Lynne Spears wants her daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn to "find their purpose in life."
"Something that will really fulfill them and make them grow to their full potential," she said Thursday on Fox's The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet. "I want them to feel really good about themselves."
Asked if she wishes her children never were famous, Lynne says, "I don't know.
"There are certain things I would do over, of course," she continues. "I always hoped that my children would fulfill their dreams and this was their dream. Certain aspects of their dreams, I would certainly rearrange or change."
But Lynne maintains she is not to blame.
"People think I was this stage mom, that I was pushing my daughters to do what they did," she says. "I was actually their cheerleader. I have never been their manager, that's never been my role. I was the one that got their coffee in the morning and [got them] out of bed."
She praises Britney's ex Kevin Federline with helping the family get through all the personal drama.
"I do like Kevin. He has been good to us," she says. "Kevin could have been a real pill about a lot of things, but he wasn't. He worked with us and has really tried to make everything good for the boys. He has thought about them through all of this."
She also says she empathizes with Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, whose teenage daughter Bristol is pregnant.
"I'm glad she didn’t have to go through as much scrutiny as I did," says Lynne, whose daughter Jamie Lynn, 17, gave birth over the summer. "Nobody wants their children to have these kinds of hardships or bumps. Who would want that?" via
