Bleh Mommy Blogs

Jeanne finally says what most of us have already figured out: she will never be a "bleh mommy blogger".  I get it.  I wonder if it's that she's given up on the dream of adoption and a family, or if she's just decided it's not going to happen for her.  Which ever it is, I hope she has peace with it.  There are just too many hard feelings when it comes to decisions about family to wish anyone anything but peace about it.

I did go and read the link she posted, and I think that blogger may have a point.  The internet is full of Mommy Bloggers.  I myself have been one since 2002.  My blog has been hosted several places, and in it's life had at least 1 reader somewhere, despite long hiatuses.  But I think these blogs are easy to avoid if one wishes to, and obviously there's a market for them if they're so wildly successful.  So, I see no reason to begrudge them their place in the online world.

I get the feeling that Jeanne loves to bash women who are in that place, like myself, where home and family are the center of everything.  And I can't decide if she just really can't stand what she sees as a narrow existence, or if she's secretly sorry that she's never experienced it.  Either way, I think it's time to let it go.  Let the moms be who they are, interested in the things they're interested in, and everyone else can go about their business.  Kids grow up, and our focus will change.  Of course, by then, there will be newer younger moms to take our place.
