How do I explain to my kids about Bristol Palin being unmarried and 5 months pregnant at age 17?

Question

I already used "immaculate conception" when explaining how the current Vice President's daughter could be pregnant with her L*****n lover. If I use that one again, won't my kids get suspicious?

Answer 1

Poor you.

What did you tell them about JamieLynn Spears?  

Sheesh.  

Answer 2

You tell them she got pregnant the same way you did (unless your the father and then you tell them the same way their mother did). Pretty simple, straightforward and honest. Perhaps you could use this as a lesson to show that while you may have waited for kids, it could have happened to you at an earlier age had something "happened" unless you waited until later in life to partake in "the act". Unfortunately it appears that you are unwilling to take the approach that mistakes are made and things happen and are too willing to point the finger at others. Must be nice to be so perfect.

Answer 3

Try telling them the truth.  Novel concept but they need real information, not bizarre fairy tales.

Answer 4

Tell your kids to mind their own kiddy business !!!!!

Answer 5

Use the situation as an example of hypocrisy.

Answer 6

And what did you tell your kids about Jamie Spears getting knocked up at 15? You are spreading vicious lies,is that what you teach your kids? And just how could another woman get her pregnant? Man are you ignorant.A real brainiac.

Answer 7

Why is it so important for your kids to learn about another families business? It is none of your business anyway and will not affect you at all.

And wake up to the world. There are tons of women out there having babies out of marriage.  

Answer 8

You tell them the Truth and tell them Kids dont belong in Politics.

Answer 9

Just change the subject and offer them a cookie.

Answer 10

Tell her that the next step would be going on the strippers pole with a garter full of Benjamins.

Answer 11

you tell em that her mother put a gun to her back and told her to go out and get knocked up...cause that's what the media wants you to do.

Answer 12

Explain them the same way you explained what Monica Lewinsky was doing under Bill Clinton's desk!

Answer 13

Never lie to your own children. You will loose their trust.

Point out that Bristol's actions have embarrassed her family and such actions should be avoided. She was taught better, and her problem is the result of not following the advice given by her parents.  

Answer 14

Tell them that god will punish them with a retarded kid if the have s*x or become a republican.

Answer 15

Get some info. about Chelsea Clinton or the life of Barack Obama keep them focused on the positive. It is a choice. Do you want to watch Oprah or Jerry Springer just keep your eye on what you want not on what you don't want. Peace.

Answer 16

Not at all, just explain to them that Republican women, being right with God, are blessed with miracles all the time!

Unlike those filthy liberal...s***s (pardon my language), conservative women go to church and never sin against God.

Have a blessed day!

Answer 17

It is amazing that the feminine movement and you ultra-liberals who are for an open society and free love can be so against this woman and her daughter. It shows the depth of stupidity within the democratic ranks and why the party is now the "know nothing party"

Answer 18

tell them she swallowed a watermellon seed and she has a watermellon growing in her tummy.

Answer 19

Unless you have kept your kids under a rock I am pretty sure they are familiar with other unmarried mothers, this is not 1600 Salem!

Answer 20

It may be tough, but please dont tell her about how a man running for President used to hang out with a known terrorist and a racist pastor for over 20 years, keep mum about that, not good for her to know.

Keep it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay under your hat.

Answer 21

well since you already lied to them... keep lieing.

you probably don't even have children... it is not a far reach to think your lieing to us

how do your children know about lesiban's but are so stupid that they believe in random immaculante conception ??

your obiviously a loser & an Obama supporter.... I'm reporting this question.

Answer 22

Vote Democrat, so Sarah and the rest of  JERRY SPRINGER's guests can disappear. lol.

Answer 23

First get real.  Then face up to your parental responsibilities.  Become aware that there is a real world out there.   How dumb do you think your kids are. I hope they're smarter than you.

Answer 24

Why would you even tell you kids that. You flat out lied to them. You need to tell them the truth. They will figure it out eventually anyway. The best thing you can do for your kids is encurage them to wait till they are married to have s*x and to have children and explain that not everyone does that and it makes their lives much harder. I got preganant without being married and my sons father and I plan to get married. Getting pregnant doesnt mean we are bad people and Bristol Palin is planning to marry the father of her child. I donnt know how old your kids are but eventually they are going to have to confront the real world and lying to them isnt going to help them do that.

My ex had the same upbring in an extrememly religious home. Dont get me wrong I love God and Jesus and accepted him and everything but I saw that his parents telling him all this worng information totally screwed him up in the end, he ended up drinking, smoking pot, having s*x and being a stalker because he didnt know how to deal with the real world around them. Im sure you have the best of intentions but lying to your chidlren is detrimental to them.

Answer 25

Something about a stork maybe?

Answer 26

Sit them down and say this.

You see she is a very young girl but made a mistake.  However the parents had no control over her being pregnant since they cant watch there kids 24/7.  However, there is a bright side.  She has elected to keep and raise the child like a mother should.  Best of all, she isnt a democrat so our tax dollars wont be going to support her and her child because she wont file for welfare.  YAY!

Answer 27

I know it goes against the grain of a liberal but how about trying the truth.

Answer 28

To everyone to stop these insane questions on here We all need to stop answering their STUPID hateful nasty questions. This has got to stop. Its really that simple just do not answer questions you know that are hateful and STUPID. If you agree pass it along. This site is turning into the daily kos

Answer 29

Honestly, I would be truthful to them.

The more you address these issues and explain them, allows your children to understand the goings-on and this is not somebody you want your kids imitating.

I know from family experiences that having a baby before marriage and pregnant at 17 may cause emotional problems among family members.

Be warned, don't put off any longer before explaining it.

Saying that she could be pregnant with he 'L*****n lover' will just confuse them later on.

Hopefully this helps!

Answer 30

Well, isn;t the democrat party the one pushing for g*y marraige????

How will you explain that to your daughter?

You should also explain to your daughter that Obama's mother was unmarried and pregnant with him at 17 also.

Answer 31

Tell her that is a family issue and and that teenage moms should be lauded, as long as they are not coloured.
