Explanation:
The fascination with Sarah Palin comes not only from her unexpected rise, but also from the fact that she is a mother of five, with one child under a year old. While Palin seeks the vice presidency, one of the most demanding jobs on Earth, more than 40 million American moms also balance jobs with motherhood. Do working moms have the best of both worlds, or are they potentially neglecting their children's best interests?

Families Fare Better Economically When a Parent Stays Home
lifestyle
Suzanne Venker's argument that two-income families cost more is nothing but speculation. She blames it on lifestyle, claiming that those families spend more money on laundry, eating out, etc., but that has nothing to do with it. Just because the parents are out does not mean they slack off at home. Instead, it all depends on how they handle their time before and after work. Rather than eating out, the mother or father should plan the meal ahead of time and save leftovers for later. Especially during these hard economic times when money is of great importance, many are watching how they spend and focusing on the essentials.
