More from Lynne Spears new book about good parenting

For pete’s sake. Anyone who buys this book from Lynne Spears expecting to get some good parenting tips is going to be in for QUITE the surprise. Here are some more snippets:

On Britney’s breakdowns and marriages
Lynne Spears recalls feeling “shock and dismay” at seeing her daughter shave her head, at her brief marriages to childhood friend Jason Alexander and dancer-rapper Kevin Federline, and her highly publicized custody battles over her two children. She also recalls feeling she had been “punched in the stomach” when she learned that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant at age 16.

On Britney’s mothering skills and failed relationships
She praises Federline as a “caring daddy” and says Britney Spears is “an amazing mother,” but only when at her best. Lynne Spears also writes warmly of her daughter’s former boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, but says the willful nature of the young couple helped break them up.

On Britney’s very public breakdowns
The bottom came in the past two years with Britney Spears’ increasingly disturbing public behavior and her drugged private life in her Malibu, Calif., house. Lynne Spears writes that she was distraught as then-manager Sam Lutfi told her he was grinding pills and putting them in Britney’s food, hoping to induce a coma that would enable doctors to cure her of all addictions. Britney Spears was hospitalized twice this year, the second time in February, when paramedics took her to the psychiatric ward of the UCLA Medical Center, where her mother says she finally received the care she needed. - source

Ugh. I think it’s utterly disgusting how she’s painting herself to be this great mother. Although Britney certainly did put her through the wringer (and I bet you anything we’re not done yet).
