Why would a woman who gave birth to a special needs child decide to start spending more energy on her career?
Help me understand this, because I just don't. I've helped raise a special needs child, and I don't get what would cause someone who just gave birth to one to go "Oh, I think it's time to make a big leap in my career!" I'm sure there has to be some rational explanation. Do any of you have one?

I have no clue, children are hard enough, add to that special needs and a "budding" career and you have a neglected child. I know that she has a father and a supportive family but come on, we all know how we feel. I know what that cry means, and when poopie time is.
Maybe that's it, she isn't as involved in her child's life to begin with... She was already entrenched in her career when she had the child. She is a little old to be still having babies, so maybe this was an whoopsie baby and she right away got a nanny or nurse for him. She also has some older children so maybe they have taken on a mothering role. That could explain the teen pregnancy, she might be thinking that she is already "Mommy" so what would be the difference to have one of her own...
Just conjecture, no one really knows, even the mom herself
i'm assuming you're taking about palin, and maybe its cause she cares more about her career, than her family.
EDIT: i also agree with brianna, alot of pressure has been put on here because of that (taking care of a special needs child while being vice president), but she should consider her childs needs, i mean even on her first speech her son getting shipped of to the war didn't seem so pleased.
