'I'm a good mother', Britney claims

[KiwiCoromandel]

Britney Spears claims her marriage to Kevin Federline is "awesome" but admits she is an emotional wreck in a new television interview.

The Toxic singer opens her heart about her allegedly failing marriage in an interview due to be shown on US TV this week.

The star tells Matt Lauer from NBC's The Today Show she finds the constant rumours about the demise of her marriage "sad" because she "thinks everyone should be pro-love".

Britney, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, also attacked the constant intrusions into her private life - specifically referring to when she was photographed driving with baby son Sean Preston on her lap.

She fumed: "I can't go anywhere without someone judging me. I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I'd drive. We're country. I know I'm a good mother."

Britney also went on to lash out at the paparazzi who she feels "make her a target".

She said: "You have to realise that we're people and we just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being."

Britney - who has sold around 85 million albums - married Kevin in September 2004 and they had their first child almost exactly a year later.

He already has two children - Kori and Kaleb - with ex-girlfriend actress Shar Jackson.
