As my dad and I drove home from the disappointing sox game today, we turned are radio to xm channel 126, CNN headlines. The discussion on the station was between a male and two females, and it was about whether Sarah Palin can be a good mom to her kids and fulfill her do if elected vice-president. One of the ladies, presumably a democrat, was saying that there is no way that Palin could do a good job of being V.P while taking care of 5 kids. One example that they used was that she brings her baby to governmental meetings in Alaska, and that there is no way that she could do that in Washington. I totally disagree. What, is her newborn baby secretly a Iranian spy, I don't think so. There is nothing wrong with bringing her child to meetings, especially because she will no longer be nursing him at the time of her potentially being elected. And as for the other kids, its not like Palin is a single mom. She does have a husband that is a loving father, who will obviously be able to take care of the kids while moms at work. Yes, there are some things that only mothers can do for there kids, but its not like she will be across the globe all the time. Yes, if elected, she would have to travel a lot, but I think that she will still have enough time to be a good mother to her kids, and a grandma to her coming grandchild. Thats another thing, her pregnant daughter. Yes, maybe if mom told daughter a little more about that subject, maybe this wouldn't have happened, but it comes down to the daughters choices, and all the blame should not go to the parents.
If elected, Governor Palin would be able to fulfill her job as a v.p and as a mom, but not necessarily in that order.
Here is a link to a video on the subject.(sorry for the title of the vid, not my vid)
