On Sarah’s mothering skills:
“Even before she was nominated, there wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.”On Sarah and Todd’s rocky marriage, as they slept in separate rooms during the Republican National Convention:
“There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house … times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty seriousPalin’s attitude post election:
“Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting,” and “a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money. She would blatantly say, ‘I want to just take this money and quit being governor.’ She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it. When she came home from work, it seemed like she was more and more stressed out.”Sarah’s response to backlash:
“She decided to retaliate, and would say things like ‘I brought everything to the table’ and ‘The majority of people were out there voting because of me!’ She definitely thought she was running for president.”The full article, Me and Mrs. Palin, will be in the October issue of Vanity Fair
