I am sick and tired of reading mommy bloggers who go on hating the Twilight series just because they think that it is immoral. Granted, most of these haters have not read the books and are going by what they heard others say. Yet they seem to be happy sitting on their high thrones and insult a book series that is much cleaner than some of the other books, TV, music and movies out on the market today.
I also will say I wonder how many of these mommy bloggers watch HBO or allow their children to see Hannah Montana(which is supporting a child star who now wears teddies on stage and pole dances). I wonder how many allow their kids to listen to adult top 40 radio, though their kids are not adults. I wonder how many of those mommy bloggers who have watched $#x In The City(yes, I spelled it like that to protect my blog).
It seems almost strange that they would attack a book that has a vampire who wishes to protect(though some say that Edward is controlling) Bella. He respects her father and mother; he is loving and wishes for her to stay human. What is not moral about the story? Twilight is much better than some stories that kids read, like Gossip Girl or other books like that. Many teen books now have $#x in them as if they were Harlequin novels. They are not the Babysitters Club or other innocent teen books that were on the market 20-30 years ago.
I guess what I am saying is before you insult a book like Twilight or the series, take a look at the real troubled media that you do allow your family to use.

Well, that is a little harsh! However, you do have a point about at least a few mommy bloggers. Not every mommy blogger is that way, thanks goodness! I do feel that some of them should really take a look and see the moral issues surrounding their own lives. If they feel that Twilight is not clean enough, then they should really pay attention to the other teen novels, magazines, movies and music out in the market. Those would give them a real eye opener.

You’ve got to understand a few things about these so-called “mommy” bloggers.
1- They spend their entire day watching television about other mothers just so they can mock and talk smack about Kate Gosselin, Nadia Suleman, and Michelle Duggar. I guess they have no “lives” and they are jealous of other women that do.
2- If they are not watching t.v. they go shopping and blow their husband/boyfriend/significant other’s entire paycheck only to feel “guilty” and go return everything they just bought the next day.
3- If they are not watching tv or shopping they go make up a blog just so they can brag about their grocery shopping adventures, talk smack about celebrity mothers, and tear down everything else they can think of.
As for the women who actually “read” Twilight and knock it, its probably because this is the first time they actually picked up a book in 10 years and wouldn’t know good literature if it bit them on the ass.

Its funny that they are the same fools who say “Don’t impose your morals on me!”, but for some reason they think its okay to impose their morals on you?
I personally find it more worrisome that some girls read magazines that are targeted toward a more adult audience like Glamour, Elle, or even Cosmopolitan. If you read some of the letters to the editor sections, you’d be shocked to find out that some of the readers are as young as 12!
Then maybe they don’t like Twilight because it DOES suggest abstinence. Maybe they would rather have their teenage daughter knocked up just so they can get on government aid.

I don’t think these people like anything!

Perhaps they do not like anything or much of anything.

Perhaps you got a point there. After all, Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon and a lot of people do not like Mormons.
