I know all you mothers-in-law out there are wondering how is Levi Johnston going to make amends with a future mother-in-law he has publicly trashed and challenged. In esteemed Vanity Fair no less! Not to mention that up until this point he has shown himself to be irresponsible and unmotivated. (Oh wait, he did do that spread in Playgirl).
And now, at least according to US Weekly, he and Bristol have reconnected, are back in love, and are planning to wed. People Magazine, on the other hand, just has them getting along – no marriage plans and no engagement. Regardless of whether there is a wedding in their future, or just a renewed friendship, they DO share custody of a baby. And all of this means Levi and Sarah Palin may likely run into each other at the next family get-together. Boy, would I like to be a fly on the coleslaw at that Labor Day picnic.
So far we’ve heard from Levi who has apologized to his once (and again) future mother-in-law in a July 6 statement that read something like this, “Please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion. I hope one day to restore your trust.”
Hmmm. What do you think? Will this happen? We still haven’t heard from the mother-in-law to be. When we do, will she be magnanimous, and forgiving or will she be unmoved by his emotional appeal? Remember, this is politics. OF COURSE, she’ll forgive him.
This on-again, off-again relationship, which has as much drama as a Lifetime yarn, will be spun into a “life lesson” of See what happens when you have unprotected sex, and It isn’t so easy living on your own and supporting a child. Is it?! (Apparently, the young couple will have to forge their way like most other young couples because, again according to People, Mom isn’t sharing the $10 million she earned from FOX and her book.)
So then maybe we can actually relate. I wonder if your son or daughter’s significant other treated them poorly and then maligned you, would you forgive him or her? Politics aside.
