Muddling Along Mummy wrote an interesting post recently about the assumption that everyone on the internet is just like you, in which she said: But there are people I look at on the internet and I think ‘what?????’ Like the ladies on twitter who describe themselves purely as someone’s mother and someone’s wife – where are you? Where is your identity? Do you exist only as a reflection of someone else? And no I don’t tend to follow them. I … [Read more...]
