For those of you who are being critical towards this book, I suggest you read it first. This is not a tell-all book and it’s not at all trash. Lynn Spears takes a hard look at both herself and the things she would have done differently as a parent. All in all, she proves she’s a mother that has done the best she can and loves her children with all her heart. All mothers make mistakes. Read the book and then tell me what you think.

As an adult with children, I for the life of me, can not grasp why this woman wrote this book about her daughter?? This isnt about tips on motherhood for gods sake. Keep your families lives out of the media Lynn, these girls have had enough of there lives spread out in the media without there own mother doing it intentionally. Be a mother supporting them, loving them and giving them your individed attention and unconditional love. It totally disgusted me when I heard about this book and will not be purchasing it all, I will not give you one penny towards your explotation of your kids!!

child abuse??? are you serious??? I am by no means a fan of Britney Spears, but I do feel for her and her family. I do not believe that the negative comments are particularly constructive – everybody makes mistakes, bad choices – unfortunately we are all human. This is something that is magnified being in the public eye. How can you judge a book without even reading it? I will be buying this book, not for its “exploitation” of these “children” (Britney is well and truly an adult now) but as a story of a family struggling with the dark side of success. Kind of makes you appreciate what you have, doesn’t it?

I think it’s great, I’m exited to hear her point of view. The poor woman has been through hell. I don’t think Brittney’s mess of a life is her mother’s responsibility. Brittney got caught up in the fame, and really, what control does a parent have over a “child” who has more money at her disposal than you do, as well as the world watching and putting her on an unstable pedestal? As for Jamie-Lynn, I don’t think anything’s wrong there, she’s just a teenager who happened to get pregnant, and she took responsibility for it. Period. Leave the woman alone and let’s hear what she has to say.

I think everyone here is being a bit closed minded. I dont believe it is a trashy hurtful tell all. From what I have heard she is NOT selling out her daughters at all.
Infact in an interview she said she actually wrote it to her children, and it wasn’t even going to be publish. It’s how much she loves her children.
Just something for them, but it got bigger that that. She is actually clearing up tabloid rumors and helping her kids. She also said it was never her idea to for fame, and she was never a stage mom, she never pushed them into anything.
Lynn also fesses up to what she wishes she didnt do, and that was letting managers “parent” and not stepping in when she should of, that was her biggest regret.
By the way Lynn Spears is loaded, she doesnt need to write a book for the money.

Well I would rank this book as not quite as horrible as OJ’s “If I did it” but still much worse than Madonna’s brothers “Life With My Sister Madonna”.

What parent consistently sells out her children in this fashion? It’s sick. Through the Storm? Hello Lynn Spears, who put them through the storm?

I agree with the person who said that anyone who buys this book is promoting child abuse.

You know what though…it makes you understand Britney and how someone with so much still has garbage happen in their lives, just like all of us…

Lynne Spears must be so proud of herself. Now to air the dirty laundry of her daugther. Apparently Lynne wasn’t much of a parent to allow her daughter these types of behaviors.

It seems she knew what was going on, but didn’t do anything because she was waiting for the money to start rolling in…Makes me wonder if Brittney cut mama off so now mama has no money.

It’s sad and sickening….

Don’t buy the book.

I think lynne spears should be ashamed of herself for releasing this book in which she “tells all” of her girls..it’s a wonder they are the way they are…the old saying”the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” and she surley has shown the accuracy in that old tale…It’s sad when you see a Mom trying to make a profit of her childs mistakes which clearly shows how incompetent she was of having one of the most treasured titles which is..”being a Mom” I truley feel sorry for her girls and pray that in time they will grow into the beautiful Women they are. Mom needs to have all her privleges taken away…if I were her kids I would run as far away as possible with my children and provide them with the life their so called Mother never gave them.

I think It is betrayal of her children and immoral as their mother to exploit them in this manner.
