Britney Spears appeared on national television last night to plead her case with Matt Lauer. Spears argues that she is a more than decent mother, wife, and should be left alone or treated more fairly by the press and paprazzi. I couldn't agree more. I believe the media is being completely irrational in their portrayal of the multi-platinum mega hit pop bubblegum. . .you get the idea.

Babies and car seats. I have children, so I know first hand how difficult it can be to properly secure your baby into a car seat. Here's the basics:

Keep in mind that all of this must be done while the baby is laughing, crying, spitting up, fidgeting, going to the bathroom, or all of the above at once. Difficult? Yes. Absolutely necessary? You bet.

The overwhelming majority of us do not know what it is to live with the continual presence of the paparazzi. I can't even begin to imagine how insanely frustrating it would be to try to put a baby in a car seat while being surrounded by these Night of the Living Dead-esque zombie-like picture takers. However I can imagine what it would be like while submerged in a shark cage

and that looks pretty stressfully.

Simply stated, I think that Britney Spears got her baby away from that group and situation in best way she could given the extremely stressfull circumstances. Honestly, that's all any decent parent can do.
