In my opinion K-fed is the more capable parent, or at least less likely to emotionally scar his two sons. While Britney frantically stumbles over self imposed land mines he has managed to keep a relatively low profile, only to surface for those ever so frequent court hearings. At this point in the game, Kevin has a clear mindset and is pursuing his goal with one key motive; the welfare of his children. And while many may frown, questioning his sincerity, no one can dispute his dedication. In all likelihood, he will prevail in getting full custody. After all he has the support of the court behind him not to mention the reassurances of Britney Spears own mother. That speaks volumes.

Let's face it, K-Fed is not the poster boy for the most outstanding individual, in fact, his past conduct has been anything but positive. Still you have to give him a little credit, it must be aggravating to deal with someone who is so bound and bent on complicating every issue. Instead of playing into Britney's childish antics, he has taken a more mature approach to the situation. Kevin has literally set aside his differences and let the courts intervene, instead of going head to head with his ex wife. If you ask me that is the definition of strong. Many couples dealing with divorce and custody proceedings; tend cast children aside in favor of waging a bitter feud. In this case the children are top priority.

I really believe he is putting the welfare of his children before his ill feelings toward Britney. I mean let's face if Kevin was really an evil mastermind, he would have administered the decisive blow, furthering the destruction of Britney's already deteriorating "good" reputation. It would be so easy, there's nothing to stop him, except maybe a conscience. Could it be that deep down he feels something akin to respect for the woman who had once proclaimed till death and further expressing her love by bearing him his sons?

I have a hard time believing that his shroud of silence is some kind of selfish scheme, designed to win over the courts approval in custody proceedings.
K-fed may come across as vain as well as presumptuous, but to be classified as a heartless monster with little regard for anyone but himself, I don't think so. I'm sure he is well aware of Britney's unstable condition. It is possible that he has avoided the tabloids because he knows that she is teetering on the brink of an emotional break down. His small act of kindness may have less to do with acting as a Good Samaritan then to do with adding some stability in a rather bleak circumstance.

Since the divorce Britney's self-destructive behavior has spiraled into something quite obscene. Not only could this woman write a book on the A B C's of things not to do with cars; everything from car abandonment, driving without a license, leaving the scene of an accident, driving with a baby in her lap and my personal favorite running over someone's foot; when it comes to Being a law abiding citizen, she is not. She has done some pretty stupid things, like disobeying court proceedings, cutting off her hair and petty theft. Still, I'm not entirely convinced that her strange behavior is a symptom of stress. When all these things are caught on camera, it leads me to conclude that much of what she is doing is nothing more than a bad act designed to reap a little sympathy. Even that episode where she locked herself in the bathroom denying her ex-husband access to the children, somehow felt staged. I mean, those photographers were just swarming, you can't tell me that they weren't notified. I'm sure the pop princess herself was the first to dish out the dirt on the whole affair. What about this "I want custody business", if Britney was really serious about it, she would have cleaned up her image. She could have at least tried to make an effort. I mean, it wouldn't kill her to come to the court hearings on time. It seems like all this chaos is taking over her entire life. The real tragedy is that she is allowing it.

In fact, I think the pop star might actually be addicted to all this drama. In her mind publicity is always good even if it is a reflection of wrong doing. What she doesn't understand is the public back lash. It's ok to be a snotty rebel when your young, rich and not tied down. However, when you become a mother and a wife, the public views you with a whole new perspective. People want to see that transition from all night party girl to a respectable and loving parent, that's just human nature. If Britney is not careful, she will lose all credibility with her fan base. Still, I think if that happened, she wouldn't be able to comprehend it and or cope. In her little world everyone and everything revolves around her. That is why Britney is having such a hard time facing reality; she cannot live by her own rules, the law won't allow it nor should it. With this state of mind she has made herself a venerable target, hard criticism will only crush her. That is why someone has to make tough decisions. Britney is not thinking clearly enough to be a responsible role model. Maybe in time she will get over herself and conduct her life as a decent human being. After all stranger things have happened, I would have never figured Madonna would change from a vulgar over the top musician to a respectable children's author. But as it stands right now Britney has a long up hill battle ahead, she better brace herself for a hard tumble down.
