Why It's Hard To Get Along With Your In-Laws
Britney Spears Bored With Her Structured Life
Filed under: Celeb Parents
Britney Spears has something to say about her new, more structured life. In typical Britney style, she's not holding anything back:"I think it's too in-control," she says in Britney: For the Record, a new documentary about her life. "If I wasn't under the restraints I'm under, I'd feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear but they're not really listening."
"They," I can only assume are her parents and managers. Britney's dad, Jaime Spears, has had control of Britney's estate since her much-publicized meltdown. But far from being grateful for his hand in getting her career back on track and, maybe more importantly, her boys back in her life, Britney takes another shot:
"Even when you go to jail, y'know, there's the time when you're going to get out. But in this situation, it's never-ending. It's just like Groundhog Day' all over again."
Laugh or cry? It's a toss up. Britney's clearly still Britney underneath that toned and cleaned up exterior. But isn't there at least a kernel of truth in her words? Grown-up life is a lot less free and spontaneous than living la vida loca. I'm not so old that I can't remember days that began after 10 A.M. and ended well after last call.
But while responsibility can be a drag, there's contentment in living a thoughtful, measured life, and especially, I think, in raising children. Britney's recovery is in its early stages, and hopefully she'll find that balance between building a structured life for her and her boys and still finding ways fulfill her wild streak at the same time.

Jennifer said...Britney Spears IS right that things need to change. Yes, adulthood is boring and a drag but her life is far too structured. She is not being treated as an adult (granted she hasn't really proven that she is an adult but I, personally, believe that that is because she hasn't had the best adult role models around her. From other stories that I have read Britney is on a strict schedule. She is told when to get up, when to eat, when she is allowed out of the house and most nights it is lights out by 11pm. I realize that she has exhibited irrational behavior in he past but at some point she has to be treated as an adult (and at some point someone needs to show her how to be one.)

LOVINGMOMOF1 said...THIS CHICK IS SO LAME. MY GOD, SHE IS BORED WITH HER LIFE, GIVE ME A BREAK. AS FAR AS BEING ON A SCHEDUAL, WE ARE ALL ON A SCHEDUAL, GET OVER IT. I WORK 3:00AM ON AND THEN SLEEP FOR 4 HOURS AND THEN TAKE CARE OF MY 2 YEAR OLD THE REST OF THE DAY AND WILL BE TAKING ON A SECOND JOB. ALL I SEE HERE IS A TALENTLESS IRRESPONSIBLE UNGRATEFUL S.O.B WHO NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAD KIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE SHE IS TOO STUPID AND SELFISH TO REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM, SHE JUST DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS THE IN THING TO DO. WHAT AN IDIOT. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THOSE KIDS IT MAKES ME SICK. THE BEST THING SHE COULD DO IS GET STERILIZED OR GET LOST, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE

Joy said...Slightly off topic but why is it people feel the need to type in CAPS???
I never read what they write and don't really care what they have to say as I feel I'm being yelled at. Do people not realize this?

Helena said...I can understand her frustration at being kept "on a leash" as it were but there are valid reasons for that. First of all, she had a very public mental meltdown, hooked up with all the wrong men (with her children in her home at the time), and couldnt seem to get on a straight path as far as her career and family life were concerned. It would seem that Daddy Spears was and still is the only one at this time who can FORCE her to behave like an adult!! And being an adult is about accepting responsibility, behaving maturely and putting the needs of your kids (that you chose to have) first and Miss Spears was losing sight of that. I believe she NEEDS to be on a tight schedule for a while, at least until she starts to behave like a 27 year old and not a 15 year on on drugs!!! Just my 2 cents...
