....she hasn't really got the hang of holding that baby has she?

Opinion is good, as in ‘ Don’t agree with funding RF ‘
Don’t like a dress , is an Opinion
She hasn’t got the hang of holding the baby is a judgement.

Bridgeit Fri 12-Jul-19 10:30:43

Definitely

Bridgeit Fri 12-Jul-19 10:30:28

Yes most definitel

Why not ‘let’s respect everyone has a right to an opinion’ ?

Would I get the same flack if I criticised Katie Price or Katie
Hopkins ?

Gonegirl Fri 12-Jul-19 10:10:27

Anyway, the way she's holding that baby is really sweet.

Gonegirl Fri 12-Jul-19 10:09:12

I've got an idea! Let's cut out the quarrelling.

Pushchair like this

I criticised the Sussexes' conspicuous consumerism and their inept handling of publicity over recent events.

I think an older and wiser person suggested that it might be a good idea to be seen enjoying a family event, brothers, wives, children, which is what happened.
Immediately there is an onslaught of criticism because the new mother doesn't know how to hold a baby, shouldn't walk on uneven ground, can't sit down; the Duchess of Cambridge didn't admire the baby, none of the children wore hats.
Really.hmm

Didn't have buggies when mine were little. Had a pushchair. Quite different. Probably more comfortable for the child and better for carrying shopping. Dragging it across a beach was a pain in the proverbial though.

What is it about this woman that one word of criticism brings out post after post criticising anyone who criticises her.

?ohh Callistemon

I just can't understand why Harry didn't carry Archie in a sling while he was playing polo.

After all, can't get them used to riding horses soon enough.

Gonegirl Fri 12-Jul-19 09:27:52

Oh! What would have been good - if Meghan had handed the baby to Kate to hold while she sat down, and then Kate handed him back once she was settled! That would have been a photographer's dream!!!

Sorry jaylucy, if you don't get it, you don't. x smile

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:21:57

Please don’t shout

jaylucy Fri 12-Jul-19 09:16:14

"I don't really mean it to be" so why even bother posting ?
What is it about this woman that has people jumping up and down and making up and believing every little bit of rubbish that is printed about her? Is it because she is mixed race or because she is now part of the Royal Family? Whatever, STOP, just STOP!

The cauliflowers won't weed themselves.

Unfortunately.

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:08:38

Yep! I'm off now. Can't be doing with a pointless argument.

NanaandGrampy Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:31

Never a truer word Bridgeit !!

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:28

Oh, were you there, Annie? I didn't realise.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:04

No Merlot, my husband carried the picnic , I never liked slings , I bumped the buggy across the field ?

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:04:10

Being fair, I think she walked from the car to see the family
then walked backed to the safety of the car. She didn’t join the picnic.

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:02:19

Carrying them (usually in a sling) is easier than pushing a buggy, Annie. The buggy was used for carting the picnic stuff. grin

Let’s just say it’s like being shown the last few minutes of a film, & then forming an opinion about the whole film based on the last shot.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 08:57:48

merlot I live in the country , went to the usual Point to Point, county shows,etc, always with a buggy when my daughters were babies. Wouldn’t even carry a two month old on a tow path.
