Britney has proved by her seemingly reckless and irresponsible behaviour that she cannot handle responsibility. She is whimsical and tends to be guided by spur of the moment actions. This is certainly not expected from a parent and particularly not from famous parents who have kids. It takes a lot of level headedness to handle fame appropriately and sadly we have not seen that from Britney.

Compared to Britney, KFed has behaved well and has come across as a more responsible parent. Even after having a celebrity spouse he has tended to keep away from the spotlight. Hardly any incident of reckless behavior from KFed has come to light. Given the amount of media attention that Britney gets, it would be hard to keep such incidents away from the media. KFed certainly deserves kudos for that.

All said and done, the judge has given a sound order. The judgement has separated emotion from practical life. The judge has kept emotions away while making the judgement keeping the future interests of the children in mind. It is not uncommon for all of us to blinded by a mother's love for her children. One tends to think that children bereft of their mothers love will not be well taken care off and without a mother children will never get a decent upbringing. As it is even if the children were with a mother like Britney, they would hardly get any of the love, protection and attention that a mother provides her children. Therefore they are better off without her.

It might help to keep the children away from media spotlight to ensure they  can have a decent and balanced upbringing. Hopefully they will grow up into responsible adults who can handle their mother's fame. No matter how hard they try, it will be difficult for them to step out of their parent's shadow. It is not that it can't be done but it is a difficult one. There are numerous celebrities who have successfully kept their offsprings away from public glare and bringing them into public life after they have grown into adults.

If Britney and KFed want to bring up their children as responsible citizens with proper education and decent upbringing then they need to put a lot of effort into it. Also they need to keep them away from Britney and her spoilt ways so that they can get a life of their own without any hangovers from their mother's dramatic ways.
