Bristol's baby is adorable! My issue certainly isn't with Sailor Grace, or even with Bristol, for that matter. I was just pretty gobsmacked last night seeing the incredible double standard of so many FReepers. Generally FReepers seem to expect a young woman to marry the father of her baby or, better yet, have a baby with the man she already married. Not on this thread, though. Standards just seemed to go out the window and Bristol's second pregnancy was more or less chalked up to a youthful indiscretion. Say whaaaat?

I don't care if Bristol's baby is supported by her mom's earnings, her grandparents' generosity, a welfare check or a massive jackpot win; I was just surprised to see so mamy FReepers suddenly make like it's no big deal. Bristol's "indiscretion" is more disappointing to many of us than "Shaniqua's" ever will be because we expect better from her.

I agree and see what you’re saying.

All I’m saying is it’s disappointing that our kids are supposed to have role models other than their own parents and family members. This whole thing of athletes, actors, various other celebrities (including Bristol Palin) being role models is so silly, imo.

I agree about Bristol being held to a different standard on here by some posters, just like she’s held to a different standard by the liberal media. Neither is right, imo.

Unfortunately, I’m probably paying financially and otherwise for Shaniqua’s offspring. That pisses me off more. I don’t really care about either’s “indiscretion” but Bristol is a reality tv celebrity and she set herself up for this commentary, imo.

She is really no different than all the other celebrities and reality tv show “icons” like the Kardashian clan. They’re only relevant because they have “fans.”

But I agree about how some here give her a pass because of her mother.
