Britney to Sean P: Shhhhh ... I'm On the Phone

Sure, Britney Spears is making some progress with her kids -- but she's gotta lose that damn cell phone.

As TMZ first reported, the pre-5150 Britney often ignored Sean Preston and Jayden James during her visits with them. Yesterday was better -- she's giving S.P. and J.J. some face time, but Spears still spent more hands-on time text messaging than touching her boo boos.

91. All of you posters, too, you are making ASSUmptions and reading all this crap into what you see that probably has nothing to do with what is actually happening. What a bunch of loser haters and gossip mongers. She is definitely not perfect, but how do you know she is not taking a call or texting Kevin about them? YOU DON'T and everything you say is speculation. Her son could be running over to his brother cause he picked up his favorite toy. All you haters are more likely the bad parents because you are just attributing your bad parenting habits to Brit. She is definitely not her old self, but she may never be, because she has a very life altering mental disease. Instead of sitting around bitching and whining about her, why dont you say a prayer for her and her kids and go do some research on bipolar disease?

92. Britney’s situation is not that of a typical mother who has her kids 24/7. Since she has a limited number of hours with them, you would think she would turn the phone and concentrate on her boys.

93. It looks like the kid is running for the nanny. She doesn't know how to care for anyone but herself.

Not all of us would think that. In fact, most sane adults would _not_ have this thought at all. Only people who are desperately looking for any excuse to dump on Britney would concoct that extremely weak rationalization as a pretext to trash her even more.

Go back to the video and count the number of seconds she was on the phone: it's not more than SIX SECONDS. That's about enough time to tell someone that she can't talk now, and to call back later. Then, she spent another 13-14 seconds looking at the phone, possibly reading a text message. So we have no more than around 20 seconds of telephone time depicted in that video.

And you can be sure that if there was any other telephone time or any other less-than-perfect-parenting activities in the video, the character assassins at TMZ would have made sure we could see it all.

So all we are able to see is about 20 seconds of footage where Britney is using her phone out of a several hour visit with her kids.

Maybe she used her phone more during the time she was off camera. And maybe not. AND YOU DON'T KNOW.

Another thing that reasonable adults might think about is this: Britney is only allowed to see her kids in a supervised and highly controlled setting. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she is _required_ to keep her cell phone on so that she can be contacted at all times by any of her handlers or supervisors who might not be in the immediate vicinity. For all we know, someone in the house might have texted her to inform her that some stalkers were spotted shooting photos of her,
and to tell her to move to a different location.

But those of you who are unable to control your obsessions to trash Britney will not even want to consider those perfectly reasonable possiblilities. Some of you are so rabid about this that you're frothing at the mouth to come up more ways to excoriate her.

97. Most mothers have their kids all the time and look after them all the time. Most mothers live with their kids. Most mothers have to look after their kids without the help of nannies, most mothers don't have their kids taken away.
The point is, Britney doesn't get to spend that much time with her kids, you would think that in the time she does spend time with them. That time would be special and she would put the phone down until she left. People need to stop
making excuses for her. She isn't like the majority of mothers at all. She is a selfish, spoiled bitch, who doesn't want the burden of her kids because they spoil her self absorbed lifestyle. She has some nasty shocks to come when those boys get older. Because they will hate her. She is a disgusting human being.

98. I,for one, agree that Britney is selfish and spoiled. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not making excuses for her narcissistic behavior.

However, SIX SECONDS talking on the phone and FOURTEEN MORE SECONDS looking at the phone is insignifcant. TMZ edited the video and only showed certain parts of it. Do you honestly think that the Harvey (who has publicly admitted to being jealous of celebrities and who also has stated that he wants to go out of his way to knock them down to size) would have deliberately cut more telephone time from that video clip if it existed?

So what you are doing is calling Britney "disgusting" because she was shown on a video spending TWENTY SECONDS interacting with her cell phone during a several hour visit.

This proves that you have an agenda to trash Britney, irrespective of the fact that at the moment, you are seeing very little evidence to support your doing so.

You have already decided that Britney is "disgusting", all else be damned.

It's like you're saying, "Don't confuse me with facts. I've already made up my mind."

99. "why dont you say a prayer for her and her kids and go do some research on bipolar disease?"

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhh cry me a cheeto... First of all there is not *REAL* Proof, she is bipolar
And second of all, bipolar still isn't as free pass not to take care of the children you brought into
this world. There are many bipolar women who look after their own children. Stop with the excuses
and just admit she is a selfish narcissist.

100. WOW! the nanny has to assist the poor kid with her standing right there next to him. she's WORTHLESS!

101. I don't think the idea is for the noncustodial parent to be absolutely focused on the kids every second during such several-hour visits. With babies and toddlers especially, just being in the same room with mom is part of the process, she doesn't have to be "playing" with them for it to be good for them. Little kids often like to be just nearby mom or dad, playing on their own. They like hearing their parents talk in the background, so there is nothing wrong with her talking on a phone or with somebody right next to her. The idea is to just make her a normal part of their life, not to constantly entertain them (no custodial parent does that either).

And since the visitation agreement specifies that some other adult has to be present whose job it is to keep an eye on the kids, she can also split her attention without any risk to the kids.

Aren't they at her home in these pictures? If so - why is it legal for anybody to take and sell pictures obviously taken of people on private property and obviously not expecting to be photographed? There should be some presumption of privacy in such cases. Our laws just haven't caught up with the capabilities of modern technology, in this as in many other things.

104.
Doesn't everyone here realize that Britney has severe mental problems, and doesn't relate to the world like people who don't have such problems?

She can only have MONITORED visitation with her children because she is such a loose cannon. She even has to have people monitor her - even if her children are not present.

I really wonder if it is possible for Britney to even have maternal feelings for her sons. Who cares if she talking or texting on her cell phone? I feel that the court decided that monitored visitation would be a benefit to Sean and Jayden, so that they wouldn't feel that they were abandoned by their mother. If it helps Britney get to a better mental state, well all for the better.

The little ones look like they are enjoying themselves, and will go home happy. I hope that they will associate going to mommy's house as something fun to do. Of course, their real life is at daddy's house, where they have regular routines that all children need.

There will be reports written, in the near future, if or when Britney can have any unmonitored custody of her sons. My guess is that it will years down the road before this happens,

Maybe, I am 100% wrong.
