Iam going come out and say it, I find that Britney is a unfit mother, almost dropping her son, and having on her lap during driving, it is not very good, she is an awful mother, also her being pregnant again is also not good. A very unfit mother and very bad one

I disagree i think she is a great mother. The media just blows things out of proportion. They made such a fuss when social care was called in after her baby hurt his head in a fall, but looking into the full story behind it, it's plain to see that Britney's actions were faultless: her nanny dropped the baby, like any good mother Britney called in a doctor. That doesn't sound like a neglectful bad mother to me. The doctor said the baby was fine and that was it. Then Britney noticed that her baby was sleeping more than normal and concerned about it took him to hospital. Surely if Britney was a bad mother she ouldn't have cared, noticed or acted so promptly. Social care was called in because it's procedure. A baby falling can happen to anyone it doesn't mean you're a bad mother. And as for driving with a baby on her lap, it was bad judgement but it was spontaneous and she was being hounded by paparazzi, she acted quickly to simply get away!

Seriously, I think we need to cut the poor woman some slack. It's bad enough worrying about your baby's condition when he's fallen and it's your first time as a mother. To have the press on your back must make the pressure worse. End of the day she is like any other first time mother and she needs support and space, being hounded all the time must be awful. she is a celebrity but she is still human and must deal with the pressures of being a first time parent like any other ordinary person. It must be especially difficult when she has a difficult husband (has anyone noticed that you always see Brit with her baby on her own, husband is nowhere in sight), she must sometimes feel that she is a single, unmarried parent which is more pressure.

Also especially difficult when you're pregnant with baby no 2 (I do wish she wasn't pregnant again; she should've divorced hubby. But pregnant she is and she has to make the best of it). The hormones she has to deal with on top of everything else.

There are IMO, no real signs of bad mothering. I give her the benefit of the doubt and so should everyone else. Britney is a lovely person and I have no doubt that she is a very good mother!

you're forgetting the famous "car ride",as well as the time he rolled off her bed. she "came back in the room and found him face down on her floor". if she's such a good mother,why did she leave him on her bed alone? what was more important than taking care of her son?it's funny how many people conveniently forget these instances.i dont think she deserves any "slack". if she doesn't want the "horrible,evil press" on her back,why did she sell her first baby pics to people?she obviously loves the attention,so why should we feel bad for her?if she wants privacy maybe she should have thought of that before trying to make money off her kid (which i think is disgusting...honestly does she really need the money that bad???) at least angelina used the money for charity(which is extremely admirable) NOT to line her already overflowing purse.talk about selfish. then she has the nerve to complain about all the publicity!!!
britney knew exactly what kind of person kevin was from the get-go.
leaving a pregnant woman for brit should have been the biggest sign that he couldn't be trusted...but she goes right ahead married him and promptly had a kid with him.
that's just stupid. if he couldn't stay with the girl he already had kids with,what made her think he'd do it for her? did britney think she was someone special? well,surprise,surprise,what do you know,now he's being flaky with her,WHO i ask,who would have seen this coming???
she got herself into this marriage knowing full well what he was like,everyone tried to tell her,but she wouldn't listen.guess she thought she knew better.guess she was wrong. so why on earth should i feel sorry for her???

Celebrities often sell baby pics to satisfy the media's curiosity and therefore increase the chances of being left alone. I agree with you she shouldn't have married that man. She was naaive, it doesn't make her a bad person. She is not the only woman in the world to fall for the wrong man and ignore all the warning signs.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aquarius

The emotional atmosphere is quite potent under this Lunar Eclipse, evoking a sense of crisis. The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
