Jamie Lynn (Spears) dumped by doubting baby daddy

The whole Spears family could have their own reality show. I'm surprised some network hasn't made them an offer. What a mess.

OMG this is awful!

[Roenick]

I heard he'd been dating around and impregnated someone else before JamieLynn.

Oh look... the article says they both strayed.

[gibbrishclown]

yeah because that's apparently expected of teens according to how the article read to me... yikes!! I didn't stray as a teen... I still don't stray today.

I read it that way too and thought... :shock: I didn't do that.

Its a different generation and it seems they don't give a 2nd thought before moving on to the next person.

Goodness, he wants nothing to do with her until paternity proves he's the daddy!

Even if it does, there is no marriage in their future, both too young.

So we have a nation of babies raising babies and wonder why child abuse runs rampant!

These teens think nothing of jumping from partner to partner, they see it as popularity. Do they even know/care about Aids/Hiv factor, let alone teen pregnancy?

Our future politicans are in big trouble?

[FLYSODA]

Don't these mothers teach their girls about getting pregnant? She should have been on the pill. When my Daughter turned 16 I took her to planned parenthood and got her examined and got her on the pill. Weather she was doing something or not. I didn't want her life ruined. And I'm so glad I did. Today she is 32 and a Doctor with no kids yet.

You just said it all, LLL. :(

To be fair, not all teens can be judged by the antics of the select few. There are some really good kids out there who are living morally and IMO it's not fair to think just because they are young that they are stupid.

JMO and all that.

[emmeblu]

Guess the teens running a muck do not get that bad reputation anymore. Maybe society is too accepting of the behavior of some of these kids. Whatever happened to raising eyebrows at this kind of behavior? Heaven forbid, where are the parents of these out of control teens? My guess is they are either too busy or they enable their kids to carry on. Such a shame.

IMO, the majority of teens have high moral values and not all teens are out there having sex, drinking and doing drugs.

Would we want the kids to get offended at our "raising our eyebrows"? Heaven forbid...we don't want to hurt their feelings!

I agree - I don't think that the majority of teens act this way - in spite of it being pushed on them at every turn.

You are correct Pandabear, not stupid, just unexperienced. Like many, they think they know it all. I know, I did when I was a teen, but didn't want to raise a child before I raised myself. :girl_sad:

I read that these two had been "going together" for 2 1/2 years. She's sixteen. What was her mother thinking when she allowed her to start "going" with anyone when she was thirteen years old? Whatever happened to the group parties and such. I know that I'm old fashioned and my kids could easily have turned out the other way too, but I know for a fact that none of them was going with anyone when they were thirteen years old. They had boyfriends and girlfriends but weren't allowed on car dates or at anyone's home without a parent present. A thirteen year old can't be treated as an adult and expected to make adult decisions. I think these girls parents dropped the ball with them years ago. Seems that Britney has done the same with her little boys. Hope Jamie Lynn does better but I don't hold out much hope for THIS sixteen year old to love sitting at home rocking a baby.

Perhaps if we still had parenting like you and many other people did, there wouldn't be as many pregnant teens as there are now. Whats sad is many of these girls don't stop at one baby, they keep having more with different daddies. What kind of life is for the child? How that generation going to turn out? Its sad. We have a generation creating more poverty because they don't finish their education, live off welfare, and the kids born to them- thats all they will ever know.

Unless you are lucky enough to have the money Jamie Lynn does.

[proud irish]

What a shame. I just sure hope this one is raised in better conditions than Brit's children.

[Roamer]

Back in the day, "going together" meant eating lunch and walking down the halls together, maybe holding hands.

Obviously, it means a lot more now.

Kids in the spotlight grow up too fast, IMO, and are allowed way more freedom than we ever had.

[proud irish]

I agree with you Roamy. Kids in general grow up too fast or at least they try to. Seems like too many parents have just quit being parents. They let the teachers, coaches, clergy, shrinks, or any number of other people parent their children.

Children in the spotlight seem to grow up even faster.

Here's how *I* was so sheltered. I had my first (disgusting) kiss at age 14. The next kiss didn't happen until I was 18. NOT kidding.

Because of who I am and not about how I was raised, I wanted my son to know that sex was not a dirty word and that if he has questions, to feel comfortable in talking about the to either myself or his father.

Trust me, there are times when he comes to me with a ? and I want to do this, :a1chic: because I am sooooooo embarrassed, but he is very well informed about sex.

Now I have to pray he practices what we preach.

[Roamer]

At least he comes to you, Rockford. That's a big plus. And ditto on some of the questions they ask, lol.

Now days it's here's 50 get lost.

I do agree with you.

Back in our days, dating more than one boy at a time was acceptable, cause we were not "making out" like they do today.

Remember when "making out" was just kissing"?

:thud2:

he knows a HECK of a lot more than I did at his age!

MosGranny,

Yep, I remember what the term, 'making out' sure meant, and it didn't imply 'home run.'

:girl_haha:

or not in my book it didn't.

Remember when "making out" was just kissing"?I hesitated to mention this for fear that someone might get the wrong idea but you're exactly right. Often we dated one boy on Friday night, another on Saturday night and still another on Sunday afternoon. Everyone did it except the girls who were "going steady" and we often wondered exactly what that meant. I think I now know.:yes2:

[Lucy]

I do agree with you.

My kids went to a really small, Christian school and almost everyone knew everyone. We were all involved in all school events. The men built things that were needed and maintained what they could. The women ran concession stands, made uniforms, stage curtains or whatever was needed. I don't remember ever seeing one complete ballgame because I was always working. We got as close as family. My daughter was at that school for seven years and a few of the parents never darkened the door until graduation day. The rest of us just took up their slack and took their kids with ours or whatever. One girl who lived around the corner from us was in my daughters class every year. We took her everywhere we went. I never met her parents. Those people had no way of actually knowing who that girl was with. She could have told them anything.
