Britney Spears wants to whiten son's teeth
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors
When I had my first son I was pretty clueless. I was 22 and not completely prepared for the 24/7 responsibility of raising a another human being. However, after a 36 hour labor and spending several days in the hospital while he and I stayed up every night getting to know one another, I was ready to go. I knew that my life was forever changed and that I would spend the rest of my days making sure his world was safe. So if I, and so many other women in the world, could change our lives to raise a child I'm wondering what in the world is wrong with Britney Spears? She's a young mother surrounded by all sorts of people wanting to give her advice, why aren't they advising her?Spears' latest brush with judgment and absurdity stems form her older son's teeth issues. It is rumored that at just 22 months Sean Preston is having problems because his mother's method of dealing with a fussy child is to stick a bottle of juice in his mouth. Spears also is rumored to have asked her dentist if he would whiten Sean Preston's teeth. The juice part is just lazy but the whiter teeth thing is flat out inappropriate.
The unfortunate part of Spears spiral of weirdness is that her sons are the ones suffering from her impulsive and destructive decisions. She is obviously more than a little off center from her immense fame but it is a shame that her boys have to endure the bizarre trappings of her lifestyle.

me said...Yes, she's made mistakes. Dumb ones at that.
But the outrage is not proportionate to the offense. Check out the covers of Us and Life and Style. The children are on the cover with the hysterical caption "Help!" See link: http://www.usmagazine.com/cover_story_6
It's like, okay, Us is calling out Britney Spears for endangering her children (as the "help!" caption connotes), while Us exploits her children for financial gain. Beyond the pale.
Britney's children are safe and loved and that's what matters.
Also in Britney's defense: it doesn't appear that she relies heavily on a nanny, if at all. Given her resources, she should be credited with being hands on. To take it to the next level, she's got to read up on parenting though. But we all live and learn.

Just Mee said...TO further the comment above... this is printed in a gossip rag. We all know they are ALWAYS truthful right??? Ummm.. no they aren't. This could be a load of bull and not TRUE. Yeah she's a whack at times but there's what the public sees and reality... this is likely not reality
