Bentley’s parents, Maci and Ryan, are still at odds! Which one of them deserves custody over their baby boy?
Despite having her new boyfriend Kyle and her 18-month-old baby Bentley by her side, Teen Mom star Maci tells RadarOnline.com she feels “alone” and misses her “freedom.” Life as a teen mom is hard enough, but Maci’s ongoing battle against Bentley’s dad Ryan adds an extra layer of stress to her already complicated life. She admits, “My biggest fear is losing Bentley,” and as long as Ryan continues to fight her for custody, it’s a very real possibility.
But there’s more to Maci’s life than just pressure and drama. She’s getting more out of her relationship with Bentley than she ever could have imagined:
“I never knew it was joyful,” she tells the site of life as a mom, adding that “waking up everyday to beautiful little boy who loves [her] more than anything” is the best part about having Bentley in her life.
She’s also learned three very important lessons from her experience: “Life has a meaning, love does exist, and mistakes can be reversed.”
But wait… there’s more! Maci also reveals baby Bentley’s first words: “Car, Bubba, rawr, booboo, bike, and of course momma.”
OK, so it’s pretty clear that Maci is crazy about her little boy. But should she have sole custody of him? Tell us what you think!

omg maci should have custody because she was at home caring for him when ryan didnt go to the doctors and he was a car shows instead of being with his son he is ridiculous and should leave bentley and maci to live their own lives without him!

Why shouldn’t Ryan try to get shared custody of their son? He obviously cares and wants to be in his son’s life and that is very commendable. Being selfish just because you will feel lonely if you don’t get to wake up with your child every day is wrong and not beneficial to your child. As a parent, you have to put your needs and wants second to your child’s and the only reason parents should not get the opportunity to share custody of their children is if they are not caring for the child properly and not because one parent doesn’t want to share the child.

maci should get full custody of bentley shes a great parent ryan is just acting out of anger toward maci and using bentley against her he should just get bentley maybe 2 weeks during the summer and everyother weekend since they live in the same state and that should be all hes not a good father anyway he doesnt even help provide for bentley visitation is all ryan should get if that

Maci you are a wonderful mom and you have nothing to worry about. Of all the girls of the show, you are the best mom. Keep raising bentley as you have been and everything will work out for the best.

Maci is doing whats best for her and Bentley. Ryan is jus mad cus hopefully she found her a good man that also excepts Bentley like if he was his own! Maci should ave full custody of Bentley because she is the one who has been with the baby 24-7 and Ryan has acted as if he really didnt want a child. Dont get me wrong im sure he loves Bentley to death but he knows he wasnt ready to be a father so soon. Maci girl I hope everything works out for you and little Bentley.

what i think is the same but bentley needs both partents. Growing up with only one partent is hard. Having to make a choice during x-mas and other holidays. Of who to share it with.. So they should share custody. Be his parents and do what is rigth for him. Think of him not their own needs…

Maci has nothing to worry about. Ryan doesnt care about Bentley! His parents want more time with Bentley and he if he has more time less money he owes her. Maci shouldnt have even given him the time she did!
