Evangelical leader critical of Palin choice

[Marcy]

Here's my two cents, you don't have to agree or like it.
I am a mother of two children and I provide childcare in my home for others. I have been a childcare provider for 15 years now.
I just think Sara Palin will have to give so much of her time to politics and that will take her away from her family too much. Right now her children need her. Our children are young only once and as a parent I have poured myself into my kids as well as others kids. I want to be the one to influence my children in their formative years, if they make bad choices, I have no one to blame but myself, if they make good choices, then I must have influenced them in a positive light.
Just my two cents.

Have you seen how many days off government workers get? I'm not just talking goverment holidays...I mean, look up the work schedule of the Senate. VP is a lot like that. She'll be home more than most working moms.

Seriously -- it may actually be less hours per week than her job as Governor.

Call me old fashioned if you must, I think moms should be home with their children full time at least until they are a certain age. I don't know exactly what age that would be but stay home with them until they start school at least. I know people think this is not manageable in this day and age but let me tell you it is. It is all about sacrafices and priorities. We live on a modest income and I do mean modest. We make less than $25,000 a year. We drive older cars, have purchased a home that does not have a large mortgage payment, we don't get to "go out" for example to the movies, or a ball game too often, not even once a year. We don't have credit card debt, this is by choice, and there have been many other sacrifices we have made all in order for me to be at home and raise my children myself. I am blessed beyond measure by the Lord and all of His goodness in my life, I would not trade my decision for anything in this world. My goal is for my children to make heaven and for myself to make heaven as my home as well. Heaven will surely be worth it all. After all, all these things on earth are temporary and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, I won't be taking anything with me when this life is over except my soul.

I appreciate your sacrifice but there are many other politicians that have kids at home. This example would basically mean that we feel woman should not have a full time career. Maybe that is your thoughts, dunno. I do know in some areas you cant make it without both parents working the cost of living is just to high.
She does have a husband that can help as well. Just as other politicians have their help mate.
I think it is courageous and feel she has been a wonderful example for her children. That is just me though.
