“Kails, thirst for a spin off is embarrassing,” wrote reddit user BobbyHatesYou. User wadamelin wrote, “Kail, stop trying to get a spinoff show now that it’s clear that tm has finally run its course and will be over soon. No one is interested in seeing you on tv anymore. Put your degree to use.”
Some didn’t think there was a big enough difference between the kids. User mpr1011 wrote, “I get people love the ‘boy mom’ vs ‘girl mom’ thing but Kailyn and Leah’s kids just act like kids. I’m not explaining it right but both houses have their moments because there’s 3 kids running around and playing, it doesn’t look like “boy mom” chaos vs “girl mom” chaos, it’s just chaos.”

User orangepeeling agreed, “I’m kind of a stick in the mud when it comes to the purported vast differences between parenting boys and parenting girls. All kids can be rambunctious, and I’m just not sold on the idea that boys are somehow more rambunctious than girls are due to magical gender characteristics; if a boy is rowdier than a girl it’s because they’ve been raised to behave that way.”
They went on, “And based on what we’ve seen it looks like Leah’s girls are much more rambunctious than Kali’s boys. The idea of trading parents for a day could be interesting, but it would bug me if it was marketed as ‘Watch these teen moms deal with children of a different gender’ rather than simply dealing with different children altogether.”
But some were even concerned that Kailyn is desperate for a spin-off because she’s worried about what’s going to happen when Teen Mom inevitably ends.
