HW10: get real blog mom

Posted on February 13th, 2008 in Uncategorized by ecoyle

After reading “A Webblog Saved My Life Last Night” I had to stop and think, do i agree or disagree with what Waldman is saying? The conclusion I came to was that I disagreed with Waldman. I think that there nothing wrong with a mother having a blog, but for a mother to be spending two or three hours a day blogging is a bit ridiculous. Waldman discussed different intimate details of family life on her blog (i.e. her genetic termination, her sex life, and her feelings for her children) I feel that she is getting too personal, and the fact that she publicized her suicide note makes me wonder. She states that she has a very mild form of bipolar disorder and that she had recently switched medications, by writing the online suicide note she was obviously crying out for help, however, i feel like in a way maybe she was just looking for some attention. Waldman stated that she wrote the post in the middle of the night, if she was seriously thinking about killing herself don’t you think she would have done it before anyone saw the post? I highly doubt anyone is up at that time reading blogs.
