I had to comment when I read this post. (...Hello. I had to comment when I read this post. (I found your site through flickr, I love your photos and your words!) Anyway, I am familiar with the "simulating normal" site b/c I found it advertised on craigslist, maybe six months ago. This type of promotion and what you have described make me think it MUST be satire. Whatever it is, its appalling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-1153630099898126802006-07-23T00:48:00.000-04:002006-07-23T00:48:00.000-04:00I am too tired right now to read the links since I...I am too tired right now to read the links since I know I'll become irate and stay up all night fuming. But rest assured I will visit them the next time my own insomnia (read: fetus) dictates and then I will have a solid response, as a former nanny AND mother. Bless your heart for giving me something to focus my sleepless attentions on other than flickr and ebay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-1153582200897314522006-07-22T11:30:00.000-04:002006-07-22T11:30:00.000-04:00It's one thing to complain about your children bei...It's one thing to complain about your children being an inconvenience and being disrespectful when you are disrespectful first, like this woman Marge does. <BR/><BR/>But you LOVE Annabel wholeheartedly. It's very clear in every post. You worry about being a good mother not because your "Biff" tells you you're not, but because you want to do right by your girl and raise her lovingly, happy, and healthy. I think, were she to come across this site at a later age, she'd appreciate the time and care with which you took to document her childhood from the perspective of being her mother. Someday, that will be priceless to her. <BR/><BR/>To me, blogs are just a bit more widespread way of telling the same stories we'd tell over and over again to our relatives and friends as our children grow up. Sure, some of it's embarrassing, like when my parents talk about my potty training escapades with my grandparents, but it's my history. But it's also a chronicle of life, one that will help me remember my own child's milestones as well as the cute things he does day to day.<BR/><BR/>That Marge woman's business is just self serving, so your blog and hers are not even in the same league. There's no comparison.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612468442701491963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-1153550856720159732006-07-22T02:47:00.000-04:002006-07-22T02:47:00.000-04:00I loved reading what you wrote about the lady more...I loved reading what you wrote about the lady more than anything, I'm going to say, "not for real" and think it's more of a ploy to get people to buy her book. But who knows I guess. I was a nanny once to a woman who didn't work. She lived in California has 5 kids, one that's with a rich man she's with now. <BR/>To make a long story short, I had a great relationship with the younger kids, I went back home to see my boyfriend, who then proposed to me and when I broke the news to her she just about died because I was ruining her plans for summer, and how could he do this to her when he knew I had a commitment to her till September? I was heart broken that she hated me for this and that I would never be able to see or talk to them again.<BR/>It was very unsettling I thought about them all the time. Until one day I emailed her husband, the more sane one, and she ended up replying saying she had no hard feelings, and that was in the past, and she forgave me and wanted to know what was up in my life and how I was doing. Well, I emailed back and never heard from her again. At least I feel better about the whole thing even if that was it.Jackie Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660233608285840462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-1153534390806876752006-07-21T22:13:00.000-04:002006-07-21T22:13:00.000-04:00OMG..Ok so..I read the links and I'm furious. Wha...OMG..Ok so..I read the links and I'm furious. What the heck kind of woman brought that woman up in this world to be so self centered and absorbed? She has no idea how precious it is to be a mother...her new boyfriend biff seems to be all she cares about. those poor children-wanting to come home from camp and her saying what she did-if I said she infuratated me would be an understatement. GOD bless those children..may they not grow up to be like their whacked out mother. I can see why she is seeing multiple therapists....she's a nutcase. Don't let her get you down or get you thinking...if and when your sweet little girl ever GOOGLE's her own name and sees what you've written about her-she will know she was loved...unlike her daughters.kimmykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527009466610518600noreply@blogger.com
