Jamie Lynn...thanks for the learning op!

I had a talk with my 10 year old daughter tonight about the latest celebrity buzz...Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy. Spears' stars in one of my daughter's favorite shows - Zoey 101. My daughter informed me that they (the show) are writing Spears out of the show and pretending that she's going off to school or something. This prompted a converstation about how getting pregnant at 16 can make life a whole lot more challenging, cause the pregnant girl to give up career opportunities and possibly ruin what would have been a prosperous future career. I don't take the route of condemning her or judging her. Everyone makes mistakes, right? I don't feel the need to use her as an example of negative, but rather use this as an indirect learning opportunity for my daughter to see one of the people she looks up to dealing with natural consequences for her choices. My daughter understood where I was coming from and seemed to comprehend the negative consequences that could subsequently result in this situation. So, thank you Jamie Lynn, for providing me with a way to teach my daughter a learning opportunity tonight.
