Just saw the news flash that Britney has given K-fed full custody of her two boys. I assume with these custody type things that they can change over time. In other words, if Britney is deemed capable in a year or two, she can start sharing custody again. We haven’t seen much of Britney these days — seems like she has been lying low and taking care of herself with the help of her dad. Thank goodness she seems to be back on track, but I guess not quite enough to have two little boys in her full care.
I just find it all so sad. A pop star who never had much of a childhood herself has kids waaaaayyyy too young and then is saddled with these two little lives. Is her ex (Kevin) really that capable or is it just the lesser of two evils? Can he raise two little boys? I’m sure there is lots of help around in the form of nannies, maybe even a grandmother of two, but still, is someone making sure that they go to a good preschool? That they’re eating well? Going to bed at a reasonable hour? Reading to them? Doing activities other than spending days at Toys R Us?
Britney, we’re pulling for you. Get yourself together and then focus on those two kids. They didn’t ask to be brought into this world. You’ve got the means to give them a great life. Being a parent is really hard, maybe even harder than producing a multi-platinum album. It’s humbling, but it’s also the one thing you will leave behind that people will remember.
