I will never understand why women attack other successful women in this world, we should be cheering each other on and supporting each other in all that we do whether we feel our calling is to teach, to stay home, to homeschool, to be a CEO of a company or to be the Vice President of the United States.
If it was a father of 5, there would be no discussion here.
First of all, having a nanny does not make you a horrible mother, nor does it make you less of a mother and it certainly doesn’t mean that you don’t love your children. Most nannies do many of the mundane day to day tasks for parents so that when they are with their children, they are with their children 100%, not distracted by laundry, or grocery shopping but totally with their children.
How many sahm can honestly say that they get to spend time with their children with their attention 100% focused on their child. I have known many SAHM in my life and sadly the majority of them are focused on a million other things besides their children.
If you have never walked in Sarah Palin’s shoes, do not judge her!

The Palin’s have always had nannies. Even Track had one. Just ask around in Wasilla.

Interesting that people keep bringing up how Sarah is a “mother” to five children – and didn’t abort or give up the downs syndrome baby, chose to keep it and raise it.

How many hours — or even minutes — a day do you really think she spends with this child? Or any of her children? I’m a working mother myself, and I don’t have the luxury of a nanny to be there to wake my children up, make their meals, go shopping for them, etc. Let alone the needs of a “special needs” child. My cousin is a special needs child – my aunt quit her job to stay home and provide all of the additional stimulation he would need.

No way can anyone convince me she is Trig’s mother. The nanny is. Palin uses him as a prop and object lesson for her views. How can you call someone a mother who is literally an absent parent.

“wholeseome American values” — hmmm, who really teaches them? Clinton’s daughter graduated with honors from high school and college; Kennedy’s turned out wonderful. Obama’s appear to be on track. W had drunk teenagers; Palin has pregnant 17 year old. Who really taught good values?

BREAK THE GLASS CEILING !!!
WOW … What a great pick!!! America should elect
McCain & Palin for the Whitehouse in November,
for a return to wholesome American values.
An experienced Governor for V.P. vs. a
community organizer for President … I pick Palin.

Poncho, far from minimizing your remark, I take heed of it. Who could be better qualified to know what “going down” looks like?

Special Ed Teachers Appalled by Over-Achieving Super Moms, a spinoff group of Nattering Nabobs of Negativity, are circulating petitions protesting the past successes and achievements of Alaska governor Sarah Palin on the grounds that it “just makes them look so darn feeble and it hurts.”

There are press releases that spout how great it is that Palin was back at work, as Governor, the day after delivering her youngest child…

Find a better news source…it was three days.

As a special ed. teacher, I’m appalled that she is leaving her youngest child, an infant with special needs…

Your employer pays you to worry about how Alaska’s Governor raises her children?

In addition, in high school her nickname was ‘barracuda’ for her illegal maneuvers on the court;

“Gov. Palin grew up in Wasilla, where as star of her high school basketball team she got the nickname “Sarah Barracuda” for her fierce competitiveness.”

If you are getting your news from TNR, WP or The Jed Report you would be better off just staying at DU.
