wonderful-she's running the state, who's running the house? and yes, sometimes kids still run into trouble regardless of a parents' best efforts-but having a mother on the run for months at a time while running for vp, and thrusting young kids into the limelight and dog eat dog world of politics can't possibly be in the best interests of those kids.
old fashion does not cut it anymore , i wish it did, but , more and more women are in the workplace - they are mothers and they are going to work 80+ hrs a week once they reach high levels in corporations and gov't - that's what it takes in these types of jobs to make it - total dedication to the job , there is no shortcut , no sunday's off , it's 24/7 - that's the way the world works today if you want a high level job at the corporate or gov't level ---there are no more 9 to 5's
