You Tell Us: Did Britney Deserve to Lose the Kids?

Britney Spears has handed her two boys over to Kevin Federline following a judge’s order that she temporarily lose custody.

The troubled pop star reportedly gave Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, to Kevin’s bodyguards yesterday before driving to the DMV to finally apply for a California driver’s license. She also reportedly went tanning just after dropping off the boys.

Today, there are new reports that Britney’s failure to apply for that license may be one reason she temporarily lost the kids.

“Extra” has learned that she could not provide a California driver’s license and had failed to take a court-ordered drug and alcohol test. However, her lawyer says there is no evidence Britney actually failed a drug and alcohol test.

Britney has been charged with misdemeanor driving without a valid license and hit-and-run after a caught-on-tape fender-bender in a parking lot on Aug. 6.

Just weeks ago, a judge called Britney a “habitual drug and alcohol user” and ordered her to undergo twice-weekly random drug and alcohol testing. She was also ordered to enroll in parenting classes. New rumors today claim she never even signed the judge’s order.

The next hearing is set for Wednesday.

Britney has reportedly left her Malibu home and checked into the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Ms. Speers literally has no place in her life for those children. In my opinion she does not want the children, at least on a full time basis. She cannot admit this to anyone, not even herself. She was raised in an area of the country where ‘family values’ is a very big thing indeed, ie. NO mother gives her kids up etc. I am certainly not implying that HER upbringing was exactely wonderful, but the prevailing mores in her hometown are 180 degrees different from let’s say…..Holywood.
She therefore does everything she can, particularly in public, to insure that her kids stay with Daddy while pretending, peerhaps too much, that she is simply heartbroken without them. She has had multiple opportunities to get them back, ie. missed court appearances, publically trashing the judge. Wandering into court snapping gum while dressed in ‘hooker of the month’ costume, showing up 90 minutes late,knowiingly with the paps in tow, avoiding the ‘private entrance’ etc
Her mental disorder is clearly that of a narcissist, ie. me, me me, me and more of me. She can’t even tolerate the attention her children recieved when she is out and about with them. She had a fit, literally, when her sister’s pregnancy became public knowledge…remember she said, “you wont be the only Spears on front pages”. Or something to that effect. .
So no, she should NOT have her kids,since no one can predict just how much she REALLY doesn’t want them.
For a change the court got it right,they usually do not. They usually operate under the misguided notion that only the mother can raise a child,clearly incorrect in this case.
In my judgement Brit Brit will not intentionally kill herself she’s too selfish. Please note, I said intentionally,that doesn’t exclude accidental overdose or driving off the road,or off one of the Hollywood cliffs but intentionally, I doubt it.
Did you happen to notice that the last episode was almost all focused on Brit Brit. She used the kids to get everyones attention and the it Btit, and Birt and more Brit.
My solution….a good spanking followed by a long period of everyone simply ingoring her child- behavior.

Aw c’mon guys, give her a break. She’s a young single mom with more problems than the average young single mom. You think her actions are crazy? How long could you last if you were being followed by people intent on making you look bad every day? I’m serious. The paparazzi only wants news. I read somewhere that sometimes the paparazzi actually provoke people just to get a good shot! What would you do if you were in her position? If I were her I’d be hurling stuff at the paparazzi and suing them in court! The fact that she hasn’t done that yet proves that she’s more in control of her emotions then we give her credit for. If I were her, I would’ve gone crazy.

I don’t know many parents that are out there have not made at least one mistake that Brittany has. I mean get a grip this girl is young and every new mother has alot to deal with. They have been doing this to her ever since Sean Preston was born. I fell more than one time with me holding my kids and they never once hit the ground I did. They would land on top of me. I have not seen her drop her kids. The paps need to get a life and leave her alone. She is only human. KFED as someone said here before left his pregant girlfriend for Brittany. What kind of man does that. A LOSER THAT IS WHO and that is all it is. He is only wanting those kids so he can get money out of her. LEAVE HER ALONE. Brittany keep your head held high and good luck to you!!!

It’s one thing to go out and party every once in a while - having one continuous party is a different story! I believe that when the marriage ended and she realized Sir KFed was not going to be there 24/7 to help her she wasn’t interested in the single parent scenario. However, instead of just saying hey this is too much for me she has let the judge make the decision for her through her actions. Just like she went out to tan she could have a tanning bed installed in one of her homes in more than one room. So her choices let to her ultimate choice I don’t want to do this full time by myself. Brit it would have been okay to just say I’m tired and I need some help. There isn’t a mother alive or dead who hasn’t said it at least twice. It doesn’t mean you failed it means you are human.

I feel like Britney had many chances to prove that she was capable to raise these children but she didn’t do simple things she was asked to do. Also when kevin was in court for the kids she was out joy riding all ove L.A. That goes to show whats more important to her, definietly not the kids. Maybe Kevin isn’t the best person on the planet but maybe while he has the kids she will get her act together and start acting like a mother not a ho.

come on people….anyone would make a mistake under the microsoft of the photographers like she is. I just hope they put KFed under the same heat lamp or else it won’t be fair. Is he still being tested for alcohol in his system since he now has the kids. Every parent needs time off of to blow off steam and going out with friends to clubs is just that. I think she should have retained custody of those boys. Toddlers need their mothers more than anything. come on judge wake up…keep fighting brittney.

I think it is horrible that a reputed doctor would come on television and predict suicide for any human being. I usually do not comment on television shows, but there are boundaries. Is a story that important? It seems that many of the tabloid shows are trying to push this young woman to the breaking point. It is not that important that the public know everything about Britney Spears’ comings and goings. It is ashame how Extra, TMZ and Access is destroying this young lady. She is a human being
and I do not know anything about her mothering skills. There should be a law about photographers harassing stars in public. They are public figures, but once again there should be boundaries. It seems that Britney Spears can not go anywhere without photographers in her face. How can anyone live any type of life with that type of constant scrutiny. I hope she learns how to cope with the constant scrutiny and regain control of her life.

I think that she is getting everything that she deserves. It is time for her to grow up and start thinking of her boy’s who will have to grow up knowing what kind of mom she was. I have 3 children and would fight Heaven and Earth to keep them but thats me. I guess her parting and drugs came fisrt in her life and whatever time she had left was for the boy’s. Ya Brit :you did it again: Just to see you on t.v or hear you on the radio makes me sick. When I go to bed at night I hold my children instead of a bottle,,,,try it you may even like it. I never did like you and I still don’t. I hope that you have learn abit here ,,,very unlikely though but if you did give up your kids so that they can have a real family life and get on with your life. I’m so sick of seeing ungreatful kids like you and the others on the shelves at the stores. Why can’t they have the men and women that are fighting for your country and how they are missing their families and wishing they had the chance to hold their childen everyday, wondering if they will ever see them again,,,,now that is worth reading at the checkouts while waiting in line. I guess that the States should put you over in their shoes in the front lines so they can come home to be with loved ones. I can go on and on here about her but all I got to sya is thank God she is in your country and not mine where our children come first,,,it’s called a family.

Brit had enough chances to show that she is a good mother. But good mother doesn’t go out and party every weekend, and miss her drug screening and not take her parenting classes.That tells me that keeping those kids were notthat important to her. Did she think she could buy the judgeoff? A lot of people blame the paparazzi and KFed and I’m pretty sure her closest friends were telling her that and thinks she’ll get off easy, honestly Brit has to own her part. All the warnings were there when she got invovled with a man who had a second baby on the way and left his girlfriend for her. Didn’t anyone say to her getting invlolved with him wasn’t a good idea. She didn’t listen. I do think Kfed wants her money of course. But he is more stable than she is right now. I think those kids should have gon to Brittany’s mom. She truly cares for them, with or w/out the money. Someone needs to watch out for those kids and I’m glad the judge made the right decision

She definitely deserves it. She is a totally unfit mother. She just had those kids to get attention, the same reason she does everything else she does. Brit doesn’t even seem to care; as usual, she was out doing the town on the night that the kids were taken from her. That says everything.
