I’m sitting here watching Headline News and the story about people criticizing “mommy bloggers” (aren’t we past that term yet?) for posting and tweeting about their personal tragedies.

It really irks me. People who don’t understand the community and relationships that are formed via social media really should stay out of it. If Military Mom wanted to reach out to her online support system during a time of turmoil, then that’s her prerogative. To those who have a problem with it? Here’s an idea -
