A serious question - should a mother or father ask the permission of their children before pursuing something? Should a father ask his children if he can join the military before fighting the WOT? I can understand talking with them and explaining your decision...but to ask permission? And make your decision based upon them granting you permission

Right back at you.

Running for POTUS is a family affair.

Sarah Palin has a security team and deals with SERIOUS DEATH THREATS DAILY. A security teams that she pays for out of her own pocket.

Security is NOT provided until a candidate becomes the nomineee.

Her children were not 100% behind her run. They do not want to lose their Mom to a hater in the massive crowds she draws!

Think about THAT!

So, indeed, you seem to indicate that a parent should seek and get permission from children before making a major decision. Children certainly don't want their daddy killed in a war, so no fathers should go overseas to fight the war on terror correct? And how do you know what the Palin children feared? Was it their mom they feared for? Or was it the older kids who don't want public attention?
