We are our own worst critics. I wish women would feel pride about Palin's accomplishments as a woman and a mother, not jealousy. Looking over our shoulders all the time is what I find exhausting.

But I think you are right about the fact that she somehow makes us feel inadequate: even though we don't want her life, we feel we should be able to be supermoms just like she is.
