    Default Mother to Media: Lay off Britney

    Here is a little bit from this article and ofcourse the link.


    "And as all moms know, "baby bobbles" happen all the time. Luckily, says Janick, news outlets weren't watching when she walked into a door years ago holding baby son Timmy, whose head hit the door jamb. Her other son, Alex, once fell off the bed as a baby. (Both are fine.)

    The media also mysteriously missed the moment when Stacey Thaler, an actuary in New York, was sitting on the edge of the tub holding her 2-year-old son and fell in, with the toddler.

    "If someone was watching me 24/7, I'm sure they would find any number of things I've done that would be questionable," Thaler says. "Almost dropped my kids? Definitely. Raising kids is hard -- no one can really stand in judgment unless they're much closer to the situation."

    Thousands of mothers apparently agree. This weekend, the Web site parenting.com asked readers whether the media "has gone too far in its portrayal of Britney Spears as a bad mom." In a figure that surprised the editors, almost 10,000 people answered. The results: 75 percent said yes, 25 percent no."



    BTW, I agree with this poll and I also agree with this quote.

    "Almost dropped my kids? Definitely. Raising kids is hard -- no one can really stand in judgment unless they're much closer to the situation."

    I have to wonder how many of the Let's Trash Britney Club have never made a mistake or had an accident happen. I venture to guess the answer is not a single one is 100% a perfect person.

    I agree. I read this article last night on Yahoo I think it was. If we had cameras on us 24/7, they'd be sure to catch us slipping up at some point. I don't like Britney, but no Mother is perfect. Hell.. When I had my Son, he was about 6 days old, and he slipped out of my hands while I was bathing him in the sink, and fell to the floor. He was fine when they checked him out at the ER, luckily. But, you live and learn.

    Honestly, I think that if she had a little help from that leech of a "Husband" she has, she'd be doing much better. Plus, the girl deserves a break sometimes. He sure as hell goes out all the time.

    Agreed. I think Britney has been the victim of a rotten deal from the tabloid press. She's not a bad mother; she's just a young first-time mother.

    ^ Well, they should be putting that loser husband of hers down.

    I have to admit I was one of the ones who "gawked" at her slip...but, no, everyone's right...she's stressed out, watched 24/7, and every little move and mistake is printed. It'd be nice to find a magazine that posts the good stuff she does with the baby...

    I dont' like Britney either, but, to say she's a bad mom because she makes a mistake? I'm not one to judge, God knows I've been scrutinized by many, and as mothers, fathers and step parents, we are human, we all make mistakes, and being a first time mommy.. hell yeah, you are going to mess up at least once.

    What happened to all the britney haters?First off she is not by herself raising her child she has plenty of help excluding the dad.As a parent you have to think about the child first allways even if there are people taking your pic.She also puts herself out there,like when she changed her son at the table of a restaurant.

    Well....no one asked for my 2 cents....but then again no one does. My personal opinion is that Britney is a lame-ass. However...HOWEVER....what's the newest deal? That she TRIPPED? Okay, come on. If people followed me around while my child was little...or if they follow my parents while *I* was little....we'd all be on the front page together. Is she smart? I don't think so. Is she beating her child? No. She a young gal trying to do a good job. Paparazzi make me ill.

    Yeah, she's getting put on the spot...but that's what usually happens if you're dull enough to reproduce with a dude from Fresno CA. Who dumped his baby momma for you. Who is leeching off of you....who looks sleazy....I could go on.....

    Not like I should talk. With my gene pool, it's amazing my family grew to adulthood. Evil lives!

    Stumbling while holding baby? Not a big deal. Driving with baby on your lap? Fucking inexcuseable.

    Exactly... paint...everything else i hear about her is just stupid. I have a 2 year old nephew who i take care of very often and know how those mistakes can be. But even with my learning experiances...i would never drive with him on my lap. That is just common sense.

    Didn't she WAIT a fewdays before taking the kid to the hospital???? Rhiannon, you took yours immediately, I think that's the big difference. there are mistakes where children fall, it happens, but you need to act on it FAST not wait a few days to find out the kid has a fracture.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    I didn't follow the story about Sean slipping out of her hands very closely, so I'm not sure how long she waited. But, you should absolutely take the baby in immediately after a fall. It was funny too, because even though we rushed in, panicking, the nurse said "Did he cry right away?" so we said, "Yes", she said "He's fine". We still stayed and insisted that they run tests and do X-Rays, to be on the safe side.

    If she waited a few days, there is no excuse for that. There is also no excuse for her driving with the baby on her lap. I'm not disputing that. But as for her tripping and nearly dropping him, that's excusable.

    Unbeleavable.. I don't believe she has THAT much help. She has a nanny, but I doubt it's a live-in, and whenever Brit is photographed these days, that baby is always with her.

    She's an exhausted still-new Mom who is also pregnant again. I wish the media would just leave her alone for a bit. I'm sure she's doing the best that she knows how to do. The rest will come with time.

    agree. I don't think she is a bad mother. A bad mother is one who child abuses their own child and doesn't love their Kid. Abadones them, ect.


    She is though, very careless & disgusting from what the media points out. Changing a baby's diaper on a restaurant table in front of everyone who is eating. How stupid can a person be? And walking in gasoline's station bathrooms barefoot....just ew. She's like a pig. I do feel bad that she is being stalked 24/7 by the paparattzi(sp?), that must suck balls. But that comes with the celebrity territory in being famous. You're gonna get stalked, pictured, & criticized. It ain't pretty.

    I was actually at a wedding reception once where a mother changed her baby on the floor among the tables, while people were still eating. A bathroom was less than 15 yards away, too. Some people lose all common sense and propriety when kids are involved.

    ^^^ Disgusting.

    Britney is a ENTITLEMENT WHORE. She thinks she can do FUCK ALL because she's omgfamous. She's also extremely stupid. Look at her entire life. Her sham marriage. Her real marriage. Her mother butting in on her life. Her baby makings. Her idea that making another baby would bring back her babydaddy who left his last baby for her? Driving with baby on lap?

    Yeah... she's just terribly stupid. -.- Not a bad mother, but not a smart one, either.

    ^Hahaha.. Yep.. There was speculation for a while, but she dropped by David Letterman's show a few weeks back and confirmed it. She wouldn't have been able to hide it for much longer I don't think.

    Yes I think its all about people just looking for all the bad things , so sad . I remember when I was a real little guy riding on my Dads lap and steering the car and how much fun we were having . Many things in society now get you in trouble with the safety police and I am sure for most people if it wasn't the law you wouldnt be wearing your seat belt . As for me I really don't mind wearing it or my helmet when I ride a bike but many despise it .

    I'm so tired of the media picking on Brit. Just because she is in the spotlight and famous, doesn't mean she has to do everything perfect! Accidents happen to all of us, even the rich and famous.
