I am a dooce reader. At her best, she is a great writer, a classic of a new genre. Though I was surprised about the split, I could sort of tell something was up. Over the past few months her writing had become very stilted and a bit frantic, like you could tell she was hiding what was actually going on. She also seemed to be unhealthily obsessed with exercise, to the point of seriously injuring herself. Definitely seemed like trouble brewing.

I haven't read her blog in a while; I'll have to catch up on it this weekend. Sad to hear about her marital problems.

Actually she got her start by being fired for blogging about her employer.

The whole mom blogger thing kind of troubles me. As a mother, I can't really imagine thinking that it was a good idea to put tons of pictures of and information about my child out on the internet for everyone to see. If a mom or dad wants to live his or her life publicly, that's fine, but it seems wrong to make that choice for a child who has no say in the matter and doesn't have the capacity to make that sort of decision anyway. I wonder how those kids are going to feel about the whole thing when they get older.

That statement is completely incompatible with the fact that you are on DCUM and that you clicked on a post about someone you've neer heard of getting divorced. But go on thinking you are so superior, I'm sure it makes you very popular in real life.


Funny. I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that post.

Honestly, I always thought she was gay.

13:07 Me, too.

I'm not sure if it's a million a year but her husband hasn't removed a single piece of furniture from their huge house. She seems to be controlling all the shots, and she wanted the separation, not him.

I am confused about what happened to her HGTV deal.

Although she had been blogging for years, she gained a massive following when she chronicled her challenges with post-partum depression following the birth of her first child eight years ago. She has blogged about many of the challenges of motherhood.

I used to read her religiously but I stopped a few years ago when she stopped focusing on motherhood and started focusing on other stuff.

I was shocked to see in that Slate article that she generates more than $1M in ad revenue alone. Crazy!


I stopped reading her too, once she got a big fancy house and all into "design" and being on TV. I just can't relate anymore.

It's a trial separation...maybe they'll work it out?

Who knows. Never heard of her until this thread but it's sad for anyone to go through this.

It is literally the polar opposite of Kelle Hampton.


And who is she?

Frankly, I don't understand this at all. Dooce and Kelle Hampton, apparently, are making money off their blogs. But people who 'follow them for years"??



If you don't understand, why are you clicking on this post? I'm sure Wikipedia can be of service here.
