Anyone else over the whole Jamie Lynn Spears drama?

Question

I was 16 when I had my son and now that Jamie Lynn Spears had her baby, it makes it seem like a game. These quotes were in her OK! magazine article....

"I love taking care of her. It is so much fun. I just want to hug her and kiss her, and I'm happy all the time," she told OK!."

"I would love being the soccer mom," she said. "They don't have soccer down here, but I would love being the softball mom driving the kids around."

It makes me feel so angry because do you REALLY think SHE is the one taking care of that baby? Just because you have money doesn't mean you will be a good mom. Also the fact that she got engaged is just so cliche it makes me want to barf. Some of us work hard EVERYDAY of our lives trying to make life ok for our children. No wonder girls are getting pregnant left and right... Jamie Lynn Spears says it's "fun".

I just had to rant a little.... sorry

Answer 1

im actually proud of her for taking responsibilty for her actions. Very few do. I thought they made to big of a deal out of it anyway. They should have talked about statistics rather than show so much light on just her. She is just one of 100s  of  1000s of teens that got pregnant, not the only one.

As for her saying its fun, thats just her way of getting back at all the people who dissed her and told her it was going to be hard. I agree it sent a bad message to teens but that was just another mistake she made.

Her sister is the one im tired of hearing about! What a stipid bimbo! God go live in a trailor park already!

Answer 2

What makes me upset (and not to offend young moms-I commend those of you taking responsibility) but I hate that the media is making a big deal of this young mother.  My 12 yr old daughter loves the show, Zoey 101 that Jamie Lynn was on so she is interested in all the news media about her pregnancy, engagement and recent birth of her daughter.  What she is saying about becoming a mother makes it seem like it is all fun and games and could give a young girl the wrong impression of motherhood.  You are so right that she probably has TONS of help...I wish they would talk less about her life and focus more on the mistake she made.  She had a lot going for her and now has a child to take care of.  It is hard to raise a family and this needs to be addressed to young people...yes, there are young people who can handle parenthood but far too many young people who can not.  Look at her big sister's life-now that shows you just how hard REAL life can be!

Answer 3

i didnt think there was much drama around her pregnancy.

sure its easier because shes famous, but she does seem to have her head on straight.

i think she is the main person taking care of her baby along with casey and her mother.

i think i smell jealousy

i am 16 and even after reading jamie lynn's article i still odnt think teen pregnancy would be fun.

have a little more faith in teens than that

Answer 4

I'm over all of these celebrities really. I do love how the media rips Jamie to pieces one minute and the next minute they're saying what a good mommy she is. Maybe she will be and I guess we'll find out. I hope for her baby's sake she is a good mom and just stays out of the spotlight.

Answer 5

You know what she had a mistake and is dealing with it.

What do you want her to say to OK

" i hate being a parents and i hate my baby ".

Just because she is a teen mom doesn't mean she will be a bad parent.

Answer 6

over jamie and her sister

bother need to grow up and be role models to thier fans and thier kids

Answer 7

When I first saw the title of your question I thought you were going to comment on the fact that the media is blowing a teenage pregnancy out of proportion. After all, plenty of teenagers have babies every day. So, why should Jamie's pregnancy be so scandalous?

I'm not going to judge and say Jamie is not taking care of her daughter. Because honestly, how do any of us even know that? We can assume that she has a nanny 24/7 because she is considered a celebrity and has the money for it but, we don't KNOW if that is the truth.

You also have to consider how the media works. The media only feeds the public things they want to hear. The interview could have been 2 hours long and then the magazine edits all the boring bits out and leaves the juicy stuff in. Jamie could have rambled on for a half an hour about how hard it is to be a teenager and have a baby..we don't KNOW that.

Another thing to consider is that she just gave birth. Of course she is smitten with her daughter!

I remember when my daughter was born and I was lying in the bed next to her completely in awe at how tiny and beautiful she was. I had this overwhelming urge to call my own mother and tell her "Mom, I can't believe that 'I' made this perfect angel!" 2 months later I was pacing the floor at midnight wanting to rip my hair out because my "perfect angel" had not slept in 3 days! But, that is certainly not something I would tell a magazine interviewer.

I don't think Jamie's interview of her saying it's fun to take care of her own daughter is going to make a whole bunch of teens run out and get pregnant either. Lots of teens were getting pregnant way before Jamie and I'm sure plenty will after as well. Teen pregnancy is definitely not something new. It is just now that teens are more accepted as parents. Before they were sent away, kept hidden, and swept under the rug.

I don't feel any animosity towards Jamie having a baby, even at a young age. It is going to get tough for her at times, even if she is a celebrity. I wish her and her family the best.

Answer 8

What's wrong with her thinking it's fun taking care of a baby?

At least she has money to support the baby and is probably smarter than Britney Spears right now.

Plus, it means she actually cares about the baby too.

Answer 9

After what she saw Britney go through, I think she'll be a great mom.

The baby is only 2 weeks old. She's excited about her new daughter. Let her think its "fun" as long as she wants to.

Sorry you've had it so hard but good for you for taking care of your responsibilities. I;m sure you are a good mom too.

Answer 10

She lives in a fantasy world or is putting on one heck of a show for the camera.  I'm pretty sure her mom or a nanny is the primary care giver with all the money they now have courtesy of big sister Britney.  

I agree.  Teenage girls will see Jamie Lynn saying that babies are "fun" to have at 16 years old and that life with a baby is all peaches and cream.  What she WON'T talk about is how it will change your life and your body.  The sleepless nights, the crying, the frustrations, the mood swings and other hardships...and not all teenage fathers are so faithful as her new fiance.  I believe that marriage is doomed from the beginning and will not last long anyways.  Sad isn't it?

Answer 11

Having kids is a joy. They bought a house, the dad is a decent guy. They met in church, were together for a while. To me it sounds like your just bitter and jealous you didn't have all that when you got knocked up with yours! Straight up.

I got together with my husband at 15, we chose to get pregnant at 17, moved 2200 miles, got married and had tons of "fun" with our baby! Bought our house at 19. I am now 21 with 2 kids and 15 weeks 5 days pregnant with our third and last! Loving every second of it. It isn't as expensive as people claim, it isn't as hard as people claim, and it is a ton of fun having little ones, and everything day to day that applies when you have kids.

So while it doesn't show the spitting up, and the poo accidents, and the teething cries, ect......that doesn't mean they are portraying it as a "game". It means they are enjoying their baby, and it sounds like your just jealous. So YOU obviously need to grow up, considering you have to come on yahoo and post a "rant" about the girl......that shows how immature you are.

* Heres a text book JEALOUS statement!

It makes me feel so angry because do you REALLY think SHE is the one taking care of that baby? Just because you have money doesn't mean you will be a good mom. Also the fact that she got engaged is just so cliche it makes me want to barf. Some of us work hard EVERYDAY of our lives trying to make life ok for our children.

Those were your words! copy/pasted! Sounds like you just need to get a life! You don't know anything about what goes on in that house they share. So who are you to ASSUME anything. It's pathetic. Find something intelligent to talk about.

Btw, there aren't "hard parts" to any situation if your stable and plan for everything! Our "hard part" was just getting up in the night for the first month or two. After that it was smooth sailing with NO help EVER. So blah, blah, blah.

Answer 12

I'm with you. I do not judge people that have children as teens...I think all is meant to be in the universe BUT I have a problem with the media making it "fun" and "glamourous". I'm sure you love your son with all your heart and then some but was it really  "glamourous"? I'm sure it wasn't/isn't. Pregnancy is great but there are some stages in life where there are certain advantages and being a teen parent I'm sure is really hard. I think she does love her baby but I think b/c she's a celeb teen mom she is heckbent on making it all seem great b/c she might feel really did mess up. So saying "I'm exhausted" or "I'm scared b/c this is a freakin' huge change in my life" doesn't really look good, so she says its soooo great. And let me tell you...what I wanted at 16 is NOTHING like how my life is today. Nothing against moms and what they do but when I read that it was like reading a fantasy. It would have been enough for her to say she loves her and is excited about raising her or something like that. And you are right...money doesn't equal easy or good parenting.

Kudos!
