When she's not busy saving billionaire's mothers from house fires, Kate Winslet is busy raising awesome kids. Check out this anecdote Winslet recently shared with V magazine about her seven-year-old son, Joe:
"I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day. I love the way their brains work. Joe turns to me the other day and says 'One day I will have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling. Which would you prefer?' And I said 'My Love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesn't make any difference to me.' But that he knows! It's a real privilege. Talk about the best education."
Aww, he calls his mom "darling!" How adorable (and British) is that? You've got to love the tolerance and acceptance (and elegance) Kate's instilling in her kids. I don't have children, but if I ever do, can Kate raise them? Also, how about the stylish Elizabeth Taylor-esque photo shoot with the actress in the same issue? Stunning.

That is flippin' adorable!
Sounds like this kid is a weirdo.
sounds like you're a bit of a righteous cunt darling!
pretty much all kids are weirdos & usually the more interesting adults are too
If God made him a boy, his is a boy!
Oh Hooksexup moderators! Come on, open your minds a little, will you?
Oh, so what, it's a choice?!?!?!?!?!
The world needs more Kates.
If he's born that way, why doesn't she just tell him?
oh you
He calls his mother "darling?"
He calls his mother darling; this one is a lock: gay.
I thought the same.
They're Brits, though.
I thought "Buster Bluth"
Pretty sure I knew I was straight when I was 6. And I didn't even know what the word "masturbation" meant until high school.
same for me, but i was 4 gay and didn't know there was a word for it or know that i would be ostracized about it in the future.
imma be a deb like that
Not all Brits call their mothers "darling" Only the "darlings" of the silly, pretentious and vacuous acting world, who lead silly, vacuous lives.
Wasn't aware that any Brits called their mother's darling (not even Dirk Bogarde). A peculiarly British affectation of a certain set is to use the infantile 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' pronouns into adulthood. As you say, the kid has probably picked up the 'Darling' endearment from ironic use of it by his mother when conversing with other theatrical types.
I'm a Brit, living in London, and I dont know a soul who calls their parents "Mummy" "Daddy" (past the age of 10 anyway... unless it's a richard curtis movie) or "Darling" (ever). Then again, I try not to hang out with yuppies.
She must not want grandchildren all that badly.
why wouldn't she have grankids?
Yeah, everyone should sacrifice the happiness of their child just for the proliferation of their bloodline...i mean YEAH BE GAY, KEWL, but who's gonna call me meema or nonna, huh?! Who is going to eat the cookies I bake come old age? It's so unfortunate that there isn't like..an entire system filled with children looking for a loving home..or, like, women who are willing to..like carry other people's babies..or even a whole science of reproduction...UGH.
Don't worry Kate and all, this kid isn't going to up normal by any standards if only because he will have actor parents with plenty of disposable wealth. The gay part is just a cherry on top.
Now you say something
