Controlling your 17 year is like Controlling the Country?

By
Real Estate Agent with AVALAR Pro Realty

In recent news we have all learned about Palin's 17 year old daughter being 5 months pregnant. Now being a mother of a teenager I understand that kids are going to do whatever they want regardless of what we as parents tell them. However, there is a level of control that every parent should have with their kids.... Teen sex is not anything new but were was here mom to discuss protection from not just having a baby but also STD's? If a person can't control her personal home what makes us as AMERICANS think she can control the country.

I have responded to you in another blog regarding the perception of appropriate use of localism for political comments. We will definitely not be associating. Judgemental, self righteous people always turn me off. I am sure you have a huge following however.

You said it yourself-kids are going to do whatever they want regardless of what we as parents tell them.  You can preach to these kids till you are blue in the face...but they choose to listen or not. Who's to say the daughter didn't use protection...it just didn't work.  I will not judge her mother, as there is only one person who sits high enough to judge us...and it is not you or me.  Would you be saying this of any mother? What of the young girls who are raped? Are you going to blame their mothers? I don't think we should jump to conclusions...we don't know  all the facts.
