Was Jackie Kennedy a good mother?

Agree. Was ANYONE from that era a “good” mother, as defined today? Most certainly not.

I don't think it was great she put her children on display for the funeral parade. And the little salute was just a cruel thing to put a child up to. That said, she was their only mother and seemed devoted/controlling

Case in point, when they were remodeling the children’s bedrooms in the White House both Caroline ➕ John John were staying w/relatives……Jackie had suggested that the children not come home until their bedrooms were completely finished which was still another few wks away.

A good Mother would have missed her kids & would have wanted them home no matter what.

Plus after Jackie gave birth to John via C-section, after she arrived home she had hired Nannies + nursemaids care for him so she could sleep a lot in order to recover……

Standard rich person behavior of that generation.

JFK Jr. was the definition of reckless. He and his wife and her sister died because he was so entitled and reckless.

The Kennedy men are like that. Reckless, athletic womanizers.

Do you mean feckless not reckless? Maybe some of both

Yes, Jackie couldn't eradicate that Kennedy part. What could she have done?

Jackie smoked heavily while pregnant and throughout her whole life but that was also more accepted back then.

He was super reckless. Also, some of his cousins were not reckless and lived pretty boring lives--people forget how many Kennedy cousins there were.

They all cheated a lot. Her parents, JFK, Jackie, JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette, etc.

Shows what you know bout the Kennedy’s.

John John has talked about the salute. He says he really didn’t know it was his dad’s coffin. The was just always taught to salute the flag.

I think it’s wonderful his father taught him to respect our flag. You’re the one who needs help.

I suspect I am much older than you and was alive during Kennedy’s presidency. You can keep on watching Kim.
