Jamie Lynn Stands By Her Mother

Publishers put the kibosh on a child-rearing book by Lynne Spears, but her pregnant teenage daughter thinks Mom’s done a bang-up job. Jamie Lynn Spears “takes time to hit back at critics who question the way she was raised by her mother” in OK!

While Lynne’s older daughter, Britney, works out her personal issues in every public venue but the “Dr. Phil” show, Louisiana’s unofficial Mother of the Year is sharing her parental prowess. “Jamie Lynn and her mom will be raising this baby together,” a source close to the family told the magazine. “They’re in this together.”

In fact, the Mirror reports that Jamie Lynn, who “unlike her big sis, seems determined to be a good mom,” is attending parenting classes with her mentoring mom. With her second chance on the way, Lynne may be looking to bone up on her own maternal acumen — but what about the baby-daddy?!

He gets a pass on parenting class, but OK! reassures readers that Casey Aldridge is still in the picture. “Casey and Jamie Lynn are still together,” an insider said “And of course he’s the father!”
