Parenting Sites 411

When I saw this news yesterday, I wish I could say I was surprised.  But I sort of knew it was only a matter of time. Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled yesterday that Britney must surrender her children Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, to their father Kevin Federline by Wednesday.  It sounds like a temporary order for now, but I think it could easily become permanent if Brit doesn’t clean up her act.

Earlier in September, the same judge expressed concerns about Brit’s lifestyle and ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week in order to keep her children.  She was also ordered to see a parenting coach who would observe her parenting skills and report back to the court.  She was also to attend parenting classes with Federline but it’s unclear whether those classes had begun yet or not.

There is much speculation that the children were removed from her custody because she failed her drug test.  I have to admit, it certainly is looking to be the case.  In which case I’m not just sorry for her and her inability to get a grip on her life, but her children as well.  They deserve better from their mother.

I can only hope that this will be the wake up call she needs in order to get her life back in order.  I’ve heard that after surrendering her children yesterday (two days ahead of schedule), that she went out on the town to party.  I’m hoping that’s because she was feeling down about the turn of events and not because she felt “free at last”.  It’s just a shame that Brit doesn’t seem to realize being a parent means a lot more than just giving birth.

I’m very sorry for the lack of posts the last day or so and the sporadic loading of this site. Apparently there have been some server issues that are out of 451Press.com’s control. Looks like everything is starting to work again so that’s a very good thing! I hope I’m able to get this post up before things go bad again! Again, very sorry and thanks for your patience!

Anyhow, I’m going to dip into the realm of celebrity gossip today, simply because this particular story both disturbs and fascinates me. I NEVER thought I would see the day where I viewed Kevin Federline a more appropriate parent than Britney Spears but here we are. Kevin Federline, just mere weeks after his divorce from Britney has been finalized, has filed for sole custody of their sons, Jaden James and Sean Preston. Here are a couple sites reporting the “big news” and I’m still stunned by it. Mostly because my reaction is, “Good! I hope he gets it!” and if you’d asked me a year ago if I would have ever thought anything about K-Fed was redeeming, I would have told you that you were nuts.  But judging from Brit’s behavior of late, I am starting to wonder if she’s really in a position to properly care for these kids.  K-Fed has kept a low profile and in the public eye, seems to be a better choice for sole custody of these children.  It’s a shame it has come to this, but what else are we to think?

Anyhow, if you’re interested in learning more about the situation, visit any of the sites I linked above to read more and join in the discussion.  Was this the right move to make? I can’t help but think that yes, yes it was.
