Britney Spears’ mother Lynne has said that she is to blame for her daughter’s erratic behaviour and also revealed that she first found out that her other daughter Jamie Lynn was pregnant at age 16 in a note.
Appearing on US morning talk show ‘Today’, Lynne Spears commented on daughter Britney's difficulties with the courts and the media in 2007 and earlier this year.
According to Reuters, she said: "As a mother, don't we always blame ourselves? I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame. The personality I have, it's always my fault."
Lynne Spears went on to tell interviewer Meredith Vieira that she thought her other daughter Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy at age 16 was a joke, and that she first heard of it through a note.
She said: "It said she (Jamie Lynn) was pregnant and everything was going to be OK. She was going to raise it ... I thought it was a joke. I was waiting for the punch line.
"I was in shock. I think I was just truly in shock, and then I started to cry. And she started consoling me at that point."
Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to a baby in June and is raising the child with her boyfriend at her home in Mississipi.
Lynne Spears has written a memoir, 'Through The Storm', which is being published this week and which concentrates on her daughters’ fame.
