OMG Chal, that totally contradicts her previous public persona of down home country girl.

The mom has passed on the book deal. When Jamie publically announced she was pregnant that deal fell through.

There seems to be a reality problem in Britney’s life. I feel very sad for her.

As for blaming the parents… hmmm I don’t know how I feel about that. It’s not the mother’s fault that Jamie got pregnant.

My niece is a very … troubled young woman. Her parents have done all they can to reign her in and try to keep her in line. But she discovered, much too early in life, that there really is very little that your parents can do to make you behave. When she’s grounded, she just leaves the house. Her parents call the police but what else can they do? She’ll get right up into her father’s face and tell him to f@*k off. She shoved him last time and he shoved her back. Her probation officer was doing a home visit and she tried to get her dad arrested. The PO told her “there’s not a judge in this county that would lock your dad up for that.”

She is going to be 18 this month, but she acts like she’s 12. She’s been to T’s for years. She had the misfortune of seeing a quack for a while. She does this thing with her jaw, cracks it. The orthodontist told her that she was doing damage to her jaw or joint or something. Anyway when the child would do this, her mother would say “please stop that, you’re going to end up having surgery.” (And she really did say please, I would not have.) At the age of 14, the T told the child, while her mother was in the room with her, it was acceptable to say “it’s my body, I know the consequences of my actions and if I want to crack my jaw I will” I’M NOT KIDDING!!! Her mother was reprimanded by the T for the response "it may be your body, but I'm the one that has to pay to have it repaired so you need to treat better."

I love the girl dearly, she reminds me a lot of myself and I understand how frustrating it is to be going through puberty with hormonal and chemical imbalances. The difference was I was afraid of my parents, I had boundaries, whether I liked them or not. It must be scary as hell to be that young and battle your brain and realize that you can make the rules up as you go along. The consequences stink
