Bloggers Help Promote Mothers Sanity

By Joyce Martin


Motherhood is important for a lot more than the continuation of the species. It behooves all of society to promote the welfare of those who care for children. Unfortunately, the insular family structure of the west and the high divorce rate combine to isolate and over-burden many women who are raising a family. Blogs on the internet can be areal source of comfort and may help retain a mothers sanity. Even a virtual group can prove both helpful and companionable.

The problems of any mother depend largely on circumstances. A stay-at-home housekeeper may feel cut off from life outside her home. Certainly many in today's society minimize the importance of her role. It's a sad fact that the person who earns the paycheck is seen as superior, even if both partners are making a significant contribution. Quality time with other adults may be almost non-existent.

For women in this situation, a blog can be a link to the outside world. It can keep her in touch with others who share her role or provide a window to the world of careers, swinging singles, or higher education. A blogger may reassure her of her importance in the grand scheme of life or simply encourage her to keep on keeping on.

Single parents really do have more financial constraints than those who share the responsibility with a husband. However, a married woman may feel meeting the demands of home and children complicated by having to please a man, too. To make things worse, many if not most women (people) are not crazy about keeping a house neat and clean. All homemakers have burdens that vary from light to crushing.

This does not minimize the financial struggles of most single parents. They also must be mom and dad, providing all the emotional support, unconditional love, and moral guidance that children need to thrive. If a woman has to work, she may carry around a load of guilt about putting her children in daycare. Single moms need all the help and comfort they can get.

Even those who have it all on the surface can miss adult conversations. A person with young children can have a totally different lifestyle than her friends who are pursing a career with single-minded determination. Two close friends from high school or college may suddenly have little to talk about. The mother may turn to a blog that discusses topics relevant to her world with relief and gratitude.

The comment section may become a reader's favorite. The person writing the blog may seem like Supermom, but readers who feel a little more inadequate can actually have interesting insights or solutions. Honest discussions are possible in an impersonal format. Frequent contributors can also come to feel like friends.

Blogs come and go, but there are quite a few of them at any given time. Find one and follow it. It really is like being part of a closely-knit group, a virtual quilting bee, and it can be accessed when the kids are asleep, no matter what time that blessed event many happen.
