"Mumsnet has 1.25 million unique users a month.

Another website, the British Mummy Bloggers network, has almost 2,000 members (of which I am one); on Twitter, MumsRock has over 5,000 followers, (including me again) and there are thousands more mothers going online on Facebook, YouTube and the like, sharing intimate, sometimes fascinating — mostly boring — but always curiously irresistible snapshots of their lives as mums.

If it’s not a tweet about Little Darling’s latest poo (‘Uh-oh, someone’s been on the prune juice. Three nappies today #yuckybottie’) we’re uploading photos of it on to Facebook, blogging about it, or chatting in forums on one of the myriad parenting ­websites that have spread like nappy rash.

Much of this chattering about maternal woes, worries and baby milestones is pretty harmless — and it’s a lifeline if you’re after information, or like me, just need a laugh and good company because you’re stuck at home.

But there has to be a limit, and, like so many others, I’m exceeding mine by so far that I’m pretty much addicted."

I have to say that I am glad that Internet was in its very limited infancy when mine were young!
