However, Spears did admit in a separate Instagram post that times were tough when she had her children. But at the very least, she wasn't paying attention to anything media related, despite the storm the birth of her children caused.

“My first record came out when I was 16 and I got pregnant at 24,” she wrote. “I thought about it last night. I was a baby raising two babies with 17 cars outside my house!!!! I didn’t know how to play the game … I do know from the outside by what was said in the news, people were like, ‘WTF is going on with her," she revealed.

Raising her kids came with some added stress, especially in one particular instance alongside her nanny.

“She wanted to be a mother and thought she could snap her fingers and be the perfect mom,” a “pal” told the mag. “But Britney is learning the hard way that being a good mother is something you always have to work at," the publication writes.

Problems for Britney persisted at the time, as a separate article would be released, claiming that Spears and former partner Kevin Federline got into an altercation over leaving a club.
