Should Young And Pregnant's Brianna Contact Her Baby Daddy?

Brianna has made say of her son Braeson’s biological father here and there on Young and Pregnant -- for now, we know that right after a “rebound hookup” resulted in Bri's pregnancy, he mentioned he wanted nothing to do with her or the baby. Right now, the man in question became a hot topic while in this week's episode.


The reason? Right after her move to Oregon, Bri applied for government assistance for her son and had to put her ex’s contact data (or what she knew of it, anyway) on the paperwork. Whenever Bri instructed her mom Jessica what the application entailed, a debate ensued about whether or not Brianna should contact Braeson’s dad directly, as she may potentially not get the advantages if the government couldn’t find him.


“He understands my name, he understands my Facebook, he understands everything,” Bri mentioned. “He could’ve unblocked me. He didn’t. He chose to run from this and that’s his choice, that’s not mine.”


Jessica — and boyfriend Robert — felt otherwise, though, and mentioned Brianna should've at least let the baby daddy's family member know that the baby existed in case they wanted to be involved in his life.


“I feel like I don’t owe him anything,” Brianna mentioned, all fired up. “He was the one who notified me to get an abortion, that I ruined his life by choosing to have this child. So how come I owe him a second chance?... He doesn’t deserve sh*t from me or Braeson.”


Do you agree with Brianna's mom, and should the young mother reach out to Braeson’s dad? Or should she let him (and his family member) be the ones to get in touch? Share your thoughts, then stay tuned for more Young and Pregnant Mondays at 10/9c.
