Motherhood is a wonderful thing. Fortunately. We'd all be in bad shape without it. But women with children can feel isolated. They may feel inadequate; they may feel overwhelmed. Especially in this age when single-family homes are standard, and when many single mothers are struggling alone, having support is important. The internet can be a great resource because there are many sites that talk about a mom's daily pressures, concerns, or problems. These sites can help preserve our mothers sanity.
Although problems tend to differ based on circumstances, there are many common concerns. A stay-at-home mother may feel more cut-off from adult life than one who works outside the home. However, a working mother may hurry home and devote herself to housework and 'quality time' (if she has the energy) with her child. Neither of these women have time for friends unless they are in the same play group. It doesn't help when society tends to minimize the contribution a mother makes.
A blog can provide an adult viewpoint as well as a forum for those things that matter right now. It can be refreshing to see others struggling with the same things, and it can also be food for thought when a blog keeps women in touch with what's going on in the outside world. A blogger can also reaffirm the importance of the role a mother finds herself in.
While single parents may feel their problems are greater than those who can share them with a partner, the role of a stay-at-home mom is not necessarily enviable. It may be a strain to care for kids, get the housework done, and show a smiling face and ready dinner to an exhausted, grumpy man coming home from a hard day. It is a truth long recognized that we all have burdens.
Single women may feel better if they read about the problems married women face. They may also feel like telling them to walk a mile in their shoes, day after day after day. Many women who absolutely have to work feel guilty about putting their children in daycare. They may also come home tired to face kids wanting attention and dinner and more. A blog may address this, or the comment section may give them a forum to 'tell it like it is'.
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.
Even the comment section can be a release. A reader may find that the blogger seems to have it all together but other readers feel as discontented or unequal to the task as she does. Honest discussions can arise online that are as interesting as those conducted with friends over cups of coffee.
There are quite a number of blogs that seek to support moms. Finding one that interests you is kind of like attending an old-fashioned quilting bee or coffee clatch.
