It seems that Teen Mom OG stars Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards are once again at odds about what's best for their son, 11-year old Bentley. This is not the first time the pair has clashed, with Edwards being arrested several times, and their tumultuous relationship has even resulted in a restraining order. However, it looks like their opposing opinions are directed at their son Bentley in the new episode of the MTV reality series.

As reported by PopCulture.com, a sneak peek of this week's episode of Teen Mom OG shows Maci at a private wrestling session with Bentley, an activity which she credits with helping him with his father's multiple arrests and ongoing addiction issues. Bookout explains that Bentley is on a strict diet of healthy foods so that he is able to make it to States in the 75 lb. weight class. "Bentley is still splitting his time between our house and Ryan's parents' house," she explains in the clip. "So I hope when he's over there, he's sticking to his diet, because he needs to stay in his weight class to be competitive."

Maci must be a mindreader, because when Bentley heads over to his grandparents' house, Ryan isn't too keen on his son's new eating habits. "I thought wrestling was about technique. I know you gotta have a little bit of strength, so why aren't you trying to gain weight? You need to be gaining weight," Edwards says to his son, adding, "You know what's gonna happen? You're gonna stunt your growth, then when you really...it's time to get bigger, you're just gonna be a great bloomer and it's gonna suck for you."

Way to be supportive, Ryan. If wrestling is Bentley's dream, then hopefully he will realize how important it is to train and work hard to reach his goals, with or without his parents' opinions. New episodes of Teen Mom OG air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
