Though she claimed that she's a good mother, Britney Spears is most likely to spend more time on shopping than playing with her children

Britney Spears spends 17 times more on going out than she does on her two children. The troubled singer - who lost custody of the two boys to her ex-husband Kevin Federline last month - spends only $6,000 of her $737,868 monthly earnings on child care, according to papers filed in her divorce battle, which were kept sealed until yesterday (01.11.07).

Britney spends $102,000 a month on entertainment - going out, gifts and vacations - $16,000 on her wardrobe, almost $50,000 on her mortgage and $10,000 on utility bills. While Kevin - who is currently attempting to kick-start his acting career with a role on US TV drama 'One Tree Hill' - claims he earns nothing, he receives $20,000 a month in spousal support, and $15,000 in child support payments from Britney. The child support payments are expected to continue until the boys are adults, because Britney is the main earner in the family.

Meanwhile, 25-year-old Britney claimed earlier this week she is a "good mother" and is "doing the best" she can. She said: "People say what they want and do what they do. It's really sad how people - how cruel our world can be. But at the end of the day you've got to know in your heart that you are doing the best that you can. As long as you know what's up and what's true, then that's all that matters."
