Then they're fools or hypocrites.
The right needs to acknowledge that people will do what they want. The best you can do is try to teach them well. A parent can only do so much. You give them the tools teach them and send them on their way. In the end people make their own choices and have to deal with the fallout.
The left can't have it both ways. They can't tell women to be strong and independent career women then get on them if they don't measure up to their standards of super mom. You're a mother, CQ. Raising children is a lot of work. It's even harder when you try to balance that will a full time job let alone try to run a state.
Agree, great points, especially about the "lot of work" and I only have one
Which I why I feel with 5 kids, one special needs, one pregnant - there is no way she has the time to do both effectively. One will suffer, and neither choice is optimal
Equal rights for women is great and needed, but if we as women make the choice to have even 1 kid, let alone 5...we really should put them first. If one wants to be career mad great - do it before or after kids, or do a medium demanding career. Many parents will question this, and it's not as she is female. If Obama had 3 more kids, one pregnant and one special needs - I would think he needs to get his ass home and be a dad.
And Shoot - I agree, no way should parents be blamed. Like you, I had great parents and I've made errors.
