(Editor's note: The interview cited in this story has been disputed by representatives for Lynne Spears and the magazine that published it, Life & Style — head here for more information.)

Finally opening up about all the drama stirred up by her superstar daughters, Lynne Spears gave an exclusive, no-holds-barred interview to Life & Style, which will publish its chat with her in next week's issue.

In the interview — which a press release from the publication called "emotional" — Spears dished about Britney's ongoing troubles and Jamie Lynn's unexpected pregnancy, and she pulls no punches about either (she also does a lot of praying, apparently).

"I pray for Britney every day to be a better mother," Spears told the publication. "She's gone through a lot of trauma, but she seems to be coming out of it — and it's showing in her relationship with the boys. They're really bonding."

Lynne and Britney ended their long estrangement in February when Brit left the UCLA Medical Center, and ever since then, the elder Spears (whom the magazine goes to great lengths to point out is "exhausted-looking") has been shuttling back and forth between Los Angeles — home of Britney and her two children — and Kentwood, Louisiana, where Jamie Lynn is staying.

Speaking of Jamie, Lynne Spears admitted that she was frustrated by her 16-year-old daughter's pregnancy — which was announced via an OK! magazine cover story back in December — but that she's relying on divine intervention to help her (and, we're assuming, her daughter).

"I'm a bit disappointed that my youngest daughter got pregnant at such an early age," she said. "All I can do is turn to God for answers and just leave it in his hands."

But despite Jamie's young age, Lynne is certain that she will make "a wonderful mother." "She really has a way with children — she's a natural nurturer," she said. "I just wish she had waited a bit."
