that's what i said. had their mother not been in politics, they wouldn't be in the limelight, and being used as weapons against their mother- both by the left, and by comedians. they also wouldn't be used as pawns by their mother for that matter. they could be normal kids-some of who do end up pregnant. you think it's in her kids best interest to have her gone for days, weeks at a time, with kids ranging in age from 17 to infancy? that's good for a child? a juvenile, a teen?
i also said "and yes, sometimes kids still run into trouble regardless of a parents' best efforts"
but i do stand by what i said, that her and most kids would do far better if their parents gave them more of their attention, instead of the kids playing second fiddle to a career.

women are holding more and more higher positions in the workforce today (corporate and public) - to that extent family life is going to be different that what it was when you were a kid.
people are having to work in some cases 60+ hrs a week each just to afford a moderate lifesytle for their families today - and it takes 2 incomes just to make ends meet in certain parts of the country .... the days of the stay a the home mother are over except for the really really rich in this country
