Ah. Thanks for shedding some light on that, Wargod. I can't imagine trying to care for both children and an aging relative at the same time.

You're welcome. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd have got the connection either except that I'm going through it and see more and more of my friends going through it.

My sister and I took care of my Mom till she passed away, and it isn't easy. Then Our Dad stayed with us both at times till the stress got too much then he would swap houses LOL. He has Dimensia and Alshymers (sp) To early not doing spell check LOL. Any way my Dad got MEAN. and really Gross (not going into detail) But he was harder to care for then a 2 yr old. The Dr's said he was in his right mind, so one day he took of for Florida and hasn't talked to us since then! My stress level caring for him brought me to tears. So God Bless you Wargod and anyone else that cares for an older relative!

None of them are together anymore. I wonder how long ago this was filmed. That was my favorite episode, and I actually missed the first half. Very touching.

Where'd you guys get updates that talked about them all being broken up? Out of all the guys, I think I would love to have a dh as caring as Jordan...

It was a very nice ending I thought, and thank you Wargod for sharing your experience! The last few minutes they showed "stills" of the couples and told who was in what college, and if they were together - or "just friends" it was done in a Scrapbooky kinda way - I thought they may have shot it on the last day, then updated it a later time - with words, no voice...

The ending was heartbreaking. I was in tears because one of the old men's wife died shortly after filming. He took the young girl caring for him to meet his wife who'd had a stroke a few years earlier. So to read at the end that she passed away was really sad.

Yes, I too teared up and shed a few when we were told the wife passed shortly after the filming. I very much enjoyed the show and was not surprised that the young couples moved on. I'm under the impression next week will be a reunion show.

The ending info/update was really easy, the couples had all broken up and some of them were attending college.

I just watched Baby Borrowers on WE channel, where they run the show at 10 PM Thursday, tonight the one with the seniors which ends with the couples updates under their photos. Now I too am wondering where info was found re all 5 couples breaking up...because in printed info at end, it said that only Jordan and Sasha and Ryan and Kelsey had broken up. The other 3, even Morgan and Daton, were actually still together. Don't remember all the college info, but it said Jordan was studying to be airline pilot, and someone (I think Sasha?) studying to become pharmacist.

The info I read at the end of Wednesday night's show said each and every couple had broken up. However some remained friends.

I want to make one correction above: when I said "Ryan" and Kelsey had broken up, it's actually Sean and Kelsey. Other than that, I'm confused, because the WE airing of the show last night definitely indicated three couples still working on their relationship, including the surprising fact of Morgan and Daton. And I watched the ending of 2 airings of the show just to double-check the names. Will we have to wait for the reunion show next week to have this clarified?

On NBC it said Morgan & Daton tried to work on their relationship but in the end it did not work.

At the end of the show I watched it said that all of the couples had broken up. And that the episode was in memory of the lady that passed away shortly after filming.

Who would have thought that the elderly people would teach the teens the best lessons of all? On the show I watched, all the couples had broken up. I was actually kind of surprised that not even one was still together, but on the other hand, they're at that age now where they're leaving home and seeing a whole new world, on their own for the first time. A lot of kids don't want to be tied down when they go to college, and the couples that try seem to usually fail. I shed a couple of tears over the death of that one man's wife who'd had the stroke. I was also teary-eyed when the old man went with the young couple to the cemetary to visit his wife's grave, and he said he believed he'd see her in heaven.

I watched it on the WE channel and was surprised to see that Cory and Alicea were still together. I thought everyone had broken up. Well, if there is a reunion show we'll find out for sure. In the first airing I thought it said everyone had broken up, even though a few couples had grown closer and Morgan and Daton had made an attempt to reconcile. It basically left the impression that they were all just friends now.
