Is this really “normal” parenting?

WTH? YOU shouldn't be giving students the evil eye! What is wrong with you?

I didn't see the video. But many of you sound so classist. People from different cultural backgrounds raise children differently. You all think you are above the work I g class people you speak so ill of. You cannot even see how neurotic and dysfunctional your little snowflakes are.

You are no better when I see you bribing your spoilt kids in the store. You beg them to listen to you in the playground.

I just went and watched the videos. Maybe it’s because peoples reactions on here, but it didn’t seem too bad to me. I also have boys though so I know how bad they can be. If these are the worst examples they have over 14-16 years, I think she must be pretty good most of the time.

I watched the videos on TMZ, but they were obviously edited clips. I don't know if they were edited by TMZ, or if that's how Federline released them.

It seems like the kids were intentionally "pushing her buttons" and then filming the reaction.

Her behavior wasn't ideal, but I have to wonder how much she (as someone who is known to be mentally ill) was "provoked" into behaving that way. If she was intentionally goaded into behaving that way, I don't think the kids came up with that plan on their own...

ur asking a forum of white middle-upper class educated people this question. this is the forum where people ask their children for permission and fear being authoritarian and center their kid in everything.

and teenagers will try tf out of you and make you scream.

Heaven forbid a teacher gives her students a stern look rather than yell at them.

To set Britney off, so he could film her reaction, most likely at K-Fed's request.

Who knows. I remember when Britney went barefoot in a gas station bathroom and people freaked the f out. That was 2009 maybe? When I saw the clip of her getting so upset at her son for being barefoot, I remembered how MEAN the media was to her when she went barefoot.
