Here's my question about Palin. She is the mother of 5 children and will be taking on the responsibility of an unplanned grandchild. How is she the picture of family values when she is sacrificing being with her small children to pursue her ambitions? Hillary Clinton was criticized for being a working mother, but she had only one child. With 5(or 6) children to care for, it's hard enough when you don't work; how is she to be an effective mother when she's in another country, and scheduled to be in 6 states in 4 days? Thinking of this issue, it crossed my mind of how funny of a Saturday Night Live skit that will be. They should show her trying to be the president with children running everywhere. I simply question how much individual time she will have with each child and if she has bothered to think much of their needs. Growing up with a nanny never proves to be the same thing as having a mother and/or father home.
Don't get me wrong, I believe a mother can have a career, but being away from your children to the extent that she will have to be away from her children is generally done when that parent has to do it to provide for the family. If she wants to be in politics, maybe she should wait until her babies are at least teenagers....but obviously being away from a teenager too much has bad results too. No, I am not a sexist, so no one need bothering accuse me of such. I simply know the truth of what happens to children when parents trade them for big careers. Ask Martha Stewart's daughter. If she thinks being the vice president or president won't effect her time with her children, she's wrong. It is my personal opinion that she doesn't really care or is in denial about how much her children are going to suffer. It's simply not a choice I would make, as a mother. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
