Where's Bristol?

[interested-n-disgust]

Ok, I'm stirring the pot. Maybe there's no Bristol around because Trig really is hers and she's not pregnant? By now if she is pregnant she should bigger and maybe she's not?

My aunt saw her shopping at Walmart about three weeks ago in Wasilla. She was alone.

In your eyes, she is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. Having her family join her on the campaign is illustrating her pro-life stance. Leaving a pregnant daughter home is "secreting her away".

I agree with you on this point. There is not a winning answer here. I also know there is no possible way I could have kept up with Palin's travel schedule when I was pregnant. I was so exhausted, achey and sick throughout.

I could have sworn that she was 17? Not quite yet an "adult". Did she have a birthday?

According to the info I found online Bristol turned 18 on Oct. 18th.

Her birthdate was listed as 10/18/1990.

seeing as how she's about 6 months pregnant, travelling all over the country day after day is not really in the best interest of Bristol from a health perspective.

She's got alot on her plate aside from the campaign, from a wedding to plan, baby preparations, etc. I don't think she should be expected to be everywhere her mother is, and with all the hatred that was thrown her way, I don't blame her if she just wants to stay out of the limelight. She's under enough stress physically, without having to deal with anything more.

I kinda get the feeling some of the people demanding to know why she's not following her mother around have no idea what it feels like to be 6 months pregnant....the LAST thing I want to do is be on my feet all day, travelling, not being able to sleep in my own bed, etc.

Let the girl have some peace already, sheesh!

The wisest post on the thread so far.

Pregnancy not real?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I'm stirring the pot. Maybe there's no Bristol around because Trig really is hers and she's not pregnant? By now if she is pregnant she should bigger and maybe she's not?

That's a great first post. Keep up the deep thoughts.

I already stated several times that I respect and support Bristol's choices if they are hers and hers alone. She is an adult and she has that right.

But, the party has made it a point to stand on a platform of acceptance because everybody makes mistakes (one I support) and abstinence only education in the schools.

So, if they are forcing Bristol to stay away because she might offend the conservative base, then that gets into politics.

Well, I guess I am curious as to why you are assuming that the party is keeping her out of sight. That seems to be the recurring theme throughout each of your posts...

Truth be told, we have no idea why Bristol isn't with her mother more.

Maybe she doesn't feel well.

Maybe she is having an issue that none of us know about with her pregnancy which precludes her from too much travelling.

Maybe she just feels like staying home so she doesn't have to listen to crude ignorant jokes, like some of the ones that have been posted on this thread.

Maybe she doesn't agree with her mother running for VP.

Maybe the party doesn't want her to be seen, although she was pretty obviously pregnant at the RNC and they didn't seem to have a problem with her being on the stage there.

I do think it's kind of interesting that your immediate assumption is to jump to the negative connotation that "the party" is "hiding" her.

FWIW, I don't really care about her pregnancy...it's her & her BF's problem, not mine. I also didn't care about Dick Cheney's gay daughter, or George Bush's daughter's "wild" years, or Al Gore's son's arrest for drugs, or Chelsea Clinton's early awkward years when her father was first elected.

None of the kids are running the country, and I have been around enough people with kids to know that no matter how good of a parent you try to be, kids are sometimes going to do things that are against the beliefs and values that you, as a parent, tried to instill in them.

It's called "life".

Discussing these types of things is the height of stupidity when the discussion should be about issues.

We deserve the President we get.

Poor Palin, she can't win, people have enjoyed ripping her a new one since day 1! She's d***** if she does and d***** if she doesn't ! Truthfully, I feel sorry for her now, must be so discouraging to crawl out of bed every morning wondering how low people have stooped and what they've drummed up against you and your family today . I only hope I could be remain so positive and forge ahead as the example she sets, if ever faced with such adversity.

Please.

I am the OP of this ancient thread.

Trig is not Bristol's. To perpetuate that lie and rumor says more about you than Palin. As the OP, I kindly ask you to not take it off topic with lies and innuendo.

For everything that I hate about Palin as a VP candidate and her politics, she is an excellent mother and I don't think she is lying about her kids. It is one of the few things I admire about the woman, that she is so family oriented that she does keep her kids with her. What an experience in seeing the country and how politics work! Hopefully, they are being sheltered from the negatives about their mom.

Bristol is due in December. At this time in her pregnancy, you wouldn't expect to see her running around the country.

As I should have, please leave her out of the politics.

Why do we care where Bristol is? She's not the one running for office.

I hope she's taking good care of herself, the last thing she needs is more stress in her life.

Sarah Palin Tells PEOPLE About Her Wedding Wishes for Bristol
PEOPLE
(Oct. 23) - Sarah Palin forgets the stump speech in an interview with PEOPLE that hits newsstands this week. Palin and her husband Todd talk about life at home and on the campaign trail.
The topic turns to the love life of her pregnant daughter Bristol, who expects a baby with her fiancé Levi Johnston in December. Is a wedding still planned for next spring? "Hopefully before that," says Palin. "Bristol turns 18 in a few days. That's what we wanted her to wait for: 18, and a decision on her own about how she's going to go forward, her and Levi, at this point."


What types of things do you argue or bicker about back home?
SP: We don't have a whole lot of time to argue and bicker. It's a team effort how we get from point A to point B every day with everything that needs to get done. TP: The normal challenges, it's the kids' schedules, where they go and who's coming over.
What have you heard from your son overseas? [Track, 19, is deployed with the Army in Iraq.]
SP: He's doing well. Not a complaint. I visited the troops over there, and I was so pleased and appreciative of our troops, my son included, where you don't hear them complain. You don't hear them complain about the heat or the dozens of pounds of equipment that they're carrying, none of the conditions that we would consider adverse and burdensome. I've never heard any of our soldiers complain and my son has been the same way in discussions with him.
You're not the first parents to cope with a teenage pregnancy. How did you get that news and what was your reaction?
SP: Just a very quick acknowledgement that Bristol and her fiancé will have to grow up a lot quicker. But she is quite mature, very kind-hearted and a very strong young woman. She's also kind of an old soul who's beyond any desire to be out there partying. It will all be good. We look forward to another life coming into our family.
Has this changed how you talk about sex with your other children?
SP: I've always been a proponent of making sure kids understand – even in schools – they'd better take preventative measures so that they don't find themselves in these less than ideal circumstances. Perhaps Bristol could be a good example to other young women that life happens and preventative measures are, first and foremost, the option that should be considered –

My aunt said she was very big and very pregnant. I think the Trig/baby rumors are malicious and ugly.

(I can't believe I am posting on a political thread--how low I have sunk )


Isn't she a senior in High School? My guess would be that she WANTS to be in school with her friends and in her hometown with her boyfriend/fiancee. I am thinking that she wants to make sure that she graduates with her class and she needs to be in school as much as she can for that to happen.

And even if she is able to travel in her stage of pregnancy, it can be very tiring and draining, and we have no idea if she is having nausea still (I had it all 9 months with both). She may just not feel up to it. I know when I was pregnant, getting dressed up and standing around in all sorts of weather for days and weeks on end would have just been way to much. She is 18--hanging out with the family in the spotlight is the last place a girl her age wants to be.

I completely agree with your post!

 

[disney1990]

Who cares where she is. Where are Obama's kids? OMG, where, where where?!

In school where they should be.

Personally, I don't care where Bristol is. But, maybe she's not feeling well and is just taking it easy.
