After the problems of the last few years Britney Spears seemed to be getting her life back together but she found herself in hot water again this week when she was criticised in the US after her sons were overheard swearing. The children, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, are said to have surprised guests at a recent VIP event when they were overheard shouting “oh, s**t” to each other, although it’s their mother’s behaviour that has attracted the most criticism. “She was too busy picking out freebies to chastise the boys for misbehaving,” an insider told the New York Daily News. “We were all surprised by their potty mouths, but it was actually pretty funny.” Recently, Britney blamed the children’s swearing on their father, Kevin Federline. “The boys are starting to learn words like “stupid”, and Preston says the f-word now sometimes,” Britney told Rolling Stone magazine. “He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.” Hmmm.
