I love when people assume someone didnt raise their kids right because one of them got into"trouble".

i didn't say that either. i said that sometimes you can do everything right and they still do the wrong thing.

My mom told me that horses would hurt me and you know what she was right , but it didnt stop me.

You pretty much said that because she was in politics and not at home taking care of her kids that her daughter became preggo......

i used to beg my mom to quit smoking. and then one day i started too. but i ended up quitting so it worked out i guess.

"perhaps palin should have spent more time with her daughters and less time on her political career, then they wouldn't be fodder for jokes right now."

that's what i said. had their mother not been in politics, they wouldn't be in the limelight, and being used as weapons against their mother- both by the left, and by comedians. they also wouldn't be used as pawns by their mother for that matter. they could be normal kids-some of who do end up pregnant. you think it's in her kids best interest to have her gone for days, weeks at a time, with kids ranging in age from 17 to infancy? that's good for a child? a juvenile, a teen?



i also said "and yes, sometimes kids still run into trouble regardless of a parents' best efforts"


but i do stand by what i said, that her and most kids would do far better if their parents gave them more of their attention, instead of the kids playing second fiddle to a career.

They do have a father dont they ? Letterman was an ass for saying anything about her kids period. We can agree to disagree.

they sure do. but girls of 13 and 17 need their mother, just like boys that age need their father.

but yeah, letterman and the others probably should stick to the adults.

If anybody is interested, you can watch Letterman tonight and see the "Top Ten List of Things Overheard At The Fire Letterman Rally".

No thanks but thanks 4 the heads up :zz:

women are holding more and more higher positions in the workforce today (corporate and public) - to that extent family life is going to be different that what it was when you were a kid.

people are having to work in some cases 60+ hrs a week each just to afford a moderate lifesytle for their families today - and it takes 2 incomes just to make ends meet in certain parts of the country .... the days of the stay a the home mother are over except for the really really rich in this country
