What do you think of 'Twimoms'?

I think it's insanity to be honest.
My main issue with Twilight is aiming it at a young audience meant readers weren't always mature enough to read it without being influenced, so you'd think older fãs would be ok with me, but not in this case, as I think there's a difference between Twilight fãs who are moms and 'Twimoms'. Twimoms reach the same level of obsession as the young fans, so it's even mais disturbing to me, because it makes them seem emotionally underdeveloped. They show behaviour they should have long grown out of, often with very little dignity. Their obsession is also a bad influence to young fans, because seeing grown ups show the same 'twi-hard' bad behaviour as them tells them it's a fine way to act. Also, it sends the message that things like the abusive relationship in the books is ok/healthy because young fãs can say 'it's not just an adolescent fantasy...my mom thinks that's a great amor too!'. Young fãs seeing older mais 'mature' women also swooning over that type of relationship behaviour validates it.

Also, let's look at the obvious. They are too old for Twilight obsessing. It's a juvenile tween book. It's one thing to enjoy something a little childish when you grow out of it's intended age group (I still like disney movies) but there's a big difference between enjoying and obsessing, and to obsess over a tween fad at that age is insane. To me, an older woman who reaches the level of obsession needed to be classed as a Twi-mom needs immediate medical attention. I honestly believe they need therapy.
I don't mean this about any older person who likes the series, just the ones obsessed enough to be called 'Twi-moms'

As for mothers who approve of the books, that's a personal issue I guess. If I had kids I wouldn't be ok with them leitura Twilight or aspiring to be like Bella, but if a parent has made themself familiar with it, and is either ok with it or feels their child will not be influenced, while I disagree and personally don't understand someone wanting their kids sent those messages it's not really my place to judge. I'd just hope they'd raised their kids well enough to read it without being influenced. If they have it's not an issue, and if they haven't then their problems go beyond Twilight.

they suck eggs

I was linked to a disturbing discussion on the twilight moms forums once. A mother was posting this rant about how she was so angry and devastated and "heart-broken" upon discovering that her daughter didn't like twilight. She was atuação like there was something wrong with her and was basically asking the other moms how to fix her daughter. She even said she was going to take away her daughter's internet access in order to prevent her from visiting anti-twilight sites.

This is just an example of how when you isolate a group of slightly unhinged people in their own community, they catalyze each others' craziness until they become a mob of raving lunatics self-perpetuating their own mass delusions.

MY mom likes twilight but not in an over baring way she read it once and comes with me to the pictures to see it but thats where it stops. Dont know if i could cope with some of the twi-moms you guys are reporting :D x

that is just freaky why why why i don't freaking understand some people.

I think that they just want to fit in with there daughters, you kow like have a better reltionship with them, have something in common with them

DISGUSTING!!!

and mums are SUPPOSED to set an example to their daughters!!! >:(

lol, kinda freaky to me if my mum turned into one. But to some people thats just it, they've lived in the real world for such a long time, that they have found a book that represents the dreams they probably had when they were little

Well, I'm going to admit that I disagree with some people here (the ones who are being offensive).

Not all parents who like Twilight are fanatics of the series. They may like the books as any other sane person would. I know a grandmother who liked the Twilight series, and to me she seems like any other strong, normal woman who raised her children to be good, sociable, well-liked adults.

Why should someone's liking or disliking a series affect their parenting skills?

I'm not trying to be harsh or offensive. This just simply puzzles me.

I highly doubt someone's opinion on a book series turns them into a bad mom.

I think it's sick, disgusting, and those women need to get a life! I mean really, I can understand wanting to see the movie or even read the book because of a good vampire story (which is something I don't think Twilight is, but I'm just saying), but being OBSESSED with it is ridiculous! These women are obviously drawn to what the whole book's about: romantic Edward and/or Jacob. It's disgusting! These characters that they're drooling over could be their own kids! And not only that: aren't these women supposed to be married...? There are plenty of vampire romance ADULT books out there! Twilight is directed to teens looking to fall in amor with some fictional character-THERE OWN AGE! Twilight Moms: HAVE SOME SENSE, GROW UP, AND GET A LIFE!!!
