Blogger envy

Bingeing on Aisling Ozdimers FB page after reading  all of her blog.She's so funny and over shary, so is Part time Working Mummy(spelt that as Whoring first, auto correct and typos have a lot to answer for)Constance Hall ,The Unmumsy Mum Peter and Jane-I love her satire.Always thought I was oblivious to things but people thinking her posts are real and Daddy should get rid of her show there are far more blinkered than me out there.I count Cooking on a Bootstrap too as Jack writes about struggling to feed her and her son when her benefits were delayed. She had been a member of the Fire brigade before her circumstances changed and her story was frightening to read when it comes to basic neccessities and food poverty. I'm envious of the writing and their willingness to put their head above the parapet. They get villified severly despite all the other praise that has to sting. They spend far more time than I crafting well written posts and often throw their very much loved family under the bus. Mine would shout at me and probably not speak to me after. I'm even jelouse of  fur baby mummyLiz Jones writing even though she can be devisive and most of her problems do seem 'First World'. Penelope Trunk is fantastic for making me think. She has an editor but still has to come up the content in the first place. I absolutely do not agree woth everything she come out with but it's so thought provoking. She has been posting regularly lately as hers homeschooled(maybe unschooled now ??) boys are in their teens so giving her more time maybe to write. I loved how she posted about her youngest coming out and how totally accepting she was of it yet unsuree of how she should respond to me. She looked for help with this which is fantastic. The majority of us want to do the best for our kids but we might not always know how to respond in the way that is best for them. As horrible as the internet can be I love that you can find a group or info on any topic you want. This is great if you have a child that is opposite in interests , ideas and personality to you. you can find their people and just do your best to accept them as they are instead of the idea of them you may have had. I think too you cn usually find someone in the family that was like them somewhere. It may be a few generations back and you may be able to learn how to how best to support them (or what not to do) from looking back.
