Parenting Coach to Brit -- I'm Not A Potted Plant!

301. Brit is a chain smoker and probably smokes around the kids all the time but can't when she is being watched. She has to find places to go in the house to smoke and is probably disappearing to smoke and changes her clothes afterward so the coach or monitor won't smell it on her. By the way, the coach and monitor serve two completely different functions and are probably different people. The coach is supposed to teach Brit how to be a better mother while the monitor is there solely to rescue the kids if necessary. It won't go well for Brit if she demonstrates that she can't or won't learn from others. Ain't no one going to tell the queen what she can or can't do!

302. I'am so tired of hearing people say where is Britneys mom? and why doesn't she step in to help her. Its very simple, she can't do anything with that hardheaded daughter of hers. Britney chose to cut her mother out of her life and her childrens. The only reason she brought her out to Calfornia was to help with her custody battle with Federline, and when that did't pan out she sent her packing. Oh and by the way Britney if you don't want the paps to get to close then stop driving around endlessly and put on some panties,dumb bitch. What a trainwreck!

303. Britney isn't going to change ANYTHING about how she acts or what she does until the PAIN gets to be too much. No wonder the woman has no friends--she doesn't have anything to offer anybody else. It's all about HER HER HER. There is no room in her life for anybody else's needs. She is doing EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS TO, so all you people who are making excuses for her STOP. This is the life she wants. She can choose her future and this is what she has chosen. I'll bet if you spoke to her right now she would say she is the happiest she has been in years, because SHE"S IN CHARGE OF HERSELF.

I saw tighten the screws until she screams. And I think there are only three things that cause her any pain.
1. Lack of attention from the media---she doesn't even mind bad press, what she won't be able to live with is NO PRESS.
2. Giving money to KFed
3. Not seeing her kids.

Britney doesn't care about her reputation, she doesn't care what people think about her, she doesn't care what the tabloids write about her. As long as her picture is on the internet, as long as she is being followed around by cameras, she is happy. Period.

And she actually loves the drama of fighting with KFed. What would kill her is to have a final judgment and have KFed move on with his life and ignore her.

Her kids---yes she does love and care for them. That doesn't mean that she knows how to BE a mother, but I honestly think those kids are incredibly important to her. At this stage, they give her unconditional love. When they get older, I predict we will see a lot more problems, because I'm not sure Britney has the ability to be the adult in the relationship. She is so incredibly needy, and the first time her kids can't make her feel better or the first time they act like.....well kids.........they forget her birthday or mother's day, or they act oppositional----then I suspect you will see Britney blow a gasket. She doesn't have the ability to be the mother they need.

Britney has cut off her own family--who knows why? I am sure her rmother rode herd on her and was the typical stage mother--child stars don't get to be successful witnout a pretty controlling .manager and the cooperation of the parents. Britney is probably tired of being told what to do and so she has thrown out the baby with the bathwater, and won't listen to ANYONE, even when they have her interests at heart. She doesn't know how to tell the difference between good advice and bad advice---she just doesn't want ANY advice.

304. Changing clothes? I thought she walked around half naked. Why do you need to change clothes while you're at home by yourself? I think she's in that bedroom doing drugs or something sexual.

305. Please get rid of the videos overlapping on top of the stories. I can't read anything!!!

306. No matter what happens, this so-called report should not have been leaked to thepublic. These are confidential files and if I were Britney I would sue whoever it was that leaked that report out. I would sue that parenting coach and/or that cild services who is dealign with her situation.

307. I'll believe this when you post the actual report. Otherwise, it's TMZ making things up again.

308. Crack addict mothers who abuse their children, love their children. But that doesn't mean that they should have them. Canteloupe was right on that! Loving your children isn't enough to ensure that they are provided for and in a stable, safe environment. You have to understand what being a Mother entails...it's being selfless and putting yourself (and your wants and needs) second almost 99% of the time. It's deciding that instead of going to a party or out dancing, you stay home with a child that is sick. Instead of trying to get attention from people by dressing sleazy, you have to be someone that you're two boys can look up to and be proud of. She loves her kids, but she is not stable enough and mature enough to understand what that really means.

309. britney, needs a good ass kicking and wake up call..

310. Ive been through the courts. and you have to "jump through their hoops"on command..
Everything you say and do,or don't say or don't do refects on the outcome..
I think that Miss.Spears needs to concentrate on her own recovery..
Miss Spears needs to go to AA and NA meeting, attend parenting classes, consuling, make sure her hormones are even levels..Because when you have babies back to back your body chemicals never get a chance to even out..
She needs to talk about her life..it hasn't been easy being a Disney Kid..
Britney...
Just go to the classes that have been recomended..Nobodies perfect..
And the BOOGERS don't come with instructions.. YA KNOW..
And i'm sorry but you do have to look at her parents..
Did her mom give her a normal life..
Or was her mom obessed with FAME and pushed her kids into the lime light??
BRITNEY GET REAL WITH YOURSELF...
GET TO KNOW WHO YOU TRUELY ARE...
FIX WHAT IS BROKE.. YOUR HEART...
AND TAKE SOME TIME OUT FOR FAMILY TIME!!!
I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER FOR BRITNEY..
EVERYONE WILL BE WAITING FOR HER RETURN..
WHEN SHE IS TRUELY READY FOR IT!!!

311. You're young and in love....you rush into marriage. Then there's the first baby, and things are ok, not great, but good. Then you accidently get pregnant the second time. Things are starting to go bad. Marriage isn't what you thought it would be. You get divorced. You want to have a little fun, so you go out and drink a little too much...do some drugs, but only to party.

Then the realization hits you....

Maybe you should have been partying and having fun all along; not being married or having babies. But the babies are here.

And then the realization hits you again...

Being a parent is a life long committment. It isn't for 10 years, 18 years...they are forever. And they aren't always happy, bubbly babies. They get sick or hurt and are needy. You can't drop them off somewhere....you can't give them away...they are always there and they are yours. They are reminders of a relationship that has ended, but your relationship with them never ends. You have to feed them, and look after them, and you can't do that when you're hungover or drugged out...and they are very inconvenient to take into a nice resturaunt or tanning salon.

So you start thinking....

maybe I can just do whatever I want to do and be a good parent. I can go out and party and do my thing...I can still enjoy myself and take care of them. They are with nannies right? they are safe. Then the more you detach yourself from your babies, you start realizing....it would be easier without them. It would be easier to do all the things I want to do if I don't have them. So you start really partying and losing your grip on reality...and pretty soon, they are gone...forever.

But not because your ex has them....not because of some custody battle, because eventually that will all pass and you'll see them again. They are gone forever because you pushed them away, you scarred them for life...because they are forever angry and hurt that you allowed your life with them to be all about you and not about the three of you as a family. They are devestated because instead of staying home with them and doing all the things a mom should do, you chose to be Britney Spears and not their mother. They are embarrased by your behavior and the way you dress. You were suppose to be a role model, and be strong for them...you are suppose to make them feel better...they aren't here to make you feel better about yourself. You are suppose to be an example of a strong, smart woman...not a weak, shallow, selfish girl.

312. Commissioner Gordon! LOL! Maybe Batman will swing by and straighten this whole thing out.

313. can you imagine being followed around 24/7 by photographers? her life has been that way for many years now, and i don't think it's a coincidence that this similar thing has happened to many, many celebrities. for anyone that's ever studied mental illness in or experienced it for themselves, a huge part of it is not realizing that you need help. i cannot believe people are so insensitive by saying things about wishing death and bad things on her. what goes around comes around and it makes me sick to see comments like that.

314. It's a shame that britney is going down this road. Does not help things much when you have
cameras and reporters around non stop just waiting for you to do something wrong.

315. TMZ: Following drug addicts get real old. Anybody who's had a friend or family member go through a bout of drug abuse knows at a certain point you have to look the other way to avoid empathetic fatigue. When will TMZ get to that point?
