[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly... I’m also tired of the comparisons of Kate and Meghan. Their jobs are different. One will be the queen consort one day, as she is married to the heir to the throne. The other is married to his brother, unless something awful happens, will never see the throne. Do you expect the same things from the CEO of a company, and other, lower level directors? Aside from that, I’m just going to say this: Kate’s personal wealth comes from her family. Meghan’s is from her own work[/quote] DP. I will also say that HG is rough. And having your first baby in your late 30s is rough. I wonder if either of them will [b]make any larger realizations from those experiences.[/b][/quote] Such as? A large plurality of women in this area have their first baby in their late 30s/early 40s. We go on with our lives mostly, work, family, volunteering, etc. Even without the resources of the royals. [b]HG is rough, but it is temporary and not life-altering.[/b][/quote] I don't know how bad Kate had it but I had it and am in a support group for it on Facebook and for some women it is life altering and calling it temporary is extremely dismissive of the extraordinary pain and suffering some women go through. [/quote] If it was that life altering, she would have stopped with the heir and the spare, (basically as required as wife to Wills) and not gone on to a third child. And no offence meant, but HG is a condition limited by the time frame of pregnancy. I understand it is very traumatic during that time, worrying for your own health and that of the baby. But, the reality is, it is relieved by childbirth. You don’t have to worry about it during day to day life, ever again, unless you decide to become pregnant again. The reality is, this is a pattern for Kate. She has NEVER had a real job. She worked for her parents, and then worked part time. She quit the part time gig to prepare for being a Royal, and now as a Royal, has more or less avoided full time work in her role. I get that she is a mother of three, but like anyone would say on here; this is a choice. She has a job, for which she is paid and compensated for in terms of housing, etc. She has nannies at her disposal. She has resources that many women don’t have, and is still refusing to set an example of what a woman taking care of business can be. This is where I have respect for Meghan. She had her own career and wealth already. She is clearly willing to work, even with some mis steps. She will got to Africa if that’s what is required. [/quote] As an aside.. if Kate found her HG to be so life altering, she could choose to help awareness, research, medical care, etc. towards that cause. That is her role. If she beLieves mothers should have 18 months off after birth to care for their children, she could support that cause. Or at least support women who don’t have the types of resources she has. Of course, her patronage is mostly based on sport and the like (croquet / lawn tennis / sailing / art). https://www.royal.uk/charities-and-patronages?name=&mrf=2917&field_themes_target_id=&field_world_region_value=&page=1 [/quote] I am the PP who has/had HG and is in the support group and I actually really agree that she should be doing more to bring awareness to it. And you can say it is cured by pregnancy but you can tell that to the women who's teeth have all started rotting from the repeated vomit, from the women who have permanent renal damage or the women who lost their jobs/homes because they couldn't work, to the women who's finances are destroyed by $1000 a month in ER visits for fluids for 9 months. But I know, severe HG isn't the topic of this thread and she had better medical care for it than most women get. The HG community in general is happy that the fact that she had it brought awareness but let me tell you after having been through it myself, if I had a platform like hers I would be using it to bring awareness to HG. [/quote] But see.. this is where Kate COULD be working. I never thought of the implications, because I didn’t have HG. But let’s be real: Kate is not suffering dental implications, electrolyte imbalances, job loss, or any of it, no this would be a decent cause for her to take on. 18 months or whatever it is on, she could reasonably carrying a workload.
