrassing and undignified for an older lady to wear shorts. It should be illegal for an employer not to provide the option of pants.

  9. Diamond rings are easily lost or stolen. My colleague lost her ring after 30 years.

  10. Plus, since the size of the diamond was so important to her, she should have chosen a round stone. Square-cut is wasteful.

  11.  @donnaleeclubb119  Employees get burned out and resentful when the workplace is understaffed. Watch Joshua Fluke.

  12. It’s unacceptable how many people are coming out of the military without a skill that qualifies them for a decent job. What’s going on over there? Thank you for your service.

  13.  @VegasAceVII  Now they make silicone wedding bands for guys who work with their hands.

  14.  @rhay8245  He’ll get back every dime he pays and more, with the EITC, Child Tax Credit, WIC, and probably food stamps. I find him very likeable and respect him for working hard. I do not respect his knocking up an 18 year old and bringing her here. He’s burdening the taxpayers and causing himself hardship.

  15.  @Closereveryday  Again, there was nothing to indicate the shorts were provocative. I was imagining preppy-type Bermuda shorts. It’s just that at a certain age, our legs don’t look nice, and she shouldn’t have to look undignified to work there. I worked at an upscale restaurant of the type she aspires to. The uniform included our own khaki pants. One girl was short and roly-poly. She very confidently informed the owner that “not everyone has the figure for pants” and she’d like to wear a skirt.

  16.  @BlackCondor88  It’s sad that he tore his shoulder up and he could only go to college with a basketball scholarship. There should be insurance for college athletes’ injuries, to cover the cost of finishing their undergrad - assuming they were academically qualified in the first place.

  17.  @rangerannie5636  Sorry. It’s awful. My late grandma’s wedding bad was stolen from me. It was just a gold band with a design. Not worth much. But it was worth more than zero, so I guess it was worth it to a loser to steal it.

  18. Yes, they’re more expensive than the cost of raising a child. Even one who had to be in the NICU for months. 😂

  19.  @wil7228  Their main concern is showing off on social media.

  20. First of all, don’t go to a retail store. They’ll inflate the price of a lower-quality stone to maximize profit while taking your whole budget. Diamonds are the biggest rip-off out there. Only naive people get caught up in this.

  21. You’re supporting them by paying for the benefits and tax deductions they receive.

  22.  @britlew5933  Having watched all the episodes, I think she’s a b*tch. She’s only cute when she’s getting what she wants. She couldn’t possibly be as kind, patient, and generous to his son as shown.

  23.  @amandaupshaw5907  She contributed to the cost, she didn’t “pay for it”. And her choices were to contribute, or wear a ring that would embarrass her. She was primarily concerned about appearances and showing off, so she opted to contribute.

  24.  @cberryman9189  Americans confuse engagement rings with cocktail rings.

  25.  @ifeifesi  Beer. Champagne taste on a beer budget.

  26.  @itsnick37  He was born in the U.S. He’s not allowed to work in Mexico. The U.S. is the only country that’s too dumb to enforce its borders and laws.

  27.  @crimpers5543  Thats one way to look at it. 😂

  28.  @Closereveryday  There was nothing to indícate the shorts were sleazy. Just in poor taste at her age.

  29.  @nordette  Look at her behavior every time it looks like she might not get what she wants.

  30. Pregnant girl with braces and a ridiculous, expensive manicure, probably acrylic nails. Who’s paying for that?
