Nicole Madigan Everest - From The Courier Mail's Mother of All Blogs

A recent article claimed Facebook and Twitter were bad for kids, suggesting mothers who use the social media websites were neglecting their children.

Some might say social media is a great way for mothers (particularly those who spend most/all of their time with their children) to feel connected to the community.

I know it’s been that way for me.

And does the fact that we are talking about modern day technology really make it any more neglectful than say, TV? The telephone? Books? Magazines?personal grooming? Day dreaming?

If someone wants a destraction from their kids, they’re going to find one.

But what do you think? Are you neglecting your kids by reading this very blog?

Am I by writing it? I do so as my son is dances to The Wiggles at the moment, while the bub sleeps.

But don’t worry, as soon as I type my final full stop, I’ll read him a book and take them both for a walk.

In fact I can hear Bailey waking up now.

Bye!
