Some of them, like Tyler Baltierra's dad Butch Baltierra or Jenelle Evans' mom Barbara Evans have been on the show consistently since the beginning, while others, like Kailyn Lowry's mom Suzi Irwin or Jo Rivera's mom Janet Mantalvo, we hardly ever see!

But it's safe to these parents have played an important role in the Teen Mom franchise, and they sure have changed over the years!

Scroll through the gallery below to see all the parents from the Teen Mom franchise, then and now!

1 of 10

Jen and Larry Edwards (Ryan Edwards' Parents)

Arguably the best part of Teen Mom OG, Jen and Larry are a staple of the show and have been on since the beginning. They've both remained present in Maci's life, despite the fact that she and Ryan have been broken up for some time. We think it's safe to say they're the most stable relationship on the show!

2 of 10

Butch Baltierra (Tyler Baltierra's Dad)

Of course, we all know Butch — and his infamous mullet! He's been on since 16 and Pregnant when he was still married to Catelynn's mom April. Though his relationship with his son has been rocky, as he's been in and out of prison for years, from the looks of it, they still remain close.

3 of 10

Michael Abraham (Farrah Abraham's Dad)

We all know the name Michael — probably because Farrah yells it at least once per episode. Michael is always smiling… and we guess he hasn't changed his glasses since the show began!

4 of 10

Suzi Irwin (Kailyn Lowry's Mom)

Kailyn's mom Suzi has dealt with addiction issues since we met her on 16 and Pregnant. The alcoholism got so bad that Kailyn had to move in with Jo Rivera's parents while she was pregnant with Isaac. We don't see much of Kail's mom on the show.

5 of 10

Janet Mantalvo (Jo Rivera's Mom)

We all remember Janet from 16 and Pregnant and some of the early days of Teen Mom 2 because she played such a huge role in Kailyn Lowry's life, but she hasn't made an appearance on the show in a while. She was definitely a fan favorite for her knack at telling it like it is.

6 of 10

April (Catelynn Lowell's Mom)

Once married to Tyler's dad Butch, April has been a big part of Teen Mom OG. She didn't always get along with her daughter because of her drug use and alcohol addiction, but these days the mother-daughter duo seems to have smoothed things over.

7 of 10

Barbara Evans (Jenelle Evans' Mom)

Probably the best thing about Teen Mom 2, honestly. Her accent and memorable one-liners keep fans tuning in. She has custody of her daughter's son Jace so she's plays a consistent role on the Teen Mom franchise.

8 of 10

Debra Danielson (Farrah Abraham's Mom)

Who doesn't love some Debz OG in their life?! Though she and Farrah fight constantly on the show, Debra seems to be an amazing grandmother to her granddaughter Sophia.

9 of 10

Randy Houska (Chelsea Houska's Dad)

Another fan fav, Randy and his daughter are total BFFs. He's a superstar dad, grandpa, and dentist!

10 of 10

Jeff Simms (Corey Simms' Dad)

Poppaw Jeff might just be the cutest grandpa on Teen Mom 2. He and son Corey get along great and he's been on the show since the beginning!
