Zeno's Bar & Grill

In a sentence that we never thought we’d see ourselves write, we’re happy to see moms springing to the defense of Britney Spears, who is being savaged in the press and blogosphere for her parenting snafus.

Sure, skipping the car seat was an unmitigated disaster, but the latest “scandal”—which has led to a whole new meaning for the phrase “oops, I did it again”—just doesn’t seem fair. Who hasn’t experienced an accidental spill involving their child? If not actually a near-drop, like Brit's, then maybe the dreaded bed roll-off, or other pitfalls.

And hence, we are of two minds about the Mamarazzi blog, which is fascinating in a guilty pleasure kind of way, and which covered the Brit scandal with their typically acerbic wit—no one can deny these ladies are funny. Their slogan is “because celebrity parenting is so easy to snark,” and it’s true. Snarking celeb parents is like shooting fish in a barrel.

On the other hand, isn’t all parenting easy to snark? And just because we can snark, does it mean we should snark?
