She was going to raise it," Lynne told Vieira. "I thought it was a joke I was waiting for the punch line... I was in shock... then I started to cry. And she started consoling me at that point."Lynne blames herself for her children's personal dramas. "As a mother, don't we always blame ourselves?" she said. "I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame. The personality I have, it's always my fault.... read more 3 Comments
Lynne Spears on How She "Lost Control" Over Britney | Today's News: Our Take | 9/17/2008
Lynne Spears appeared exclusively on Today to publicize her new book on raising her star daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn in the spotlight.The book, aptly titled, Through The Storm — A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, was supposed to be a book about poetry and memories. That was five years ago, before Britney's failed marriages, custody battle, public breakdowns and Jamie Lynn's teen pregnancy. Spears, speaking to Today's Meredith Vieira, said the book quickly became a "set-it-straight" book.Spears also told Vieira that the book was never supposed to be about parenting, as was previously reported. Vieira made sure to point out that many critics of Spears look at her two daughters and think, "she has no business writing a book on parenting." (Possibly the understatement of the century).Spears does talk candidly in the book about how her darling girl Britney went from a happy singer/dancer to a troubled woman shaving her head in front of the paparazzi.

Spears Book Not a Parenting Guide, But a "Warning" | Today's News: Our Take | 12/21/2007
Was Lynne Spears' book, Pop Culture Mom, "delayed indefinitely" because of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn's pregnancy bombshell? That conclusion was drawn by those pegging the book as a "guide to parenting," a topic she now would seem especially ill-equipped to comment on. But Spears' publisher is trying to set the record straight, telling TV's Extra, "The media have inaccurately reported that [it] is a parenting book... but it's simply not true."Instead, Pop Culture Mom is officially described as "a memoir — and a warning," "a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities," and "a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it."
