Bristol is 19, lives in her own apartment and pays her own bills. She makes her own decisions and because she’s young(like most of us were) she will make some good decisions and some bad ones (like we all have). Is Sara supposed to hire a PI to follow her ADULT child around and report back to her? Just how do you expect her to “manage” the life of a child who lives on her own? And why should she? Bristol needs to learn these lessons as we all do.
Perhaps you and your family are just perfect but most are not. I had one son who challenged us constantly, got into trouble (spent a good part of his life grounded) and made a number of absolutely stupid mistakes when he first got out on his own. And even for a few years later. My youngest was a dream child...my reward for raising his older brother, lol. He was disciplined out of the womb. Probably why he chose the Marine Corps. Both my boys are wonderful people, one just needed to learn the hard way. If I tried to “manage” every situation he would never learn anything.
How much control did Reagan have over his ADULT children? Perhaps he shouldn’t have been elected either because he obviously couldn’t “manage” his adult children living on their own either. Knowing the hay the press will make of this and the way people like you are passing judgment on her fitness as a leader (Lord knows how she’s managed to have challenging jobs and raise a family with it’s challenges up to this point). As every mother knows, there comes a point where you have to “let go and let God”. Especially when your child IS LIVING ON HER OWN PAYING HER OWN BILLS.
