After finding out the news of their young daughter's pregnancy, the parents of Jamie Lynn Spears are both reacting with shock. Lynn Spears has opted to put her parenting book on hold, which she probably should have done right after Britney shaved her head, but whatever. According to the publisher, the date for publication has been "delayed indefinitely ... It's delayed, not canceled." Maybe she's hoping that between now and the publishing date, she can have a child and raise it correctly. As for Jamie Lynn's father, Jamie Spears, he is said to be "furious" over the fact that Lynne spears sold the pregnancy news to OK! Magazine. As for his reaction to the pregnancy news, he's not please and "feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life," according to a source that dished to Us Weekly. I guess it could be worse...she could be getting married.

I agree, she shouldn't make to mistakes in a row, NO MARRIAGE.
Chaz says:
Us Weekly didn't get the exclusive, so naturally they're covering the other parent and his alleged anger over the situation. I wouldn't put much stock in any of it. Heck, it's rural Louisiana. We should be glad the father isn't a family member.
I remember ASL posting about a Jamie Lynn pregnancy rumor back during the summer. The rumor was bogus, but it had to be based on a sense that she was sexually active. You wonder why the elder Spearses didn't use that as an opportunity to warn Jamie ("I was shocked") Lynn about the consequences of teenage sex, especially given the disaster her big sister has become.

Thank God I don't have to endure her singing/acting career and she can go straight into "train wreck".

So, I don't know about the age thing in the USA, but here in Canada, Casey would be charged with stat. rape. I'm just saying........ everyone is making such a huge deal about jamie lynne being preggers, but what about the fact that she is a child & her bf is an adult.....

DavidDust says:
Lynn Spears writing a parenting book is like Amy WineWarehouse writing a book about sobriety.
Shakétta says:
i think that Lynn Spear's book should be a parent must, kinda like Dr. Spocks "what to expect when you are expecting". it is basically a manual of what NOT to do when rearing children.
Applespice says:
LMAO @ DavidDust- that was great.
no says:
on another tangent...why do people name their children after themselves? very ego-centric, so we shouldn't be surprised at the outcome of this family.
fellasheowed says:
the fact that the kid isn't going to need wic or government cheese should stem the outrage about how could she? she is a kid...she has every reason to look around and think she is special and that it couldn't happen to her...that being said..her caereer as what britney might have looked like is over...and her back door deal came a little too late...but unlike some others who would have aborted it, she is making the first big sacrifice and that is huge imo
Esther Greenwood says:
The stat. rape thing is more dependent on the parents, from what I hear. Because Jamie and Lynn have condoned the relationship, he won't be charged with stat. rape. I believe there is also a clause that states if both parties are underage when they start dating or are within so many years of one another, it won't count as stat. rape. From what I understand, J/L was 13 and this guy was 16 when they started dating...
Either way, it's sad, IMHO.
sdfad says:
Didn't Britney's parents elope and get married at a very young age in Vegas?
Redneck Monkey see, Redneck Monkeys do.

Cheri,

stat. rape.
Nonsense. Canada's age on consent is 14. Yes, 14! Sexual relations with those 14 through 17 is only illegal in cases of authority, dependancy, or exploitation. The Senate is currently reviewing a bill to requiring those having relationships with 14 and 15 year-olds be within a five year age difference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America
Most US states have either 16 or 18. However, many allow even lower provided the age difference is not great. In additional, prosecutors rarely file charges in the case of pregnancy, marriage, or when no one presses charges. Putting this guy in jail and giving him a sex-offender record isn't going to help Ms. Spears, the baby, or society out. Far better he get a job and start being a father.

It's really all about values and self esteem!!!
Oh to be a PRINCESS! - It's a dream of most little girls. The challenge of inspiring these little would be princesses to give the same attention to inner qualities as they do hair, makeup and clothes is one that many parents know all too well. The challenge becomes to define the princess world in terms that a young girl can not only dream but LIVE!
This challenge was the inspiration for Sandi Stonebraker when she wrote "On Being A REAL Princess, Secrets of the Happy Heart Princess". This book is about how to be a princess from the Inside-Out! It's about how it feels to be a princess.
Featured in the book are sixteen princesses from around the globe who dance into your world with affirmations and messages on what it means to be a REAL Princess. They understand that a REAL Princess is strong, smart and kind. She knows how to think for herself and is proud of who she is and what she believes in. She dreams big and knows that she can make her dreams come true. She understands that everyone is different but each person is special.
The book includes interactive journaling activities dealing with values, self esteem and decision making. It is a useful tool for parents, teachers, religious leaders and other caregivers to open a dialogue with little girls on all those important issues they face as they grow up in an increasingly complex society.
The author feels that it is never too early to begin the discussion on these simple values and feelings and although the book is targeted to ages 4 to 10, all ages seem to feel it's power in reminding them of what it is to be a REAL PRINCESS!
If you are a parent, grandparent, religious leader, teacher or just someone who has a special little girl in your life, this book is a must!
