How does the author use pathos to appeal to the reader?
At some point in time, everybody feels like their life is unfulfilling. Everyone needs an escape from reality.
That's the main emotional link that the author uses to hook the reader. Mommy blogs are her escape from a reality of work and other chaos. Each one of us has a reality of conflicting conflicts, and can relate. Furthermore, some people argue women can't "have it all"--a life of a flourishing career, a happy family with kids and sanity at the same time. This article has the author on the opposite end of the spectrum from the bloggers she discusses, thus appealing to people on both ends of the spectrum as well as everyone in between.
