Family Blogs

Alright, so I guess I have a minor bitch I need to get off my chest. I suppose a great deal of people will say I am jealous of people's families as well as other speculations about my character when I express the following opinion....

Family blogs are very lame and played out. No one really cares about "Aidan's" Easter Egg hunting experience or how many teeth "Isabella" has lost. I am not claiming I have something all important or righteous to speak about on my blog. I only mean to point out that if I wanted to be the most boring and uninteresting person in the world I'd pop out a few dozen kids so that I could constantly assault the internet with my cute family stories - you know the ones that you should be telling your own families, not anonymous people on the internet. Now you may be tempted to trick your mind and heart into believing that they blog and post these things for their extended or even immediate family that may not be local to the blogging family's current home. Don't be ignorant, back in the 1990s there was this amazing thing that became viral among computer users; it was called electronic mail. It allows people to no longer waste trees, glue, and the postal service's time delivering those annual family newsletters, but instead use clever clip art and photo shop to make the most annoying display of family vanity possible that can be delivered instantly to all other family members.

I just really feel that those things should be saved for the people who may actually care and are actually somewhat involved in your picture perfect families. I suppose I just want something original. A few quirky and interesting family blogs gained some popularity (mostly due to well educated and well versed parents who needed an outlet from their daily lives),and for whatever reason, now ever soap opera loving house mom on the planet thinks most of us actually give a shit about what she is doing to help potty train her two year old. F.Y.I. they make forums for that. Forums that require someone to join to share this boring information with each other rather than bombard the whole internet blogging scene with this drivel.

So, in closing, I am asking the internets to send me something a bit more exciting and original than Dick and Jane Doe's Family Lifestyle.
