Danish Royal Watchers
has an excellent rebuke to the writers of this trash
Maybe excellent for a sugar
The thing is, that I´ve nearly forgotten the topic. It was discussed on other boards (with an anti Mary spirit) at lenghts. And that based on the exact statement from the book...and also the nannies are known...
It´s indeed nothing unusual to have nannies as Royal woman...but her comment was a stupid move, as it was very open for wrong interpretation.
Yes, one can get it as "We maybe will have nannies, but the MAIN education will be done by us, the parents", but it´s much easier to get it as "no nannies...or one every now and then, if we have duties together, and if grandpop John has no time"...esp. of tabloids, who are just searching for the headline...
This book and interviews shouldn´t have been done, it didn´t her a favour.
So I´ve said, I had nearly forgotten it, but after having read Lotte´s statement, it came into my mind again and her arguments provoked me. And even though I´m thinking, that Royals can have nannies and even though I´m tending to think, that M&F + their kids are giving an impression of a solid working family, I´m feeling provoked...provoked by statements like
their children clearly have a loving bond with their parents and who can deny that frederik is enjoying and participating in the upbringing of their little ones- in photos he looks "over the moon" in love with them and very affectionate and connected
or by Lotte´s pathetic piece. And then it´s over and out! All I can then think is, gah, what can one judge by some pictures. And I´m thinking of Frederik´s working schedule and of the many pics with the nannies, we have seen from days, when both had no duties. And it annoys me.
So I´m actually trying it with an nice approach of "in dubio pro reo", but then I get confronted with these Mary-fans (and Letizia fans), who are agreeing 100% with everything M&F (or L&F) do...then I´m feeling provoked to say something against that, get attacked and then it goes on and on.
Surely...it´s maybe more me, if I´m getting provoked and I shouldn´t expect, that all are watching their favourites as I´m watching my favourite (with loads of criticism and jokes), but maybe the one or an other "sugar" should re-think her strategy, if she wants other ppl to change their minds. As I´m knowing out of PMs etc. pp. it´s not only me, who often feels provoked.
But quite honestly I´m very often assuming, that sugars don´t wanna the others to change their minds.
It seems, as if your primary goal wouldn´t be, that M&F are surrounded by ppl, who are cheering them.
It rather seems, that you are enjoying the feeling of "being right", of being the
better Royal watchers, who are supporting the
better princess. The same it seems to be for the other side, who isn´t supporting Mary or Letizia
(in fact it´s always about these two women)
They
(I don´t wanna say "me" now as I´m changing my views quite often actually) seem to think "gah, she is a golddigger and attention seeker. Such ppl shouldn´t be supported! I´m right and the sugar party is wrong"
There is a lot of strenght growing out of a feeling of being right. How often can we have that in our jobs or in our schools?
Since we are all not close to Mary and Letizia, the one or an other party can´t be proven wrong.
And it´s a lot of entertainment. Much better than all this 3 words-gushing posts or 10 ppl in a row agreeing, that Mary has no style.
So maybe we should sit down for a moment, and should thank the other party, for being a rival and offering a racket, one can throw the ball at
If my theory is nonsense and if your strongest wish is to change the mind of the anti-Marys for Mary´s and Frederik´s sake
(for the case they or journalists read here...or whatever) , I can only recommend to try it with a more neutral view on Mary and not to attack those, who are against her. Those are nice and good ppl as well. If they wanna change their mind, they are doing it, when/if the time is ready for it and not through harsh arguments. Keep the "!!!" and capital letters out of your posts.
Greetings to
all wonderful women (and men
) here, who are greater than Mary and Letizia together
, Lena (who wouldn´t mind having a nanny in the future and who got a bit OT...and at the same time not...as this, what I had described is the base of nearly
every discussion here in the M&F sub-forum)
