Yes, it is tacky, but I’m guessing Bristol wanted to do it publicly so Todd wouldn’t kick his butt! :)
It’s not the tackiness that’s troubling. It’s the lack of prudence. Using a celebrity mag to force your parents’ hand is just foolish, beyond tacky.
I do wish them well. I just wish they’d be wiser. They’re going to need all the help they can get and it would have been really, really, really good to go to their parents first, tell them what they are planning and ask their parents for advice and support. Cuz they’re going to need it.
And don’t say, “but she’s only 19.” She’s supposed to have learned from her initial mistakes and to have “grown up fast.”
This is not the action of a mature, grown up person. It really is not.
I wish them well. But they have not yet grown up. Ominous.
