Oh god, this is so not the solution.
According to a source talking to Star magazine:
“After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mother Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do. Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the life long consequences of having a baby.
“She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career. So she’ll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter.
“Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn’s future in the business and she’s expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born.”
Let’s assume the last paragraph is truly the point here. If she’s not working and big sister Britney can’t be bothered to promote her album, no one is bringing home any bacon for momma.
And also, it contradicts what Jamie Lynn said when she broke the big news to the tabloids last month:
“I can’t say it was something I was planning to do right now,” the 16-year-old confesses to OK!. “But now that it’s in my lap and that it’s something I have to deal with, I’m looking forward to being the best mom I can be.”
A true shame. This 16-year-old girl seems to be more fit to raise children than her mother has proven to be.

I know this is an old story, but your opinion bothers me. She’s 16, and I doubt that leaving it up to her to figure out how to raise a child is a good idea. Granted Britney didn’t turn out so well (I’m not going to comment directly on their mother’s parenting abilities; sometimes bad kids happen to good people), but any woman who deals with an “oops” pregnancy, especially a teenager, is less ready to deal with it. If her mother takes care of the baby while Jaime lives as normal a teenage life as possible (with the added responsibility of chipping in for the baby’s care, of course), I don’t think that’s a bad idea. I may be personally biased, though; one of my cousins had a baby when she was 17 and her mother took care of the baby so she could finish school and go to college. It certainly wasn’t a perfect arrangement, but they made the best of it, and my cousin got to get an education so she could find some decent work and, by extension, take care of her baby. So while I do understand where you’re coming from, I take issue with your conclusion.
Thanks for the website and the entertainment– even if I don’t always agree with you, it’s my nice little daily dose of schadenfreude.
if that is not the solution for you then what is? abortion? adoption? alice is right, let her have the chance to live her life while chipping in with the baby, hence, dealing with the consequence of her action. in life, what you think is best does not necessarily be the best for others.
