Is it me or did Bristol Palin just do a giant size "FUCK YOU" to her mom?

[LynneSin]

She gets back with the father of her child, someone who it has been clearly obvious since the day after McCain/Palin went down in flames that Sarah Palin does not like.

She announced her re-engagment to the media and NOT to her mother first.

I suspect that Bristol is tired of being a prop to her mom - forced into some sort of servitude by her mom because she had pre-marital sex.

You'd think if the relationship was good between mother & daughter, that Sarah & Todd would have announced the engagement.

1. Don't know, but I'm doing a giant sized

"DON'T CARE" to this whole family.

[CoffeeCat]

2. I think Bristol...

...and her man want their baby Trig back.

This entire family is bonkers.

Sarah did everything in her power to keep Levi and Bristol apart. If they're together,
the big secret about Trig being their baby is more likely to surface.

Crazy...I know, but that's what I think.

3. I dont' think she is doing a giant FU. She is a young woman in love

I think they probably would have already be married if her mom wasn't selected as vp.

4. All that's left now is the sex tape's release.

That'd be the ultimate kiss-off for Palin.

5. Well, Caribou Barbie will get to do a giant-sized FU right back...

...when they're divorced within two years.

6. lol -- i think levi did anyway. nt

7. Why is Levi saying he lied about Sarah.

He is saying he was not telling the truth when he said she was a bad mother.

[peace frog]

12. Simple:

Levi has his price for silence, the Palins ponied up. But that kind of information has a habit of leaking out one way or another.

8. I was assuming they all (both generations) worked this whole thing out together to stay at the

front of the news/PR screen.

9. It would be reassuring ...

just to think one member of the Wasilla Hillbillies had a modicum of good sense.

10. For the sake of their child, I hope they can work things out.

My advice (from an old woman with a long, happy marriage): Move as far away as you can from Alaska. Florida might be good -- lots of cheap housing and work to do there. Then there is Nebraska where unemployment is low and life is healthy and good for children.

STAY OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT. It is stressful and your marriage will flounder under stress.

Live a simple life. Survive on what you earn. Accept gifts from your parents only so long as no strings are attached.

Take a course in non-violent communication. Find a church in which YOU both feel comfortable. Don't choose one in order to please your parents or anyone else. Find a community and mutual support in your religious affiliation (or a community in your non-affiliation).

Be as independent as a couple as you possibly can be. Rely on each other. Trust each other. Always tell the truth to each other. Always accept the truth the other one tells you, no matter how it hurts you, no matter how it disappoints or disgusts you. Remember all wounds can be healed if you are willing to forgive not just your spouse but yourself.

Enjoy and cherish the good moments. There will be lots of bad ones, so you need to celebrate the good ones.

Distance yourself from your parents -- far, far away. That's not because of who they are, not because there is anything wrong with them. That is so you can find out who you are as a couple, so that you can build a relationship that is right for you -- not necessarily one that is right for your families.

Good luck. Marriage is tough, but 40-50 years down the road, it is the best thing in your life. That road is long and sometimes rocky.

11. The Wasilla Hillbillies do it again!

Do you think they're practicing "Abstinence?"

[peace frog]

13. Practicing abstinence like little bunnies, you betcha

Look for the baby bump under Bristol's wedding dress.
