The modern cynical mother?

I used to peruse a popular and often humorous 'mommy blog,' where moms could share and laugh over their struggles and know they weren't alone on their strange and wonderful journey, but I have abandoned it in recent months, as it has descended into a cynical and snarky pit of criticism and negativity, wherein political fads push the agenda and all the writers seem to think motherhood is a tortuous form of trench warfare wherein martini drinking is the only solace from the barbarous heathens with whom they are forced to cohabitate for the next 18 years, bemoaning how it has ruined their looks and social lives and how they never 'signed up for this!'  They have forgotten how to laugh, nay, even to smile, and have resigned themselves to the gallows and hope to make the most of their self-imposed martyrdom.  I kept going back, hoping it wasn't so, but each hopeful check only revealed the sad truth that it was indeed the new modus operandi of the site and thus my flight and search for a more realistic alternative.  For what they knew as motherhood was an alien and hostile world to me, their very view of life tainted and twisted.  But all hope is not lost, at least if you stay off that site, I ran across this refreshing article on the truth about motherhood and modern culture.  Enjoy!
