Here’s a bad idea for you: raise three kids, two of whom are known worldwide for their mistakes – and then release a parenting book. If you’re Lynne Spears, you might just be delusional enough to think that’s a good idea. Once Jamie Lynn got pregnant, Lynn put the project on hold. Since then, it sounds like the concept has been reworked. The publisher is no longer calling it a parenting book – instead it’s being peddled as a memoir. Much smarter idea.
Lynne Spears’s memoir about raising her famous daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn will be released this fall, the publisher confirms to PEOPLE.
“When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold,” says a spokesman for Thomas Nelson, which publishes inspirational books and Bibles. “Lynne never stopped working on it because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother’s eyes.” Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” is likely to be released in September, says the spokesman.
“Lynne has had a dramatic life. People will be be very surprised to find out the kind of person she really is,” says Lorilee Craker, who worked with Spears on the project. “Lynne has been incredible to work with.” Spears’s manuscript “will not be a parenting book,” Nelson says. “It’s her story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It’s a memoir.”

It’ll be interesting to see if Lynne defends her parenting, admits to her mistakes, or just glosses over them. It’s been widely reported that she let Britney get breast implants at 16 and encouraged her to overtly exploit her sexuality for the sake of her career. Jamie Lynn got pregnant at 16. Her oldest child, Brian, lives in New York and isn’t involved in show business. He’s arguably the kid that’s turned out the best – though if nothing else, Jamie Lynn is still very young and despite the pregnancy could still turn out great. So could Britney, to be fair.
Lynne Spears doesn’t seem as delusional as someone like Dina Lohan, but she’s still got some explaining to do. Depending on how she handles tough issues in her book, it could drastically sway people’s opinion about her. If she fesses up to her mistakes, it could make you feel some empathy for a mother that tried and failed. But if she spends too much time defending her decisions, it could cause a serious backlash.

ummmmmm, it could backfire, people will understand… How bout, WHO THE HELL CARES. What has this woman got to loose. Her only fame is crapping out those kids. It doesn’t matter if we hate or lover her or anything in between. She’s not a celebrity, unless you go by the blogs and tabloids that treat all parents of stars as if they are stars themselves.

Do not want.

Sadly,
it will do well. Because people will want to know exactly how bad of a family they are.As much as I dislike Brittney and her family I tihnk it’s time to leave the girls alone. Let them have some privacy and maybe get their acts together.

They’re going to put a disclaimer sticker on the front right?

WTF is a memior? Damn CB, a m-e-m-i-o-r!
Again, WTF! Spellcheck the freakin TITLE -
No one will read it, I guarantee it.

I like how the memoir is about “raising two famous people”. What the hell? So the third child is chopped-liver because he refused to be prostituted to the masses? Or because maybe he didn’t have as much “marketable talent” (read: lip-syncing/mediocre acting) as his sisters?
What a horrible mother.

The name of the book will be “How I sold my children’s happiness for a boatload of cash for myself, and ensured their stupidity and insanity. Because of me my grandchildren will have to be raised by the pet cat and dog to survive their elementary school years, as no adult in the family has the child rearing skills to raise pet rats in cages”.
I am so putting that on my Amazon List.

My definition of “memior”:
“A twisted tale full of lies purporting to be a true account of biographic facts.
Easily confused with “memoir”, but meaning the exact opposite.” -
