Britney used to grate on my nerves. I can be honest and admit there was a touch of jealousy that contributed to it. I mean really now, she’s gorgeous & she does what she want’s–it was all legal and she made/makes money doing it-millions upon millions at that! and that’s probably what bother’s most women who despise her–but it’s much easier to say “she’s ugly, she’s stupid, she’s a slut” blah, blah, blah. The more these comments fire you up as a woman and the more you want to tell me I’m full of crap the more you’ll prove my point so let’s agree to disagree now. =)
This whole issue on the car seat facing the wrong way or not used one time is just ridiculous. Yep, I said ridiculous. Anyone my age and above sat in many a car with NO seatbelt for LONG trips or sat in Mommy’s lap while she BOTTLE fed us or slept in her arms or sat on the drivers lap for a run to the store etc or lord forbid ALL of the above….and we all lived to tell about it. The world did not end, our parents were not horrible parents for doing it and on top of that most of our parents didn’t have crazy ass money hungry press stalking their every move and chasing them…which would have caused an animal like (we are really animals at heart) Mothering instinct to grab one’s child and haul ass no matter what means or how one hauled said ass.
I can’t imagine having every single aspect of my mother style questioned and debated. I mean really, if all Mother’s had as much scrutiny and belittling as has been done to Britney every single one of us would get bad marks. Yes, even you Perfect mother’s with your perfect children who have every known *popular* mental illness to account for the fact that you’re such a great mother that it can’t be you who are doing something wrong so it has to be your child who has a *problem* so let’s smack a label on him or her and wear it with pride in internet signatures and when introducing said innocent children:Â
“I have 3 kids, my oldest has PITA & OPMO, my second has extreme OPMO with BAMIH to boot and my youngest has PTDWEA, the worst. Oh, and I the Mother have TLTD and PMAQF and was diagnosed with ADDEADDD when I was 35 which explains all the bad things I ever did in my life and why anyone who ever disciplined me was wrong and should have known, how could they not know? Goodness, I’m so glad I caught what was wrong with my children and now they have a LABEL to prove that.”
Hmm…..Britney, you’re a good Mommy no matter what society say’s. Your love for you son show’s through in everything you do but mostly in everything you haven’t done since becoming pregnant. You and I would be great Mommy pal’s, I just know it!

I admit I’m not the biggest fan of Britney Spears; I know that all new mommies make mistakes. However, she is a big public figure and everything she does no matter how small it is will be blown way out of proportion.
The law is there for a reason. I know there have been moms out there that have done similar things as Britney. Hell, my mom has probably done something like that. No harm, no foul, right? Try telling that to a parent who drove with their kid in their laps and ended up in an accident. Some people are lucky and some aren’t. I know if it were me, I wouldn’t take that chance.
I’m not saying Britney is a bad mom. There are moms out there that do a lot worse things than she has ever done. I’m just saying she needs to be a little more careful.

You’re right about being more careful~I’ve told myself that a lot raising my son lol.
