Britney Spears lost her kids

Calimama replied: I feel bad for the kids.. they need a parent.. and some stability. Of course I only know what I see on tv so I can't really say much.

moped replied: Yeah she has really hit rock bottom - sad to see!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Yeah, I saw this yesterday. Hopefully it will help her straighten out. I know I wouldn't have been a good mom at her age either, but man, one wrong move and I would have had my act together. She has done several and just goes back to doing them. Yes, I'm not there in her shoes, so it's only what I see in tv. But this is all I have to base my opinion on. I really wish her and the kids the best.

luvmykids replied: I actually feel sorry for her. I hope the kids will be in a better situation, if you can believe the media KFed is a decent dad. And I'll even admit I like her new song

Calimama replied:
How old is she?

moped replied: 25

BAC'sMom replied: I can't help but feel sorry for her.

Anthony275 replied: it's a shame

PrairieMom replied: I just think the whole thing is sad. i can't imagine defying court orders if I could loose my children over it. She is definitely not in a stable frame of mind. Man I hope she gets help.

Cece00 replied: Its a shame & I think she probably needs help.

But how funny, that a few years ago you always heard reports about how KFED was always going out & partying while Britney was with the kids & all...but now HE is the stable parent. I guess the courts overlooked all that

stella6979 replied: I guess I'm the only one who doesn't feel sorry for her and I don't think 25 is too young to be a good parent, she just doesn't want the responsibility. I think in her mind she just thought it would be fun to have kids, but that's obviously not the case. I mean really, what kind of a moron thinks it's ok to bleach their kids teeth? She's had plenty of opportunities to clean herself up and yet it seems like every week she's out there doing something stupid. She feeds off the attention whether it be good or bad. I really do hope Kevin is capable of being a good parent, cause those poor kids need some stability in their lives.

MoonMama replied:
I agree, and like others have said really all I know is what the media says. But its so sad and heart breaking all around. I hope everything turns out well and in the best interest of those kids.

Calimama replied:
ITA.

ZandersMama replied:
me too , my kids are very close to hers in age. I'm 24. When you have kids you have to be unselfish, and i think she is just a very selfish person.

Anthony275 replied:
wait, what? What's this about?

stella6979 replied:
Now this is just from what I've read, but apparently she consulted a dentist to have Sean's teeth bleached because they were so stained (due to her giving them coffee). And when that dentist refused one of her nannies said that she saw Britney trying to force those Crest Whitening Strips onto his teeth.

My3LilMonkeys replied:
I don't think 25 is too young to be a good parent - but it is too young for some people to be good parents. Some people are very mature at that age, others need more time before they are ready for the responsibility.

Calimama replied:
Wow I hope that's just a misconstrued rumor from the tabloids, sad.

stella6979 replied:
I'm sorry to say that I didn't read that in a tabloid, it was on cnn about a month or so ago. They could very well still be rumors, but when it comes to her, I don't doubt anything.

Brias3 replied: I feel for those kids, because in my opinion, BOTH of their parents are nuts.

However, I can't help but wonder- why didn't he fight for custody of his other two kids (with Shar Jackson)? Is it because the other mom isn't a multi-millionaire?? Just speculating of course

I have to say, however pathetic this statement is, I think its better they are with him than her, but still. Ridiculous all around- I feel so bad for those little ones.

Anthony275 replied: i hope that's a joke. he's going to lose his teeth anyway, and isn't coffee for a baby bad??

I do also agree with the statement that we only know what the media is reporting, which is never good news. That is always important to remember. But as often as she has been caught doing dumb things it is impossible to feel sorry for her. Feel sorry for her kids.

Kentuckychick replied:
I will agree that neither parent is the best parent on earth,

but I don't think that people should compare his fighting for his two children with Britney to his relationship with Shar and their two children. You honestly can't compare the two at all... if Shar is a good mother and he's truly fighting for these kids because he doesn't believe they are in the best place, then why would he fight for custody of his other children. There have been many, many interviews with Shar Jackson in which she's said that she and Kevin share custody of their children and that while their relationship was not meant to be that he is a wonderful father to their children and that their relationship is amicable.

Other than that, I really think that the judge made the best decision in this case. I think it spoke volumes that Britney did not even keep the children with her until tomorrow (when the judge said they had to be handed over). It's almost as if this is what she's wanted all along. I really do think that this is all her cry for help even if she's not intentionally doing so.

As for Britney being a young mother... she's 25, she's not THAT young. I am 25 and don't act like Britney without children so I don't think that's an excuse at all. Also I think it's important to remember that she's not a victim... she chose to marry Kevin (in fact she's the one who proposed to him 3 times before he finally said yes!), she WANTED to have children and she is responsible for the fact that she now has two sons (she may or may not have really wanted) with a man she didn't clearly didn't really want to be married to.

I find it difficult to feel bad for Britney. Don't get me wrong, I want her to get help and I want her to come back the best mother possible for those boys... but as far as her behavior goes, she only has herself to blame.

luvbug00 replied: I

i never thought i would say this , especially being a mother myself but she soooo got what was comming and i am THRILLED they took those kids out of such a dangerous situation. Kfed is not the best answer but he make sure to hide the kids from the limelight and although his choises haven't been the best in his relationships or for himself he seems to really love his babies.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I don't condone Brittany's actions or her lifestyle. But as a mother who has suffered from Post Partum Depression with each of my children only to have it diagnosed with Claudia, I sympathise with her and only when she admits that she needs help, will be when she actually gets help. She can't do it for her family, her friends, her career or even her children. She has to want to do it for herself!

CantWait replied: Well I'm saddened by the fact that she's hit rock bottom and obviously needs some help, I'm glad that the kids have been placed with their dad.
She just isn't mature enough to handle the responsibility and parades them around as if they're dolls and nothing more. They need some stability.

jcc64 replied: As mentioned previously, she isn't that young- my mom had 2 kids, a husband, a house, and a career by the time she was 23, and that didn't send her spiralling out of control. I do feel sorry for anyone that can't come to grips with an addiction problem. However, her narcissism is preventing her from holding herself accountable for the mess she's made of her life. Although life in a fishbowl can't be easy, she certainly enjoys all the perks of such a lifestyle, and has the necessary resources to get the help she needs. Her failure to do so is a major character flaw, imo, and I think the right decision was made for those poor kids. Somehow, I think she imagined the kids would be adorable little accessories like her dogs- fun to dress up and show off, but not so great to have around when it's time to go party with Paris.

gr33n3y3z replied:
she needs to grow up
she had a chance to fly right she blew it oh well
So no I dont feel sorry for anyone who causes this kind of B.S. on themselves
Maybe the kids will turn out ok I guess their is still hope for them.

grapfruit replied:
Wow, you totally said it best...

lovemy2 replied: I think the whole situation is very sad for all involved - first of all - if it were you or I doing what she has been we probably wouldn't lose our kids because we would be so scrutinized - not to condone her behavior - in any way shape or form but....and as far as K-Fed's drinking, partying when they were married I guess at least he was leaving them home with their mother - not dragging them around with him -

Its very sad for those kids - as if their life isn't crazy enough being born to celebrities - now they will deal with all this - I hope the whole family can get it together and find some peace

indywndy_04 replied:
I 100% agree with you. She has had PLENTY of opportunity to clean up, plenty of warnings...but yet, she still did stupid crap. She doesn't deserve those kids.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: For the record, I never said 25 was too young to be a good parent. My mother was 25 when she had me, so obviously I wasn't saying that everyone that age isn't capable. I was referring to myself - saying that I wouldn't have been a good parent, at least not the parent I am today, if I had kids at her age. So I was trying to not be so judgemental of her actions when I probably would have made mistakes too. She has obviously made some extremely bad choices, I don't disagree there.

Mommy2Isabella replied: humm ...

I am 20 and will have 2 kids, and a husband, and house to care for. I don't drink nor do drugs!

HOWEVER, I am no britney spears, I don't have cameras on me at every moment, and like someone else said, if it were any of us, we wouldn't be getting our kids taken away, perfect example is my sister. My MOTHER sent her daugther away to go live with family because she couldn't take how my sister was mis-treating her. She has 2 other children that she sees but they are so emotinally screwed up they need serious counseling!

EITHER WAY, I don't condone the behavior I think it is CRAZY, and hopefully K-Fed will be able to handle them in a more mature way. Britney is so caught up in the pop star lifestyle, and it doesn't allow much room for children!

My2Beauties replied: Yeah I'm so sick of hearing about her. The only thing that makes me feel sorry for her is the fact that she does not have a moment's peace, she is constantly surrounded by paparazzi and who wouldn't go cuckoo with all that being around them. I also feel bad for the kids because when they are with her, they are surrounded by the paparazzi too. It's a sad situation. I mean she failed a drug test, she drank excessively, the judge made the right decision. I've heard K-Fed is a good dad, he is a sucky rap artist but a good dad nonetheless and I'm glad he has custody of the kids. I saw on TMZ last night that she stayed at a swank Beverly Hills Hotel, I heard nothing about her partying, do tell!! She didn't really look all that sad neither. Oh and I noticed pictures of her leaving a restaurant the day before she lost custody and her newest baby was in a forward facing car seat?? He's not even a year old yet I saw all those shots of her carrying the baby in her lap too while she was driving. She's just as dumb as they get.

coasterqueen replied:
She recently stated that she wants to be in the public eye - wants to be photographed etc by the paparazzi because if she wasn't in the public eye then she'd be forgotten.

Sad.

Danalana replied: I've been following all of this through People magazine and US Weekly. I don't feel sorry for her in the least. That might sound cold, but she has proven that she cares way more about partying and having a good time than she cares about her kids. Her family has tried to help her and she blew them off (apparently, they wanted her to get off drugs.....how dare they?!). Kevin isn't an ideal parent, either, but at least he lets her parents have interaction with the kids and spend time with them. I sincerely hope this is a wake-up call for her and she takes some real steps to get straightened out.

stella6979 replied: I really don't think her status has anything to do with why they took those kids away. If anything, I think it's her status that kept them from being taken away sooner. IMO. I think if anyone was caught driving with their kids on their laps, they would most likely be taken away immediately. At least for a short period of time. I've read some pretty horrible things about what she has done to those kids and I'm so glad they were taken away. Aside from wanting to bleach her kids teeth, I've also read that she gives them ice cream and coffee at night so they'll stay up later and sleep in longer. And witnesses who worked with her have also said that she'd let them sit in dirty diapers all day long until someone else changed them and that on a few occassions she's yelled at them and told them there were "mistakes" and "should have never been born". Now like I said before, these are just things I've read and who knows if they are true, but it really wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were.

HuskerMom replied: I think it's sad how she went from being so successful to her life being such a mess. I really hope she takes losing her kids as a wake up call and gets her life back on track and gets the help she needs. I'm not too optimistic about that happening though. I feel sorry for her kids, they deserve better.

groovewithjamie replied: its so sad. she needs to straighten out her life out first though so i agree with the judge's decision.

A&A'smommy replied: I feel terrible for her children, its a sad situation but its good that something positive is happening for them. I hope she takes this opportunity to straighten herself out.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: She's too much of a child right now to be a competent mother, and I'm not talking about her age. Age has nothing to do with maturity level, as several of the younger mothers here have proved. She's got mental issues and she needs to seek professional help.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I have to agree 100%. And I had Tanner at 25, and I was very responsible. Poor kids. She needs to grow up.
