I read a newspaper article recently about the world of blogging moms. It is a huge community, and I was startled to read just how huge. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. We moms have lots to say, and it’s bound to be of interest.
But I was sort of taken aback that the thrust of the article was about the controversy among some very successful mommy bloggers. Blogger A not liking what Blogger B had to say about motherhood. Blogger B responding in kind. And so on. Yikes! That is so not my style.
If what a mommy blogger has to say doesn’t resonate with me, I probably won’t return to that blog, but I would feel no compulsion to shout out my perspective. I don’t agree with every work at home mom blog out there, but so what?! I have much better things to do with my time than to be sure that disagreement is known far and wide.
That type of competitive culture does not appeal to me and that’s one of the reasons I am SO happy with the company with whom I work at home. Technically, all of us who represent the company could be considered competitors, but the culture of the company just doesn’t cultivate that. We are on a common mission, we support one another, and we believe that, at a certain level, when one succeeds, we all succeed.
