pomtzu - and then Sarah, if she is VP, will do what other White House couples do - schedule time for them and their kids, and hire staff to do the rest.

Which I think they do already.

I don't see why Sarah is being singled out - former First Ladies don't have much time to be a hausfrau either. White House couples, period, aren't full time parents. They can't be. At least they don't have "latchkey kids".

Too many working couples these days do have the latchkey kids, or are spending tons of money on daycare. (SOME couples have looked at their finances and found it is actually cheaper for one parent to stay home!)

The reason I reponded to Dan the way I did was that he seemed to put the burden of this on the female, ergo:
I cannot see a woman who has such a child wanting to do anything else. There is something wrong with a woman who would.
And nothing wrong with a man who would?

That's my point.
