The writer's blatant partiality, which borders on contempt, does not change the fact that she, as a very young mother who is constantly in the spotlight, has done a pretty good job of keeping things together, with no obvious help and support from the child's loser father. Her boyfriend has stepped in and done a wonderful job, and he truly loves Tripp, who calls him "daddy". This situation is never ideal, but he is surrounded by love. Bristol has been hurt and abandoned, but she has stepped up to be both mother and father to her son. Meanwhile, Levi has made another baby which he will soon abandon also, and who will not either be supported by him or known to him. How low.

For all of you harpies that focus on him being a deadbeat father, it just shows how it is in America if you are a father...you pay for access to your kids. None of you know if the mother even allowed him access to the kid. This sounds to me just how it always is in these types of cases-she told Levi if you stay away from me and the kid, I won't hound you for support but if you step out of line, I am going to make your life miserable.

Its one thing to say you love your child, its completely another thing to step up and do the day to day necessary work. And its something, comepletly different to pretend your a better parent when you havent even played parent for 15 seconds to a child you created. Get off your high horse and join reality Levi, if you gain custody that only means little Tripp will be raised by a well paid nanny, with no true parental feelings towards the child what so ever. Once a dead beat, always a dead beat, and unfortunately, it will be Tripp that will be paying the consequences to both of your childish behaviors and what's even sadder is that when he realizes it, you will both be banished from his life in effort to salvage any life he has left to live with or without your unnecessary influence.

After having nothing to do with his son for how long... He thinks he is the better choice to raise his son?! Yes, Bristol has said she needs help in the disiplining department, but honestly, what parent doesn't?! I do not use any foul language of the sort nor do I allow my daughter to listen to music or tv with foul language but she HAS picked up a few words on outtings. No parent can help what their children hear from other people. Levi should just move on and get ready to be a deadbeat dad to child number 2!

He's just red-faced with jealousy. He would be the worst of the two to have full custody. He needs to keep his pants zipped until he is mature enough to be a father which means quit trashing the mother of his child. Grow up first Levi.
