Shut the Fuck Up!

Why do people hate Britney Spears?
Is it that she achieved fame and fortune by the time she was 18?
Could it be that she hasn't gone into the child star downward spiral of sex, drugs, and alcohol?
Or could it be that we are jealous of what she has?
I think it's the third option.
We don't like Britney Spears for the same reasons we don't lilke Bush, Michael Jackson, and Martha Stewart. It takes more effort to dislike, so we feel like we are doing something constructive.
I don't agree with how Ms. Spears held her child in a car, but it doesn't mean she's a bad parent. If the news media did stories on every reported parent who hadn't properly restrained their child in a moving vehicle, well, we'd have to create a new news channel.
What we want to do is complain and explain how Britney Spears should be thrown in jail. Yeah, that's right. Let Kevin Federine take care of the child 24/7. Believe me, Britney is the better parent regardless.
Parenting is a job that you're never fully prepared for even if you think you are and that never ends. There are no coffee breaks, no vacations and no early retirement. You have good days and you have bad days. Some days, you're an employee of the month candidate and others you feel like you're hanging by a thread. But you get through it.
Britney Spears just wanted to get away from the papparazzis who are now going to act like they are Bill Cosby for taking these pictures.
One time, I was a gas station and a very rude motorist was blessing out a woman who was straping on the seat belts to her children. When she pulled away, she yelled for everyone to hear, "I'm sorry, but I wanted my kids to be safe!" Amen.
People are asking what would happen if she had been in a wreck. Rather than play Monday morning quarterback, use this energy to help actual victims of traffic accidents.
Britney Spears probably has learned her lesson. If anything else, it's made more parents a little more careful with their children in a car.
