I was watching VH1's Child Star Parents Exposed, and they started talking about the poster child of child stars gone wrong, Drew Barrymore. When I was watching it, I realized that the problem was that Drew's mother was a party girl herself. She had no concept of motherhood and would have rather been at the club partying, even if that included having her 10 year old daughter there at her side. I think that if Britney would have been able to keep her children, they would have been in a very similar situation that Drew was in. Luckily for Drew, she was strong enough to know how to get out of it, but how can you take that chance with someone else. It's best the children are not raised in that kind of environment.

Lisa B - You're right, we don't have the whole story, and I'm starting to think that Britney has replaced Michael Jackson in the feeding frenzy of the media. However, unlike Michael (and the question is not about him, so please new answerers leave him out of the picture) Britney has drug problems, and parties too much, they are both known facts and they are both bad examples for children growing up in that setting.

It's hard to say because we only get information from tabloids, TMZ, Perez Hilton, etc. It's hard to say how much of that is truth and how much is rumor. But the courts go by facts and evidence so there must be something there. I'm thinking maybe Britney wasn't quite ready for motherhood. She was a child star and probably didn't go through that rebellious stage that most of us go through in our teen years. She seems to be going through a "delayed rebellion". I think you're on target when you say she has no concept of motherhood. Maybe she should have waited a few more years until she was mature enough and ready enough to start a family. But I hope she can work through whatever problems she's having for the sake of her kids and for herself.

You talked about Drew Barrymore's parents but you didn't mention Britney's parents. Britney has been in the show biz business a long time starting when she was very young on the Mickey Mouse club. When children becomes stars quickly and out of the blue like Britney they tend to be overcompensated. They are not taught the word no from their parents because it is all new to the parents also to be able to buy and do whatever they choose. Britney came from a small town in Louisiana. I lived in Louisiana from the time that I was 7 to the the time that I was 16 I then moved away and returned for 2 years recently. (I am 36) The way Britney is , is common down there. Now I am not saying that all people from Louisiana are like this but a lot of them are. (From my experience) Drinking, kids riding in the parents lap as they drive, smoking, partying, walking around barefoot even into stores, etc. It is an everyday occurance down south and no one bats an eye. I mean think about it. Louisiana has drive thru liquou stores and diaquri huts. Louisiana has more State holidays than there are days in the year. So when you take a person from an enviroment where these things are common and you put that person in an enviroment where their common behavior is now deemed stupid, nasty, trashy etc, and on top of that you are in the lime light you are asking for trouble. None of us know what kind of parent she truly is. We do not live with her or around her. We have not been to her home or she to ours. We only can base our opinions on what the rag mags and the media tell us. They are going to tell us whatever they think will sell the magazine or get more people to watch. Yes she goes out and drinks. So do many other single mothers in the world and single fathers. Yes she made some mistakes the baby in her lap while driving, the almost slip and fall with the baby in her arms., What new parent hasn't done something that when looking back can be called not to smart. And really the kids were taken from her and placed with Kevin the father. What kind of role model is he? He left his other girlfriend to be with Britney when Shar was pregnant with his child, He also goes out and drinks and parties. He brought the kids to Vegas with a nanny so that he could attend a party. Why is that any different? I personally think that both of them need parenting classes.

Actually, Drew Barrymore is still kinda weird. I remember reading an article about her years ago and some things shocked me.
But I hope Britney will get her act together for the sake of her children. As a mom, it would KILL me if my child was ever taken from me. I don't see how she can stand it. If it's not torturing her then she don't deserve them back.

I`ll be short...Britney`s problem is an old one..so...i think that she needs help,support.Now her sister is helping her.I think that is a great idea!Let`s forget the past `cause she is a human.Her problems now are her babies.We shouldn`t put the blame on her!The problem is her ex-husband Federline!before she met him was an idol!Everybody loved her!Her albums were in tops,she looked fantastic!So...I didn`t want to say that she is innocent...that she didn`t anything.She must fight for her babies.She must work with her album...to let her hair to grow...she must begin to be serios with everthing.She missed her "coming" at VMA...so`...i feel sorry for her..but is life!she should grow up and think at her priorites!

Britney clearly has a drug problem, and could be a danger to her children. Drew is lucky to be alive after all her drug abuse.

britney spears was a product. and now that she's on her own, she's spiraling out of control. people believed she wouldn't make a comeback after bad press after another..but look how great and strong her music career is after releasing her fifth number 1 consecutive album "blackout".
her career is definitely on track but i think its time for her to focus on her kids a little more these days..iam afraid she'll one day end up alone and lonely.

I wish that EVERYONE COULD LEAVE MJ AND BRITNEY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need some peace once in their lives! People spend time saying bad things about them when they don't even take a time to remember that they are having issues at this moment in their lives. (not MJ lol). But it just gets on my nerves how they say things about her, and put her on EVERY SINGLE GOSSIP MAGAZINE!!!!!!! UGH!
