I was surprised not to see more on the BlogHer website about a controversy that has recently cropped up over Camp Baby, a weekend getaway for Moms sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.

Here's an excerpt of my post about it from my blog (you can read more here: http://coolmomsrule.blogspot.com/2008/03/camp-baby.html):

"Now, having read the invitation thoroughly, it came as no surprise to me that Mothers are not expected to bring their children with them for the weekend, as the activities on the agenda suggest that the Camp getaway is intended as a opportunity for Moms to get together, discuss their lives, their successes and disappointments, their challenges and their frustrations and all their methods of coping with the huge responsibility that is Motherhood. It's a chance to let go for a little while, vent and share and even let yourself be pampered for a change, along with other Moms who can understand and support just where you are coming from.

But not everyone came away with the same reading of the situation as I did, and some other bloggers have pointed out that at an event entitled Camp Baby, it seems counter-intuitive that babies and small children cannot be accommodated."

In my post, I link to what some other Mommy bloggers are saying about Camp Baby, and include Johnson & Johnson's e-mailed response to the controversy.
