Dr. Phil Says Lynne Spears is a "Great Mom"

If Dr. Phil would like to keep his street cred, then he’d better watch what he says.
The usually tough-as-nails doc has crucified plenty of parents on his talk show, for their lax parenting skills, but Dr. Phil says that’s not the situation in the case of Lynne Spears. “We know the Spears family, particularly the parents,” he told People.com. “An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother.” Dr. Phil says, despite Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy at sixteen, and Britney’s, well Britney’s over-all debauchery, their mom has “her feet squarely and solidly on the ground.”
“They’re a very strong, close-knit family,” says Dr. Phil’s wife Robin, “They’re relying on each other. I talked to Lynne yesterday and she said they’re turning to prayer, asked that I pray for them. That’s how they’re going to get through it.”
Come on! I would totally expect the McGraws to rip Lynne a new one. What a buzz kill.
