Okay, here's the thing. I'm a mom. And I have a blog - several, actually. But one of the things you learn to give up with being a mom is that certain aspect of socializing that involves cocktail parties, really late nights out, and basically any situation that could easily be classified as 'adult only.' Taking your kid to something like that is selfish, rude, and just as bad as heading down to the bar, baby in tow. You also don't take babies to movies - ANY movies - toddlers are no longer babies and family films are okay then. Get a babysitter, or stay home. Them's the breaks. There are tons of website services now where you can get a babysitter who's been all background checked and fingerprinted and certified 100% kosher. Get one of those. Can't afford one? Then you can't afford to go out, either.

And while I am a mom with a blog, I am not a 'mommyblogger' nor will I ever be one. I think my kids are fascinating, I'm supposed to, I'm the mommy. I don't think everyone else in the world thinks they are nearly as interesting, and that's okay. In fact, it's more than a little bit creepy that people do basically pimp their kids out on the internet. In fact, I'd say it's just plain wrong.
