Britney Spears is in her feels now that her children are turning into young adults!
The pop star, who shares sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, took a moment to reflect on how hard it can be to watch her children grow up so fast in a new Instagram post on Sunday. Alongside a series of cute photos, the 40-year-old noted that her new puppy Sawyer is already getting SO big — something that has reminded her a lot of her kiddos! She shared:
“My baby is getting bigger. I will just say it just like when my boys got bigger … IT LITERALLY SUCKS. They don’t need me anymore … I’ve cried oceans for my boys and I’m not lying!!!!”
Awww!! That’s a lot of crying!
While her sons might be getting more independent, not everything is the same when it comes to taking care of a dog. Brit noted one silver-living of welcoming the Australian Shepherd into her family, adding:
“Oh well … but Sawyer … yes, he’s bigger but he will always need me and I like that.”

In the past, Spears has been candid about her sons’ desire for privacy, sharing in a September upload:
“I have to ask their permission to post them because they are extremely independent little men.”
Every once in a while she gets to squeal about them on her feed, she added:
“There’s a lot I can’t share with you all because my kids are very private which I love but I will tell you they are both extremely talented and I’m so incredibly blessed to have these two little men in my life!!! And if they’re reading this … which I’m pretty sure they’re not … I love you two little devils so much.”
In October, she was seemingly beginning to get baby fever when she teased of her teenagers:
“Why can’t they just stay babies forever??? They will always be MINE!!!!!”

A few months later, the Crossroads alum was allowed to post a sweet family photo (below), happily remarking:
“I haven’t posted pictures of them for some time cause they’re at the age where they want to express their own identities and I totally get it …. But I went out of my way to make this cool edit and guess what …. They’re finally letting me post it !!! Now I don’t feel left out anymore and I’m gonna go celebrate …. Oh s**t I guess cool moms don’t do that … Ok I’ll just read a book instead!!!!”
Hah! The Toxic vocalist also expressed how sad it’s been for her to see Sean and Jayden mature in the blink of an eye, continuing:
“It’s so crazy how time flies …. My boys are so big now !!!! I know … I know … it’s very hard for any mama especially a mama with boys seeing them grow up so fast !!!! Talk about enough to make you go to your knees … GEEZ !!!! I’m extremely lucky because my two babies are such gentleman and so kind that I must have done something right !!!!”
She has so much to be proud of! All this talk about parenting really has us thinking she might try to have a little one sooner than later! Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
