Not that it should have come as a surprise to anyone, but washed-up, has-been teen pop sensation Britney Spears lost custody of her kids yesterday. From the news reports I saw, it seems that this is a temporary loss of custody in the on-going saga that is her divorce and custody battle w/ ex-husband, K-Fed.
As a mom, I do feel for her. I would be devastated if my kids were ever taken away from me. So, in that respect, yeah I feel bad for her.
However, she has not exactly been "mother of the year" material. From driving with her kid on her lap, to being visited by children's services, to the reports of drugs and alcohol abuse and a stint in rehab (and let's not forget the impromptu head shaving incident)....I would honestly have to say Brit needs some serious help in the parenting department.
I have a feeling that the kids were taken away because she failed a court-ordered drug test. This seemed to be what all the talk shows were saying last night too.
If that is the case, then YES, those kids needed to be taken away.
But, I have to wonder if Federline is the best person to have the kids. Yeah, he's their dad....but the guy has no job, no potential for a job, and is essentially living off his alimony of $20,000 a month and partial child support. (OK, so if I was gettign $20K a month, I'd probably not work either, but that's not my point). He is just as much a party animal as Brit, if not more. I tend to think that his escapades just aren't reported as much.
The ones I really feel for are the kids. Those two little boys don't deserve to be stuck in the middle of this. The parents need to get their respective heads out of their asses and get their lives together and realize that nothing is more important than the happiness of the kids.
Memo to Brit and K-Fed: Grow up. Be parents. Stop screwing around.
Amen. I can't believe that Brit or Kfed's parents are not stepping up here.
