They're your children, D-Bag. You shouldn't get paid extra to watch your own kids.

no - i think that he's milking the system for everything that he can and it's absurd! i get why he gets money every month- but now not only does he get a CRAP LOAD of money each month - he gets to travel on her dime and stay all over the world - and we've seen how much time he ACTUALLY spends with the kids when he has them on tour - so it's not like he's doing all that much. it's BS to me.

Yeah he is the father !
Moreover, paid or not for the boys, the travel, the hotels, the meals.... I'm sure everything will be paid for him... It will just be great vacations !

I meant, said "yeah" because of what said "mondaymoos" lol

No I don't think so. They're his children and he should watch them for free. The thing is Britney dug herself into a hole with the custody battle and now Kevin can take advantage out of it. She has to pay for his lawyers. She has to pay child support and now she has to pay him.

She went crazy and she's still living in the nightmare. Kevin even brought his girlfriend along for the European tour.

Only reason I say yes because he is following her around the world. The money should cover his living expenses not to take care of his children.

He is their father for goodness sakes! What a money grubbing....jerk!

Hell yeah she should, obviously she is not stable enough to have them full time. Why should he have to pay to babysit her she is not stable enough to have them alone. Those boys are the cutest. What other divorced celebrity parents have to do this other than her?

He's being paid to go along on tour so that Britney spend time with her sons while she tours. This trip wouldn't have been on K-Fed's agenda otherwise. It's not that I like or respect either one of them but she can certainly afford to pay for the favor she wants which is having the kids nearby during the weeks and months she's touring. She screwed up when she lost custody. She'll continue to pay for that mistake until the children are 18.

This makes me sick.. those are his own kids.. he should be lucky Brit gives him anything!

AND most of you are saying he should because he's on tour..DOES HE HAVE A JOB?? lol what would he be doing otherwise.. im sure he's staying at the nicest hotels with the best accomodations.. he has nothing better to do.

In California when you lose custody, it takes years before it is settled. I had a step child that lost custody temporarily, but because of what California makes you go through to prove you are a fit parent, my step child lost custody permanently. That is sad, but in that case the children are better off. I am sure California still has a say Britney's situation and no matter how much money she has, she will still have to prove she is fit to have custody. Whatever you think of Kevin Federline, he is not the one that lost custody. She wants to travel around the world, she has to pay the price to have her children with her and that includes providing for Kevin since he cannot work and travel the world at the same time.

She shouldn't have to pay him an extra $30,000 a month! It's not like he's missing anything while he's out on tour with her. He's a deadbeat with no job. The $20,000 a month in child support is more than enough. I agree that if he's on tour with her that she should pay for his airfare and a hotel room. I put money on it that those kids are with a nanny half the time when they aren't with Britney. She may have brung this on herself but what he's doing is basically selling them back to her.

He shouldn't be getting paid to watch his own kids, that's ridiculous!

since when do people get paid to watch their own children?

Not at all. Do my parents get paid to take care of me??? No. Neither should he.

No, it seems excessive! It is so sad after how hard she has worked to make money (for a large chunk of her life) is seems to be going into the pockets of everyone BUT her

WTF? Of course not...he's the father of those kids.

I'll be your personal nanny for $30,000 a month and that would solve your child-care crisis Ms. Spears. Insane is what it's called the amount she's spending but for that amount I'd do it. I can see paying extra if he's having to take care of them on time that is considered hers by a child custody agreement. I would do the same thing I don't expect anyone to watch my children for free.

No. For the same reason that you don't 'babysit' your own children!

On a side note.. Those boys are cute. They're trying to breakdance, but it's not quite there.

No. He is their Father. Parents are not paid to look after their children.
I HATE when a man will say he can't do something because he is "babysitting". You don't babysit your own children! You care for them.

If going on tour was taking him away from full-time employment, then yes - I believe he should be compensated. It's her decision to go on tour and have the boys come with. What other ex-spouse/partner would give up their steady income to follow their ex around the world and look after their children while the other parent works? Not a lot. Most folks wouldn't be able to afford to.

That was my logical reply.

Now, because we are talking about Kevin specifically - he would leave any employer, if he had one, without a moment's notice so he could catch a free ride on tour with his famous and very wealthy ex. He has made it clear he would rather be taken care of....for life, by his ex-wife, than find a job and turn it into a career where he would be able to provide for his family.

At the end of the day - this whole situation is cracked.

People - if the roles were reversed you can bet money would be exchanged. AND it would be socially acceptable. Society doesn't want to acknowledge fathers as being the better parent or holding the mothers fiscally responsible.

No one should be paid to watch their own kids, no matter who you are. Child support I understand but going to Europe for free and then getting paid to watch your kids? No way.

You don't get paid to watch your own children.

Kevin has been there for those boys when Britney had her breakdown. He has also been there for his children with Shar too. When Britney wouldn't see her parents, Kevin allowed the Mr and Mrs Spears to have contact with their grandchildren. He may not be your cup of tea, but he has been the more responsible parent in this situation. He didn't pull a Denise Richards and make any claims against Britney or appear in any "reality" show exploiting his children. Money is nothing to Britney, until her dad took over her finances, she threw away more money then what Kevin will ever receive from her. People are only mad because it is Kevin and they don't like him. Say what you will about him, but his children have benefited from his parenting when their mother couldn't be there for them. Hopefully Britney will get her life together, in the mean time Kevin is there instead of just Nannies.

absolutely milk brit for everything she has Kevin!

no! he's their father and he's getting carted around the world! he shouldn't even want to get paid for that.

No, he should'nt get paid! What about the nanny's that tag along to "help" him with the kids!

can't he get a REAL job like everyone else who's not leaching off of celebs?

Ew what a leech.

I agree with the two of you. If roles where reversed, everyone would be telling Britney to get all she can "for her kids"; the standards shouldn't be any different because the custodial parent happens to be the father. Also, as much as people like to forget, Britney lost the custody of her children due to her own actions. If she wants to see her children at the other side of the world, she should pay Kevin for the inconvenience of traveling along. Actually, that sounds about right...he is not being paid to watch his kids, he is being paid for the inconvenience of uprooting them just so that she can see them.

yes, im sure all stay at home mothers and such would love pay 2....WTF?

paid to simply be a normal dad and watch his own kid?? this is beyond ridiculous and for sure, this guy is so shameless!!

i agree with dollylo, its ridiculous that he is made out to be the good guy if this is true when he's taking money to look after his OWN children, i that case when i have a child i want to be paid weekly for the sake that i am a good enough person for taking the time to look after them.....um sarcasm..... plus so sweet to watch these two, v sweet and so funny that the older one is copying the younger ones moves hehe.

Quills (post #22) summed it up perfectly, IMO. But I guarantee that Britt already pays for all food/accommodation/entertainment AND a full time nanny!!

I do think its admirable that Kevin is actually allowing her to take the boys on tour. I think it shows that he knows how important they are to her and he's being flexible. Most ex's probably wouldn't do that. But I also think he is taking advantage of the situation b/c he knows she'd probably do/pay anything to have the boys around her.

I think she should pay traveling expenses, but considering he doesn't have a job and isn't away from anything I don't think she should have to pay 30k a month + child support to watch his own kids. High priced baby sitter.

K-Fed is such a trash!! These two boys are his sons, why he takes money for watching them...

those videos are amazing! cute cute boys!

Heck no...Why should he..he is the father how can someone get paid for taking care of his own children!!!!!!!!that's just awful. Plus he already gets child support. That's just being greedy!!!!

Britney..I will watch them for free..they are so cute and adorable I will have a blast with them. I love just watching them play...they remind me of my son.

Why should he be paid to watch his own children? What about Kevin's other children? Why can't he be with them? Guess they aren't his meal ticket! Why doesn't he work? A lot of questions. Happy that Britney is getting her life back together.

OMG! He is such a pig.He gets $20,000, a month and wants another $30,000, thats more than some people make in a year. I wonder if he even loved Brit or just saw $$. He should be ashamed of himself those are his kids, he's not the nanny,I wonder what he/she gets paid.I can understand her wanting her kids there,but he shouldn't get paid anymore than he's entitled to, I know Brit has had her problems,but who hasn't, at least she's trying to get back on track. I don't follow the story much, but is Kevin paying child support to Shar Jackson for his other children,why doesn't he get a job, I hear Mcdonalds is always hiring.Talk about a dead beat dad.He gets to go places that most of us only get to see in magazines. All I can say is she really loves those kids, to put up with that. Brit is amazing he would be scrubbing my toilets and whatever else I could find.
