That would suck to loose ur kids.Get it together trick. Drugs aren’t that great!

Wow, poor Britney. People need to lay off this girl. She has her problems, sure, like everyone else, except that her problems are put on tv and in magazines. We don’t see any of the good things she is doing because no one takes pictures of that or writes about that because it doesn’t sell! I would like to read and see the GOOD Britney is doing for her children, not the bad. She can’t be that bad of a mom or a person.
Before Britney met Kevin she was MUCH better off and doing so much better in her life. She should have left him in the back row as her back up dancer, if she did do this, she would be alright right now.

I am going to make a prediction: Britney will fail on all counts, and when called to answer for her actions, or lack thereof, she’ll cry, whine, and threaten suicide, ’cause she only wants to be a mom, y’all. The state will cut her some slack due to her celebrity status, and eventually those poor little kids will be permanently damaged either physically or emotionally (or both).

At least Kevin has the support of both sets of grandparents.

i am only 2 years older then britney and i am ashamed she makes younger mothers look like idiots. one i dont drink do drugs or even date i see to many stories of abuse that i rather not even risk my sons health and life to date someone who might not be able to handle children and what babies do so britney should be a mother to those boys first they are beautiful and hopefully they can have a great future if they get the love and caring for they should have and quit the bull s if not for your sake for the boys sake .i wish the best for them both

I think that a lot of people are letting their dislike of Kevin cloud their judgment when it comes to Britney’s parenting. Even after the judge has found that she has a substance problem and is requiring her to take parenting counseling/work with a Parenting Coach none of which Kevin is required to do, there are those who will say Kevin is a not a great father, he has issues, he drinks etc. The difference between Kevin going out and partying and Britney is that Britney has a drug/alcohol problem at the moment and Kevin at least according to the court does not. Someone who has a problem with drugs/alcohol should not be out partying at clubs where those elements are in abundance.
In regards to Shar’s comments about Kevin smoking pot. The question you have to ask yourself is: is Kevin abusing drugs right now? Not two or three years ago,but right now. If he is not, then the fact that he used to smoke or sell pot for that matter is not that important. The thing about Britney is that her substance abuse problems are not in the past they are continuing right now which is a huge problem.
Lastly everyone is making a big deal about the fact that the court gave Kevin a list of things he cannot do and are using it as evidence to show he is not a good father. As Kevin’s attorney explained on the Today show last Friday, the things the court are requesting Kevin to do and to refrain from are things that any parent going through a contested custody battle would be asked to do e.g., don’t say anything disparing about the mother, don’t take the kids out of state w/o the other parent’s permission. On the other hand, the things Britney is required to do are out of the ordinary. Is Britney the worst mother in the world, of course not but it appears that as of right now, Kevin the better of the parent of the two which is why he does not have to work with a parenting coach for eight hours a week or submit to random drug tests.

Lauren- What I believe in is not judging a mother for something that I’m not even sure is true. We have absolutly no way of knowing for sure whether or not partying is a higher priorty to Brit than her boys. I said that it MIGHT be, with MIGHT being the key word.

I can also see at least one good thing about the 50/50 custody arrangement being left in place for now: The parenting coach that will be working with Britney will actually be able to see Britney’s parenting skills for herself or himself. If Brit didn’t have the boys, the coach would be unable to see her parenting skills, and therefore less likely to be able to help her improve them.

That said, to be honest, no way do I believe that Kevin should be given even temporary full custody of the boys right now. I am one of the few people who actually thinks that he is NOT neccesarily the better parent. I mean, the guy was out partying his a** off right after the births of his sons! Besides that, he smokes pot on a regular basis (from what I’ve heard, he was even outed by Shar Jackson for this!), he drinks (as at least one other poster has stated, he has even admitted that he likes to drink when he’s with the boys!), and he has even been seen out partying in Vegas recently (as well as possibly a few other places).

Also, he obviously has a few other issues as well, otherwise the courts wouldn’t be doing any of the following:

-Requiring that he, like Brit, doesn’t drink or consume any non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours prior to getting the boys.

-Requiring that he go to joint co-parenting counseling with Brit.

-Requiring that he, like Brit, take a “Parenting Without Conflict” class.

-Forbidding him from using corporal punishment on the boys (although I realize that, like several previous posters have stated, this may very well have been just a routinue, precautionary measure).

All of that said, as I have stated before, I do NOT think that K-Fed is neccesarily a horrible father (just as I don’t believe that Brit is a horrible mother). I just believe that he, like Brit, has some issues he needs to work on. In fact, when he and Brit first split up and the “Will Brit lose her boys?” rumors began, my first thoughts were: “Heaven forbid that Kevin get full custody of those boys!”

As another poster has said, the truth is that NEITHER Britney nor Kevin is a model parent right now, and they BOTH need some help.

If, for some reason, the courts decide that the boys should be taken from Brit, I think that her parents should get temporary custody of them.

“I really do think she loves those boys, and while partying may be a higher priorty for her than the boys right now, I think that’s mostly due to her problems and mental state right now, not because she doesn’t love those cute little boys!”

So you believe that a mother who prioritizes partying over her two babies and is clearly mentally disturbed shouldn’t have her kids handed over to their father while she seeks help because the fact that she loves them is more important than the fact that their best interests are not her top priority?

Brit, YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS! I realize it must be very hard and your through a rough time now, your marriage fell apart and your a young mother of two little boys. It will get better, just keep the faith and just remember that GOD will not put nothing on your shoulders you can’t handle. This is a learning tool and a stepping stone. Get through this ok for yourself. No one else but you and your boys! Your X is trying to to distroy you! Don’t let him find the strength from the Lord and pray on this, you’ll get through it. My prayers are with you! You’ll be alright!

I wonder what kind of drugs Britney is doing? Coke? You would thing that if she was doing Meth or Coke she’d be Nicole Richie thin. We all know Kevin is a big pot smoker, so why doesn’t he have to get tested?

Unfortunately, unless a miracle happens, a few “rules” won’t stop an addict until after he/she loses everything first. I give her a month before she slips up for good and Kevin gets those kids permanently.

Doesn’t she see what she’s about to lose???

Jodi F- I couldn’t have said it better myself! Although I am a Britney defender, I will admit that she definently does have issues and that she definently needs that parenting coach to give her a few lessons in parenting. I also agree with what Jodi F said about K-Fed. Let’s face it, he’s not exactly an angel either. We may THINK he’s the better parent, but like some commenters have pointed out, he just seems to be a lot better at hiding his issues.

Shar has confirmed that Kevin smokes pot on a regular basis, and I know he has been seen out partying and drinking in Vegas (and possibly other places) as well. Also, have we forgotten all the times he was out partying after the births of Sean and Jayden?

All of that said, just as I don’t think Brit is a bad mother, I don’t think that K-Fed is neccesarily a bad father. I am just saying that he definently has issues as well, and I am tired of people acting like he’s parent of the year or something (I apologize in advance if I sound like I’m putting words in people’s mouthes. All I am doing is stating my opinion.).

Like I have said before, I am really rooting for Britney! I really do think she loves those boys, and while partying may be a higher priorty for her than the boys right now, I think that’s mostly due to her problems and mental state right now, not because she doesn’t love those cute little boys! Anyway, I’m rootin’ for ya’, Brit!
