In the October issue of Vanity Fair, Levi Johnston tells all, or at least some, of what went on in the Palin household prior to and after the election.
Here are some excerpts:
What? There "wasn't much parenting" in the Palin household?...who would have thought? I mean, doesn't every home have teenagers running rampant, using drugs, and having unprotected sex resulting in an underage pregnancy? Quite the parenting role models Sarah and Todd are.
Sarah wanted to keep Bristol's pregnancy secret?..Tell us something we didn't know Levi. You and Bristol made the right decision in not allowing Sarah and Todd to adopt your baby...obviously, parenting skills are something the Palins are not very adept at. Furthering their own careers at other people's expense...now that's a different story.
Lets go on to after Palin's crushing defeat:
You mean to say Palin quit on the people of Alaska in order to make money? Well, this has always been one of the prevailing theories...Sarah is a typical Republican, so the greed is no surprise, but now she's looked upon as a quitter. That, and her seeming lack of intelligence, make her, in the minds of most Americans, unfit for public office.

Here are some excerpts:
The Palin house was much different from what many people expect of a normal family, even before she was nominated for vice president. There wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.

Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret—nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging—she wouldn’t give up. She would say, “So, are you gonna let me adopt him?” We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.

Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting. I had assumed she was going to go back to her job as governor, but a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make “triple the money.” It was, to her, “not as hard.” She would blatantly say, “I want to just take this money and quit being governor.” She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it. When she came home from work, it seemed like she was more and more stressed out.
