Why do people hate mummy bloggers? via glosswatch.com

Do people really “hate” bloggers that have children? Or do people just quickly lose patience with blogs that are about nothing but the writer, their children, and the minutiae of their daily lives? I suspect that 99% of people are ambivalent toward the mummy blog phenomenon, and that the majority of any “hatred” is directed from blogger to blogger in a self important pity chamber.

Still, it’s something contentious to blog about. It might even generate some comments and shares which, as we all know, deep down, is the only reason any of us bother keeping one of these things.

I’ve often thought how glad I am that the internet wasn’t widely adopted until I was a teenager, and blogging until a few years after that. I have a horrible feeling that, if I was born 15 years later, I’d have been one of those poor souls whose formative years were uploaded to the internet for the world to see and other mothers to coo or curse over.
