Okay so between driving with her baby on her lap and driving with him strapped in but forward-facing at only eight months, Britney has been beaten down by parents and the media everywhere. Then I actually felt sorry for her because everyone jumped on how she was clearly a bad mother because she tripped while carrying him and nearly dropped him because, you know, that NEVER happens to any of us. Right. I’ve tripped eight billion times while walking with each of my kids, plus banged their head or arm more than a few times while trying to pass through a door frame, and I also had each one roll off the couch because I was so sleep deprived that I fell asleep while nursing them. I’m human and hey, so is Britney except she has to be human in front of thousands of cameras.
But today I may have beaten Britney at the bad mother game. I think I win because not once, but TWICE today, I rocked Breanna to sleep courtesy of the soft and soothing sounds of 50 Cent*. Nothing says, “shhh, take a nap little baby” like a bit of gangsta rap.
(*For what it’s worth, I thought “Get Rich Or Die Trying” was a pretty good movie. Bonus = seeing the guy who plays Mr. Eko on Lost as a drug warlord.)
*looks sideways*
Uhm, there are times when our house is bumping some Eminem.
Shh, don’t tell.
*sigh* Emma likes Madonna and K-Os.
… and I thought I was one of the few who think Britney is getting a bad (mother) rap. At least she hasn’t shut the car door on her kid’s finger. Guess the media would have a ball with that. All those photographers when she is simply walking from the building to a car? Egad. I guess neither the photographers nor Britney have a life of their own. The saga continues …
LOL my little guy wouldn’t fall asleep as a baby unless I held him up and danced to rap music. I’m glad I don’t have all those people following me and analyzing my every move, I think I’d go crazy!
I used to listen to “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas in the car until my daughter started singing all the words! “Mommy, why does he like her humps?” Oh No! I guess it’s back to listening to The Wiggles.
