In a revealing interview for the upcoming Jan. 25 issue of In Touch Weekly, former GOP presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol open up about the experience of raising their toddler sons together.
Bristol gave birth to her son Tripp in December 2008. Since splititng from the boy’s father, Playgirl beefcake Levi Johnston, Bristol has taken up her mother’s abstinence only campaign.
“I’m not going to have sex until I’m married…I can guarantee it,” the teen mom says.
“Tripp is the love of my life — I couldn’t ask for a better baby, but the reality is I’m 19 years old and I have a 1-year-old. I wish I could be in my 30s with a baby, and not be 20. Just having him so young — I have to work, and I have to provide, because I’m a single mom.”
Bristol did not discuss her on-going custody battle with Johnston.
Sarah made her debut as a commentator for the FOX News Channel on last night’s O’Reilly Factor. She tells In Touch that raising her special needs son Trig, who has Down syndrome, has made her a more patient mother.
“He’s made me more patient and compassionate, and more focused on priorities that really matter.”
The Palin on In Touch hits newsstands this Friday.
