Before I declare Britney a bad mother...
...I'm holding out for pictures of her doing lines of coke off her kid's unbreakable crib mirror.

...long time lurker/reader, first time poster..but I had too after reading that..you almost made me spray Coca-Cola out my nose..
For some strange reason, I don't think you'll have to wait too long.
How else will she have enough energy to be the perfect mother, and the perfect wife, and the perfect "artiste" too?
Today is transfer day, all prayers from the whackjob contingent gratefully accepted. I have ONE embryo to transfer.
Going in for retrieval I thought of:
If I Had a Hammer
Start Me Up
Born to be Wild
Born to Run
:)
Hey, briefly delurking...
I was just wondering about how much things seem to have changed... My mum says she remembers driving with me in her lap fairly regularly, and the only chance she had to have a cigarette was when she was breastfeeding me... There's a 12 year then 18 year gap between myself and my younger brothers, during which time mum's approach changed a lot - she says you worry more when you're older.
I wonder what will be acceptable or otherwise when my brothers are my age??
Cheers
Yes, but I'm sure when we do, she'll have a PERFECTLY LOGICAL explanation for it.
Yeah, she'll just have been doing the coke to protect sweet Sean Preston from having to do it himself. Goodness knows you don't want to take the chance of little Sean-y ingesting it when it's lying around the house. Britney having that baby is more proof of how unfair the universe is.
What makes you think the crib mirror would be unbreakable?
"Look, y'all, I totally had to snort coke right off my baby's scalp. You don't understand. The paparazzi was out there, somewhere, so I just instinctively tried to protect him by hoovering up that stuff. Otherwise, the paparazzi would have snorted it, and like, you don't want to see them on coke, okay? It's totally ugly, y'all. But I am willing to make that kind of sacrifice, because I would like, DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT MY BAYBEE, okay? I mean, except for put him in a carseat. 'Cause that's just crazy talk.
Love,
B"
Akeeyu's got it, except that I think she'd sign her whole name, with a heart above the i instead of a dot.
That is too funny!!! But I too question the unbreakable mirror!
Are you sure it wouldn't be broken shards of mirror? I mean because the kid could use those as weapons against the paparazzi.
So much to say... so much to make fun of... where to start?! Who decided to let her procreate? I want to chat with the one in charge!
Did anyone really think Brittney would be a good mother? Capable mother? Or even just a marginal mother? No? Me neither.
There was a news story of a woman here in North Texas (Plano) just a few years ago who was driving with her baby on her lap and as she drove through an intersection, someone ran a light and broadsided her. The airbag went off and killed the baby. She had other children in the back seat at that time. It was bad enough that the child was killed, but she also suffered the scorn and rage of the press and the entire metroplex and I think charges were pressed. A very bad decision she made that day that changed her fate and that of her children as well. Learn from her Brittney.
I doubted she'd be a good mother, but I'd thought she'd at least hire a competent nanny, so as to be able to do lines in peace and quiet.
People magazine online says she did it because she was sitting in her car with bebe in lap while she was waiting for her bodyguard or something. Then the papparazzi came, swarmed the car, and she couldn't get back out of the car to put bebe in the carseat, so she drove away to get away from the swarm, choosing 1 evil over another. That is her excuse anyway. :/
But she doesn't look the least bit distressed. And did anyone else notice that the passenger is wearing his/her shoulder belt? Oh, the irony!
I do think she believes, as my husband pointed out, that she can control everything through the very essence of her Brittney Spearness. (Despite her lack of success in this area with her husband.) So, she just doesn't believe she'd get in an accident.
Delurking...
As long as the crib mirror is unbreakable, she's a good mother. It's pictures of a *breakable* crib mirror I'm looking for!
I think those are coming out in Star magazine next week.
Julie, just about the funniest thing I've heard in a while now. Too much!
LMAO! Thanks!
I also wondered about the male passenger. If she was genuinely that upset why was she even attmepting to drive? Couldn't she have been in the back with the baby while the passenger drove them away from the photographers?
Actually giving her propensity for fast food and going back and forth on her weght I think Brit is doing lines on the mirror and improvising a breast pump as a bong. It's not like Miss elective C-secion/tummy tuck would risk losing her breasts to breastfeeding.
And please don't read too much into this post. I'm teasing Brit not making any blanket statements on breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding.
Yeah I don't think you'll have to wait too long either.
Unfortunately, you'll probably see her doing the coke off of the pregnancy test for her next kid... :(
I was surprised to see her interacting with the baby at all. I thought she'd have staff for that.
Yeah, baby on lap while driving. Yeah, coke on the mirror. But nothing beats a good balcony-baby-danglin'.
Subversive Mother, good luck with the transfer. Thinking positive for you!!!
Unfortunately, Stacey, I think you're right about that......she'll probably have a passel of kids. The unjustice.
I mean injustice! Lord, I can't even spell today.
De-lurking to say that after all her 'concerns' about the papparazzi they were still able to get a picture of her and the 'babe'. Now millions of people have not only READ about her poor decision making, but they have SEEN a picture to prove it. And just what kind of bodyguard would leave her and the baby in the car? I thought that the whole point of a bodyguard was to protect them!? He can't hardly do that from inside the store!
Sheesh!
Even with the flimsy excuse that they couldn't get back out of the car, a logical mother would have handed the baby to her bodyguard, reclined her seat, scooted back on the reclined seat, taken the baby back,put the baby into the car seat and buckled him up. Probably with a toy in her teeth to keep the baby occupied.
Yes, just another reason to add my list of why I hate Brintey Spears. Ugh.
You know, she's so full of shit it's ridiculous. First of all, she's in a huge SUV, so how hard is it to duck in back between the 2 front seats to put the baby in the carseat?
Second, if the paparazzi was so frighteningly, horrifyingly agressive, WHY IS HER WINDOW OPEN????
And you know the bodyguard just put 2 scalding hot lattes in the cupholder next to the baby, right?
Sheesh - I rarely criticize mothers for misjudgements because let's face it, we're all guilty of something or other, but at least I own up to it when I make a mistake. Yes, I've left my son in his carseat when returning a shopping cart or paying for gas dammit! And I'm sure I'll do it again if I have to!
And the really funny thing is, last week it was "reported" that she told K-Fed no to having the little guy's ear pierced. Ear piercing vs. using the child as a buffer between the driver and the air bag ... what to choose?
Yep, just one more reason I can't stand the little bitch.
Sad as it is, I am not surprised...
Once trailer trash, always trailer trash... and no amount of $$$ will ever change that...
I'm glad Eliz knew about the ear piercing thing...I thought maybe I had dreamed that or something. Report I read said she didn't want the baby's ears pierced because he'd look like "trailer trash." HAHAHAHAHAHA.
She's got a lot to worry about, that one.
Would it be tacky to start a betting pool about this?
I'm fervently hoping she gets caught trying to sell the next one's cord blood to an unscrupulous Korean geneticist in exchange for lab-grade Special K.
I'm still having trouble getting over the fact that she's still married.
I had hopes she would be a good mother. I'm not convinced, yet, she is a bad mother. We all make big bad terrible mistakes. Right now I am reserving my judgement too "poor judgement".
Also, she is from the south, and unfortunately people still drive around with their kids in their laps like that. (of course we refer to that as white trash) My own grandfather thought it was communism to "jail that baby like that" and talked about how I used to stand up in the front seat and hold onto the o shit handle while my grandparents drove around town.
Don't get me wrong though, I believe she should have had her kid in its seat. I don't see why she couldn't have just handed him to the bodyguard to strap the kid into his seat.
But on the fence, that Britney's baby is too short to reach the "o shit handle." Otherwise it would have been totally cool.
This reminds me of a story my husband (a police officer) told me, about a family who didn't have the money to buy a car seat (and evidently didn't know, or was too proud to get a free seat at the health department). They had their baby inside of a plastic milk crate, secured to the back seat of the car with bungee cords. You have to give them credit for making an effort.
She began being a bad mother when she chose Kevin for the father of her kids! What was she thinking- oops silly question
Wait, so your saying doing a line of coke off their unbreakable crib mirror is bad? SHoot, all this time I thought "what it's unbreakable, and a littl ecoke never hurt anybody". I really thought I was still being a good mom. Thanks for the heads up! ;)
YYyyyeeaaaahhhh...I once let my baby weld the broken mailbox door and I didn't put the protective headgear on her. I also let her smoke my Chesterfields. So, you know, trailer trash is as trailer trash does.
I'm just not famous enough to have the press follow me around, thank the lord, jc.
Britney's too easy a target. I still think that naming a child "Apple" is far more negligent. And just wait until Tom Cruise gets his hands on a kid; Michael Jackson will look like Dr. Sears in comparison. :-D
Whoops! I'd forgotten that Tom Cruise was married before with children. And his kids do seem fine even though he's turned into a strange agent. Well...that's hope for my children, anyway.
Kristine, the milk crate story just made me tear up for those poor people doing the best they could.
I am the mother who accidentally let her baby eat cat poop, but I can guarantee that if I'd had a bodyguard at the time it wouldn't have happened.
Regarding jozet's comment: "And just wait until Tom Cruise gets his hands on a kid; Michael Jackson will look like Dr. Sears in comparison."
Well, considering Dr. Sears is all about sleeping with your kids, then Michael Jackson... oh, never mind.
The thing is, though, even if we were in the front seat when we were younger there were very rarely airbags, if any.
The damage an airbag can do when it is released is frightening to an adult with a seatbelt on. To a baby sitting *right in front* of it, I shudder to think.
Poor judgement or not, it was an insanely dangerous thing to do. If she WAS surrounded by paparazzi, then she very well could have bumped her car into something in the "get away". She could have easily been distracted enough by the baby to sideswipe a parked car. Anything could set an overly sensitive airbag off. I'm also assuming she'd fork out the cash for the dual airbag car too, so the baby would still be less safe in the passenger side with the body guard.
I can't excuse such poor judgment. I can't pass this situation off as a choice between two dangers. As many of you commented, she could easily have passed the baby over to the backseat to strap him in. She didn't.
Plus, she doesn't look very terrified to me. She's actually smiling in the later photos. If she was terrified you'd think there would at least be concern.
Dumb broad.
Personally, I think there should be a Celebrity Adoption Program. We could relieve parents who are far too busy with their fame, glory, and Cheetos to take care of their children, and give the kids to infertile women, who would actually protect them. What say you?
