5 Types of Mommy Bloggers I Hate That Most Likely Hate Me Too

By Solitary Mama On November 4, 2011 · 98 Comments · In Solitary Mama, What I Do

Oh snap...I've said this before

Mommy Blogger: (Mom-ee Blawg-er) A maternal- type person that keeps an online journal, often referred to as their “J.O.B.” even if they don’t make any money. Because since it’s a J.O.B. it totally justifies sitting on the computer all day. The Mommy Blogger started out as a Farmville Fanatic on Facebook, but figured out they could get free stuff and coupons if they moved to a blogging platform, usually Blogger. Eventually, Mommy Bloggers will take up another part time job as forum troll to harass people that don’t like Mommy Bloggers and to make sure the world knows that “BLOGGING IS MY JOB BITCHES AND I’M STILL THE BEST MOM IN THE UNIVERSE…wait where’s my kid. Can’t find my kid…”

Mommy Bloggers I Hate

Boring and Lame Mommy- One popular type of Mommy Blogger is the Slice of Life, or A Day in the Life Mommy Blogger which blogs just because it’s fun. She says she doesn’t give a shit if anyone reads her blog but she wants the world to know that Johnny pooped two times in his Lightning McQueen underwear and often attaches a photo of said feat. As I have said before, that crap is boring (and gross). No one cares unless you’re someone important or famous. If you want to share every boring detail of your life with your family, that’s what Facebook is for.

Will Write for Peanuts Mommy- Mommies that claim blogging is their J.O.B. are the ones most guilty of writing and performing other stay at home duties for $2. That’s right, people will write a 400 word article for your site with your name on it for anywhere between $2 and $10 and a lot of times said person is a mom. Why? I don’t know. I have tried to explain to mommies in the past that this is not a good deal. Copywriters and blog writers are paid anywhere from $20-$100 per blog post. You’re messing it up for the rest of us who will not, under any circumstances even write a thank you card to our own family members for less than $10.

Illiterate Mommy- I’m no genius, but I do know when to use too, to and two and their and there and you’re and your and it’s and its. And you know what? Not everyone knows the difference and it doesn’t always indicate a lack of intelligence. However, if you write or blog and if you claim that writing or blogging is your job, then you had better pay attention to some grammar and spelling rules. If you can’t take the time to at least try to write coherently, I’m not wasting my time trying to read what you have written. I should not be wondering whether you or your child is updating your blog.

Product Review/Giveaway/Coupon Mommy— Bless your hearts and souls but there are far too many blogs that are designated to one of or all three of these categories. These are the mommies that most often claim blogging to be their form of employment, however let me say this: jobs pay money, not free stuff. Would you work at McDonald’s just for free hamburgers? Would you work at McDonald’s just to receive coupons for hamburgers that you could peddle to your friends and family? Hell no, you wouldn’t. Furthermore, as I’ve said before…try paying your electricity bill with diaper giveaways or a BOGO coupon for Tic Tacs. Good luck with that.

Sick and Afflicted Mommy- These blogs are all about whatever sickness the mom has. Fine if you’re educating and providing useful information to others, but if every post starts with, “today was another rough day. Tried to brush my teeth…” I’m going to feel sorry for you, but I’m also never going to visit your blog again. Ever. That shit is depressing. I have enough to be sad about without a daily reminder that it takes all of the strength in your body to wash your ass. At least toss us a recipe or something once in a while.

I do realize that I am a mommy and I blog. I also know quite a few mommy bloggers that I adore and do not fit into these categories. Dad bloggers that fit into these categories suck too sometimes and I’m all about equal opportunity so I hate you guys too. If you want to blog then blog about something that people want to read about. As my friend says…write something that actually says something. Otherwise, use Facebook and stop taking up all of the good domain names.

Here’s the other post I wrote about Mommy Bloggers. Guess I forgot I hated them.

http://www.bubblegumonmyshoe.com Cari an Un-Mommy-ish Blogger, please don’t hate me:)

I agree with Sara up there. I think the kind of Mommy Blogger, or at least one of them, you are referring to have over 1000+ followers. What’s up with that? I think they are fond of the ol’ follow me and I’ll follow you blog hop. I think real bloggers read blogs, not just write them. That’s the most time consuming part for me anyway; maybe I just read too many blogs. Real writers, no matter how good or bad, have a love for the written word. I say whatev, blog on Mommy Bloggers, there’s a a truckload of Pam cooking spray and tampons to give away…who else is gonna do it?
- Solitary Mama
  
  I have tried blog hops and such but I don’t have time or energy to go and follow everyone back just because they followed me. Some of those bloggers that I hate actually have talent too…I just don’t want to read them.
- http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L
  
  Just to play devil’s advocate, they may have 1000 followers by writing quality content and offering items and insight that their readers appreciate.
  - http://www.bubblegumonmyshoe.com Cari
    
    Cyndy, you’re right, they obviously have an audience as companies flock to them. No doubt the “mommy bloggers” are a force to be reckoned with. If I don’t like it I don’t have to read it. There is enough room in the blogosphere for everyone.
    
    Solitary Mama, keep your chin up, because I know you and love you and I post pictures and crap about my kids, misuse words and whine, and you still like me.
    
    You do write a humor blog right? Grain of salt people, simmer down.
http://chopperpapa.com Chopperpapa

Brilliant Chica! You stole my thunder…I was going to write a post titled…’why I stopped reading your blog’. I think I’ll have to wait now.

As a reminder.I need a pic of you in the T…kapish?
- Solitary Mama
  
  Well, that’s a different topic and I think you could write it better anyway.
  
  Working on the pic. Just waiting for the armpit hair.

Brava! I actually read more “mommy blogs” before I became a mom. I just don’t have the time to keep up with a lot of them anymore, and I really want to read the posts of people I like and people I interact with. It’s hard enough to keep up as it is. I guess once you get into a space where you have a zillion followers, you’re just about content going out, not interacting, but for me, the interaction is a key part.
- Solitary Mama
  
  I forgot about interaction but totally agree that it’s important. It’s always more interesting if you feel like you “know” someone.
http://oh.so-very.me Jenny

I wouldn’t consider myself a “mommy blogger” ’cause i almost never blog about being a parent. I mostly stick to shit that bothers me, some of my photography… pretty much any random thing that pops into my head at the time xD But I might be boring at times, especially to other people but no one ever says anything so I really have no idea.
- Solitary Mama
  
  But there are so many pretty pictures on your blog. Besides, random almost always works for someone. That’s what I do most of the time. I don’t think you need to worry about it, Jenny
http://www.troublesometots.com/ Alexis

So I totally hope that nobody I know actually reads your site and finds my comment but…

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

I’m friends with these Mommy bloggers and most of my Twitter followers are Mommy bloggers and some people call me a Mommy blogger but I’m not (have not and will never blog about my own kids, poop, etc.).

It’s been done TO DEATH. There are no more cute stories, Mommy insights, or cute photos to share because every possible combination is already out there. It’s reading Family Circle cartoons. Yeah they were marginally entertaining at one point but now they’ve been in print for 40 years and they’ve been recycling the same jokes for the past 30.

But to live in the blogsphere you need to comment, like, link to, etc. (or just accept that 100% of your site traffic will come from Google, until they change their algorithm and your traffic => 0) so you do it.

And the giveaway mommies are the WORST (they dominate triberr BTW) because they are shilling garbage for pennies. I actually read a post where this Mommy was waxing poetic about the benefits of Charmin. TOILET PAPER.

And I hate Blogger. Blogger is like the tramp stamp of the Internet.

Was recently looking for data and this article suggests that in 2010 there were 3.2 Mommy bloggers in the US alone.

http://www.digitalmomblog.com/2010/10/13/how-many-moms-are-blogging/

Wow that was really cathartic. Thanks for letting me get that out. Now I’m just going to hope that nobody I know ever sees this. Because they might toilet paper my house. And then write a post about how great Charmin is for toilet papering a house.
- Solitary Mama
  
  hahaha…secret is safe with me, Alexis.
- Adelina
  
  I’ve made a mental note of your name and blog. Here’s hoping a backstabbing two-faced individual like yourself doesn’t surface in any of my Mommy blogging communities. If I ever discover you are “friends” with any of my inner circle, I would be curious to find out how they would feel if I told them you secretly hate them. tsk tsk
  - Solitary Mama
    
    Wow you are an angry, crazy-ish mommy blogger.
    - Adelina
      
      When my J.O.B. and friends are being insulted by someone so mean, yes I get angry
      - http://sevwinters.com Sevastian Winters
        
        Aw… was someone being a Ms. meaniepantz? Good. I’m on the side of Solitary Mama. Your “J.O.B” wouldn’t be insulted if what she was saying weren’t so true. So stick that in your diaper and sniff it.
      - http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L
        
        That is my problem with the tone of the post and the ensuing commentary. Why insult the blogger? has there been influx of “mommy bloggers” and has this resulted in some substandard blogs? YES. I don’t think anyone would argue the point and, like any other business, the market will weed those out and the quality blogs will remain. I don’t take issue with that at all. I have a problem with a post and conversation that is directed at a group of people. That example of the person who writes about their own individual experience with their own disease is heartless. If that blog helps them to deal with that disease, then I say “so be it” and “go forth and conquer”. I don’t have to read that blog. I also don’t have to attack the person who writes the blog. I think this post and the entire discussion typifies what is wrong with our society. Why focus our efforts and our energy on attacking any group of people? Solitary Mama – take your writing skills and do something good with them. Educate other bloggers about how to have a quality blog and offer them the wealth of your apparent expertise instead of attacking them.
      - Adelina
        
        Be careful there, Sevastian. Ms. Solitary Mama might slap your wrist for your poor spelling. For the record, the bulk of this post is grossly incorrect. She is ASSuming things about a group of bloggers she truly knows nothing about. Not to mention attacking the reasons why they choose to write about certain topics. It’s unfortunate she chose to go the route of being hateful and negative. Her byline implies she is a single parent. I am saddened to think she is teaching her child(ren) to be as cruel as she is. You may continue to “defend” her. I really don’t care. It only makes you look just as bad (if not worse).
      - http://sevwinters.com Sevastian Winters
        
        I have a reputation for being an asshole, so you aren’t going to tarnish me, but sweetheart, and I do mean that condescendingly, if any of this blog stung you, then perhaps instead of bitching about how much it hurt, you should consider WRITING A BETTER BLOG!
      - Dawn
        
        Since you are doling out free advice today, I figured I would pay it forward. You should consider putting diaper over your mouth to keep the stank from oozing out Muah!
      - Adelina
        
        Do you mean a “better blog” like the one you write? I read the post you wrote which was linked to your reply above. Perhaps, if Ms. Solitary Mama had written this one from a similar perspective, such as one with an urge to help rather than insult, the feedback would be a whole lot different; definitely more positive. She is a “truck” running over so many talented and well-deserving bloggers….and yet you are defending the truck? “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and “Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged”. Ms. Solitary Mama included in her own title that the sentiments she feels towards certain bloggers are likely reciprocated. It’s apparent by the comments left on this post that she was, in fact, correct.
    - http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L
      
      Actually, she’s one of the best people I know. However, when you launch a shot over the bow at a group of people, you should expect some response. I’ve spent a few moments looking at your blog and I like your writing style. However, I’d be surprised if I came back to read more solely because of this and similar posts. I view blogging as a business and as much as we all get to share our thoughts and opinions, I think it’s almost irresponsible to attack a group of people. You could have chosen to write a post about 5 type of mommy blogs that you hate, but you chose to attack the bloggers. Like any other business, I see things that I don’t like in people’s behavior and I write constructively about that without attacking. I realize it’s free speech and you have the luxury of choosing your topics and your style. I believe the “rub” comes in when you direct the speech at people rather than behaviors or things.

Seriously… are you just having a really bad day or…? “Mommy Bloggers” well lets just start off by saying I love all of my Mommy Bloggers buddies. We are a very close blogging community. As for working for FREE… NOPE I do not know a single one in our community that will work for free. To each their own. However I can’t say as I would ever be a repeat costumer to your blog because you are so negative and dish on those that you obviously do not know.
Maybe you just need a really big Mommy Blogger hug.
Just my own personal observation from my one time visiting your blog.
- Solitary Mama
  
  I’m great, Bonnie! Thanks for asking and thanks for stopping by!
  - Bonnie W
    
    I love the ironic “win Free Shoes” link at the top of the page. I guess it never hurts to slide over to the “Mommy Bloggers side of Blogging when it serves it’s purpose.
    So happy you are “great”.
    - Solitary Mama
      
      The giveaway belongs to Alonai.com whom I also get paid to write for

  “big Mommy Blogger hug” Laugh! Snort!
http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L

Interesting post, although I can’t say I can agree with the level of hostility you have toward the mom blogger community. Like any other community, there are those who leave a bad taste in your mouth and/or give the whole community a bad name.

One quick note I can’t help but make. While you are questioning the literacy of anyone, you probably should check your own. Important to know “then” as opposed to “then”. Quote from your post: “However, if you write or blog and if you claim that writing or blogging is your job, than you had better pay attention to some grammar and spelling rules.”
http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L

And I should spell check more often myself – should have said “then as opposed to “than”
- Solitary Mama
  
  Good catch, Cyndy! I had another one I fixed earlier. There’s no hostility…this is what I hate. Just as if I had said I hate hotdogs…doesn’t mean I’m hostile toward hotdogs, I just don’t like them.
  
  Thanks for stopping by!
  - http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L
    
    Not a problem. I can’t really agree with your analogy though. A hot dog is an inanimate object and a blogger is a person.
Adelina

This post definitely makes you look like a hypocrite. Can you say “pot calling kettle black?” Or is that not within your own grammatical ability? You claim to hate Giveaway bloggers, but the first thing I noticed when I came to your page is a flashing GIVEAWAY button offering people a chance to WIN a pair of shoes. Did you change your mind and come over to the dark side of blogging?
Also, shame on you for ridiculing the ones who blog about their illness. No one is forcing you to read their blog. That is likely their way of expressing their pain and frustration about the circumstances.
Apparently, your mother never taught you the important lesson: “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. Karma will eventually pay you a visit. I’m sure of it.
- Solitary Mama
  
  So then what happens to people who sit on blogs all day to say not so nice things? I don’t believe in karma.
Debbie

Your life must really suck for you to attack Mommy Bloggers! LMAO
I am a Mom and a Grandmother but I don’t blog about my kids yet I see nothing wrong with it.

Most of the bloggers I know make pretty good money and do nothing for free…
- Solitary Mama
  
  But yet you stopped by to read it…
  - Debbie
    
    I stopped by to read it because I didn’t want to believe it when someone told me that some blogger had the audacity to trash other bloggers. I thought most bloggers were nice people but you certainly proved me wrong.
    There’s no link to my blog because I don’t want people like you going to my blog and leaving comments just for meanness.
    - Solitary Mama
      
      That’s phoney then. And who told you bloggers are nice people. That’s a bit general don’t you think? I tell the truth. Sometimes not everyone likes that. Sometimes they do.
http://www.howmanyfrogs.com/ Stephanie

I hate mommy bloggers because they are an exclusive clique that don’t let any of us that don’t have crotch fruit in. BOO!
- http://www.whatutalkingboutwillis.info Becky Willis
  
  Honestly? I don’t think you really care to be one of the “mommy bloggers”, your site is its own and I enjoyed stopping by, but since I am a Mom & a blogger we probably wouldn’t get a long since you have already grouped us altogether in one ‘hate group’… And on a side note-2 of my 3 children who are 15 and older were by c-section-so they would be in your terms stomach fruit I guess. With that I hold nothing against you because you do not have children.
- http://www.yankeetexanmom.com Cyndy L
  
  Stephanie, I am truly sorry if that’s been your experience. I network with several women and men who blog who are not parents. It’s a shame if there are those who require that you have children to network with you.
Mindy

Hello Stephanie,

Your last comment is absolutely untrue! I am not a mother, but I am in a lot of groups with a whole lot of “Mommy Bloggers”. They have never excluded me from anything, and have never been negative to me because I do not have children. In fact, they have been nothing but kind and welcoming towards me, and have helped me with a great deal of things, even when their plates are already full. They will take the time to stop and help anybody out, whether they are a mother or not. These women work their butts off and provide excellent content for their readers. I’d like to share one such article with you that may give you a little more insight into the world of the “Mommy Bloggers” you hate so much. Please read the post at http://www.mamamoneytree.com/2011/10/31/hug-a-blogger-today/. Thank you, and I hope that you will someday realize that these are real women with real feelings, and there is no reason to hate on them.

I won’t blanketly avoid ‘mommy blogs’ seeing as there are some that are rather well written and entertaining, but I find the weird cliquishness and ass-grabbing in the comments sections of many I’ve seen off-putting.

I myself don’t like to be referred to as a mommy-blogger.. rather a blogger who happens to have kids and may mention them from time to time.

But yeah, I can see where you are coming from.
Dawn

I think you would be shocked to know how much some of us are making mommy/coupons/giveaway “blogging”. I cleaned up with nice $880 payment today.. seriously! The fact that I am able to home school my crotch fruit, ahem son(he is sitting right next to me at this very moment) AND I am able to pay bills.. is priceless. We’ve never spent so much time together, I’ve never felt so grateful for the opportunity! Nobody can poop on my parade!
- Bonnie W
  
  Very well said.
  Providing for my family and being able to spend unlimited amounts of time with my grandchildren is priceless. I guess you could label me a Grandmother Blogger. Whom earns a better living that I ever did working 5 days a week 12 hours a day.
- Solitary Mama
  
  No one making the big money on coupons has left their blog links. I think that’s odd and hard to believe.
http://www.blazeandcrochet.com Shana Putnam

Yeah it is really sad when my son’s ENTIRE Christmas last year was free. Yes I said free. And not one single piece was junk. The entire line of Toy Story Action LInks, all of the new Mega Bloks products, organic clothing and much more. So sad I didn’t make cash…not. I never write an article for less than $35 and won’t post a pre-written article for less than $25. I think maybe you should look a little harder and see that a lot of mommy bloggers are real people with real lives who choose blogging as a real job. I have made money, received free items, gotten gift cards, met friends and had a ton of fun since I started blogging. Guess what? I also post recipes, post crochet items I make and see, join in on fun memes and made one myself, and still spend time with my son, take care of my house and cook for my family. Maybe you are a single Mom because nobody could stand to put up with your bad attitude.

  Oh wow, really? Your comeback is about her single nature. Wow… just wow.
  
  Christina, you forgot one, but don’t worry I’ll add it to my post going on Dino’s blog
  - Adelina
    
    Nicole, Ms. Solitary Mama attacked those with an illness, those that are trying to give back, and those that are trying to educate their readers. Maybe if Ms. Solitary Mama had chosen her words and approach more carefully, no one would feel the need to “retaliate” and show she isn’t the perfect blogger either.
    - Solitary Mama
      
      Can you guys not read? I didn’t “attack anyone with an illness” and you can sugarcoat it all you want, whatever it is that you say you do, it is not “trying to give back or educate” anyone. I can guarantee that.
  - http://www.blazeandcrochet.com Shana Putnam
    
    Yep sure was. If you are so mean spirited as to talk badly about people who write about their disease or moms who are proud of their kids or people who are trying to help other by finding great deals for them then I am assuming that you are probably not a very compassionate person and who wants to be with someone who is so obviously perfect?
- Solitary Mama
  
  I am single purely by choice, my friend. Trust me.
- http://stuckathomemom.com/ Stuck At Home Mom
  
  @Shana Putnam, I think your link in the “recently posted” proves the point trying to be made here.
- Chopperpapa
  
  As a guy and a father that last sentence offended even me. Really?!?!? Fortunately she didn’t respond in kind obviously speaking to her class, something you and alot of ‘mommy bloggers’ here apparently need to work on. I’m sure all of your kids are so proud of you girls.
  
  It’s an opinion – you all have proven in these comments you are familiar with that notion, no? So Here’s an idea – don’t read it.
  
  Now go play with your toys and save the world one casserole recipe at a time.
  
  Oh, and try not to spend all that money in one place – you rockstar you.

If I ever (or have) become one of those, please please pleeeease let me know! lol I have to agree about the $2 posts. Seriously, it belittles the rest of us!
Nikki M.

I have 4 college degrees (2 at the Master’s level) and I used to work full time until I was laid off. I don’t write about my kids much but I am a deal/coupon and review/giveaway blogger and love every second of it. Being a mommy in itself is work and quite possibly the most difficuly job I have held to date. I thoroughly enjoy my “job” as a mommy and a blogger and you are certainly right about one thing, I do hate you too…or should I say “two”?
- Solitary Mama
  
  Thanks for stopping by, Nikki.

It’s funny to me how many of them are hiding behind no blog, no URL … If I was mad about this, I’d be posting my full name, email and blog URL because why hide?
Instead, I think its funny. I thought of another one too. So funny!
- Solitary Mama
  
  Apparently a group or just one pretending to be a group. Who knows.
  - Adelina
    
    Not hiding. Simply protecting my blog and the hard work I’ve done to bring it to wear it is today. While you have an ad on your blog for a company I’ve never even heard of, mine is filled with big name companies. Companies I choose to protect as well and I ALWAYS choose my words carefully when I write a blog post. You see, it’s sort of common sense…which you obviously lack. When your readers come to your blog, they see the ads on your page. I am wondering why Alonai not only pays you to write for them, but allows themselves to be seen on a hater blog. It’s shameful and I am embarrassed for you (and them).
    - Solitary Mama
      
      Most of you are way too defensive about this post, which makes me think you fall into one or more of the categories. This means that what you’re saying here about your wildly successful blog, is probably not true, especially considering you’ve spent the entire day here.
      
      I have work to do, hate me if you want to. Hang around and keep commenting. Tell your friends. Tell your family.
      
      I don’t care. You’re mad because I’m right.
    - http://stuckathomemom.com/ Stuck At Home Mom
      
      WOW Adelina, you’ve put a lot of effort into your ‘comment hate’
      But at least you’ve given Solitary Mama a lot of page views today, you’ve probably single handedly driven her PR up to a whole new level.
      Good Job!
http://www.viewsfromthecouch.com Queen of the Couch

I don’t know what I love more, your blog post or the whining youareabigmeanieandIamneverreadingyourblogagain comments. This is just one giant bowl of awesome.

For the record, the accusations that this blog made personal attacks would be true if she were to have named specific bloggers or pointed to specific posts on other blogs. She spoke, instead, in general terms and referred to categories of bloggers. Making admonishing remarks about her relationship status, much less discussing her children, are personal attacks. It is hypocrisy and irony all rolled into a neat little package.
- http://www.suesnutritionbuzz.com/ sunithi
  
  Just went through this whole tirade and agree with Queen of the Couch. The author is just being frank and airing her views and opinions without pointing to ANY person in particular.Is’nt that what blogging is about? To blog what you want to say without fear. Don’t see why people are taking stuff so personally and being mean and vicious in attacking the author.I have read some blog posts written by SAHM’s who run down working mammas in general with their “I would rather do this than work” and I have never taken it personally …having been a working mamma. Just saying …. don’t get personal guys !!
http://www.BeardandPigtails.com Beard

The truth hurts.

I suspect some of the ladies getting an ass-wedgie over this post toil on blogs that lack imagination and creativity. 85% of the parent blogs I flip through are limp and a bore. I don’t want to read about a My Little Pony giveaway or see poorly focused pics of nondescript offspring. Gotta give Solitary Mama the nod on this topic.

I too, find it interesting that offended moms with “good mommy blogs” are afraid to drop their URL. Put your blog where your mouth is.

It’s simple folks, if you don’t like what she has to say, don’t READ her blog. However, if you like entertaining content, then follow her.

Let me clue you, half her post refers to ME and I think she’s hilarious. I not only follow her and RT her posts. Get a grip, it’s a blog

    Product Review/Giveaway – I do a few of these. But I LOVE FREE STUFF! It’s not a job, it’s Free Stuff. Free Stuff is Good. Actually I’m in the middle of writing a review for a Chili’s card right now, and you’re my inspiration.

Do any of you think you’re actually going to change anyone’s mind by coming here to rail on Christina? If anything, you’re reinforcing her points by spending time here instead of proving her wrong by producing quality content or, you know, being parents.

Meanwhile, Christina enjoys one of the best high-traffic days for her blog. Well done.

  I know. Too bad I didn’t plan this. I’d say yours is next. You should totally piss off little people.

    There is no better way to build a blog than to piss people off.

      Certainly hadn’t planned this. Who shall we anger next? And we’re moving to your blog for the next one btw…

“HA! Okay now my head is all messed up…” Well it should be, maybe you should get some sleep!! You need to get some rest b/c obviously you are single for a reason and you’ve never posted any pictures of yourself and that’s why your single and looking!!

  There are pictures of me everywhere. I have nothing to hide in that area. Thanks for your concern though.

Wow! Just came upon this post and had to write in and say I agree with you 100%

I have been ousted several times by the mommy/mummy blog mafia, who have proven to be quite a clique bunch.

I’m not sure what the resaon could be. Is it because I refer to my Child as Spawn? Maybe it’s because I cuss. Or could it be that I have no shame in talking about my ‘Lady Garden?’ Who knows!

Great post! Wish there were more mommy bloggers like you!
- Solitary Mama
  
  It could be your Lady Garden. Idk I didn’t even mention my Lady Garden. Either way, you can hang with me. Thanks for stopping by

For the record, I did leave my name and my blog address. I wasn’t attempting to hide my identity or the address of my blog. I made comments that I truly believe were a discussion of the post. I did not attack the writer or her life. If you read my comments, I did in fact praise her writing style. I don’t agree with the post and it is my right to comment as such. I wasn’t looking for an “us vs. “them” battle as that is the tone of the post that I disagreed with to start off. However, please don’t make assumptions about how I parent my children, how I manage my blog or what you can or cannot guarantee about anything in my life. You don’t know me. If you want to know more, you could always read my blog to find out for yourself. I have 3 because I have that much to say on a variety of topics. I am educated, committed to my family, hardworking and much more than could ever be represented in this exchange. I hope that there is more to you as well.

Having read through your posts, I’ve decided that I will hang out with you. Now following.:0)

This is why I don’t blog nor do I “follow” any of them. Women are so nasty. If you are not of the same mind, you are attacked. I liked the post because sadly it is true. I’m tired of coupons and poop. I surf the net to escape from coupons and poop lol.

If this one doesn’t get you 10 marraige proposals – per month – there are no men like me in this world. You earned my Triberr karma vote for #bitchery with this – while also hitting it out of the ballpark with a most thoughtful and incisive analysis of creature known scientifically as the Blowhardius Momius Nincompoopius Sellouticus
You are #rightonthemoney, C-Maj.

I am a combination of Boring and Lame Mommy and Product Review Mommy. I write about my kids and the silly things they do and I write about products that I have tried. However, I think what’s happening here is that the people reading and commenting on this particular post are just not your intended audience. Just like I wouldn’t attempt to write a post about “how to be a better basketball player” because I am not a basketball player and have no freaking clue what it would take to be a better one.

The good news is this: you and I have very different intended audiences. That means that I don’t have to be upset you don’t like my blog since you’re not the reader demographic I’m trying to reach. Likewise, I’m not in your target demographic and you don’t have to please me.

However, I do wish you wouldn’t lump all “mommy bloggers” together and label us as women who don’t support or watch our children properly. I work full-time and bring home the bacon. I also make a decent part-time income from my Boring and Lame/Product Review blog. My children are properly cared for and much-loved. We make lots of fun memories and they are not ignored in favor of the computer. Blogging is done after bedtime or when they are not in my care. Period.

Please remember that these are people you are talking about…not blogs and not objects. We do what we do because we enjoy it, same as you. No need to ridicule us for that.

I know I’m late as hell, but I just had to weigh in… This post was awesome!! I’m sure I’ve been guilty of one or maybe all of your hated mommy blog “niches”, but the reality of it is that I don’t give a shit. lol! I write what I want to write the way I want to write it. That’s the beauty of the internet. I’m just trying to stake claim to my little corner of the net. If anyone wants to come join me… well that’s just peachy… if not.. it is what it is.

The people that took offense to this post take themselves way too seriously. Go on ’bout your business.

Wow! It’s like a bunch of women in their second trimester jockeying for the buy two get one free diaper sale at Walmart, all having to pee but not wanting to lose their place in line.

  Yeah, it was kind of funny for a second. But only a second.

It’s true that alot of mommy bloggers are like that but I met this one mom blogger who is just super amazing, and she isn’t anything like you portrayed mommy bloggers to be: http://splendidmusings.com/
