Okay, I’m going to say it.

I feel sorry for Britney Spears. I really do. Being the center of attention, whether it’s bad or good, can’t be easy. It’s hard enough being a mom without adding paparazzi, the public eye and constant judging by others. I imagine it makes people do crazy things they might not do if they lived a more normal life. But who knows, maybe she’d be just as messed up if she had never been in the spotlight.

No, I don’t think she should get her kids back, not yet, she messed up too many times, but I can only begin to imagine what she’s feeling now. How devastating to be told by a judge, and by the world in general, that you are a sucky mom. A bad mom. A mom so bad you’re a danger to your own kids. A mom so terrible that K-fed gets them instead. That says A LOT.

Britney, get your crap together. Straighten up, get the help you need and start being a mom. Because while I feel bad for you now, I certainly won’t if you don’t take this chance to be the mom your sons need you to be. You’re only 25, you have plenty of time to decide to take control of your life. It’s not just about you you you now. There are two other little lives at stake here.

Those adorable boys of yours? They will grow up fast, faster than you can imagine. Do you want them to be raised by a drug-using, alcohol-abusing, crotch-flashing, head-shaving, law-breaking, washed-up mom who hangs out with all the wrong people? I didn’t think so. But that’s what you are. But you can fix this. You can do it but YOU have to do it, no one else can do it for you.

Maybe this will be the wake-up call you desperately need because apparently, you’ve not listened to anyone else in your life when they told you how badly you were screwing up.

Those boys deserve to have a mom whose number one goal is taking care of THEM and you should be the one doing it.
