Britney Spears has been criticised over her parenting skills again after she stumbled with her eight month old son in her arms as she left a Manhattan hotel last week. The singer apparently tripped on her trousers whilst on her way to her car, jerking son Sean Preston's head back and knocking his hat off; he was evidently prevented from actually falling by the quick reaction of one of Spears' assistants, who steadied the singer.
Spears has of course been criticised previously over parenting skills, because she sat baby on her lap whilst driving, and didn't get him to hospital quickly enough after he knocked his head recently. But all of these people calling the poor girl's parenting skills "open to question" should, on this occasion, probably just shut up. People trip. Mothers trip. Sometimes they trip with babies in their arms. Luckily for them, they're not usually international superstars so they don't get vilified for it.
