A source told America’s Star magazine: “After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mom, Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.

“Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the lifelong consequences of having a baby. She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realises she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.

“Jamie Lynn will be back at work and trying to remind people of her talent and not that she is an unwed teenage mother.”

Fantastic. Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that sixteen years from now we may be revisiting this saga, but for a new generation? Just a blank slate for the parents who molded Britney and Jamie Lynn in the first place.

Jamie Lynn Spears to give up baby

According to an interview with OK! Magazine, the father is Spears’ ‘longtime’ boyfriend, 19 year old Casey Aldrich. I’m not quite sure what constitutes ‘longtime’, but I’m positive it’s not long enough to be having a kid.

From tv.msn.com:

Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.

“As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn’t tell anybody,” she says. “Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me.”

Let’s just hope she is more like K-Fed than Britney.

On a related note, this latest Spears drama was enough to anger the gods of irony. After the implosively terrible year of parenting exhibited by Britney Spears, mother Lynne Spears actually had a book deal and was in the process of writing a book on parenting. That was ironic enough to make my head explode. However the book deal was dropped by the publisher shortly after the announcement about Jamie Lynn.
