I feel sorry for Trig. He really needs someone (mom or dad) to be fully involved and nurturing him, not just passing him around like a prop.

It would of course be cool if Todd Palin were a truly involved and caring SAHD. But hopefully he won't be the first dude of the USA. His wife's views and lack of knowledge are too scary.

He's not a stay at home dad and has stated he has no interest in being one.

Please, please do not turn Sarah into a pop star and media darling. A blog that churns out so many thoughtful articles on progressive, responsible parenting is no place for a covert puff piece on the Palin family. NO ONE is taking care of these kids. It is politics first, snowmobiles second. The welfare of the kids is way at the bottom of the list. I have a baby that is a few days older than Trig. I can barely comb my hair and take care of her and my older son. And it's not because I'm not cool enough to finish a snowmobile race with a broken arm, it's because parenting is HARD. And good parenting is even HARDER. The fact that the Palins are so focused on career and hobbies doesn't mean they are going to be better parents under the spotlight. It means that they are focused on career and hobbies. Period.

Actually he does not stay at home with the kids. He works and races. The kids are in day care. I predict he will not move to the lower 48 but mainatain their home in AK where his business is. This guy does not bake cookies and help with homework.
