You know, I'...Hey, I just saw your comment tonight. You know, I've never had a full-blown conversation about blogging & motherhood. Let's just say that the occasional dropped comment I've gotten, or heard in close conversation, has been to the effect of: "oh yeah, my mom-blog would be SOOO interesting: today I swept the floor & made lunch." <BR/><BR/>In my circle, there's almost a code of behavior that says: we don't talk about this too much. (Or else...?) It's all very Hallmark-esque, like the sentiments of those endlessly circulated and weepy e-mails that land in my box every week: "This is so hard, but SOO worth it!! End of discussion."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-11785575176802039902008-05-02T21:37:00.000-07:002008-05-02T21:37:00.000-07:00I just saw your comment on dooce and had to come o...I just saw your comment on dooce and had to come over. Do you mean to say that you know other mothers who think that motherhood isn't worth writing about, talking about, blogging about? At first I'm really stunned by that idea, but the more I think about it the more I realize it's probably the norm, for mothers to devalue their own experiences. After all, mothering has been devalued by our culture for centuries, maybe longer. We who speak up are unusual, not those who continue the silence. Thanks for speaking up.dampscribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631146101239217541noreply@blogger.com
