The BlackBerry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood is a no-holds-barred trip through the wacky world of toddlers and technology. Kathy Buckworth is a modern mother of four and has written a funny and truthful book about life with her new BlackBerry and how her two worlds — technology and
children — collide.
After reading and laughing my way through this book, it got me thinking, are all these modern devices helping or hurting our parenting skills?
My Modern Mom Confessions!
Try not to judge to harshly!
-
My daughter plays on the computer more than we read books.
-
We have traveled with 2 DVD players just so there would be no fighting over what to watch.
-
When my husband asked my daughter a question she didn’t know the answer to she responded with “I don’t know, ask google?”
-
Both of my children can take pictures with my camera, view them and delete them.
-
My daughter has successfully purchased games on my cell phone.
-
My 3 year old son loves to say the word “twitter” but pronounces it as “twidder” and we think its so cute!
- When my daughter was making a list of things she wanted for her birthday she included .com after some of the items.
- I brought more electronic devices on our last trip than SHOES!

I just retweeted from your Twitter page. Modern Mom confession:
My 3 year old takes turns on his older brothers’ video games (psp, wii, gameboy) enough to think that cops are always the bad guys and you have to run away from cops. I’ve spent several conversations with him trying to explain that cops won’t shoot him and he should actually look for a cop when he’s in trouble, not run away from them.
Let’s see, my confession, since I have a blog about chic mom’s myself where shall I begin. I tweet, blog, facebook, and any other media outlet you can think of all the time. I do it so much that my 6 yr old ask if he can tweet his teacher that he will be late to school (in the mornings) and if he can facebook his grandma! To make things even worse I tweet with one hand and breast feed w/the other! LOL!! The treasures of a modern day chic mom- Confessions of a chic modern mom
My Confession…I can’t live without my lappy and my blackberry. Once I started working on my lappy, that is it! I’m glued! Cooking lunch will be an express 10mins! And cooking dinner will only starts at 5pm…(We usually have dinner at about 6pm). I’m glad my 1 year old son is hooked to Dino The Dragon and Nursery Rhymes…so yup, you will be able to hear the Nursery Rhymes DVD playing over and over again..and he’ll be dancing away for hours. Maybe a stop or two for milk and youtube! And that will be on my lap, in front of my lappy. And lunch and dinner will be by my lappy too…

I was as a Walmart in Quebec. Leaving when someone shouted is this your son. He was being so quiet that I thought I left him at home. He did come follow me around the store good as gold but stopped at the gumball machines. I was never so embrassed or horrifed that I forgot he was with me.
My mom’s confession: My work space is my son’s computer desk! He loves to play games on his computer, so sometimes he has to use his father’s computer & his father? He’s left out…
I could definitely use a Blackberry!
