[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the Queen was a new queen and young mother, we did not know as much as we do now about child development, and the formative years and bonding and attachment parenting, etc. Maybe there's a lack of closeness with George or Charlotte that she attributes to not being there as much in the early months? Who knows. I don't think we're personally affected by how much she does or doesn't work.[/quote] She was also the reigning monarch. There's an enormous difference between being the reigning monarch, and being the person married to the second person in line to be the reigning monarch. Kate has much more freedom to make these choices than Elizabeth did when he third child was born. My guess is that Kate enjoyed her time with George and Charlotte when they were young, and sees an opportunity with the world focused on Meghan to get a little more of that time. I worked full time when my kid was young because I didn't have a choice. I didn't see any lack of closeness with my kid, but I loved being with him, and if I'd had the opportunity to work less and have more time with him, while still drawing the same salary, I'd have grabbed it. [b]I don't see why it's surprising that Kate is doing the same thing.[/b][/quote] This has been explained multiple times. I doubt anyone begrudges her a couple months of parental leave. It's that she does the bare minimum (if that) when she's not on maternity leave.[/quote]
