Ok, we get it.  Britney Spears is the worst parent evah.  And the worst parent that ever will be.  She’s a demoness who has rained down misfortune on the two adorable children that have been cursed with the parents that they have.  She hates her children, keeps them up at all hours of the night, and feeds them horrible things, like pop, candy, and junk food.
And I don’t know AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY parents in my whole network of People I’ve Ever Met– like that.  I, the woman who, with regrets, gave her son a dose of Tylenol when he wasn’t sick so she could sleep and get up and work 3rd shift.  I’ve seen more “child abuse” in 15 minutes watching people at Wal-Mart than Britney Spears has “committed” in the whole 3 or so years hers have been born.  And most of them are not only able to keep their kids, but they’re in the damn system, being checked on every few months or so by a not-so-highly-trained social worker.
So, you know, no, she’s not a saint.  No, she’s not the ideal mother.  Guess what?  We’re a generation of kids who were raised by parents who were less than ideal, and we’re now raising a bunch of spoiled brats.  And, it seems, with every generation, we get more and more “don’t punish the kid!” and get bigger assholes of children.  Prisons fill up, the streets fill with asshole children, and everyone wonders where we went wrong.

For those you with children, pregnant, or planning to have children, DISCIPLINE THEM WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING WRONG.  For those of you without and never wanting them, realize this; even if you don’t want to be a role model, you are.  It’s a shitty part of life.
Most of all, though, Parents, please raise your children to know that they have a brain.  Don’t treat them like idiots, because, their VCR and DVD-player programming brains have figured out before they’re 10 that you’re a complete moron, and that the only reason that they can’t just go over your head and raise themselves is that jobs suck, or you wouldn’t be in such a bad mood when you get home from yours.  Love your kids, be with your kids, read with your kids, and turn off the damn t.v., X-Box, Computer, or whatever it is that’s distracting you from being with your children.  This is, BTW, and open letter to everyone who’ll read it.
Why?
I’m sick and tired of the news wasting time in magazines and newspapers, in news reports, and in the news online, to report to me about Britney Spears’ latest fuckup.  Because we’re all not big enough losers to think it sucks when it happens to us, we have to gloat about being better parents (and better dressed) than her.  It’s like going to the Special Olympics and making fun of the 2nd place runner for losing.  In the end, you’re a bigger retard.
