Britney Spears recalls sons being 'rude' and 'hateful' during visitations at her house

Britney Spears has called her sons "rude" and "hateful" in a surprising message posted to Instagram.

The singer shared a lengthy post this morning in which she accused sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, of not spending quality time with her during their scheduled visitation times. 

"I know that teenagers are just hard to deal with … but COME ON," the 40-year-old wrote. "There's being rude then there's being HATEFUL," she continued. "They would visit me, walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door !!!"

Spears revealed there was a court-appointed monitor who attended the visitations with her sons – who visited two days per week – and she said they sided with her boys.

"The MONITOR would tell me that he just likes to be in his room," Spears added. "I'm like why come visit me if they don't even visit me !!!"

The mum-of-two said she never spoke out about the incidents to avoid being labelled "argumentative" but she always felt uneasy when they would shut her out or even request to stay "for only one day".

"I don't know what's going on in their heads !!!" she said. "I always TRIED and TRIED, and maybe that's why they stopped coming here !!! I wanted them to love me so much that I might have overdone it !!!"

Spears' insight into her visits with her boys come days after their father, Kevin Federline, told the Daily Mail they no longer wanted to see their mother for the time being – and that's why they skipped her wedding to Sam Asghari in June.

"The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. It's been a few months since they've seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding," Federline told the outlet.

"This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else," he added. "It's been tough. It's the most challenging thing I've ever had to do in my life."

In her post, Spears said she respected her sons' wishes to visit her "less" but she still found the request "pretty harsh."

"I talk about it because my heart doesn't understand the cruelty. It breaks my heart..." she wrote. "I can't process how I dedicated 20 years of my life to those kids ... everything was about them !!!"
