I don't think people should judge Britney Spears, as all moms make mistakes with their children. Just because she is a celebrity, it doesn't mean she is not fit to be a mother. I think she is a good mom that loves her son a lot, and is really anticipating the birth of the next one. You see pictures, videos, and read articles about Sean Preston, but stuff like that happens to almost every baby. At a point of time, every baby must have fallen down or hit his head, or cried so much their parent took them out of the carseat. Normally, when you hear like your friend's moms telling stories of dropping their kids when they were younger, you just laugh about it, and forget about it the next minute. With Britney, people judge and wonder whether she is a good mom, and that hurts when people do things like that. Stop judging celebrities, and really, not everything in magazines are true.

I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt. Let's look her 3 big public mistakes:
1) She's at Starbucks and has paparazzi running to her and her screaming child. She wants to get her baby out of there as soon as possible. Was she right, no, but it's not because her son was in her lap. So many of us do that. I used to "drive" my parents' cars all the time! The difference is, she was a highway and I was on my parents' property.
2) Her son was in a front facing carseat and under one. My son has always been big (he was 10lbs 4oz when he was born) and he grew out of his infant car seat at 3 1/2 months. I got him a new one that could be rear or front facing. His legs got too long by the time he was 8 months and they were squished up. I talked to a police officer doing carseat checks and they told me to turn it around. My son was too big to be rear facing.
3) She tripped and her baby almost fell. The first time I took my son home (my husband was off training) I had an accident myself. I was walking into the house and I suppose I didn't lift my foot enough and I tripped on the concrete of the porch. I twisted trying to land on my butt but my son did get hurt. I scrapped my right elbow and left knee (should show how I was trying to twist while falling) and my poor little guy scrapped his ankle. He was a month old so I was still emotional and I was crying harder than him. I called my mom in tears! She was about an hour away so her friend came over to help. I didn't even know my arm was cover in blood (from my elbow) until she pointed it out, I was too focused on my son. As soon as she calmed me down, my son calmed down.
So, yes she has made mistakes. Every parent has. I think the media is picking on her and need to stop.

She's probably as good a mom as any other mom in her early 20's. The only difference is that other young mothers don't have the entire world watching them every moment and every little accident broadcast throughout the nation. All new moms make mistakes.

Well actaully I think that she is probly doing no different then most parents I know... and I know alot.... Most parents will take there kids out without being in a car seat at some point in time... Most just don't think about it... They take them out to feed them or they just wont be quite so they will take them out of the seat to make the child happy.... They just don't have a camra on them...
So lets not be so quick to udge her... No one truly see's how good or bad of a parent she is... they just see what they can see on tv and hear what they say and repeat it... Come on people... For a change lets not just take want the meda says and pass it off as truth.

She is a young mother with the tabloids accentuating every flaw she has. Is she a good mother? I cannot answer that until I see the good side. To her credit, she does not pawn her son off on a nanny and that husband of hers is not much of a support system either.

Know one can judge her and say shes a bad or good mom because none of you know her like that . everyone makes mistakes with there child, the car thing was a bad mistake, but put yourself in her shoes, what would you do? you might say put the baby in the car seat first , but you dont know if that would be your first reaction if your in a panic. alot of people drop there baby, etc. you dont find out because there not celebs.

No she probably has a nanny taking care of her baby and she was driving with the baby in the front seat with her holding him, do you think a good mother would do that. She probably did it because she didn't know how to work the car seat.

It's hard to know. Living in the celebrity spotlight makes everything strange for people, and moms of young babies are often very emotionally vulnerable.
I think she loves her baby and that's the most important thing.

Judge not lest ye be judged.
Anyway, we would need to see her at home to know that. However, driving with your kid on your lap is dangerous and reckless. She's going to be interviewed tonight by Matt Lauer on NBC. It looks like she requested the interview so she could clear her name.
I'll be watching.
