[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she feels her life is perfect and she had the perfect childhood who are we to say otherwise? [/quote]

Objectively, her life isn’t perfect.  Dad cheated on mom. Half brother she ignores (?). Navigating being a step mom. Husband has made several public missteps.

But I agree with you - maybe it’s toxic positivity, maybe it’s her faith, or maybe she’s just a really healthy, happy individual who can deal with the imperfections of life. Either way, if she’s happy and feels her life is perfect, good for her. [/quote]

Yes, good for her! Absolutely. The goal in life is being content. But I don’t see why there’s an article in the NYT about a woman who’s content because she was born wealthy and famous and married wealthy and famous. How is that breaking news at 11? [/quote]

This. Reading it makes me think a bit about Maria Shriver and how she, of course, is also a nepo baby who got a huge leg up in life. But I actually have found her a compelling speaker in the past (I haven't thought about her for years) and she did have a fairly successful career in broadcast journalism that I think was earned to the degree that she was good at it. Obviously she got her start because of her name and connections, but she has a real presence on camera, is smart and insightful when she speaks, and also has the aesthetics of television news and commentary down (her voice is well suited for it but I would bet you anything she also worked at that). So I can imagine reading a profile of a 33-year-old Maria Shriver and thinking "huh, she's lucky in a lot of ways but still an interesting person." I wouldn't sit there thinking "why does this profile exist, why am I being asked to think or look at this person?" She had a real career in her own right and it always seemed like she had something to say that was worth at least hearing out.

That is not the impression I get from Katherine at all. She just seems empty. Nothing she says means anything. I can't think of a single quote or anecdote from this profile that would stick with me, except maybe the image of her standing in her house holding a child on one hip will eating gourmet crackers with the other. Which is not a particularly impressive takeaway for someone who is theoretically promoting a book.[/quote]

I agree and am so surprised Maria raised a sniving twat. Someone who kowtows to her crap husband.  Maybe it is not far off given what her dad did. But Maria is a smart woman how she raised this idiot I do not understand.[/quote]
