Criticism Aimed at Meghan Markle Over Portrayal of Common Motherhood Tasks as Challenging as Mount Everest Ascent
Meghan Markle's school run with a nanny got some flak, being compared to climbing Everest and curing cancer. Critics jest that she makes the regular parenting duties sound as if they were extraordinary feats. Matters got heated when some derided those who were harsh on Meghan, arguing that everyone should leave her alone. However, it also provided some levity to working parents trodding the same challenges, akin to Meghan, juggling work, family, and school drop-offs.
One working mom candidly admitted that it's the routine of all mothers. Another questioned how long Meghan's routine takes, joking that she gets her children's lunchboxes ready the night before, takes thirty minutes to prepare them for school, and only requires five minutes for the drive. A third underscored that Meghan seems unaware that this is a standard routine for most working women.
Meghan started her day at 6.30 am, caring for her kids while listening to them on monitors, getting them dressed, making breakfast, and preparing their lunchboxes. On days when she doesn't have early meetings, she attempts school drop-offs. However, since her children attend two different schools, this circuit keeps her away from home until 9 am.
Meghan shared her everyday life with Jamie Kern Lima on her podcast, detailing her struggles with balancing parenthood and work. She acknowledges that the obligation of being a mother and multiple roles she plays can be overwhelming. Yet, she emphasizes her love for being a mother above everything else. If her children wake up needing her, she is right there, despite her busy schedule.
This fresh insight comes just a fortnight after the second episode of Meghan's new podcast Confessions Of A Female Founder was released, where Meghan candidly discussed juggling it all and dealing with sick children at home. Speaking about her hectic lifestyle, she admitted, "My kids, for example, right now, one has RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) - a common cause of coughs and colds - and the other influenza A - a form of flu."
Despite the backlash, Meghan remains steadfast, enjoying this new 'honeymoon' phase with Prince Harry after getting a bit of breathing room following their exit from royal duties. She fondly recalls how she and Harry quickly faced challenges, entering the trenches together, and is grateful for the space they have now. The couple faces constant scrutiny, but Meghan revels in their renewed bond.
