It's my party

When I started this blog I wasn't really putting a label on it. For me it is just another way to express what I am going through at the moment. Sort of like therapy but cheaper. I am not a writer as you probably figured out if you got this far. This is not even my first language so I apologize for the blatant misuse of grammar and punctuation (I am able to avoid spelling errors thanks to spell check, I LOVE spell check). So this blog is not my way of writing the next great American novel or even a mediocre one at that. I suspect that it is so for most of the bloggers I encountered. For many blogging does translate into something more than a hobby. And most of these people are indeed brilliant. Their blogs are as addictive as chocolate and extremely well written.

It came to my attention recently that there's been a whole controversy brewing about blogging and "mommybloggers" in particular. Apparently certain people take offense at mommies chronicling their trials and tribulations on the web for all to see. They ridicule the potty mouthed language and overabundance of poop and boobs entries in these blogs. My take on it is if you don't like it, don't read it. But these "critics" keep on reading and ridiculing. Which I guess is fine. I am a huge fan of ridiculing things myself, so I am not going to judge. Or am I? Who am I kidding, of course I am. You know that saying "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all"? Definitely not something I subscribe to. So they can have their fun and I will have mine. And it will include tons of poop stories. Because it is MY blog and hello the name is babyBOTTOMS. What do you think comes out of there, french perfume? Although I bet that would pay for all the diapers. Well, this turned into a rant but it's my party and I'll rant if I want to............

I didn't realize a revolt was beginning towards the "mommy blogs". What a shame. I love to use my blog to remember, not just the special moments of my life, but those everyday moments. Those moments that my kids will probably remember more than any others.

You're right. It is your party! Blog on Mom!
