Good point. Not only is Todd on the job - and appears to be very capable at that - she has Bristol, Willow and even Piper who I am sure do a lot of the physical care of the baby as well. Bristol will have her own baby soon, and is starting a new life with her hubby-to-be, but there’s still Willow and Piper.
Everybody keeps saying, how can she do this with five children. But the oldest is now an adult and isn’t even home anymore, the second is soon leaving home, the third is almost grown up, and the fourth looks like she’s coming along just fine in spite of her mother’s public life.
My sister had a baby after the youngest of her oldest four was five. She barely had anything to do because those four older ones *fought* over helping to take care of the baby.
Trig is in excellent hands and has better care than most babies. If this was Sarah’s first baby and had no other kids and/or an absent husband, I too would be really concerned. But given the circumstances as they are, I’m not.
That Piper is adorable!
I agree. The family looks great and will probably work very well to help.
I have to say that I was dissapointed, though not necessarily surprised by Dr. Laura’s comments. I like her opinion in a lot of areas, but I don’t check with her for everything, which I’m afraid some of her listeners may do.
This seems more a libertarian than conservative argument to me; I don’t know Sarah Palin and her family. I simply assume that she and her husband know what is best when it comes their family. It’s really none of our business and seems obnoxious that I should have an opinion on what anyone’s family should do.
