No one's knocking givng birth and raising children. We're just saying that doing so doesn't make MC any more special than the three billion other mothers on this earth.
Thank you Bubbette for your common sense here. Yes, Marie-Chantal brought 3 (soon to be 4) children into this world and without procreation where would our world be, right?
But firstly, Marie-Chantal did not do this alone. Pavlos had a small part in 'making' these 4 children and in raising them, too.
Secondly, Marie-Chantal did not do anything earth-shattering in bringing her children into this world. Every second hundreds of babies are born into this world and we don't worship each and every single of these women the way Marie-Chantal can be worshipped.
Does anyone here really believe that Marie-Chantal is as much of a hands-on mom as she
says she is? Let's face it, she's not a genius but she's no dummy either. She would never say in an interview that she hands her kids off to the nannies every day so that she can go shopping with her sisters and friends or do lunch at uptown restaurants. Nor would she pose for photo shoots without her children around her.
Most hands on moms I know rise at 5 or 6 a.m. so that they can have 5 minutes of peace with a hot shower or a cup of coffee, then they make lunches for their kids, make them breakfast, wake them up, get them dressed for school, hair and teeth brushed, drive or walk their kids to school, put in 8 hours or so at a job outside the home, pick their kids up from daycare or school, make them an afterschool snack, help them with their homework, make dinner, give them a bath, read them a bedtime story, then when the kids are in bed, they tidy the house, do some laundry before they go to bed themselves. Not to mention the groceries, trips to the drug store, the vacuuming and mopping, shopping for clothes, and a million other things moms do.
I can't imagine Marie-Chantal doing half these things. Marie-Chantal with a mop and some Pine Sol in her kitchen?
She's too busy attending fashion shows and being photographed at society parties to be reading Good Night Moon to her kids and tucking them into bed.
