Unique asked: I know this is politics but I really want to know what all the moms think about the McCain’s running mate gov. Palin. I mean she is a working mom with young kids, and a “special” baby, and ME being a working mom knowing how hard it is to try to be good at everything, I mean…. when you are a working mom and you still have school age kids it is very hard to try to keep up with everything, sometimes it is very complicated trying to manage work with school activities then after school activities, and your home…..I am not judging anyone, we all can do anything if we put our effort….but a Vice President is a very demanding job which will require her FULL time commitment, is she doing the right thing? I don’t condemn anyone who has aspirations and want to succeed at job BUT there are some jobs who will require our full attention, you know travel, meetings, emergencies, etc….so where does your family fits in this?? is it better to wait for our kids to get a little older, so they can enjoy us as parents?
I hope this question doesn’t sound rude, I don’t want to offend anyone, I am a working mom and I try to do my best on raising 4 children (17,13,8 and 2 years old) but even though I manage my time to be there in any activities my children need me, and the house, etc, at the end of the day I am exhausted!.
I don’t care who are you voting, that’s a personal decision that I just hope is based on more than race or gender.
But when she got nominated for VP and later found out that her older daughter was pregnant and what she stands for in her beliefs about sexual education in school, etc, got me thinking …. it doesn’t bother me AT ALL that it is a woman, but it really makes me think the role of a woman in this society …..and how everything is changing from how it was 50 years ago.
That’s all!!! NOT TRYING TO MAKE A POLITICAL DISCUSION OR TRYING TO INFLUENCE YOUR VOTE OR ANYTHING, just wanted to know how are we mothers percieving this whole election thing.
