why do people care if Kate Middleton wants to be a SAHM?

[Anonymous]

Kate has literally her entire life to come up with charity work but her kids are only little once. I'd do the same thing in a heartbeat.

You should do an AMA so we can understand more about your obsessive personality. You are exaggerating on so many levels, and you “seem” to know a lot. I also think you have some kind of personal stake in seeing the monarchy fall. You seem almost gleeful as you write it.

K&w will have many years ahead to increase their work. Maybe, also, they don’t agree with the queen’s exact approach. Maybe, one or both has developed tremendous anxiety. Maybe they have regular terror threats against them and their tiny children. It could be anything..the point is you don’t know.

Back off and see how they do in five years.

NP. I have posted on this thread. I made the post about how I think some posters here are taking this discussion oddly personally. I have literally never posted anything about Kate Middleton ever on DCUM before this thread and I have posted on DCUM for years.

I find this discussion interesting because I used to live in the UK and the difference in how people in the UK perceive the monarchy now versus 20 years ago when I lived there is palpable. Some other poster on this thread said that he or she isn't sure that Prince George will ever take the throne, and now I think that is actually possible, which is shocking to me. It is surprising to me how fast public sentiment has changed in the UK, and I think a lot of that is due to the behavior of the younger royals, including Kate.

Your post certainly hasn't changed my opinion that people are being weirdly defensive on this thread. Trying to dismiss a variety of posters as one likely imaginary poster with a supposed vendetta against Kate Middleton is a prime example of bizarre defensiveness.

But I don’t think the opposition to the monarchy is because Kate doesn’t “work” enough. It’s because of the rise of social media and everyone being able to see so plainly how ridiculous it is that these people are living an opulent life funded by taxpayers for no reason other than the family they were born or married into. It’s an outdated system and time to let it go.

I am PP and I agree with what you wrote, but I think the anti-monarchist sentiment would be somewhat mitigated if there was a perception that Kate and Will in particular were doing something -- anything -- to help their country that sponsors their lavish lifestyle rather than just taking advantage. It wouldn't fix everything but it would help. I think this is true of Will as well as Kate.

But what is it she can even do? Attend events and smile? How does any of this help their country? It doesn’t which is why people realize more and more that it’s a joke.

She could do a lot, I think. Start a foundation, go visit underprivileged schools to highlight the importance of education. Visit mental health facilities and have open conversation about mental health. Go once a week to a soup kitchen to encourage others.to do the same. She could have a huge impact with a small amount of effort.

All of this is inconsequential. Poor people will be poor as long as they don’t value education and have children they can’t afford. KM visiting a school won’t do shit.

Look at how Angelina Jolie has transformed her image through charity work. Kate and Will could easily change the public’s perception.

William himself has said that he was a crap student who didn’t really value education.

I don’t disagree with this but marrying into the royal family as a working royal is accepting a job. SAHMs don’t hold jobs and just not go to work.

She is typical of a lot of upper class Millennials.

She took a gamble, and she won.

If you're the young woman reproducing the heirs to the throne, why do anything else? She probably feels that she's getting the rewards in life from just being a starfish and breeding. That is a job in and of itself.

I find these threads entertaining so I read them. The above is hilarious. I live and work in DC. I work with a lot of wonderful, exceptionally smart, and successful women BUT I am also friends, with and live around, a lot of women who either worked only briefly and then married well and know others who waited for their man a long time as well. It’s NORMAL! I k ow nothing about Kate but she seems quite lovely to me in that she appears warm to others when in public, seems to genuinely love her husband and now children.

She met a guy in college, fell in love, and is now a wife and Mom. Why does it have to be more than that. And, ok, if what other posters say she went after him - so what. Clearly would not have been successful if he did not feel the same. If I remember from dating, everyone finds someone they are interested in and tries to get their attention, strike up a meeting, hope they date. That’s how it works.

I wish only happiness for all of them. Beautiful young family.

Exactly. Kate and Will could do a lot. They could put off the perception that they are essentially grifting off of a British public that is worried about their own future. But they don't.

Ye, we know, Anti-Princess Kate troll.

In your mind, YOU should have been the one Will married, so you are insanely jealous and obsessed with hating on the princess.

Your only respite is to post hate threads about her on dcum.

Instead she got married 7 years ago and has spent 6 of those 7 either pregnant or on six-month maternity leaves which amounts to the same thing.

We were optimistic when she got married and gave her a year to get 'settled' into her position and to figure out how to be a good Royal, but now its just about 10 years running and she barely has any worthwhile Patronages to speak of, does no appearances, rarely leaves London etc etc.

I've given up on Kate but I also no longer think its my concern. The BRF will deal with it when/if they see any negative public opinion affecting them.

Seriously? You (OP?) are a complete ninny. Why does it bother you that KM is a good mother who enjoys spending time with and caring for her kids? It just eats you up, doesn't it?

Plus she's beautiful and thin after three kids. She's perfect in every way. Glamourous, and Will obviously dotes on her. Diana would have loved her.
