Welcome to Finslippy. I'm Mrs. Brady.

Of course I'm all for being mentioned in the (vaguely damning) New York Times article, but um, Mr. Hochman? It's BRADLEY.

It could have been worse. I could have been Alison Brady.

Okay, carry on.

I think V. is right, Hochman's editor decided that moms blog to relieve their bitterness and rage and instructed him to dig until he got quotes from us that would support his whaddaya call it -- slant. Hence I blog because I am resentful! Of . . . things!

Man, what a misogynist. If men were writing these blogs, they'd be patting each other on the back. What assholes. Never mention how funny and human you guys are. Now I'm pissed, dammit.

Also we're obsessive about our 2 year old's sexuality.

Wow, I really am self absorbed. I can't even leave my whining on my website...I bring it to the Brady's.

Hi Alice:

I got the name right: www.braintique.com/research/mt-archives/000042.shtml.

Here are some pix of my kids: www.bearhome.com/kids/

Great blog, keep it up!

Best wishes,

Harold

read the article, was interested after reading dooce.com this morning. Anyway, you are all fabulous, regardless of what blogless reporter says!

Wow, I realized something today after reading that article - idiots even exist at the NY times! :)

[mamma meg]

After reading the Times article, I checked out Finslippy just because I live down the street in Cobble Hill and I wanted to see what another mom was saying in the neighborhood. I laughed so hard about the Morrissey song that I almost forgot I have been locked up in this ice castle I call my apartment with a 7 week old, eating oatmeal and other bland foods while I function as a human milk truck. Ditto on the Rufus comments (I have it on now), but now I have to go because the bouncy seat that has allowed me to even consider writing this has lost it's luster for my daughter.

i spent more time than i care to acknowledge reading the blogs mentioned by the times' piece -- and i'm not an ee cummings wannabe; it takes at least one hand to operate a breast pump. i can't decide if i should feel guilty at the pleasure i took in all this. afterall, daycare is ahuge expense! but i keep wondering. why all the fuss? most of the bloggers ARE good writers. but a little thin-skinned. come on, are we all too narciscistiic to recognize narcicism when it stares us in the face?

[alice]

You know, the term narcissism is being tossed all around, and no one seems to have any idea what it means. And I'm not pointing a finger at you, Sarah, but geez, someone get out a dictionary and have some clue as to what they're talking about before they open their mouths (or start typing)...

[Liz]

It could have been worse. It could have been Alexander Brady. I keep getting Mr. attached to my name. Because, gender-wise, Liz is so confusing.

Remember, Al Sharpton once referred to me in a televised debate as James Brady. Something about that damn "l" that goes right over people's heads...

[Ms. Brady]

There is SOMETHING about those two names...Brady vs Bradley. I am a BRADY and I have spent my entire life correcting the mulitude of people who insist on saying Bradley....Receptionists, teachers, telemarketers you name it, it always comes out Bradley! Then again after I correct them, there is always the question of whether or not I have a sister named Marcia....the grass is never greener.....

[Sarah]

indeed, a dictionary helps. my spelling was off.

[Anne-Whitney]

Demand a correction by the NYTimes, dammit!

[Em]

Do you know where the kids are, Alice? Marsha just got hit in the face with the basketball.

Anyway, we all think your excellent, no matter what they SAY your name is!

Alice,

I've been reading you for awhile, I also read Mimi Smartypants and Dooce. Jennifer Weiner is one of my favorite authors (after Nora Roberts and Mil Millington).

I don't have kids and I don't want them. But I know funny when I read it. I think you are all great authors. I have come across a ton of blogs that I am not interested in, either so-called "mommy" blogs or not, and I've found it's not whether or not you have kids that makes the difference, it's how you write. Keep up the great work.

As to whether blogging is narcissist (ha, I spelled it right without a dictionary! I'm so proud of myself), I guess that means I must be, as well. Although I have not recently starved to death, staring at my reflection in a pool of water while a nymph tries to get my attention, so maybe not.

[kat]

the brady bunch! :)

Well, Merriam Webster Online says narcissism is a love or sexual desire for oneself. In a more modern psychological sense, I *think* it means a self-adsorption that is intense enough that it impairs a person's ability to understand other people's feelings and to empathize.

I thought that article was depressingly misogynist.

[buy adipex]

Do you keep on eating this and that whole day? It is the main cause behind your weight gain. You are eating more without physical activity. I understand you cannot control those cravings. So I will recommend you to take adipex. Yes, you need to buy adipex if you wish to go for weight loss. Do not worry; if you wish you can get cheap adipex, what you will have to do is, order adipex online. If you buy adipex online you will get it cheap. Control those cravings for chocolate, chips and fatty foods with Adipex.
