I'm not defending Britney per se, but I do feel kinda bad for her. I can see just wanting to get the hell away from those photogs and people do forget, people drove without child seats for more than a hundred years.
Plus, she has a bigger kid to worry about next to her in bed.

We need more people like you in the neighborhoods of America, (actually the world) looking out for the new mommies I think we all forget what it is like to be young and clueless and on the run from the paparazzi, or in my situation that busybody who lived beind me;)

The questions which popped into my mind when I first saw the pictures...
What was the person in the passenger seat doing? Her bodyguard, right?
And what prevented BS from handing over the child for him to secure into the child safety seat while she drove away?

I don't think it was as horrible as holding your child out over the balcony railing ..... she is a twit and acted like one - she should be stopped at this child; but that should be her only penalty.

All these young, famous people having kids makes me shake my head in disappointment. I'm 24 & I can tell you that right now (& probably eternally) I would make a TERRIBLE parent. The difference is I'm aware enough of my own self to realize that. I believe in the fact that people (couples included) should do some living together for a few years before having kids.... then perhaps the devoice rate wouldn't be so high.

First of all, I think I don't like Britney. Well, I don't know her personally, so I cannot say it without "I think" before it. But IMHO she's stupid and bratty. Second, there are worse things you could do to a child, like the Michael Jackson thing Metella mentioned. And yes, I remember a time were not only child seats but also seatbelts were virtually unknown -- in Europe, at least. I think they made them mandatory much earlier in the U.S. And when the seatbelts were introduced some women would place the baby on their lap and buckle the seatbelt over it, which is hideously dangerous. Currently, even worse things are done. Some people are ignorant that airbags can infact smash a baby's skull. And last but not least, kawaiidragonfoe821 (foe, thy name is no long, I have cut and paste thee), I know people in PL who would skin you alive for linking divorce rates with young parenting…but not me, be sure!

Britney never had much common sense and I think she lost what bit she had left when she married that grease monkey. Driving without the kid in a car seat was pretty stupid but she shouldn't be burned at the stake for it.
What's sad is young girls like her seem to have babies because they are *squeal* sooo cute!!! People need to stop and think before they bring a child into this world because what you want is not always what you need. There are so many babies out there with idiot parents.
kawaiidragonfoe821, I agree with you, I think I'd make a terrible parent and wish more people would say that instead of caving to the bullying of "If you don't have kids, you are selfish!" I think it's selfish just to have kids just to have them or to hold up the kid and say "Look, I'm so wonderful because I'm a Mommy!!" Too much martrying going on. I agree with you again, couples, married or not, should wait to have kids. They should settle in the relationship first. Too many people have kids hoping to save a relationship/marriage and shouldn't do that, either.

Why is our society like that anyway? Either their pressuring us to pop one out or get married! I'm 24 & I avoid get-togethers with my extended family because I always get bombarded with harassing questions of why I'm not married (like everyone else was at my age) or at least have a steady man. I thought about telling them that I have been clinically diagnosed as having Schizoid personality disorder, but then they'd just want to institutionalize me.

I get the same crap. I'm nearly 31 and been married nearly 7 years and lots pf people ask "Why don't you have children yet?" and look at me as if they pity me. It's incomprehensible to most people (especially those of a heavy religious persuasion) that not everyone is cut out to be parent, that not everyone wants kids, and that not everyone should even have kids.
I think people should be at least 30 before they have kids or get married because 1) You can sow the wild oates of your 20's 2) be more financially/emotionally ready and 3) Have your education completed. It makes me so mad to see people with kids who whine and complain that they "can't afford them" or say they had to "give up" their education. Many seem to hurry and pop those kids and then think of the responsibility and the future later.
People are living longer and it is harder to find decent jobs so it takes longer to get "settled". I think that's why many people are now waiting till their 30's or 40's to have kids.

Bloody hell, the media is buzzing that Britney is pregnant again! How will she drive with two kids in her lap? Yes, I know, that was a cheap shot!

NicoleMarie>> LOL at least you're married, you've got one thing going for you (as far as the religious community is concerned). My family is heavily religious (Lutheren) so believe me what I say that I understand about religious pressure. I've been hearing that she's pregnant again, too. I guess the woman's never seen a birth control comercial, eh? (I know that was a cheep shot, too)

Amen to all these comments!!! I finally had to say to a friend "But I don't WANT children" before she finally shut up, and she was a liberal type who should know better. Some of you might want to see if there is a NO KIDDING chapter in your area.

Maherjunkie>> LOL thats a good one! Perhaps I should get together with a few of my other childless, single acquaintances & friends & open a restaurant that doesn't allow kids? I mean we ban dogs from restaurant, why not kids too? I myself have never understood that because my dogs are far more well behaved then any kids I've seen lately.

How come you need a license to get married, drive a car or own a dog, but anybody with raging hormones, a decent sperm count, and is fertile can make a baby?
