How the Palins decide to raise their family is up to Todd & Sarah. As long as its a family decision and the family is supportive and accepting of the issues that go along with the position, they will get through it. That’s why they call it “service” and “sacrifice”. Let’s not forget that there are countless mommies and daddies going to Iraq to serve this country. Is Dr. Laura going to chastise them as well?

Although I am glad Palin is going to be serving our country, I see a lot of hypocracy on FR about this. A lot here sound like Democrats, in that it is similar to it is nobody's business if a child has 2 dads, 2 moms, or whatever. I guess our society has become so liberal, that even conservatives are not concerned with children. All I read is 'it's nobody's business', not reasons why her kids will be fine. Nobody seems to care about them.

Except Dr. Laura. She always puts the child first. Apparently she doesn't have many listeners here because it was obvious to me from the beginning she would not be for this from a child-raising viewpoint. If one choses to have children, those children's needs have to come before all other priorities - whether you are a garbage collector or the vice president. I have to agree with her on that.

The difference between the Dems and our VP is that her husband will be raising the children, and has indeed already cut back his working hours to spend more time with them when she was governor. I've read that he left a job making over $100,000 a year and now works seasonally at BP in order to spend more time with his family. Contrast this to the Obamas, where both are working full time. I think a dad OR mom with the children is wonderful - and bless Mr. Palin for stepping up to the plate. He's the best First Dude. A good role model for young men,
