Not the parent, but the big issue I've had with the Snowball (which I think is an issue with condenser mics in general) is that it picks up way too much audio, so if you don't have a very quiet environment and a good mic boom and shock mount then it will pick up everything. Breathing, keyboard and mouse clicks, a dog barking 3 houses away, a truck going past.

I've since switched to an AudioTechnica ATR2100X (cardioid dynamic mic) and have found it sounds much better for the environment I'm in.
