Sarah is digging her own grave by not controlling the yaps of her family as much as humanly possible. Other politicians are successful at this, why not she? It's an age-old problem in political families but it does not always need to be. It's a problem that comes with the territory.
Bristol is better off not accepting a dime right now from the ex-boyfriend. Let him put money in a trust for the baby. The less contact she has with him, the better, even more so in anything regarding money. It's always a bone of contention....and more fodder for the tabloids.
I assume she and the baby are living for the time being in the big family home on the lake. I don't think anyone will starve in this arrangement.
