I have another confession

Must be the lapsed Catholic in me.

I'm fascinated by other people's tragedy blogs, esp. if they are baby-related.  That guy whose wife died of a blood clot after giving birth (http://www.mattlogelin.com/archives/2008/04/13/what-happened/), the people in Texas who lost four of their sextuplets (http://stanseljourney.blogspot.com/), this one (http://embracingelijah.blogspot.com/).  I don't know why.  They do make me really, really grateful that all is well with Maddie, though.

Schadenfreude?  It sounds so insensitive--it's not like I'm sitting here saying, "Better you than me!"

Nevertheless, they suck me in, and I'm not especially proud of it. 

Re: I have another confession

  • I'm the same way. I think it's because you hear firsthand what their experience was like. It can be pretty raw.
  • me too, or the high risk pg. blogs w/ multiples.  I've tried to step away from it recently though, because I don't need all that weighing freshly in the back of my mind right now.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
  • Maybe schadenfreude, but it's not like you are HAPPY about their misfortune, just interested in the story of their lives. I watch 'I Survived' because it is fascinating, not because I'm stoked that people went through that crap.
