Jamie Lynn and her Lynne in October, 2007
The Spears family continues their full-on media blitz about what a star mom 17-year-old Jamie Lynn is. Maybe they’re trying to make up for all the damage Britney caused. The very fact that Jamie Lynn moved home to Kentwood, Louisiana and seems to be planning on raising daughter Maddie there does say a lot about her commitment to doing what she feels is best for her baby. OK! has some sort of deal worked out with the Spears clan, and had an interview with Lynne yesterday, in which they talked about how Jamie Lynn is handling being a new mother.
How proud are you of the way Jamie Lynn handled the pregnancy?
She’s been totally responsible. She is an old soul and very wise at such a young age.As she was getting closer to her due date, what were your biggest concerns for her?
We have a history of difficult labors, and I didn’t want her to be terrified and never want to have another baby because mine were traumatic. I really worried about that, but my goodness, she just flew right on through it.Describe that first moment when you saw Jamie Lynn, Maddie and Casey together.
Oh, my god. That is one of your most precious moments ever. Just that sight. It is indescribable.What do your grandkids call you?
I started out being Nonnie, but it turned into Me-Ma.What kind of mom is Jamie Lynn going to be?
A very good mom. She’s warm and nurturing. And the most fun time will be when she’s the soccer mom, the carpool mom. That was the most fun I had as a mother.You don’t live very far away from Jamie Lynn. Are you planning to babysit?
It’s too soon for that yet with an itty-bitty baby, but I’ll go over as often as she wants and help with the dishes or the laundry. I’m always ready for my phone call.
[From OK!]
It’s always hard to tell how much of what’s said is honest and how much is PR bullshit, especially with a magazine like OK!. That said, it seems like Jamie Lynn is doing a really good job handling an unexpected situation. True, she has more advantages that most teenage mothers, but it’s got to be overwhelming for her no matter what.
Celebitchy reported that Jamie Lynn and Lynne were supposedly fighting because Lynne was planning on going to Los Angeles to help big sister Britney. OK! reports that she did indeed jet off to the west coast on Thursday. Jamie Lynn has had three weeks of being a mom… under most circumstances, it seems like it’d be fine for Lynne to leave. But it really does sort of seem like her 17-year-old daughter with a new baby should have a bit more of a priority than being with Britney while she puts out a new CD.
I thought Jamie Lynne and Casey are living in Mississippi in a little house they bought.
I’m sure, too, that his family is helping them with the baby. Long term I think helping Britney fully recover is probably something Lynne needs to be giving just as much time to.
I get this feeling that Jamie Lynne really doesn’t want to be a celebrity anymore. She seems to just want to be “normal” and just be a mom and live a quiet life.
Diva, I am under the same impression you are about Jamie Lynne not wanting to be a celebrity anymore. Jamie Lynne probably wants a regular happy life with Casey and have him be the baby’s daddy. 👿 But you know her mother isn’t done milking money outta that child yet aka paternity test. 😈 Jamie Lynne needs to so desperately cling to Casey’s family and stop speaking to her family for a while just until she gets things figured out for herself.
Lynne really needs to butt out and leave them alone. Seems like Jamie Lynn got all the maturity in that family.
Lynne is in la la land. YOUR DAUGHTER IS 17 and had a baby and not married.. WTF???????? You should be so embarrased. Again, 17!!!!! She cant even vote. Shame on you and your ‘Christian’ beliefs.. bible thumper. WIERDO
I hate the assumption that because she is doing what she’s SUPPOSED to do as a new mother that suddenly JL is some kind of role-model. We’re congratulating her on finally being responsible for an irresponsible act– anyone else see the contradiction?
If Jamie Lynn was responsible and very wise as her Mother states, she would never have gotten pregnant as a minor.
Oh please. People need to get over this unmarried mother thing. Like millions of teenagers the world over, she got pregnant, had her baby, is now trying to be responsible and build a life for herself and her family.
JL’s not the one asking for credit here, it’s her greedy, media-hungry mother. SHE’S the one blabbing her mouth off to anyone who’ll listen and grasping at every opportunity to ensure JL remains an on-going source of income. Lynne Spears is the irresponsible one here, not her daughter.
geronimo; I agree to a point, but….
One of my three daughters got pregnant at 16. I did everything I thought to do to prevent them getting pregnant, among some of the measures were; talked openly about love, sex, STD’s and pregnancy. All of them went in for gyn. appts and I put them on birth control. Six months later one got pregnant on Prom night. She had run out of her pills. Her explaination for not refilling her perscription was; They spent all their money on prom. That was my daughters stupid choice/priority. She never once asked for the money to refill it, nor was I aware of that fact. How was I irresponsible? You can’t always blame the parent.
No, daisy, the irresponsibility I was referring to was Lynne’s seeming reluctance to let JL fade into the background and get on with her new life while Lynne can still make money out of her. That’s not someone with her daughter’s best interests at heart.
Wasn’t referring to the pregnancy thing at all. Not blaming Lynne (or anyone else) in the least for JL getting pregnant. That’s JL and her b/f’s responsibility entirely.
Thanks for the clarification geronimo 😉
Ugh. Of course Lynne is jetting off to be with Britney while she puts out another album! Britney is back to being the cash cow now that Jamie Lynn isn’t going to be working for quite a while.
jamie lynn looks old… is it the hair?
Lynne is a liar. She never once took her kids to soccer practice. Unless soccer practice entails head-shots and vocal training. Bitch, please.
Lynne “loved” Jaime more when she was Zoey 101, now that she is a stay at home mom, Lynne could care less
Wow. Once every 16 year old in America reads that article and assumes their own mom is just going to be “thrilled” and “proud” of her for getting pregnant like Lynne is of JL the pregnancy pact club will need their own space in the yearbook for further glamorization.
ok…I´ll admit, I am the responsible for all this …Brit´s cracking up, Jamie getting preggers and for the global warming as well!lol
Blame on me!
I think Lynn’s definition of a soccer mom is out of wack. when I think of a soccer mom I think of somebody who is married, their kids are about school age, they work very little, their husband brings in the dough. This seems a far cry from Jamie Lynn.
I feel for Jamie Lynn she’s only 16. She was working at 15 and now she’s had a baby. She should have been an adult when these things happened and living the life of a kid now.
Daisy I agree with you I don’t think it’s always the parents fault. You were responsible with your girls but some parents seemed to be very shocked when these things happen.
There are plenty of teenage girls and even grown women who want to get pregnant on purpose-through deceipt- for all the wrong reasons. Just saying…
She gave birth to a soccer ball ?
Jamie Lynn’s decision to raise her baby on Kentwood is definitely a great decision a mother should do. In that way, her baby would grow up to be at peace and away from the bad influences of the showbiz industry. Way to go Jamie Lynn!
BTW, your baby’s cute! 😀
It’s what Britney should have done, but all that money and mental illness made her worse. She doesn’t know who she is really. At least Jamie will be a little more grounded than she is. And Lynn needs to mind her own business and let Jamie handle the shit with Brit, if not she’s screwed!
As if any of them have touched laundry or dirty dishes since Britney started raking in the big bucks for the family.
Pah!
Of course Lynne had to go and see Brit Brit put out a new CD… duh, you always have to coddle the money machine…..
Lynne is a twit, and it’s good to see JL acting responsibly for now. Time will only tell what is going to happen in this clan.
Jamie should be playing soccer. It was Lynne who should have been a soccer mom instead of whoring her girls out to the entertainment industry in order that they support her and her family.
This girl is 17. She is a child. This family is completely out of their collective minds.
That’s nice, but soccer mom is not a long term career. What will Jamie do after her child is grown? How will she earn money to survive? Many child stars don’t make it into adulthood.
I think Jamie Lynn should of followed her heart and keep Maddie Briann out of the spotlight as much as possible!! Poor Baby she is going to grow up and be just like her Mom, or her aunt!
