Well, another article has hit the web, this time from the Telegraph. Another article that criticises the online parenting forums (Mumsnet and Netmums in particular) and the plethora of "mummy bloggers" who somehow find the time to blog amid all of their other responsibilities.
The author, Jojo Moyes, manages to criticise the topics on the parenting forums and points a finger at the forums which, she says, are nothing more than an online "school gate". She adds:
But read them for long and it’s hard not to imagine your average user glued to her screen, posting tips or criticisms, while her own child sits ignored in front of CBeebies. Yes, they offer support and community, but they also soak up the one resource most mothers have in shortest supply: time.
Another mother/journalist who is weighing in on the precious topic of blogging and motherhood. What do you think? Are parenting forums and blogs detrimental to the raising of your children? Do your children suffer while you sit, glued to the screen? We're pretty sure we know what you will say but let's hear it anyway! Is Jojo Moyes right?
