Do Bloggers Strongly Oppose Breeding?
I like the West Ender. It’s free, and has ads for all kinds of miscreants in the back. I imagine what getting a massage from some of them would be like, really. I’ve been doing this before I eat, and I have lost 6 pounds. Take that, Southbeach and Master Cleanse.
So, last week, the front page article on the West Ender was “Are Bloggers Making it Hip to Have Kids?”
Hmmm. Are they?
I conclude that maybe they are. But since when was it NOT hip to breed? It’s been hip enough for a bajillion years. It’s pretty much the point of anything. And if I wasn’t saving myself for marriage, I would probably say something like, it’s a hell of a lot of fun, too.
But, I wanted to present the other side of the case. That maybe bloggers are also making it hip to NOT have kids. Hence, introduction of my series “Are Bloggers Making It Lame to Have Kids?” Or something.
It was going to be just one post, but it evolved, and I’ve been so shitty at posting regularly that I decided to go with it. It’s like those women who are worried they won’t be good mothers because they keep killing their plants, or fish. “How will I ever raise a child when I can’t even post in my blog diligently?” Sob.
Come back for the next installment, which is actually something, not me just milking a long introduction to be a needlessly long series.

I think you really nailed it with “since when was it NOT hip to breed?”
I even get uncomfortable talking to proud parents in real life, so I definitely don’t read ‘parenting’ blogs online… but power to them! I’m sure I’ll join there ranks eventually……. after I fly around the world in a hot air balloon, make an 8 digit income and learn how to tie my own shoes.
In related news, “probably” is probably the greatest tag of all time.
