Why Moms Hate Britney Spears

Jane Meyer
The media and paparazzi have received an endless supply of content and photos from the problems of Britney Spears. Everyone seems to love to hate her. If you type the phrase "Why we hate Britney Spears" into Google, 472,000 results are located on the web. That's a lot of people who feel the same way about her.

I actually feel sorry for her in that she suffers from mental illness. However, as a mother, the way she has treated her children, Sean Preston and Jayden, is truly unforgivable. To dig a little deeper, let's first look at her estimated annual income. According to an article from November 2007, published on the website CNNMoney.com, Spears earns approximately $737,000 per month. That equals $8.8 million per year!

Most mothers who are not celebrities do not earn that kind of income. You have to wonder how she can be so averse to being a mother when she has unlimited resources in which to make herself and her kids happy. Even if she decided to take several years off from her career, the income streams would still be flowing in from all directions. My guess is that she had children for reasons other than truly wanting to be a mother. Maybe she wanted to make Kevin Federline a more loyal boyfriend/father. Maybe she did it for publicity or maybe she didn't mean to get pregnant in the first place.

There are two main incidents and images that most mothers can't get out of their minds. The first one is a picture printed in the tabloids of Britney in a lavish backyard swimming pool standing on the side of the pool and looking out to the side. One of the children was in an inflatable tube and was floating in the shallow water. In the picture, no one was watching the kid. The child was just floating in the pool and it looked like he was in great danger.

The other incident was recorded in the shocking world-famous photo of baby Sean Preston sitting on Britney's lap while she was driving. For mothers everywhere, that was outrageous. We absolutely couldn't believe that she could think that the image was a cute picture or remotely funny.

The worst gossip of all was published on the respectable new website MSNBC.com on August 15, 2007. The story said, "When Britney is upset, she yells and screams at the boys and once told them, 'You were both mistakes!' She's called them 'burdens, a pain in the a-- and the reason (your) father left', claims the source."

This is absolutely horrible behavior! No mother should ever treat her kids in the manner Britney acts towards her adorable little sons. Unless she miraculously starts to love these kids, they will grow up feeling abandoned by their mother. That's why moms hate Britney and can't get over it.
