Teen Mom Farrah Tells Her Mom That Sophia Will Go To Florida

Is this a good idea or nuts? Farrah reverses her decision to leave Sophia with her grandparents when she goes to college during the ‘Teen Mom’ reunion special!

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham sure is indecisive! During the Teen Mom finale, she bawled about her decision to leave her 2-year-old daughter Sophia behind with her own mother Debra Danielson in Iowa as she moved to Florida to go to college. But during the Sept. 27 finale reunion special with Dr. Drew Pinsky, Farrah changes her mind again and tells her mom that Sophia will be coming to Florida with her for part of the time!

“Sophia won’t be staying with you entirely,” Farrah reveals in a clip from the reunion obtained by Us magazine. “That means she’ll probably only stay with you when I move and only visit when I need to focus on school — so probably not as much as you planned.”

And Farrah decides this almost instantaneously. “Pretty much right now as I’m thinking through it,” she confesses. “The more time you have to think about things, the better [clearer] it gets.”

Debra’s caught off guard by this revelation. “She told me to go get a room ready for Sophia,” she says. “She told me to get all this stuff done so Sophia and I went shopping and we did all of that.”

Farrah jumps in: “That’s good that she has a room.”

But Debra realizes that the only way Farrah is going to understand what a commitment she is making is by going through the experience herself. “I think Farrah needs to take Sophia down there maybe experience some of this [and] maybe she’ll understand why I am suggesting this and why I’m offering this help to her,” she shares. “Do you know how expensive it is to have full time child care while you’re trying to go to school and then try and pay for school? $38,000 for school, and she’s moving to an area where the cost of living is so much higher than where we live. And then she’s going to have try and pay for a full time babysitter.”

Farrah seems to understand this. “Yes, those are realistic and I know the long list,” she admits. “That’s why I work hard.

“I don’t think [a babysitter] will be as comforting [as Sophia being with her grandparents but] I know that I can reach her quicker if she is in the same city with me,” adds Farrah.

Hmm! HollyMoms — do you think it’s wise for Farrah to take Sophia with her to Florida?

Kat you sound really immature. which i guess following your logic makes you a crappy mother. Get your head out of the television and into to some literature. maybe you can grow up a little bit. I am a single mother i have 3 children and i am a full time college student thanks to my parents. my kids and i were living paycheck to paycheck. hardly able to buy food sometimes. my parents offered to let my children move in with them while i got to college full time 45 minutes away to get my psychology degreee so that i can actually give my children a life. one that we can be proud of. using your logic i am a bad mother and i should get whats coming to me. you have no idea what her real situation is. all you see is what MTV wants you to see to get some ratings. I think that living sophia is the first motherly choice farrahs made from day one. she wants a better life for her and her daughter. there are hundreds of women doing the same exact thing that she is doing. you are only looking down on her because she’s a “celebrity”. stop being so judgmental and grow up.

Farrah is a lier. She just cares more about florida drinking and partying more than her daughter. poor sophia =( This is BS for a mother do do. I will NEVER EVER act like this when I am with my son. He is my one and only world.Were gunna go and get Farrah one day and we will have justice for sophia!! =]

wow.. talk about being judgmental. have you been in her shoes? i bet not… she’s doing the best she can, she wants to take sophia. Sophia has a good mom, she doesn’t need “justice” you need to stop judging. she doesn’t abuse, neglect, or scream at the kid, shes just trying to figure out whats best for her. why not turn that last comment towards a truely craptastic mom like Casey anthony or something.
