Dr. Phil Thinks Lynne's a "Great Mother"?!?
Posted on Mon Dec 24, 2007 09:27 AM PDT
People got Dr. Phil to weigh in on the Spears family drama over the weekend, and believe it or not, America's favorite psychologist (and a friend of Brit and Jamie Lynn's folks) says "An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother."
Ummmmm, maybe if she hadn't been quite so "dedicated" to her daughters' careers she might have noticed that Jamie Lynn was having unprotected sex at the age of 16!
Do YOU think Lynne's a "great mother" or is she partially to blame for what's happened to her kids?

The same thing has happened to lots of mothers. I'm sure there are things she could have done differently, but she did her best.
yea great mother letting her date a 19 yr old "church boy" and letting her move in with him!!
Somebody isnt going to win the mother of the yr award!!!!!
Dr Phil is a knucklehead
If teens want make sex, they do it. Whith a good mom or not. And What do you want, If kids don't use condom? You can not stay whith them, in the bedroom and give them one, every time they fuck. sorry, but I'm french, and here it's not a big deal.
millions of teens are having unprotected sex everyday...mothers cant always be hounding their teens day/night...JL made that choice not her mother...
How convenient that this Pro-Brit site glosses over the miserable way that Lynne failed Britney and what a nightmare and tragic waste of life SHE has turned into.
I find doctor Phil to be a big hypocrite! He was screaming, both on his show, and on Larry King the other day about how Britney,s parents needed to step up and help get Britney the help she needs. That Britney,s parents needed to give her support while she is going through getting sober, and getting hep for possible bipolar disorer. Neither of Britney,s parents were taking that advice, they seemed more worried about hpublic perception, and how they were going to look to the public, as opposed to helping their child. BUT now when Jamie Lynn is pregnant, due to the lack of supervision, and proper education from her mother, all of a sudden to r. Phil, Britney,s parnets are angels.
Dr. Phil must have a deal to have mommy dearest on an upcoming show, or he is just a big fat hypocite, and fake at that!
OPRAH BOUGHT HERSELF A WHITE BOY,
AND HER BITCH IS CALLED DOCTOR PHIL
Who the hell cares what that total dork Dr. Phil thinks. He is a materialistic parasite.
dr phil is a moron just like britney's mom.
Just think, Chase couldn't even get a kiss!
As I see it, as soon as Jamie became a cash cow, Lynne no longer had any need for Britney. She did not want to deal with her anymore, she just washed her hands of her child. Lynn thought that Jamie was going to be her golden goose, and she disregarded one child for the other. It,s sad really, I feel for Britney, because as much as she needs people in her corner, she really has no one, no family who has her back. Everyone she has ever trusted has turned on her, and has turned their back on her. BUT I think Britney, with all the mistakes she,s made, has strength, and a resilience, that is rare. Most of us, in her situation, would have totally fell apart, but with the world against her, most wanting the worst to happen to her, she is still making it through, and has not given up on her life yet. It,s really amazing to me, and even a bit admirable.
hey this is the FAT, HUGE ego, jerk who wrote a DIET book! he can't control his own weight! his tyrades and "advice" are very different depending on who he is talking to! i'm not surprised he is taking their side! this guy thinks Oprah is a whiz at politics! i can't stand the sight of him!
So it was ok for Britney to have sex at 14, but not for Jamie Lynn at 16??? Please explain this to me. While Jamie Lynn should NOT be having a child, the fact is she's pregnant and this screwed up family is going to expand even further. Hopefully Casey can get custody of his child too. The Spears family certainly doesn't need another child to screw up!
yes hey, being a mother doesn't mean you hold your kids'hands untill they're adults.
You are so extremely well in stirring emotions (about nothing) and making people fanatic in their opinion. I wonder if you have kids and really wonder sometimes if you still have a touch with reality?!?
X17 no longer Team Britney? H a ha!
and how was she supposed to stop her daughter from having unprotected sex? only a moron doesn't know how babies are made. JL is the one to blame here, not her mother.

Well....I use to "listen" to Dr. Phil, now I will doubt everything he says....I might not even watch, anymore...He will end up eating his words, when they cancel him! Bye Bye!
who said she had UNPROTECTED sex? the condom could have broke, could it not? but who cares. she got herself into that mess, lets just pray she's gonna be a good mother.
.
Umm....biased much, Doc?
Me thinks your friendship with the Spears broads colors your assessment, yes?
Doc, stick to entertaining fat bon-bon chowin', Cheeto grubbin' daytime TV watchin' trailer=trash gals. They buy into your bullshit quackery. Intelligent humans don't.
Go peddle your tabloid snakeoil somewhere else, dude.
.

DR PHIL LMAO
I RATHER GET ADVICE FROM A BRITARD
Hey x17, you really need sexual education! Even with unprotected sex a woman/girl still can get pregnant!
You're great Jamie Lynn! Take care of yourself and your baby!
sarcasm/on
If Dr. Phil says that Lynne is a good mother she is!!!!!!!
unprotected = protected (little mistake)
DID THEY SAY THEY HAD "UNPROTECTED SEX"? FYI-SOME BIRTH CONTROL CAN FAIL. WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
WOW 10:49 CONGRATS TO U ,AND YOUR RACISM.
I GUESS U HAVE SOME EXTRA TIME ON YOUR HANDS WAITING FOR YOUR WHITE ROBE,AND SWASTIKA TO TO COME BACK FROM THE CLEANERS
How funny that Britney's # 1 site is saying that her mom is such a bad mother....hmm....I'm sure that plenty of us have done thing's behind our parent's back....doesn't mean that they're bad parents! X17....get a clue! No wonder Eva and Tony are taking you guys down!
Yes I am waiting for my stuff to come back from the cleaners. The fucking chinks take forever
great another spears fucktard coming into this world!!Nothing like making sure their (britney and jaime's)kids fuck up another generation!!Gotta lve those role models!
WELL THEN U SHOULD HAVE GONE DOWN TO THE RIVER ,AND BEAT THEM CLEAN WITH A ROCK.
THEN BEAT YOURSELF TO DEATH WITH THE SAME ROCK
Yeah that's a great idea, I'll get right on that...
I agree with Jen's comment below:
"As I see it, as soon as Jamie became a cash cow, Lynne no longer had any need for Britney. She did not want to deal with her anymore, she just washed her hands of her child.

Lynne Spears is an awful mother. She has 2 daughters not one, and all she seems to be doing is worrying about her Book that exploits her family and her new cash cow Jamie Lynnes carear. Its true that Britney took Lynne off her payroll, and look where it got her. I dont care how messed up your children are, a mother should be there for their children. When have we seen Lynne trying to help Britney or be with her?? When? Britney is 26. Thats my age. I still feel like i need my mother at times. Her mother should be trying to get through to her.
Lynne wake up! Camp outside Brits house if you care, most mom's would. Instead, what has Lynne done. She has started to write a book and has managed Jamie Lynnes career while at the same time letting her move in with her illegal boyfriend.
Thank You! I am with Dr. Phil 100%...How many mothers are as dedicated as Lynn Spears is....always there for her girls..with them all of the time?? Heck, kids do what they want...they have sex...they know better and they still have sex and unprotected at that! What in the HELL do you expect her to do??? You can not be with your teenaged kids 24/7. I don't agree that it was wise of her to let them move in together...if that is true but I'm not judging her either. My mother was a wonderful mother and I had sex--although I waited until I was nearly 18 to do so with my high school sweetheart! We used condoms religiously at first but after a while we slipped up sometimes and didn't use them. It was ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD that I didn't get pregnant then! Had absolutely nothing to do with my mother!
Shelly, a good mother doesnt let her 16year old daughter move in with her boyfriend. While i agree this has nothing to do with her being pregrant because teens will have sex when they want, a good mother would not let this happen.
Also, a good mother would not be writing a book exploiting her family when her family is broken and her oldest daughter needs help, and probably her son too. A good mother would do everything she can to help her kids.
A good mother would not turn on her daughter when she takes the mother off her payroll.
I personally think what Dr. Phil does is unethical and goes against a client's best interest. As a therapist, you don't expose the client's vulnerabilities to the public, especially via a forum like tv. Sure, he provides them with aftercare, but at what expense and for what purpose? His financial gain and to satisfy his ego? His opinion on anything doesn't hold much weight with me.
Dr. phil is actually not a doctor. He has no doctorine or any title of being a "Doctor". Just another T.V personality getting big off Oprah!!
ALOT of 16 year old girls are having sex and hiding it from their mothers, moron! Mama can't be with her 24/7.
having sex at 16 is horrible and approving it is worng. The schools are part to blame they teach it in sex ed they go into detail. The way girls dress is just asking for it way to small clothes. Waiting for the right guy and marriage is whats right if he truley loves her he would have waited. She also was raised religous and should know better. Her mom is just intrerested in money and Britney didn't have a baby until she was married get it right weather or not she had sex at 14 is a rumor and actually not our business.
Love the spears family

HOW MANY WANT TO BET THAT POOR ADNAN WILL BE WALKING AROUND WITH A COLD SORE ON HIS LIPS WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS FROM HAVING TO SUCK ON BRITNEYS DISGUSTING,DISEASE-RIDDEN BEEF CURTAINS? ADNAN YOU NASTY BOY! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
he has one already don't blame her he must be easy and wants braging rights to the other paps.
AK You and I definitely agree on the fact that it was a terrible idea for those two to be allowed to live together. I don't know what Lynn or the FATHER (because no one is mentioning Jamie and Britneys dad in all of this---he's the parent too!)--were thinking when they allowed that to happen.
I think Lynn is probably guilty of being much too nice and lenient on her girls. They were probably spoiled to death as children..always in the spotlight and she allowed them to always have their way...this is the problem and that's obvious. Is she a horrible parent for that? No. Many parents make this same mistake...at the time they don't think it's a mistake...they think they are just being a good parent by allowing their kids to have their way. Unfortunately, kids take advantage of kindness. You can't be a 'yes mom/dad' You have to be an ass kickin mom and dad these days because these kids will walk all over you if you allow them too. I'm not talking abuse..I'm talking FIRM discipline--words and actions!
How do you know that she had unprotected sex? Were you there? Maybe the condom broke. Maybe her birth control pills did not work properlly. They are only 99% effective is used correctly.
Instead of blaming the mother, blame the young adults involved in the situation. It's their personal responsibility to engage in safe sexual practices if they choose to have sex. Yes, even at 16, they have personal responsibilities. They are not infants. The mother is not to blame.
Ultimately, I blame the USA government's failure to develop a nation wide policy to have a fully inclusive sexual education program, discussing safe sex as well as abstinence, starting from grade school. Shame on them.
Dr. Phil is an asswipe. He can't even take care of his own "dirty laundry". Guess he proves Oprah can be a judge of bad character.
Dr. Phil has no credit. He can be bought. He will promote or glorify someone in exchange of favors. Maybe Lynn's publisher or Jamie Lynn's agent know Dr. Phil and ask for favors.
Shelly, a good mother doesnt let her 16year old daughter move in with her boyfriend. While i agree this has nothing to do with her being pregrant because teens will have sex when they want, a good mother would not let this happen.Last week I get more secret infornation about them at "RichLoving.com" But I can not sure it is ture.
What???!!! Is X17 dissing Team Britney??? Did you finally come to your senses??
X17 - SHUT UP!
LET ME GUESS? YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT YOUR 16 YEAR OLD IS DOING ALL THE TIME - EH?
MAYBE INSTEAD OF THROWING SLURS - YOU GUYS MIGHT WANT TO GET OFF YOUR ASS' AND GO FIND YOUR KIDS! - CREEPS!
WE WERE 16 ONCE TOO, REMEMBER?
AND I KNOW MY PARENTS (AS GREAT AS THEY ARE) WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW I *DIDN'T* GET CAUGHT ALL THE TIME!
LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE - IT REALLY IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS ANYWAY!
GOOD LUCK TO THE PARENTS TO BE - AND JAMIE LYNN, THANK GOD YOU DIDN'T *SNEAK* OUT THE CLINIC'S BACK DOOR ON THIS - YOUR A VERY BRAVE AND MATURE YOUNG LADY! AND YOU'LL PROBABLY MAKE ALOT BETTER MOTHER THAN SAY SOMEONE OLD WITH HUNDREDS OF NANNIES, LIKE THAT JOLIE CHARACTER!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!
2008 - HERE WE COME! :)
The true test of someone's character is how they act in a time of crisis. In Lynn Spears' time of crisis in finding out her 16!!! year old daughter was pregnant, she SOLD the story and her grandchild's first photos to a magazine. That speaks volumes to me!
Most likely she was taking the pill and she missed a day or 2. Timing can be everything when you're trying to prevent a pregnancy from happening. They do have the patch though that's actually really simple to use, just place it and leave in on for a month.=) Too bad Jamie didn't know that...or maybe she did but taking a pill everyday is more common, I think, nowadays. OH well...I can't believe it either. What can I say? Not much to say...lol. I know it looks bad but it could turn out to be a good thing. It just depends on task at hand and if Jaime can handle it.
dr. phil is an asshole!
ok x17, who said it was unprotected. shit happens. maybe the condom broke?!?!

Dr. Phil's just making sure that the world definitely knows that he is a quack! Funny, Oprah doesn't invite him onto her show anymore!
Hello, so nice discussion, but NEW YEAR is coming, how to celebrate the nice day? would you love to try something new ? interracialsingleonline.com you will be surprised…
I wonder if JL getting pregnant is a way to distract attention from Britney's bad parenting?
This is the first time I have logged on to this website. Very cool paparattzi pic's. But I just wanted to wish the best for JL Spears. Yes she is young, but she is not the first young girl to get pregnant and will not be the last. Look at the positive. babies are blessings, bring joy to families. Maybe this child will be the one who brings the whole Spears family back together.They say it takes a village to raise a family. This child will be fine and I wish only the best for them all.
Hey! Anonymous and Nail...Very funny. I think we all need to sympathize with the family before criticize! bless the whole sad family!

Maybe Britney needs to come live with me in the ghetto until she can get herself together. I have four grown children and they haven't went that crazy yet.she could hide out here and nobody would know who she is and that way she could just think abut the stupid things she is doing. I can't imagine somene with all that money and just maing herself look like a fool. She definently needs some help. She should take time to pray and ask god to help her get over all this stuff and move forward with her life.
