If there's one thing you need to know about Britney Spears — besides the fact that she has been in a conservatorship for over 13 years* — you should know that she absolutely, positively is obsessed with being a mom.

*A conservatorship that she is currently trying to get her father Jamie removed from. Read more about that here, or if you haven't already, just watch Framing Britney Spears for a good primer.
If you're a Britney fan, then you know nothing makes Britney happier than being with her boys.

It's actually "Sean Preston," but Britney insists on calling him just Preston.
We've grown up with them!
