Are you being serious??? No way in h*** will the spouse of the Vice President of the United States be on the deck of one of the Deadliest Catch boats! His “earning a living” days will be put on hold, I’m certain.
Also, relating to the child, I would anticipate that the Palins have thought this through - they don’t seem like starry-eyed naifs. Why don’t we have the decency to let their family make decisions for their family.
Furthermore, little Trig will probably be the single best cared for Down’s child in the world! He’ll have his mother (most of the time), father (probably full time), teenage sisters, grandparents, other family - I don’t believe they would mind spending some time in the Naval Observatory helping their Vice President. Also, don’t forget the staff, nannies, clinical care providers (speech therapy, tutors, etc) that will be at Trig’s beck and call. And, as Newt Gingrich pointed out, Mom’s office is a 10 minute motorcade ride from home. I anticipate that the child will be extremely well cared for and, I would predict that as he grows he will become the poster child for special-needs children both in our country and around the world. Just think of the great things for these kids that Trig and his family will accomplish - first, by noting that knee-jerk abortion is not a necessity and that they have (as many others have posted eloquently about on FR) innate beautiful qualities that are mostly only known to people who live with them.
Yeah, I know hubby’s life will change too.
Doesn’t really change my opinion, though. I really doubt that mom will be able to be there “most of the time.” Pretty tough to be a full-time or even part-time parent when you’re the VP OF THE UNITED STATES.
Full-time Dad or no full-time Dad, little Trig can’t be “extremely well cared-for” if mom is too busy to be around, in my view. Sorry.
