**Opinion**
To be honest I am concerned about “Mommy bloggers.” I am certainly glad that my Mom never blogged about my childhood. I do not think she would have even the slightest urge to do so nonetheless I am still relieved. The Internet and blogs are great because they can keep friends and family members connected easily and can be accessed from a number of devices but are they dangerous?

“Mommy bloggers” are sharing really personal information about their children and families. They are not just sharing information with the grandparents or long lost aunt they are out there for anyone and everyone to read! What are the dangers, if any, for children whose parents post about their lives constantly? Is it a place that is potential fuel for a bully or embarrassing stories? I am afraid it is just that. Sure, the trials and tribulations of everyday life can be both entertaining and should be shared, but how much is too much? It seems that some “Mommy bloggers” are crossing the line.
