I know two mothers of kids with Downs Syndrome. They are constantly going to doctors appointments or having to stay home with their Downs kids, who have a much tougher time staying healthy. Palin's 17 year old and infant need their mother right now, plain and simple. In particular, the infant needs its mom.
You're 100% correct. I have a niece with Down syndrome, and my sister-in-law no longer works due to it. Taking care of her is now a full-time job.
