Try as she might, Teen Mom 2's Chelsea Houska just can't get her slacker ex-boyfriend, Adam Lind, to see things her way when it comes to parenting their 3-year-old daughter Aubree.
Celebrating their little girl's latest birthday on the Nov. 26 episode of Teen Mom 2, Houska goes all out for an ultra-pink bash at a local arcade -- featuring a pink leopard-print cake, cupcakes and balloons -- but Lind is nowhere to be found.

"He should be helping me get ready for this party, but I'm not going to let it ruin my day," she complains to a pal as she sets up for Aubree's special day in a preview from Monday's episode. "I'm not even going to expect him to come. I'm not even going to think about it."

Though Aubree seems unaware that Lind -- who famously called Houska a "stretch-mark bitch" -- is MIA, Houska definitely notes how he skipped the bash.

"Adam and my dad got in this fight the other night and I'm a little disappointed," the single mom fumes shortly after Lind presented her with a promise ring as a token of his love and devotion to their family.

Given her volatile history with Lind, Houska tells Us Weekly she's much more cautious when getting into relationships these days. "After what I went through with Adam, I'm really picky now. I don't want to do that again," she told Us on Nov. 2. "I am single and I do not see dating in the near future at all!"
Teen Mom 2 airs Monday at 10 p.m. (EST) on MTV.
