Slog - Comments on No Mom http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/no_mom Now this piece of news is impressive: Singer Britney Spears has been ordered to hand over her two young children to her former husband. It is nothing short of a major achievement for a woman to lose her children to a man. That takes a lot of work....

I am going to go puke. BTW, this is further proof people need a license to pro-create.

I mean, being told she'd be tested twice weekly for drugs and partying the very night she's warned takes some real effort.

BRITNEY SPEARS LOSES KIDS -- TO FEDERLINE, NOT SHOE SHOPPING AT THE MALL.

I mean, this could take its toll and send her over the edge! She could just go crazy...oh, wait...she did that. That's why she lost the kids in the first place. Ditto to Will @ 6. Come back to the real world...*ALL* of you, not just Brit.

You know those kids have a supremely fucked up childhood ahead of them when an actual live judge rules that Kevin Federline is the most fit of the two parents. I mean, if all she had to do was prove she was a better parent than K-Fed, that's really a pretty low bar to hurdle, isn't it?

This pathetic drama should end for all time the notion that every child needs a mother and a father.

HYPER-LORDOSIS!! Maybe she could argue she has a disability or something and THAT'S why she's such a bad parent. And then her doctor could prescribe her some massage which her insurance company would then have to pay for. At least then she'd get some relief for her paaaaiiiiiin.

Apparently: party, feed the kids soda constantly, meth with Howie Day, forget your underwear, not get a license in the state you're a resident in.....

What sucks is that there are other mothers being worse mothers who still have their kids.

K-Fed knows it's much better to be holding Canadian dollars than US Dollars these days... that's why he's smart/getting the kiddos.

i can hear you rolling your eyes as i type this.
