Wars are being raged.
Between the big and the little.
The heavy and the light.
Mommy vs. Mommy.
And it’s so fucking ridiculous.
I can’t help but think that so much of it is for attention.
BUT…without getting too involved…
I’m just going to state my little tiny Mommy blogger opinion in my tiny little Mommy blogger blog…because I HAVE to…
Get over yourselves.
Seriously.
Because you aren’t better than us. You just get paid. And that doesn’t necessarily mean that your blog is better than mine. Because really, it’s not. It just means…you’re getting paid. Period. So let’s get ourselves back down to reality, shall we.
There. I said it. I got it off my chest.
Now, for the rest of us…little guys.
Keep your heads up.
Keep your voice distinct and true.
Say whatever it is that you need and want to say.
Because, in reality, it’s not about the money.
It’s about writing. And documenting. And being validated.
It’s about being a village.
And maybe, perhaps…
One day, our time will come.
And when that happens, WE WILL be different.
When the new Mommies are asking for our help and guidance.
WE will be happy to help.
When the new Mommies are giving us a shout out on Twitter…
WE will respond to that.
Because WE were once in their part of the HUGE blogosphere.
Lost and confused about where to go.
And when our day comes…
There will be no more Mommy wars.
We will live peacefully in our village.
So true! We all started in the same place. So wise for one so young.
I am so out of the loop..I know nothing of the wars.. but well said..blog drama is just silly.
Seriously…..separated at birth!! So glad you got it off your chest….can you feel the weight lifted? I so agree. I think so many of these blogs are worrying too much about others rather than empowering. I am all about promoting my other blog moms especially because I am a little guppy in the blog world but a decent fish in the real world. Bad enough we are vindicated in our real lives that we need to do so on our blogs and in the blogosphere. I would love to know who passed out the gavels that have been swung around? Love you for the post!! So brave!
I know nothing about any wars-a-brewin, but this was an excellent post. That is all.
what’s going on. i’ve been blind for some time. literally. heh…. fill me in.
shit…there’s a war? how come I don’t know this…oh yes because I am “baby” mama blogger…
I just started blogging a couple of months ago & all I know is I get my inspiration from the little mommy bloggers out there! I love you guys!!!!! You Rock! \m/
It is going on out there, isn’t it? Huh. I’ve heard tell of such things but seeing that I mostly keep my head up my own arse and it’s pretty dark in there I’ll trust that it happens. And you know what? It’s kinda cozy in here. Why go out there?
YES! I’m a new mommy and I get blown off constantly by the ‘pro’ mommies. WTF is that about!?!?!
Well I am REALLY behind on the loop because I’m NOT a mommy blogger and I don’t fit into ANY molds.
So where do I fit in? When is it MY turn?
😉
In all seriousness, I hate people who over-inflate themselves on the internet. It does no good and it makes one look like an asshole.
{cheering and clapping}
🙂 Love when you speak your mind.
I’m just here, in the sidelines, hanging and blogging and being a dork 😉 Works well for me
There is another war brewing? Geez oh Pete! Could not agree more…especially your comment about the fact that some are not better…they just get paid. Getting paid wold be nice but not why most of us do it. I think some people are just really bored or insecure.
YES. YES YES YES. You said it just perfectly. GET OVER YOURSELVES.
Rockage. You’ve got it.
This is just another reason for me to love you and stalk you everyday!
