>Kate has 'mom guilt'
英王妃凯特分享育儿经

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, conducted in the interview on a podcast all about motherhood, and it turns out the British royal can relate to moms all over the world.
剑桥公爵夫人凯特·米德尔顿近日接受了一个有关女性育儿的播客节目的采访，结果显示这位英国王室成员也与世界各地的妈妈有着相同的烦恼。

Speaking with host of the "Happy Mum Happy Baby" podcast, Giovanna Fletcher, Kate confessed that she, too, feels at fault when royal duties come in the way of raising her and Prince William's three children.
凯特在接受"快乐妈妈，快乐宝宝"节目主持人乔凡娜·弗莱彻的采访时坦承，当王室职责妨碍自己抚养与威廉王子的三个孩子时，会觉得自己有错。

When asked by Fletcher if she ever has "mom guilt," Kate responded: "Yes, absolutely! I think anyone who doesn't as a mother is actually lying."
当弗莱彻问及她是否有过"身为人母的内疚感"时，凯特回答说："是的，绝对有！我认为任何说没有的母亲都是在撒谎。"

The Duchess said: "[You're] always sort of questioning your own decisions and judgments and things like that, and I think that starts from the moment you have a baby."
凯特表示："你总会质疑自己的决定、自己的判断，诸如此类的事情……我认为这始于你有了孩子的那一刻。"

The mother of three said one piece of advice that's been helpful to her is realizing it's "not totally" a mother's responsibility to do it all.
凯特说，有条建议对她个人很有帮助，就是意识到并非母亲有责任要做所有一切的事情。

"We all have good days, bad days," she said. "Actually if you can dilute that with others who aren't on that particular day struggling, I think it makes such a difference."
她说，我们都有开心和不开心的时候，事实上如果你能和当下心有余力的人沟通，稀释这些情绪，我认为就会大有不同。
