Gowanus Lounge does a nice rap up of the Park Slope mommy writers. Not only does he mention OTBKB and Smartmom but he’s got Amy Sohn and the new Diary of a Park Slope Mommy (on Gawker) in there, too. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I always say….
Park Slope moms that are writing and
blogging about their lives, either positively or negatively: we have Amy Sohn,
the former New York Mag sex columnist turned mommy who is turning her
talents as a writer to writing about how awful it is to be a Stay at
Home Mom and how all the Park Slope Stay at Home Moms are vaguely
insane, Zoloft eating zombies. One suspects more words in the
self-hating mommy genre will be coming from Gawker, which has just started up a "Diary of a Park Slope Mommy."
We’re definitely not expecting joyous odes to Park Slope motherhood to
be coming from this corner. Here’s a few words from the blog entry
introducing the new feature:
"Diary of a Park Slope Mommy" will chronicle the angst, despair, and corrosiveness to the soul that raising children and living in Park Slope engenders.
