The Teen Mom shows are one of those trashy TV shows that you can't help loving, as you watch drama-fraught stories of young parenthood. Yet amidst all the terrible and nightmarish footage, there are surprisingly heartwarming moments when the moms made decent decisions. The Teen Mom franchise began as a spin-off from MTV's reality series 16 and Pregnant, which documented a different teenager each episode as she navigated her pregnancy and child birth.

Critics claim the whole Teen Mom franchise promotes and glorifies teenage pregnancy, but researchers actually found that 16 and Pregnant was responsible for a 5.7% decrease in teen births following its premiere. Everyone can all agree that being a teen parent isn't easy. Add camera crews documenting your every move, and it's bound to complicate things even further. Even though there are terrible moms on Teen Mom, there are times when there's some solid parenting. Check out this list of some of the times MTV caught Teen Mom parenting wins on tape.
