I came across a recommended parenting information website: babble.com. I think the design blows. It's hard to figure out what's content and what's advertising. And if they could squeeze any more advertising on the page, I'm sure they will. I persevered, though, and read a couple of essays. One was good, and there were a few snarky features like 50 Moms We Hate.

The second article I read kind of left me "meh." It was an essay about a childless woman who convinced her friend with baby to go hiking with her. The childless woman offers to leave the baby with the sitter, but no, the other woman insists, and offers to hike with the baby. Well, alright, says mom.

Turns out, the childless woman is a jerk (self-proclaimed), and hiking with a baby on your back is hard work. I don't know what this essay had to offer by way of insights or new information. I thought it was kind of an odd choice for a parenting site.

Found a blog that is supposed to be funny, Crabmommy. I didn't see the humor in the few entries I read, but I'll go back. She hasn't posted in a while, so maybe the author was just wasn't feeling it and took a needed break.
