The National Enquirer has gotten a hold of Lynne Spears’ book, Through the Storm: A Real Tale Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World, before its September 16th release date and published a few of Lynne’s parenting tips.
Brit Brit started hitting the bottle at the age of 13. This was right after she joined The Mickey Mouse Club. Lynne said she really didn’t care as long as she was around while Brit drank. Don’t blame Lynne! I bet you Donald Duck gave Brit her first Jack & Coke. He’s a drunken mess!
When Brit was 14, she started dating some 18-year-old high school football player. Lynne encouraged it because she thought it would make Britney more popular. She even let her stay over the dude’s house. Well, that dude ended up taking little Britney’s virginity when she was just 14.
Brit went to Los Angeles to record her first album when she was 15. That’s when she started doing drugs. Lynne thought she was going through typical teenage issues. A year later, Britney was caught with coke and weed while trying to board a private jet. She was 16… not so typical.
That same year, Brit started sleeping with Justin Timberlake. Lynne let them to sleep together in Britney’s room. She said she knew they were doing it, but allowed it because Britney was “in love” and thought that JT was good for her.
Lynne claims she is now sorry for the way Britney was exploited, but she doesn’t claim to have had any part in it. She blames it solely on Britney’s management, who Lynne says controlled her life and sexualized her.
It makes me mad that Lynne is trying to wipe her hands clean from Britney’s reckless behavior and poor life choices. Who is really that naive to not see that your own daughter’s behavior wasn’t normal, healthy nor safe? The fault definitely does not fall completely on Hollywood.
I believe that Lynne’s poor mothering skills will bite her in the ass some day. We have already seen what being a daughter of Lynne’s is like: you become crazy and have a mental break down, or you become a teen mother and probably not completely right in the head, too. And while she is turning her cheek to your bad behavior, she will, in due time, throw you under the bus by revealing to the world all your mistakes and why you are as messed up as you are, and try to claim innocence.
She makes me sick. This book is all for the money and attention. She should be ashamed of herself.

First of all the peron who wrote the article above has obviously NOT even read the book, it’s not available yet and we all know how the media is even if someone at a newspaper/magazine had gotten a hold of a portion of that book it was twisted and taken out of context to fit their needs and increase sales. And “THE NATIONAL INQUIRE”????? Really?? Give me a brake.
In the book Lynne is not pushing all the blame off on Hollywood, or Britney’s managers, she is in part blaming them b/c when she couldn’t be there 24/7 she trusted people whom she had come to know who she thought her daughters best interest was at heart who told her Britney would taken care of. Lynne took responsibility in that book. She is trying to show the world that her family is human just like everyone else and just b/c they are a famous family does not mean herself or her children don’t make mistakes just like everybody else, they just have 15 paps following them all the time to document every possible mistake that could be made and turn it into news of the day! I would really like to know where the info that she takes no responsibility came from b/c she clearly states in the book that she’s made countless mistakes as a mother and has tons of regret, and even goes on to tell them. I really wish people would lay off this family. We as humans have all gone through really rough times in our lives this family is no different. I get that when you decide to take on being a celebrity there are certain things that come with the teritory BUT not being able to grieve in private, not being able to have something really devastating happen and deal with it w/o it becoming headline news, or not being able to make mistakes as a parent which we all do everyday w/o being deemed unfit is wrong and crosses the line. Who are we to cast judgement upon Britney or any memeber of her family for making some of the same mistakes we all make all the time. Just b/c our faults, or mistakes aren’t publicized DOES NOT mean they don’t happen. I just wish them peace and time for healing. They’ll get there if the stick together. Much Love.

I feel for Britney, a mother is supposed to be your everything. To be betrayed by the person who brought you into this world and is supposed to be your protector is the very person she can’t trust or rely on. No wonder she has had issues…..the poor girl is alone and afraid. Every step she takes is judged and a mother is the guide except in this case Lynn is living her life through Britney and walking away when she is needed, or turning a blind ear and eye to her daughters struggles. Lynn only seems to be around when there is fame and fortune but absent when there is the true need for a mother. Britney hang in there! There are people who care and like me may have never met you, but wish you the best!
