Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner have been hitting some rough patches in year 2 of their marriage. Interestingly when Jamie expressed that she was still pining for an ex boyfriend and started pulling away from Doug she offered a rather odd solution to their marital problems — having a baby. In her blog she said this about why she went there…
“There’s no doubt I wanted to have a baby in hopes that starting a family would make my situation a bit less painful. HELLO! What on earth was I thinking?! And this is where I can now thank my husband for being more intelligent than me. I was acting and thinking only on fixing my feelings. It would be so unfair to bring a kid into this world like that. That’s not what I really wanted. I was just searching for something to fix our problems. And I guess subconsciously I went with what I grew up watching even though I know in my heart that that is the worst thing you could do.
If I could give myself advice: “Girl, just chill.”
Doug hit the nail on the head when he was skyping with Dr. Pepper. He said, “Buying a house and having a baby isn’t the solution.” This is a small example of what I mean by watching it back and learning so much. I am a grown woman. And I’d like to think I am pretty smart. I am from a family where we pop kids out to make baby daddy’s stay and try to fix our relationships. I’ve seen first hand how that is the worst idea. …..but somehow I still ended up going there. I needed to hear that and quite frankly, hearing such wisdom from my husband’s lips makes me really respect and appreciate him more.”
Well luckily these two are doing a lot better now than they were while the show was filming. They are currently looking for a new home so obviously they are planning for the long run.

With Jamie making hundreds of thousands of dollars you would think she would do the right thing and pay back the $15,000 she owes her grandmother. She has been lying to everybody telling them that it was a gift. There is no way her grandmother could afford to give anyone a $15,000 gift.
She had to work 3 part time jobs to repay the bank loan that Jamie and her mother said they would pay.
