“Mommy Blogger” label poll resultsPosted by Kevin Burke @ 10:33 amThe label mommy blogger is used by some rather loosely, and in general, from what I have heard from moms who blog is that they don’t like it. The concern is that it paints a picture of them that is limited to the parenting of their children. The results from our poll asking, How to do feel about the term “Mommy Blogger”? validates what I am hearing. 40% of moms who blog “Dislike” or even “Hate” the label. To my surprise, nearly an equal number, 39% “Don’t Mind It” or even “Like It!” And if the responders who said, “No Opinion, Got Better Things to Worry About.” are included in this group, the percentage goes to all the way up to 60%.
Conclusion: The majority of moms who blog don’t have an issue with the label “mommy blogger”. But many do feel that it creates a stereotype, so it’s probably best to ask before using it, or don’t at all.
