3 no-fail hacks for getting the kids out the door

Explaining the Britney Spears conservatorship in m $Explaining the Britney Spears conservatorship in my latest blog post (click on the link in my bio). Fun fact. I almost crossed paths with Britney Spears on my honeymoon. My husband and I were hiking up the volcano on Nevis in the Caribbean, a hike that required a machete-wielding guide to break the path. As our guide happily slashed through the vegetation without cutting off any body parts, he regaled us with tales of all of the celebrities he had led up the volcano, including the day before, Britney Spears. Back to her conservatorship. Her claims aren’t shocking to me because that’s exactly what a conservatorship is, a court giving someone total and absolute control over another person’s life. Every decision, major or minor. Permission to drive a car. Permission to make incidental purchases. Permission to even vote. The usual conservatee is someone with dementia or Alzheimer's, or a developmentally disabled adult. Not someone who is capable of releasing multiple chart-topping albums, going on tours, and performing a four-year concert residency in Las Vegas grossing $137 million. So why is she still under a conservatorship? She’s capable of making millions of dollars, but can’t be trusted to spend a minute fraction of her earnings? She’s trusted to be a judge on The X Factor but not to vote in a local election? I don’t know the answer to that question, though I do know conservatorships, especially one like Britney’s where there are many people (attorneys, caretakers, doctors, family members, etc.) earning salaries from the conservatorship, are difficult (if not impossible) to challenge and unwind.
