The Queen of Pop is certainly worthy of our Mom Crush Monday. From putting out hits like “Hit Me Baby, One More Time” and “Toxic,” to creating successful perfume lines and debuting her own show in Las Vegas, Britney Spears is a force to be reckoned with. However, we’re pretty sure if you asked her what her greatest achievement is, she would say raising her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden.
Spears, who was raised in Louisiana, has had an extremely successful career thus far. She’s had her fair share of ups and downs, as well as heartbreaks, but she’s always come out on top. If there’s anyone we want in our mom-corner, it’s Britney Spears.
For this week’s Mom Crush Monday, we rounded up Spears’ take on motherhood, falling in love, and more.
On how she rehearses …
On her kids’ good hygiene …
On worrying about her boys …
Spears told The Daily Mail,
“I’m worried all the time, and always thinking about what we should be doing and should not be doing.”
On how she prefers to end the day …
On her own type of “therapy” …
Spears opened up to The Daily Mail saying,
“But when I’m onstage, it’s like my therapy time. I get to be this person that I’m really not. It’s a way to get out of my own head and have some fun.”
On not taking herself too seriously …
On how she handles homework …
Spears explained to PEOPLE,
“Homework is a priority. We have a reward system that helps motivate them: if they get so many As, they get one toy a month.”
On her favorite people …
On describing her boys …
Spears gushed to PEOPLE saying,
“Preston is very opinionated, very expressive, and if he doesn’t like something, he’s going to tell you. But he has a huge heart, he’s a good kid and he has manners … Jayden is sweet, very soft-spoken, kinda funny. He’s adorable — a momma’s boy.”
On spending time with her niece, Jamie Lynn’s daughter, Maddie …
On all of her success …
Spears told Stylist,
“For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something, it’s being happy with who you are.”
On her first love, her dad …
On raising her sons in the public eye …
Spears, who is constantly being photographed, explained raising her children to Telegraph saying,
“I kind of keep them in their world – their kid world, away from the limelight. I feel that’s a different side of me. ’Cos, you know, it’s a lot to deal with. For a lot of people. Especially if you’re shy, like my boys, it can be overwhelming.”
On how she likes to unwind ...
On being inspired by her mom …
Spears paid tribute to her mother, telling Telegraph,
“My mom is a wonderful woman. She’s always been an inspiration to me, but having kids helped me make even more sense of my relationship with her.”
On how she feels about her critics …
On falling in love …
Spears admitted to Telegraph,
“Each time love takes you over. It feels different every time for me. Every guy who I’ve been with, it’s been a different kind of love.”
