So, I'm in turns amused and appalled by the attitude of the VP candidate, Sarah Palin, about her impending grandmother-hood. First off, what the fuck? Their evangelical christian way is obviously not working. Preach abstinence and neglect to teach about birth control options and look what happens: pregnant teenager. However, as an athiest, my way has worked. My daughter is 21 and hasn't gotten pregnant.
Part of the reason why it worked is that my daughter was smart enough to realize that babies are a shitload of work, time, and a lifetime commitment when she became a big sister at age fourteen and then again at eighteen. Not sure how smart Palin's kid is that she didn't figure that one out. She got a baby sister when she was about ten and then the littlest was born within the past six months (before she got preggers); did no one give her any responsibility at that time so she'd learn a thing or two? Apparently not.
I feel sorry for all of them. I feel sorry that Governor Palin has to put up with having her dirty laundry aired all over and I feel sorry that the kids are being forced to marry while still children. Like THAT ever works well. If the daughter has to be something, let her just be a MOMMY. She has to do that; she doesn't have to get married. That's just a recipe for disaster.
