The Britney Spears Show

This show has gotten really interesting lately. I was in the airport and I checked out a story about how Britney doesn't care that she no longer has custody of her kids. We're all supposed to be shocked, I guess. But like it or not, the act of having kids doesn't magically transform oneself into a mother. Men abandon their kids all the time, and women who don't want their kids often give them up for adoption. It doesn't make the kids any less valid as people, and these kids have one caring parent (their father) and are set for life. Honestly, so what if Britney wants to abandon that life and move on? The kids won't starve, in fact, they'll probably want for nothing.

If I were Britney, and in this state, I'd forget singing, I'd forget kids, and invest a good chunk of money in some stock, and make money that way, then live my life the way I wanted, read books, have parties, and have a good time. She'll never be able to run for office, thats for sure, but who the hell are we to judge her? If she never wanted kids, then she never wanted kids. As long as she helps pay for them (which I'm sure she is), then why the hell does it even matter?

Ok, I'm breaking my cardinal rule and disussing Brittney Spears (yuck!). Kids need a mother/father/partner, can you imagine how messed up these kids are going to be with KFED as Daddy, boozing Brit as mommy. I would agree that somehow we put higher standards on the mother (if daddy goes away he's still "just a boy at heart, if mommy does "she's a monster"). However if it pops out of you, it's yours and if you didn't want it you could have had an abortion.

I don't judge people who put their kids up for adoption or give custody to the other parent. Circumstances change, people change, and it's entirely possible that what's best for the children may include having somebody else care for them.

I feel bad for Britney because it seems like she was thrust into adult situations before she was really an adult. I hope she has a good financial planner.
