"Those who don't vaccinate deserve to have their children take away." "Stop taking care of your husband's issues and get a real job." "You still breastfeed your 18-month old, that's weird!" While the online mommy community is generally of a positive, supportive nature, there are a few bad, judgmental apples in the bunch. Some criticize others on everything from their parenting style to their sex life. And for many, getting slammed on a blog feels like high school cattiness all over again. Several well-known bloggers, including Isabel Kallman of alphamom.com and Jen Singer of mommysaid.net, appeared on TODAY to discuss the dark side of mommy blogs, detailing the often bitter, super-critical and downright mean tones prevalent on popular blogs. They also shared smart advice on how to move forward after a negative experience.
