To be sure, becoming a parent for many is not too difficult. Our bodies are designed to procreate and humans more often then not do exactly that. Once birth happens we suddenly call ourselves PARENTS. But JUST because we are identified as parents does not mean that each and everyone of us knows exactly how to PARENT. What might be a natural reaction in our bodies to bring another life into the Earth, how our brains, soul and gut behave is entirely a completely different function of NATURE; identifying itself as NURTURE. Various cultures decide on the rules and regulations of what responsibilities we should and might have, but most often the COMMON denominator of quality parenting throughout the world is the protection of the child providing unconditional love and the ability to place their lives as a priority above your own life.
It is always an awkward moment to infer, suggest, or even criticize to friend or family that the process by which they are raising their child is NOT correct. After all what is correct. But every now and then we observe habits, traits and patterns in which some PARENTS are too cavalier, too detached, too selfish all resulting in either a lack of interest in the welfare of their children or a complete abandonment of PARENTAL responsibilities, and something must be said; for the protection of a healthy child. Sometimes the WRONG way of being a PARENT is so obvious it begs the bystander to no longer stand on the sidelines.
Sarah Palin has made it her business to protest how same-sex couples should NOT be permitted to either adopt kids or indeed have their own children. Sarah Palin has scolded single parent families suggesting that it takes a MOM and a DAD to raise the kids correctly. Sarah Palin has made it her business to become the moral police and the values monitor for PARENTING. Sarah Palin says it is her responsibility to do so because she is only following the directions Jesus somehow provides her when he visits. Sarah Palin’s PARENTING might have been her own business, but once you open yourself up as spokesperson for FAMILY values for everyone else then even if you are a Grizzly Mom you become fair game. The thing about Sarah Palin is some people were NEVER designed to be a PARENT. Sarah Palin preaches to her daughter that abstinence only, never providing her daughter with options and education of choice. Sarah Palin has a son suffering from PTSD yet has assault weapons lying around the house, and easy access to alcohol. There are some simple remedies to assist Sarah Palin with her PARENTING skills, but its seem she is too simple witted of a person to realize that. PARENTING is hard.
