Video: Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham: I Need a Break From Baby Sophia!
Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham has a big decision to make.
Accepted into a bachelor's program in Florida, the 20-year-old mother of Sophia, 2, is anxious to relocate from her home in Iowa to attend classes, but wonders if her little girl should make the trip with her.

"I know it's necessary for me to take a break from always being with Sophia, but it's really hard for me to do that," Abraham says in a new clip from Tuesday's Teen Mom finale on MTV.
As she weighs the pros and cons of relocation, Abraham is easily torn, but never more so than when her mother, Debra Danielson, urges her to leave Sophia behind.

"I know in your heart you want to be with Sophia, but you've got to have the time to go figure you out," Danielson tells a tearful Abraham. "You've got to get well and be happy."
In recent months, Abraham has indeed made the decision to focus on herself -- and her career -- and she's dreaming big.

Her pet projects include opening a restaurant, publishing a cookbook, launching a line of baby food called Sophia's and even creating mother-and-daughter fragrances. For inspiration, Abraham continues to look to her daughter. "Having Sophia is momentum for me," she tells Us Weekly. "I am paying for college, but I'm also saving for her college!"
The season finale of Teen Mom airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. (EST) on MTV.

this b**ch is pathetic.There is no break when your a mother. we all make mistakes but when these kids are born they have no idea what went on so why should they pay for our stupidity??? Im a teen mom NOT PROUD of my decision but PROUD to be a mother!!! iv sacrificed plenty including school and still manage to make it with less support then this h*e.. GROW UP be a MOTHER and TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN DAMN KIDS.. Leaving your kids for school doesnt make you look any better then if you where leaving them for drugs. IJS.

I do agree that once you have a child they are yours to raise and look after, but on that same note how many people that have commented have been signal teen mothers and know what it's like to raise a baby on your own. Trying to gain your independence from your family to raise the baby the way that you see fit and not feel like youalways have someone else trying to tell you what to do. If my mother would've given me that chance that Farrah's mother's giving her it would have been a very hard decision to make as well. You want to do what's right for your child first and foremost but on the same hand what's best for your child also has to do with you getting a better life for yourself so that you can give him/her a better life. All mothers can be sneaky, and have other agendas it's not human if we don't but that also goes for the fathers too. So why then is it so hard to see that Farrah want's to do the best thing for Sophia's future? if I had to take a guess at it, it's because there aren't many people that have ever been in her position. I was a teenage mother and wish my mother would've given me the chance that Farrah's mother's giving her. I have worked in child cares for 15 years and roughly two years ago went back to school now that my children are in school full time, something that I should've done many years ago, I will be able to give my children the life that I want to after I graduate and they will see and know that it doesn't matter how old you are, you can always go back to school. I honestly believe that Farrah's mother has the right intentions for her and Sophia and it's a very hard choice to make but in the long run it very well may be the best thing that Farrah and her mother can do for Sophia. By Farrah going away to school it gives her a chance to get better and do something for her that makes her happy and in doing so it will make her a better mother for Sophia. In the mean time with Farrah's mother having Sophia, it will give her a chance to have a bond with her granddaughter that she wouldn't have gotten before and a chance for her and Farrah to reconnect over a common interest, Sophia. This sounds like it would be the best choice for all parties involved. And unless everyone lives in glass houses, no one should be throwing stones. I'm sure there are things that we have all done in our lives that we are not proud of these "teen moms" have shown all of us that whether or not they made the right choice, they are doing the best they can to make things right. (Most of them) I think that Farrah's doing the best job that she can right now raising Sophia but needs help to make her an awesome mother for her daughter in the long run. It's a proven fact that when parents don't get the "breaks" they need from their children abuse can happen and often does. The fact that she knows she needs a break, I give her all the props in the world, it's very difficult to be able to admit that. I'm surprised that there isn't more people that have wrote in that don't support her. Whether you know her or just watch her on TV she needs support from everyone she can get, she needs to be told that she's doing an amazing job raising Sophia and she has come a long way since she first went on the air when she was pregnant with Sophia. Yes maybe teenagers need to stop having babies, but then we as their parents need to talk to them more about it as well. Teenage pregnancy isn't something that only affects the mother and father of the baby but the community as a whole. If a community could come together for the teenagers there and talk to them maybe we could get the number of teenage pregnancies down. Over the last decade the number of teenage pregnanies has droped but still not to where they should be. So why not try and help the teen mothers and fathers that we have now and hopefully we can keep the numbers dropping for the future.
If Farrah were a little wiser, I would say yes take your child with you. But as we all can see, she does not make wise decisions. Take the car scam for instance. Nor can anyone tell her anything. For instance she was just going to go to court without talking to a lawyer ignoring her mom telling her that she needed one. ( When Sophia's other grandmother wanted visitation rights) Yes she's no longer a "teen" but she needs this time to grow and mature without Sophia being in the crossfire of Farrah's growing, maturing and the mistakes that are sure to come. Where else better can you grow up than at college. And while I have the floor. I absolutely HATES the way that Farrah talks to her parents!!! Proof that she needs to grow the heck up!!! I cringe every time she speaks to them.
Farrah I think that were ever you go Sophia goes. You shouldn't let know one tell you differently being a mom is the toughest job their is. Sophia is your responsibility making sacrifices is what parenting is about. unfortunately in this job There is no such thing as a vacation or break time from your child. I am also a single mom too I also am going to school full time M-F to become a RN. moving to a whole different state without knowing anyone is even harder but if this is what you want then this is what you have to deal with. I know I might sound harsh but its the true at lest in my opinion. good luck
Farrah if you are wanting to go to school in FL you would be doing the right thing by leaving Sophia with your Mom. I lived in Fl. for many years I have a Daughter living in Fort Laurderdale now the nick name for Fort Laur.is Fort Liquordale. I promise that Sophia would be better off with Grandma. Just for kicks look up the Fort Laur. crime rate. No place to raise a child not safe fun for mommy but beware of dangerous places especially after dark. The crime and transit population is why we got out of there.
Farrah.. i think this is a good decision for you !! your not leaving the baby behind, your getting a education so you can teach your child to be a good person and make the right decision !! I'm so happy to hear that your going to to go school with out the baby. hardest decision ever but in year or two when u gave ur degree and your baby youll be sooo happy !!! Congrats !!
Farrah's mother is a snake and can't be trusted and is a bitter old bag!!!

I don't like Farrah's mother!! I have been following the show since Farrah has been pregnant with Sophia. I don't think Farrah's mother likes her own daughter very much and trying to throw Farrah under the bus and fight for rights of her own granddaughter by saying Farrah is an unfit mother.
first of all this show sends the wrong message, all I have seen is these teen moms get these nice homes to live in, they all get jobs, etc...and there's always family kicking in to help them. This isn't how it really is and what most young people need to realize is these teen moms are earning a hefty salary from the show in order to be able to manage all that they have. The show makes it seem so easy..it isnt.
While Farrah is absolutely hot-headed and mouthy and in need of a serious attitude adjustment, this article is really spinning things. If you watched the finale and episodes leading up to it, you would have seen Farrah trying desperately plan her life with Sophia independent of her mother (and if I had her mother I too would want some space)! Farrah's mother really relentlessly pushed Farrah to leave Sophia behind, trying to convince her it was what was best for Sophia. She even got manipulative by praising Farrah for finally doing something for herself to better herself by a getting a degree, and "let me help you by watching Sophia." Farrah didn't originally want to leave Sophia behind. In the end, I was really disappointed in Farrah for caving to her pushy mom. Yes she has issues, but this article really twisted how this rolled out. Her mom has her own agenda.
I am a mother, my daughter's name is Sophia as well. I am going to school, working full time, and don't send her to daycare, I keep her myself while I work. This is all very difficult, but day by day, we get through it. THATS JUST IT!! "WE" get through it. No, baby Sophia did not ask to be left in Iowa, but did Farrah ask for her child's father to pass? I think not. Yes, Farrah can be self centered, but as far as that child goes, she has done her best. She is not a single parent by choice alone, but by fate. It would be unimaginalby difficult to leave your child hours away with your parents, but it takes one STRONG woman to do that, you are all saying you could never do that, because YOU are greedy and selfish with your time, and your own visions of an 'ideal parent'. Obviously she didn't want to do this, but knew it was the best thing for Sopha, so you are ALL wrong!! And that comes from a mother who absolutely adores her child, is also in school, and understands where Farrah is coming from. Who are you to judge her????
You annot just push your child aside whenever you want. This child did not ask to be born. Get over yourself Farah and do the right thing and stop depending on your parents
I have been watching this show since day one and Farrah is the most self absorbed, self centered spoiled brat on there. She treats her parents with disrespect and has no gratitude for all the help and they have given to her and her child. I'm not surprised she ditched her kid to go to Florida. As for her pipe dreams of opening a restaurant, etc. etc....that's laughable. She has no clue how to run a restaurant or how to even get one off the ground. She would need her parents to bankroll it and help her in every aspect.
Stop these horrible "shows" about irresponsible people...why is there no show about those who do the right thing, study hard and make sacrifices for their future? There are so many people out there who are worth the recognition, but they are not trashy enough or what? And if these horny teens are too stupid to avoid pregnancy (which really is not rocket science), at least give the kid up for adoption, there are so many great couples out there dying to do what you won't: devoting their life to the kids future.
I don't actually follow this show but I'd like to put in a comment as a mother.... if she really wants to go to school and finish ( w/c is great! Go for it! ) isn't there a school in Iowa? why relocate all the way to Florida? If her goal is to really get a degree isn't there a school in Iowa that she can apply to? Is that her mom on the video? well, she's wonderful to offer her assistance just so to give her daughter a start :) Farrah, you're lucky to have family behind your back, they've got wisdom , they're older. May be this time around do your duty as a child.... listen and obey.
Welcome to life! Should have thought of that BEFORE you got pregnant! Expecting a 19 year old to be ready for parenthood and committment is equivalent to a four year old being able to drive on the freeway! Glamorizing teen moms is disgusting. They were IRRESPONSIBLE to begin with and giving them a TV show epitomizes the brainless society we unfortuately live in today.
@Sharon...thanks =) Jayme: Good for you!!!!!
