Haha – Nah, Rebecca. I know you’re one of the last “mommy bloggers” who would sell out solely due to the lure of “stuff.”

Thanks for your thoughts Anastasia. No point in checking back here in the future though. NakedPR was officially retired a while back. Most of my writing related to blogging and other types of social media can now be found at http://www.SocialImplications.com.

What an interesting topic to post about. I am a student in PR and also do some tweeting and social media for my job and I have come into contact with a variety of Mommy Bloggers.

I have had mixed experiences with these bloggers as they are so influential in the “family type” market but I do agree as them coming off sort of entitled. However, I agree with Rena that “Mommy Bloggers” do not represent all women, nor do they represent every mom that blogs.

However, thanks for your honest opinion and insights. I’ll be checking back in the future.

1. Nobody said mommy bloggers represent all women. No one even said the bad ones represent all mommy bloggers.

2. When a group of people behave badly on a mass scale, they make a bad name for everyone else in the industry (in this case demeaning the value bloggers can provide to companies, as well as creating trust issues between readers and “bought” bloggers). That’s absolutely “worth the time to get worked up about” for any serious blogger or company using a blog as a communication tool where that trust is key.

John, no one said there is anything “wrong with mommy blogging.” What this post says is that there’s something “wrong” with mommy bloggers who act like spoiled little brats. Whether or not it’s hard to make a living is completely irrelevant. Blogging IS a hard way to make a living (coming from someone who does). Most people can’t do it. That information is readily available before anyone starts blogging with that intention. If they didn’t do their research, it’s their own damn fault, and it doesn’t justify their behavior when they decide to act badly towards groups or entire industries. A lot of mommy bloggers out there (although not all), just need to grow the hell up. Problem solved.
