VH1 Casting Call

[pam]

Angela Harmon who is a casting director for VH1, wanted to get this out to the Mormon community and so I have been asked to post this here:

Casting Call: Vh1 & Ellen Rakieten Entertainment are casting for a new docu-series and looking for mothers and daughters who are pregnant at the same time. Vh1 is interested in documenting your lives if you find yourself and your daughter in this unique situation. If both you and your daughter are outgoing and interested in sharing your stories, please contact the casting team immediately at:[email protected]. Please include a brief description of why you should be part of this docu-series and what has happened in your lives since you both found out you are pregnant.

That made me laugh! Of course, the Mormon community would fit this criteria! LOL!

Oh wow! This reminds me of an old movie.. I forget its name but mother and daughter get pregnant at the same time. I want to say Father of The Bride but that can't be right. Anyway, yeh that would make for an interesting series. I'm pretty sure a couple women in my parents' ward fit this category, who have kids in their late teens having babies, and they're still having kids. I joked about this with my mum when I was pregnant and she said, "Are you crazy!? I'm 65 years old!"

It is Father of the Bride 2.

Sad, it used to be mainly an LDS/large family thing, but now it's 30 year-old mothers whose 15 year-old daughter is getting pregnant.

If you had three generations of pregnancies at age 15 you'd get...

Generation 1: 45 years old.

Generation 2: 30 years old.

Generation 3: 15 years old.

You could conceivably have all three pregnant at once.

You could conceivably have all three pregnant at once.

No pun intended?

Noticed at the time of writing but not intended per se.

That's scary, for a woman and baby, from a health standpoint.

Oh, good heavens. I can't see ever putting my family at the mercy of editors.

I can just see it.

Teen: There are times I hate living so far from the city. I'd love it if you and Dad could more closer.

Eowyn: You know it is one of life's disappointments that we just have to deal with. My dear, if it's any consolation we won't live here forever, and it is not like we moved here because we enjoy making you suffer.

Teen: I hate you and Dad!

Eowyn: One of life's disappointments we just have to deal with. My consolation is we enjoy making you suffer.

That's all I'm saying.

[carlimac]

I hope I'm not eligible for casting in this show!! My daughter is due with her second in three weeks. If she doesn't have another for two years, I'd be...way too old.

My other daughters are too busy running track and playing soccer to get pg.

Go one more, and great-grandma is 60. Can you imagine being a great-grandparent and not being old enough for Social Security?

[Gwen]

My parents were great grandparents and to young for social security. My oldest brother and sister are grandparents (40's). I was an aunt by the time I was around 9. I'm a great aunt, have been for a few yrs. My stepson has an aunt that is like 2 yrs older than him.

And no I don't come from a long line of lds family. First generation in the church.

I can't imagine being willing to subject my family to VH1 or any other reality program. I'm honestly surprised it's allowed to be advertised here.

[classylady]

I also would not be willing to subject myself to public scrutiny.

I have a cousin that had a baby at the age of 16. Her daughter also had a child at age 16. So, she was a grandmother at the age of 32. Then her grandson had a child when he was 18. So, she was a great-grandmother at age 50.
