How influential are Irish mummy bloggers in today's society?

Jen Hogan, blogger and mum of seven, explores the influence of mummy bloggers in today’s society.

If any heed were to be paid to a newspaper article about Mummy Bloggers, recently published across the water, then an assumption might be made that I had to put down the gin bottle and feed my toddler some still frozen fish fingers, just to get enough peace to write this one. The rise of the Mummy Blogger continues and she celebrates neglectful and abhorrent intolerance of her children apparently, and rages against anyone who finds motherhood fulfilling.

Of course sensationalism sells, and in reality Mummy Bloggers are nothing like this. I know, because I am one.
