Times article asking is 2024 the year of the bores. They have many categories, including swiftly bores but Meghan has a category all to herself:

As a mother’ bores

The Duchess of Sussex, queen of the “as a mother” bores, was on peak AAM form at a recent children’s hospital fundraiser in Los Angeles, demonstrating exactly how it’s done in 2024. “From my standpoint as a mother,” Meghan said, establishing her unique perspective straight off the bat, “no one wants to be in a position where you need to go to a place like this.” (Amen. Not great for the children, but let’s focus on the mothers.) “But if you have to, the best place in the world you could go would be Children’s Hospital LA.” Hmm. See what she did there: made a celebration of the hospital staff’s work quite a lot about herself AAM.
And Meghan is merely the icing mother figure on the top of the cake of modern life. Lately, this habit of identifying yourself AAM is rife and licence to bore anyone whenever you choose on any subject, because “AAM” is a shutout. “AAM, I really relish my alone time.” “AAM, I really want to see peace in the Middle East.” “AAM, I think growing your own vegetables is important.” “AAM, I see and feel more clearly.” Sentences beginning “as a woman” have the potential for boring, but with AAM there’s no way around it. Prepare to be off-the-scale bored.

Most likely to say “For me, there is nothing more rewarding [hand on heart] than seeing my little ones eat my homemade pesto.”

Least likely to say “Let’s not talk about the kids.”

Why waste your time writing such a nonsense thread on people you don't know, based on articles that are written to make money?!
Why am I replying to this nonsense?? 😆 Leaving now...

May I be the first to proffer the traditional salutation "don't let the door bang you on the arse on the way out"?

It's in the article "as a mother". It's taking the piss out of people who say that before giving their opinion.

Whenever anyone says "as a mother..." I'm always reminded of Andrea Leadsom's "but I have children" comment when running against Theresa May for Tory leader.

I thought Andrea Leadsom was a right arsehole for doing that. So did a lot of people. And it did her no good whatsoever.

Reddog1 · 26/10/2024 16:19

What a silly, spiteful article from the Times.

But yeah I agree that Leadsom was out of order.

This is the second time this week I've read an article that seems dedicated to writing mean spirited things about MM.

The writers appear to lack self awareness, apparently Meghan is the bully yet she's the one who everyone seems to enjoy attacking for her perceived flaws

Only the second? There are many more.

Jeeus, what a nasty, hateful post. Who has the headspace for this nonsense?

Sadly, the regulars on the Meghan haters threads. Wouldn't want to meet them in real life.

Pedestriancrossing · 26/10/2024 17:30

This is such a depressing thread. Proper mean girl vibes, spiteful, bitchy and just yuk.
Before a witty riposte comes in, I'm aware of Flouncers Corner and have no intention of heading there just yet, so the door won't hit be hitting my arse on the way out, sorry.

You are the only one calling people:

  • spiteful
  • bitchy
  • yuk
  • mean girls

No one else has used these vulgarities. No one has used these terms against Meghan. Yet, you somehow seem to think you occupy the moral high ground. Think you need to take time to reflect on your rhetoric before MN HQ does.

You’ve managed to use term spiteful a further two times.

Where on earth are you finding all these ‘spiteful’ posts?

Spiteful is just an adjective that accurately describes the tone and content of some of the earlier posts on here.
It isn't a swear word, and even if it was, it still fits.
FWIW it's worth I'm no fan of MM but the glee with which some posters seem to pick apart every word she says, is said about her is just ... at best, odd.

FloofPaws · 26/10/2024 18:00

@Pedestriancrossing - she herself is a bully and narcissist who has hurt many people - and continues to do so

If Harris wins the election, 2025 will be the year of the childless cat ladies. 😁

Well by the looks of your deleted posts, MN doesn’t agree

I'm amazed MNHQ let these tedious Meghan bashing threads stand and I don't even like her.

I suppose they think it's best to keep you all over here in a murky corner of the site.

Another one who got lost on the way to the Gardening threads, perhaps?

Man, meghan looking hot in her red dress really got all the ugly journalists mad. Also harry looking hot surfing. Quick they look too happy so let's drag them down, so they can be as miserable as the rest of us.

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2024 19:21

Also harry looking hot surfing.
Yeah that'll be it. Wonder if he met any seals?
