Dr. Phil,
I had NO experience on raising children, as do most parents when it's thrust upon them...
wanted or not.
That didn't stop me from reading all I could about pregnancy, child raising and marriage...
PRE-COMPUTERS!
I quickly learned that drinking while pregnant, was a MAJOR risk the my child's health, as was
smoking and GOD FORBID--- drug use!!! We were even told that certain foods could cause a
risk to the child's developing an allergy to it. Needless to say, those were probably the healthiest
months of our lives... spent getting ready for the miracle about to be bestowed on us.
We had no money, to speak of... NO nannies, no maids... nobody but our parents, who helped
out for a few days after the birth.
WE DID IT ON OUR OWN!
Sure, some women get PPD... you go to the doctor, tell him how your feeling, and ask for help!
And, if you are too ill to get the help, your mate or family makes sure you follow thru...
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to raise a child... it takes some common sense, some education,
and LOTS OF LOVE!
Something that Miss Spears seem to have none of, sadly...
My advice is that she get therapy, get off her ass and GROW UP!!!
She was adult enough to make those children... now step up to the plate, and take responsibility
for them!
If she is unable to do so, then they are better off without her in their lives... PERIOD!
