CM and Motherhood...

[say_tay]

Does Cafemom make you a better mother?  I was thinking about that today.  Is that the purpose of this site?  At times, I think it makes me worse.  It distracts me from my kids.  The time I spend here, I could doing something "extra" for the kids.  Cafemom has been making me feel guilty lately.

I know, I know.. Mom's need time for themselves.  But, has anyone else gotten upset over a troll question, journal, or post, and let that upset feeling carry over to real life?   It was with me, so I decided to avoid certain groups, and the entire Anwers section. 

I have made some really good friends in my main group.  Women that I would get to know in real life.  However, in a blip, either side of the friendship could be gone.   It is hard for me to put that energy out there, when that blip is constantly in the back of my mind.

So as I sit here and type this.. instead of cleaning my house like I should be doing.. I wonder if anyone else had this feeling.

I use Cafe Mom before the kids wake up every day or if they are not around and I am bored.

I have found it super useful to me just to read posts and see that my life is pretty much normal and going well compared to other moms and grandmoms on here.
