I think everyone's being very unfair to her. I think Chris Crocker had the right idea.Who else thinks Britney Spears is a good parent?
Everyone fails to mention the other zillion mothers out there, who are party'n... doing drugs.. neglecting their children... those people could live down the street from us... or be our next door neighbors!
She's in the spotlight all the time.. who can judge her other then the big guy upstairs?
All us mothers out there know we are NOT perfect. (well, the ones that are level headed) We all have all problems time to time. I know im not perfect. But.. i dont have the paparazzi on my tail... there for.. im a ';good'; mother.. right?
I hope she gets help.. so she can return to her children. Lets think about these poor kids! Ultimately, it's them that is the most important.Who else thinks Britney Spears is a good parent?
I think she could be a good parent
right now she is a no idea parent
I wouldn't exactly call her a parent since she seems to be out doing all the things that young, single, non-parents do. Yeah, it's cool to go and hang out when you have kids but she's taken it to the extreme. And she needs to get some serious help for the problems that she does have. She's just not acting very responsible. Things like this happen all the time....many parents lose their children for the same type of behavior. Just because she's a celebrity shouldn't make her any different. JMO
Hello but umm a woman who walks around half naked, strolls out of cars without undies on and who hits cars and then walks away oh and who drives around with there kid on thier lap while driving is NOT a good parent. A good parent is most of all, a good role model - which she is NOT.
my dog doesn't even think she's a good parent and he licks his a**. she is the opposite of what a good parent is
if drug addiction, law breaking, party animals are your basis of good parenting skills, than by all means giver her the crown. her life is on film darn near 24/7 yes it is expected that you would catch a misshap here or there but as many miss haps as she has had no wonder she lost her kids.
I think that people need to quit putting Britney under a microscope. I mean, if Kfed thought that Britney was a bad mother then why didn't this come up while they were together. None of this was brought up until she filed for full custody. In all the interviews with Kfed while they were together he said nothing except how great a mother she was.
I personally believe that those boys are $$$$ to Kfed and Britney didn't pay him what he wanted. I also think that Britney may just be suffering from PPD. If she could stay out of the public long enough to get help I think she could get her life back on track and get her boys back.
We should have seen this coming when she married a loser like Federline. She has made lousy decisions since she was an adult.
She's a great parent, as long as she doesn't have custody!
I'm soooo out of the loop when it comes to Britney Spears. I don't even know who this Chris Crocker is???
EDIT: I'm feeling old!!!!
`
a good parent is one who gives 100% love to there kids and puts them first and themselves last. Did she do any of these things no!!!
sorry, who is that?
None of us know what goes on behind closed doors, but I would not consider repeated rehab stints, erratic behaviour and 'alcohol and controlled substance usage' as stated by the courts, as hallmarks of a good mother.
Britney's got big, big problems right now.
I agree
Britney Spears is a good parent, Chris Crocker is a a$$hole
Much of her behavior that is being criticized was not around her children, but she has ignored all of the things that would have helped her case. I feel she has been exploited, but she needs to grow up and take responsibility now.
I love britney and I think she just need a little time to fiqure out who she is. I hope she comes around and do what's right for her kids. She is portrayed in the media as someone who doesn't seem to care. Right now she's going through a lot. We don't know what's going on behind close doors so I don't wanna be the one to judge her I just pray for her. She'll come around for the sake of her kids.
fine outstanding example of bra and panty dancing on the mva awards. kudos to britney, and poo on that dog kevin
i agree she is just misunderstood
never heard of Britney spears. sorry
She and Michael Jackson...
Are you out of your mind???
Yeah,agree

How is genetic information passed on from a parent to a child?
Genetic information is passed form two parents to a child if the reproduction is sexual as in humans and other mammels. In the case of asexual reproduction, only one parent passes his genes to the child.
We carry billions of copies of ourselves encoded in the brilliant information storage gadget called DNA. DNA is stored in chromosomes inside cell nuclei. When sexual reproduction takes place, half of the genes of male and half of the female parent are mixed in the embryo. A DNA can replicate itself, so as cells replicate, DNA also gets replicated, and we carry the genes of both our parents at the time of birth.
However we get the characteristics of our uncle and aunties as well as gene expression takes place : )How is genetic information passed on from a parent to a child?
Mitosis Look it up....
The primary result of mitosis is the division of the parent cell's genome into two daughter cells. The genome is composed of a number of chromosomes, complexes of tightly-coiled DNA that contain genetic information vital for proper cell function. Because each resultant daughter cell should be genetically identical to the parent cell, the parent cell must make a copy of each chromosome before mitosis. This occurs during S phase, in interphase, the period that precedes the mitotic phase in the cell cycle where preparation for mitosis occurs.[5]
Each new chromosome now contains two identical copies of itself, called sister chromatids, attached together in a specialized region of the chromosome known as the centromere. Each sister chromatid is not considered a chromosome in itself, and a chromosome does not always contain two sister chromatids.
In most eukaryotes, the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the cytoplasm disassembles. The chromosomes align themselves in a line spanning the cell. Microtubules, essentially miniature strings, splay out from opposite ends of the cell and shorten, pulling apart the sister chromatids of each chromosome.[6] As a matter of convention, each sister chromatid is now considered a chromosome, so they are renamed to sister chromosomes. As the cell elongates, corresponding sister chromosomes are pulled toward opposite ends. A new nuclear envelope forms around the separated sister chromosomes.
As mitosis completes cytokinesis is well underway. In animal cells, the cell pinches inward where the imaginary line used to be, (the pinching of the cell membrane to form the two daughter cells is called cleavage furrow) separating the two developing nuclei. In plant cells, the daughter cells will construct a new dividing cell wall between each other. Eventually, the mother cell will be split in half, giving rise to two daughter cells, each with an equivalent and complete copy of the original genome.
Prokaryotic cells undergo a process similar to mitosis called binary fission. However, prokaryotes cannot be properly said to undergo mitosis because they lack a nucleus and only have a single chromosome with no centromere.How is genetic information passed on from a parent to a child?

In the state of Wisconsin can you get a tattoo if you are 16 and have parent consent?
My friend on her 16th birthday got one with parent consent.In the state of Wisconsin can you get a tattoo if you are 16 and have parent consent?
Chapter 948, section 70 of the state criminal code says that tattooing a child is a violation of law. There's no exception for parental consent.
There is an exception -- a physician can tattoo a child as part of their professional practice.In the state of Wisconsin can you get a tattoo if you are 16 and have parent consent?
Can you? Yes. Should you? No. If you can't wait to get something permanent on you body, then you shouldn't get it at all. Most tattoo parlors will not accept it even with consent because it's a big reliability. And the ones that do you usually don't want to get one done there.
I waited 4 years for my first tattoo and it turned out great.
Apparently, if your friend lives in Wisconsin and she got one.

Regarding child custody, does the 13 year old child have to go visit the non-custodial parent on weekends?
The child normally goes to the father's home every other weekend. The mother is keeping the child at home saying ';she does not want to see her father.'; Does the 13 year old child have to go?Regarding child custody, does the 13 year old child have to go visit the non-custodial parent on weekends?
If the child really does not want to go then she shouldn't have to go. You'd have to have a conversation with the child.Regarding child custody, does the 13 year old child have to go visit the non-custodial parent on weekends?
not unless a judge says so. im 14 and my parents are divorced. thankfully tho we were able to avoid a court custody case. my parents were able to work it out themselves. the child does not have to go if she doesnt want to unless is it court orderd that she go with the father on weekends.
If you went to court and the judge say so, and you have the order, you can go and pick her up, and have the ex called the cops
The cops will tell the mother, that she has to go. It's in the custody agreement, and to change it she will have to take you to court
At 13, she may have plans with her friends, and it get hard for them, if you live in a different town
You should talk to the child before you go and do the cop thing
.I would call your ex, and tell her that you are taking her the next weekend, and you need to talk to the child alone. She needs to explain things to you(the daughter, not the ex)
You really need to talk to the child
It could be that she just want to spend time with her friends
You could work with that, maybe one night on the weekend, not the whole weekend
You remember being 13
You get dinner with her twice a month
http://www.dads-space.com/Howtocopeifyou鈥?/a>
but i think it's generally considered to be a child's right
and not a parents right...
If they haven't gone to court for it, then it's the parent's decision TOGETHER where the child goes.
And also, if it is true that the teenager wants to stay with the mom, then she doesn't have to go.
But going every other weekend does make things easier for everyone and more organized.
But if they ever did go to court, then the child gets to say where she wants to live unless the mother is ';unfit'; (example: she does drugs, has different men coming in or out of her house, or a really bad alcoholic, etc).
I think the child can decide where he/she wants to go. I'm not totally for sure on that though so you might want to ask a lawyer. I was 16 when my parents got divorced so they couldn't do the custody fight over me cuz I did what I wanted to do.
if she wants to go, and their is no history of abuse or rape or anything that bad, then the mom has to let her. if the child really doesnt want to go then no they dont.

How do I go about being a good parent?
My son's due Valentine's Day, and I'm extremely nervous. Everyone's telling me that I'll be a great dad, but I'm SO nervous, because I'm so young, and it's my first child. We're keeping him, so I'd like to know what I should do to go about being a good dad.How do I go about being a good parent?
It shows by the very fact that you are nervous that you are going to do great. I would recommend some reading...my favorite was by a British lady named Penelope Leach. Her books about raising children were great. Also Dr. Brazelton is fabulous.
Never hitting is a very big one. Although challenging you really need to find some creative and alternative ways to make a negative into a positive, especially with little guys, under 5 or even older.
If you are a happy, safe, caring human being, which I can tell that you are...just being around and for your Baby to have someone to say ';this is my Dad';, is the greatest gift you can give.
I wish more people were as excited and concerned about parenting like you.
Bless your Heart,
SarahJaneHow do I go about being a good parent?
They say that when a mom to be worries about being a good mother that she should not that it comes naturally I believe that that goes the same for new DADS. I think that you will may a great father. The fact that your worrying about already makes you a great dad. The best advice I can give and please no matter what always follow this advice:
Play with your child. Play cars, or barbies, or whatever toys they have play with them, swing them around, laugh with them, cry with them, always listen to them. Take them for bike rides or go skating with them
Trial and error. That's how you get to be a good parent. Everyone who i think is a good parent did not become that way as soon as the child exited the womb, it took years of practice. For me to be a good parent I first have to love my children over everything else in this world (after God). I also have to be flexible and willing to change something if it doesn't work. Last, pick your battles with your son. Not everything is worth an argument.
Start watching those whose parenting styles you like and see what they do with their kids, watch kids and parents together and see how they treat each other. I am a big watcher, I like to see people doing things so I can make the choice whether or not to be like them or not. Unfortunately, most of the parents in my family are teaching me what NOT to do with my kids. Utilize your parents (if you trust them and for the most part agree with how you were raised). Don't be afraid to ask questions.
You'll be fine. I think worrying about it already shows you care which is really the most important thing with kids, love them! Feel free to check out parenting websites, www.babycenter.com and read the articles on babies and kids, if you are the reading type and feel you can gain from those sources.
Congrats, Daddy!
Spend as much time as you can with him/her. Read him books, play with him, talk to him, etc... Don't yell, scream, or hit. Always use a firm and gentle voice. Most importantly, help out with the baby as much as you can, your wife will need a lot of rest to recover. Offer to change diapers, do the dishes, cook, give baby a bath, etc... You will be deeply appreciated, trust me. Hope this helps. Good luck :)
All you can really do is always try to do the best for your child. Take some classes on child care, as there are a lot of things to learn! Simple things like bathing, and more complicated things like helping your children stay healthy are important to learn.
Valentine's day is my dad's birthday! Was your dad a good dad to you? It's okay that you're scared, all new dads are scared, so don't feel bad about being nervous. Just listen to your kid. That's the best advice I can give you.
Just try and raise him to be a decent human being. No suspensions in HS or jail time before 18. lol.I'm sure you'll be fine.
just take care of him. buy it clothes and food and try to be a good role model
.
Do your best. That is all that matters.

how can i do for re status of parent of irish born child?
i am from argentina i am in this country Ireland for 1 year and half.and i have a Beautiful baby 8 weeks ago but am no legal at the moment how can i sorted my situation.my partner is irish as well.please i need information. how can i do for re status of parent of irish born child?
If your partner is Irish, then the child is apparently entitled to Irish citizenship but if you %26amp; your partner are not married there may be issues around guardianship %26amp; custody which you need to look into properly:

Would you intervene in the raising of another parent's children, and if so in what cases?
Right then folks, now that some of us are older and wiser what would you do? Views tvm.Would you intervene in the raising of another parent's children, and if so in what cases?
I have custody of my grandkids. My son and his wife are both meth addicts. When the kids were born, they dropped them off and were gone again.
I have had both children their whole lives. And I thank God that they at least had the sense to bring them to me. They are my world. Chase 5 and Bella just turned three.Would you intervene in the raising of another parent's children, and if so in what cases?
This is indeed a difficult one. The only times I have done so is when it concerns me. If the child has been disrespectful, yes, I have a few words with the Mom/Dad.
I have a big problem at the moment with a neighbor who does not put her children in seat belts, when her children get into my car, seat belts are to be worn, they do not want to put them on, so I must pull over and let the kids cry and yell and carry on until they remain in the seat belts, I have had to turn around and take my friend and her children home because of this. This causes a big problem between myself and friend, but no one gets into my car without the seat belt on. Where I live it is a law, end of conversation.
If it was so obvious that that parent had to do a bit more parenting,
and less ignoring of the child, I might say something, if I thought that
child could be harmed in some way. For instance, many years ago
when my best friend left her child alone after school while she was
at work, I observed, he was out running around down the street with
much bigger boys. He was five years old, and was home unsupervised.
I would see him outside further down than he should be. And I mentioned it to my friend. Who felt she could trust her little boy to
make the right decisions. I gathered she felt I should mind my own
business, but I knew I was far more protective of my children and
would not allow them out of the back yard. Now today, she says she
had her mother in law babysitting after school. And at the time, that
wasn't true at all. I was a stay at home mom, so I saw him and
heard him so often. Generally if I thought a childs' activity could put
him in harms way, I might mention my fear to the parent today. Other-
wise, I'd try to ignore it, to avoid getting a lecture LOL.
I did. The smaller children were left with the older children who were doing drugs, stealing bikes, etc. I tried talking to the parents first, then I called child protective services. It was supposed to be confidential. It wasn't. They gave them my name! Now one of the older children is in jail, which backs me up.
my daughter and her husband 2 kids live with my wife and i, they are great parents many times i have to just go back to our sitting room, and bite my tongue when they are correcting one of my grand daughters because it hurts my feelings to see them upset, but i realize i'm looking through gram pas eyes so i stay out of it
If the parent could not look after them and asked me to do so. If they were my God children and not being raised as christians. If they were in danger. If they were my relatives and their parents died or could not look after them.
I'd intervene in raising my grandchildren, if something happened to my sons %26amp; their wives. I'd raise them just as I raised my sons, because they are raising their children, just as they were raised. What greater compliment could they pay me %26amp; their father?
Only if I thought the child was being abused in some way. There may be times I did not agree with the parents form of discipline etc but you have to remember that it is their child and you have to respect their views.
I would intervene only in the case of child abuse or some other illegal conduct by the parent.
In child rearing everyone has a different opinion.
And we also know that opinions are like anuses, everyone has one.
No! I am long past the child rearing age and it wouldn't be good for me or for the children. Maybe a college student but not little ones when you can't remember which drawer you left them in.
If a child was abused in any way I would notify Children Protective Services.
If one of my siblings died or was incapacitated I was help raise their children.
Abuse should never be allowed to continue.
NO - NEVER - that's considered Meddling!
CJ
nope just like i would never try to break up a fight between a man and wife!!!
OH no, not at this stage of life!

my daughter and her husband 2 kids live with my wife and i, they are great parents many times i have to just go back to our sitting room, and bite my tongue when they are correcting one of my grand daughters because it hurts my feelings to see them upset, but i realize i'm looking through gram pas eyes so i stay out of it
If the parent could not look after them and asked me to do so. If they were my God children and not being raised as christians. If they were in danger. If they were my relatives and their parents died or could not look after them.
I'd intervene in raising my grandchildren, if something happened to my sons %26amp; their wives. I'd raise them just as I raised my sons, because they are raising their children, just as they were raised. What greater compliment could they pay me %26amp; their father?
Only if I thought the child was being abused in some way. There may be times I did not agree with the parents form of discipline etc but you have to remember that it is their child and you have to respect their views.
I would intervene only in the case of child abuse or some other illegal conduct by the parent.
In child rearing everyone has a different opinion.
And we also know that opinions are like anuses, everyone has one.
No! I am long past the child rearing age and it wouldn't be good for me or for the children. Maybe a college student but not little ones when you can't remember which drawer you left them in.
If a child was abused in any way I would notify Children Protective Services.
If one of my siblings died or was incapacitated I was help raise their children.
Abuse should never be allowed to continue.
NO - NEVER - that's considered Meddling!
