Just because someone is not 100% able to understand reality or handle finances or day-to-day living does not mean they are completely not functional or stop having skills or abilities.[/quote]

Right, but then it becomes a fine line between slavery and indentured servitude. What Britney experience was indeed slavery. She honestly just needs to quit working completely and see who still has a vested interest in managing her affairs then. It's clear that her family's entire motivation is just money.[/quote]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe she is currently thinking along these lines. Hasn’t she said that she won’t work anymore until her dad is no longer her conservator?[/quote]

And her dad isn't her conservator anymore.  She's complaining but she's not making sense.[/quote]

Well, it sounds like she wants more changes than just swapping out her dad. Which is fair. She’s a person, not a show pony. [/quote]

Read her statement.  She's complaining about going to a therapist 2x/week and a psychiatrist 1x/week.  And she's very upset that she wasn't allowed to go out and get her hair and nails done during COVID.   But all of these horrors that she's complaining about happened under the professional conservator, not her dad.  She hasn't done shows in years.[/quote]

Those complaints are not unreasonable on their face. We all got to make our own choices about which risks to take during the pandemic. I can understand that she would like to do that too. Also, she has enough money that her overseers could have allowed an aesthetician to be paid to do her nails in her backyard while wearing a mask. Her desires and preferences should in fact matter when it comes to her own life. [/quote]

Yes, NP, these requests seem more than reasonable to me, and more to the point, I question why it is remotely appropriate for a conservator to run her life down to the details like this.  Their job is  to protect her and her estate from serious harm, self-inflicted or otherwise.  It is just incredible controlling and sexist to boot to be telling her what she should do in terms of hair/nails, COVID or not, or even compelling more than the minimum in terms of health/therapy.  (And presumably she would have to comply with the laws of her location/state, so I don't see why COVID is really an issue at all).[/quote]

Does she live in California? They had some of the strictest COVID restrictions. Salons were closed for a long time and doubtful she could have gone to a salon or even get personnel to come to the house. Many of us “suffered” not getting our hair and nails done.[/quote]
