It's the second time Britney has spent time with her children since her visitation rights were reinstated late last week.

The star's visitation rights could again be in jeopardy with new claims her parenting supervisor has handed in a blistering report on her mothering skills.

The sealed file has been described by a source as "very damaging", detailing how Britney "paid her (monitor) no attention or respect at all, as if she were some employee whom she could blow off."

The source told Us Weekly: "Britney's often distracted and in her own world when she has the kids and has a hard time focusing".

"She is adamant that she doesn't have to listen to anybody."

The report will be taken into consideration at the next court hearing in her ongoing custody battle with ex husband Kevin Federline, which is scheduled for October 26.

Britney is expected to ask for the 50/50 custody arrangement to be reinstated while sources say Kevin will ask for 70/30, and may even push for permanent full custody.
