A long time ago I had the opinion that Britney was bipolar and I think I was right. I have a daughter suffering from the same mental illness. Britney is not consciously doing all these unusual things to hurt others. Parts of her illness include shaving your head, drinking, drugging, tattooing, etc. This is a way to keep her illness under check. What Britney needs is a psychiatric evaluation and medication to manage her disease. I think her physician should recommend this as soon as possible. I think Britney would be a good mother if she would get the psychiatric help she needs. Also, you might want to see the entire picture before you make judgments of Britney. She is probably scared and confused about her illness. I really think she is struggling with her illness and needs someone to realize what she really needs in her life. I don't particularly like Kevin, as he seems to never have been very supportive of her or his families. Just a mother's opinion, though.

I agree with 5:27 PM Emy --

Where was Kevin when Britney was suffering with Preston and where was Kevin where was he again when she gave birth to Jayden James.All of a sudden he wants to take advantage for what happened to her and get her money.By God's grace he will get nothing.How can you grant custody to a man who left his 2yr old daughter and a pregnant girl friend for another woman.Do you think he loves those kids the most.I don't think so.He is just out for Britney's money and God wouldn't allow that.He wants to now claim he is the good Daddy which is not going to work.Every body makes mistake and what Britney did doesnot give Kevin of all people the right to take her kids away.He wanted her in rehab so he can have the kids and Britney's money not because he really loves them.Why didn't he fight to take his other two kids with Shar Jackson if he thinks he is the best Dad.He should give back those kids to Britney.

Whoever says B*tchney Britney will get custody of her kids and that mothers always get kids need to stop smoking crack. As much as K-Fed was a bad dude, he at least has stepped up to the plate whilst B*tchney is not mentally capable of raising kids.
I am one of the minority who was raised by a single dad (I still live with him due to my autism) once the parents got divorced. My father (who quit drinking for good in 1978 and quit smoking for good in December of 1984) got custody of me, my three older brothers and my fourth older sister when my folks divorced in June of 1987 because of my mother's wild partying and lifestyle at the time (and her cheating on my dad). Her wild life is catching up to her now sadly as she has COPD and diabetes and I am in Florida getting updates on her and send her my love and prayers. The reasons my mother turned to drugs was to cope with stresses of raising EIGHT KIDS when my dad would go out drinking (from 1974-78) and once he was sobered went away for military purposes (he served in the US Army for 30 plus years).
A fatc here, I am the only family member who avoids drugs, I detest smoking and drinking plus, like my father, am the only male in the family who doesn't have tattoos (I am scared of needles and scream still when I get pin pr*cked) cos I don't need it. I have enough worries without them (I have a form of autism called Aspergers Syndrome).

K FED IS A SUCKY PERSON HES A GOLDIGGER N HES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION....HELLO HES TRYING TO B THE GOOD ONE THE GOOD DAD....BUT YET WHEN BRIT WAS PREGNAT HELL B GETTING HIGH NEVER THEIR AS A COUPLE ALWAYS WASTING BRITNEYS MONEY...GOLDIGGER...AND U SUCK AS A SINGER
AND STOP GIVING HIM FAME GO BACK TO WORK AT THE RED CARPET..CAR WASH..LOL

The mother does not always get the kids, BUT no parent is denied having thier children for a few month of partying...thats just stupid. How soon we all forget how kevin ditched his family (2 families actually) for his own selfish needs. Neither of them are perfect parents...there aint no such thing as a perfect parent, everyone makes mistake...I even have. That has nothing to do with having custody of your children. The only way Kevin could lawfully keep those kids from Britney is if she was phisically abusing them, which she has never done. Kevin needs to get off his high horese and realize he is the abusive husband who neglected his wife and children and who we never saw with out a drink in his hand. being a good father takes more than just doing it for the cameras for a month. It take sacrifice, love and respect for one another to raise children properly when you are divorced or separated. I think they should go to mediation and family couceling and the worst thing for Britney is to have Kevin try and keep the kids from her. They should have them equal amounts of time.

Whoah - custody does NOT always go to the mother. That's a shallow comment to make.

I see no reason for Kevin not to have the children. I've learned that people will believe what they want to believe, and despite Shar Jackson's claims Kevin is a great father, no one's ever going to believe her. Boys will be boys. So Kevin's a little immature! WHAT GUY ISN'T? I always believed Kevin and Britney are doing what is best for their children, and I continue to wish them the best of luck.

I completely agree with Ms. Carol from 11:58 am neither one should have custody of those kids. the grandma should keep them. they are so irresponsible. if britney claims she is a good mom then she needs to start behaving like one. leaving the children at home with the nanny to get drunk and party is not responsible. do you know how many times we hear horror stories about the nanny abusing the children physically and sexually? what the hell is wrong with her? she needs to stay at home with her kids. if she didn't want kids then she shouldn't of had them. the children always suffer. as for k-fed he is stupid. he doesn't even take care of his previous child with the other woman he was dating Shar i think. now he's trying to be daddy of the year award. and i think he is a looser because he used Britney to get some fame and try to become a rapper. the man is a user! and looser! i say sober up Britney.

Neither of them should have custody. They are both irresponsible parents. It's obvious they weren't ready to become parents and now they can't deal with it. What really irritates me is the fact that most celebrities have babies without thinking about the consequences. Unfortunately, children are the ones who suffer.

it just amazes me how everyone acts like they know exactly what goes on in these peoples lives. none of you do so none of you should judge either one of them. they have both made mistakes obviously and hopefully they will both work to fix them for their children.

4:06 Anonymous: How can you say something so irresponsible? They need their (sic there) mother? She was no mother! She was out every night partying, drinking heavily and acting more like a bleep than a mother. She would get home at 4 or 5 am and sleep all day. Is that the type of mother those children need as a role model? Right now KFed is the only stable person in their life. If you think those children need Britney right now you are either not a mother yourself (or a poor one), a very young kid (who needs to go back to school to learn grammar and spelling) or just someone with poor judgment.

God bless Britney. Now then. Does her vulnerability equate with K-Fed as a good parent?
Can we really believe that Kevin Federline is an even "decent" parent?
I think not.

I hope that this is a wake up call for both Brit and Kevin. There are little lives at stake here and both of them need to open their eyes before it's too late. I can't believe Brit...a mother and role model for so many has turned her life upside down over nothing. I give props where props is due so Kevin keep up the good work despite what anyone says you got your kids and you should work on keeping them safe. It's not about you, or Brit, it's about those children. Keep your mind focused on them and I hope everything works out for Brit for the sake of the children.

I can't believe all the negative press that Britney is getting and not one person can seem to recall all the times her husband was in Vegas without her or the children and partying with his "friends". Where was the "perfect dad" then? Where is this Dad of the Year with his two other children? Yes, I agree Britney needed help and needed the rehab but where was the public outcry for Kevin to go to rehab when he was partying all night in Vegas with his friends and many other women? Why is he so much better? Leave Brit alone and let her recover without all this negative crap being said. The street goes both ways and Kevin is no Saint. The only ones losing out here is the children. Including the ones that you don't see Kevin hanging with for his photo op like he is with the two boys with Britney. He's still playing to the press and trying to be as sucessful as his wife was and still may be. They both need to grow up. So if you want to go after her make sure you remember that Kevin is not a perfect person either.

Can Britney Spears and her ex-husband K-Quack please get out of the spotlight for good, along with their kids?
Both of them are still severely and annoyingly tacky to me.
