Mommy Bloggers

Started by Caroline , author of The Bingham Diaries 8/31/2011 11:57:54 AM

Some people love being referred to as a mommy blogger.

Other people... not so much.

What about you? Do you love the term? Hate it? Maybe you just don't even care. ;)

We want to know what you think about mommy bloggers and their ever expanding influence online....

Let me just say this: I am a mother first and foremost. Then, I am a blogger. If you want to call me a MommyBlogger go right ahead. I DO blog about my kids and my family.

I don't mind the term either. Doesn't bother me at all.

I don't mind the term, but I don't like the way some people refer to it. Like, "oh, you're just a MOMMY BLOGGER, pfffft."

That being said, I think women bloggers shouldn't all be lumped into this category. Some don't have kids, some don't blog about family stuff. Those are the bloggers that need a different "label". You know, if you like labels and all.

That being said, why do you think there is such a negative association with the term?

Because motherhood is generally devalued in today's society.

OH! And remember that if the conversation starts moving to fast, you can adjust the speed at which the responses are displayed. ;)

I think there are still a lot of negative associations with stay at home mothering, or even stay at home working. Because people are jerk faces that don't understand stuff.
