I'm new to the blog world and I've been slow to comment. But, I can't keep my opinionated self on the sidelines forever. <BR/><BR/>Parents visit blogs like yours because it fulfills a need. We are sometimes so isolated with young children (or pregnant, or struggling to get pregnant). We are all looking for ways to connect. We can't lean over the fence and chat while our kids play because we aren't surrounded by aunts and cousins and neighbors, etc. So, we come and lean over your fence. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I can go to the park and reach out to other moms in our area instead of typing on a computer. I do almost every day. But, it's hard to meet people who think like you. Plus, have these mean people ever been to a playground with three small children? Between trying to keep them from breaking bones and trying to make sure no one disappears, there isn't a lot of stellar time left over for deep conversation.<BR/><BR/>If people don't like it, they certainly don't have to come to the discussion. They can take their coffee and lean elsewhere. But, if they come and listen just so that they can run to others to judge and snark, well then that's just good old-fashion eavesdropping, isn't it? It's using others' good will and openness for your own personal satisfaction or gain, which is, wait a minute...there's a word for it...it will come to me...OH YEAH - e x p l o i t a t i o n.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing!
