Britney Spears' sons reportedly take "days" to recover after being in her care.

The 'Toxic' singer - who currently shares joint custody of Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James with ex-husband Kevin Federline - allegedly doesn't have a set routine for the boys and this makes them unsettled and upset.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Dealing with the kids after they come back from Britney's is really hard on Kevin. It takes him three days to get them back on any type of schedule."

Friends close to Britney - who has been accused of keeping her children up late at night so they won't wake early in the morning - puts her poor parenting skills down to a lack of education.

A source said: "She loves her children so much, but it's like she's never been taught how to properly take care of them. She looks lifeless when she holds them. It's like she doesn't understand the impact of being a mother."

Meanwhile, Britney is set to hire a new lawyer for her bitter custody battle with Kevin.

Attorney Sorrell Trope - who has represented Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage - will replace Laura Wasser.

Wasser resigned on Monday after a court heard Britney's former bodyguard claimed in a written statement the star had taken drugs in front of the boys.

The judge later ruled Britney must undergo twice-weekly drug tests and attend parenting classes to prove she is a suitable mother.

Britney and Kevin were initially granted joint custody of Sean and Jayden when their divorce was finalized in July, but following Britney's erratic behaviour, Kevin is now fighting to become the primary carer.



Meanwhile Justin Timberlake has publicly distanced himself from ex-lover Britney Spears.

The 'SexyBack' singer - who dated his former Mickey Mouse Club co-star for
four years until they split in 2002 - claims he doesn't recognize his first
love anymore.

Justin, 26, told US chat show host Oprah Winfrey: "I don't know what's going
on with her, to be honest with you. I haven't spoken to her in years.

"I mean, there's no ill will - I have nothing but love for her. It's funny
because we dated each other at a time - wow, I haven't talked about this in
a long time. It's interesting.

"We were teenagers, you know?

"I think that's basically the best way to describe what happened to us. I
think she's a great person, and I don't know her as well as I did."

This year, Britney has seemingly imploded under the world's glare. Her
worrying antics have included shaving her hair in public, drinking, partying
and accused of drug taking.



He said: "What I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a
great person."

This is old news.  K-fag always had a smug look on his face.  I would be upset if I was having to drag my children through what they are going through right now.  I wish a rabid Britney fan would ____ him.  Someone should let him know how to pose with a double chin.

Yeah, right Kevin the great parent. HA!

Damn i wish that i could paid for every story i read about these two.

i find it very amusing that K-Fed is at a JT concert. i thought only gay boys and teen girls liked his shit.

ok, i kid, his music is pretty not sucky. still won’t buy it though.

Keep the kids with their Mother.  The kids are usually in her arms   That is a more then too many receive.

Poor Guy.  Guilt by association or is this a recial issue?

I think he still carries a torch for her, first loves are hard to get over lol

He and Britney will never be over each other. All her downward spiral,crazy antics,depression and desperation began after they broke up.
Federswine should get nothing. Did he ‘fight’ like this for any of his other kids?
Something the court needs to look at. Britney is being used as the scapegoat for all of it.

Justin Timberlake looks like a little old man sitting there.

Shar Jackson (Federline’s ex) was quoted as saying that he was a ‘good’ father to the children they had together, and you don’t hear any allegations against her for alcohol and or drug use and neglect of their children.  I was thinking that the laws of taking Britney’s children away from her were lax, but then I remembered that Courtney Love lost custody of her daughter for more than a year after overdosing in front of her and actress Kim Delaney lost custody of her son after he he testified about her driving drunk while he was in the car.  Justin Timberlake could have at least made some positive comments of moral support for her future pop music career—what a wimp.

that’s probably b/c kevin has nothing to gain for telling things on shar. she is just there in case he wants to tap it again here and there. As long as he and brit were together and she wasn’t dumping his ass, he was silent.
Also, she was often bitching about HIS druggie ways before she dumped him and he was dubbed Fed Ex.
Shar and Kevin smoke weed together, get drunk together and fuck whenever federswine wants to.
