The Long Silence
Monday, January 31st, 2005Each post this week will tell what I have been up to this last year and why there has been little time to write. Today’s reason, by far the most important, is that I had a baby girl in late September.
So David Hochman’s article in Sunday’s times gave me quite a chuckle.
Today’s parents - older, more established and socialized to voicing their emotions - may be uniquely equipped to document their children’s’ lives, but what they seem most likely to complain and marvel about is their own. The baby blog in many cases is an online shrine to parental self-absorption.
