It is well known that the relationship between Britney Spears and her children is extremely complicated and tense. Since the end of the singer’s guardianship, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, have barely visited her mother. Recently, her father, Kevin Federline, revealed that they were also not at the wedding of the “pop princess” with Sam Asghari.
These statements disturbed Britney, who, through her Instagram account, confessed that it fills her with sadness to hear what her ex-husband exposed. In addition, she said that it is not easy for any parent to raise teenage children and that she has tried to give them everything but that her mother insisted that Kevin take care of them.
Unfortunately, it seems that the difficult chapter of the interpreter of Sometimes with your children is far from over, So in an interview for TheDailyMailbroadcast last September 2 on ITV, in the company of his father, Jayden launched a series of revelations about his mother.
The youngest of the singer’s children narrated why he and his brother made the decision not to attend the singer’s wedding, held last June.
It was not a good time to go. I’m not saying I’m not happy for her. I’m really happy for them, but she didn’t invite the whole family. On the other hand, if it was just going to be Preston and I, I don’t see how that situation would have ended in a good way.
In addition, Jayden assured that his grandfather “does not deserve all the hate he has received” in recent years from Britney and that, despite the singer’s claims, he does not consider that the whole family has manipulated her.
They are not bad people. They know what we are going through now. They want our future to be what we want. They just want to watch over us. ‘Memaw’ and Uncle Bryan are a big part of our lives. They have taught me to deal with life.
Hours after the interview was broadcast, through an extensive statement on her Instagram, Britney responded to her second son’s statements:
I tell Jayden that I send her all the love in the world, every day, for the rest of my life. He did my best to try to be the best person possible. I hope my children understand it one day. My love for them has no limits. It saddens me deeply to learn that I did not meet your expectations as a mother. Maybe one day we can talk about it face to face!
I guess it’s easier for you to live with someone who doesn’t check to see if you’re doing your homework. I’m sure your dad’s standards of smoking weed every day benefits your daily life to belong to such a cool generation. I completely understand your need to live with him, as I had to play the perfect role for 15 years for absolutely nothing.
In addition, Britney took advantage of her message to attack her ex-husband, whom she called a “hypocrite” for saying that she wants to protect her children from the media and then makes them talk about such private and sensitive issues on television.
It’s horrible to see your dad being a hypocrite and saying that the media is horrible and they have you talking about personal matters with them! […] Remember where you come from, I hope that one day you can look in the mirror and remember that you are my son and always will be. Preston hasn’t spoken, so I send him all my love. I would just like to see you face to face. Jayden, you are brilliant, keep playing because you have a gift for the piano. I am proud to be able to call them ‘my children’.
Ultimately, the pop star concluded that if her son couldn’t agree with what she claims his family put him through through conservatorship, “then yes, he has failed as a mother.”
