My parents had 8 kids.....Dad worked and Mom worked and went back to school for her Masters....but you better believe they knew what was going on with their kids....and we paid the price if it was not right!!
I guess my real concern is not her as a Mom...that is her problem to deal with....BUT
I honestly think she is not the right person for the job....if you can not manage your own
household and family....and work at the same time.....how are going to run the country if you have to give one or the other up?

AS A FATHER OF DAUGHTERS, what I have learned is the following:
1. The kids don't care about the kids of the President, Vice-President, Governor, Mayor, dog-catcher or neighborhood cop. The only ones that matter are the "A-List" kids at the junior high school and high school (and sometimes, the more exclusive sororities at college). Kids aren't into newspapers, Hannity & Colmes or Meet the Press.
2. The public school sex education programs provide so much "birth preventive systems" information that kids think they really can have their fun at no cost or risk, and all kids think they are bulletproof to start with. Oh yeah, if the preventive systems fail, there's always abortion. THAT is the message they really learn at school.
3. The kids these days start pairing up like they are heading for a cruise on the Ark at age 10, and it gets worse as they get older (e.g., 12) if they haven't got a steady boy/girlfriend because of peer pressure. All of this is local, and has nothing to do with the occupants (current of future) of 1600 PA Ave and the Residence at the Naval Observatory in DC.
So, don't worry about the Palin family and their trials as being the topical scapegoat if a daughter gets pregnant. Just look at what's going on at the schools and hang-outs within a twenty-mile radius of wherever you live. That's where kids get their information and role models.
