Is Britney Spears a bad example for her children?
Earlier, Gilad posted about Britney Spears telling OK! how she got her great body back. While I was poking around the Internet, I found one mom in a total fury, saying that Brit’s a bad example for her children and that instead of worrying about her appearance, she should only have one thing at the top of her to-do list - to get her kids back.
I doubt very much her two children care if Mama’s got a six-pack–they do care, however, if she’s drinking a six-pack. Britney has many other issues to work on rather than her weight. Here’s a flashback–wasn’t she just recently committed? Any chance an article’s in the works entitled “How Britney Got Her Sanity Back”? Just sayin’.
Well, you know what? I’m a mother too, but I have to disagree. I think Britney actually is indeed setting a good example for her kids. This time last year? No, definitely not. But do you know what she’s teaching her boys right now? She’s teaching them that everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes, and most importantly - when you do make mistakes, you get up, you dust yourself off, and then you take a deep breath and try to change things.
This woman obviously doesn’t follow Britney as closely as she pretends, because Britney actually did get more custody rights not too long ago, and it’s subject to change over time. There’s a good possibility that Britney and Kevin Federline will get joint custody on a 50-50 level if things continue the way they are now, with her being back on track.
No, slimming down is not more important than her kids. But we have to remember, Britney Spears is a celebrity and in celeb-land, how you look is as important as what you do, unfortunate as that may be. The other thing this woman needs to consider is this: When you feel like your life is out of control, sometimes you just have to control the one or two things that you still can. She can’t control the custody right now - that’s up to the judge on the case. But she felt like she can control her diet, so that’s what she’s doing, as well as focusing on a musical comeback. Sometimes when you get control of something, it helps other things fall into place.
I think she makes a far better example by trying her hardest to get herself back together than she would if she crawled off into a cave and felt sorry for herself.
What do you think?
