- From the page: "I think thereâ€s a subtle contradiction in the term â€oemommy blogger.” In a career context, the words â€oemom,” â€oemother,” and â€oemommy” traditionally have had an almost apologetic element to them, or have served as qualifiers. A â€oeworking mom” was someone who balanced career and family life. An underlying implication is that this involved tradeoffs, or sacrifices, in the quality of both family life and career. The term â€oestay at home mom,” came into use as a way of saying â€oeI donâ€t work for a company, but I do an equally or more important job than my husband.”
â€oeI think mommy blogger can be demeaning because you donâ€t see the word daddy blogger being bandied about,” freelance journalist Kimber Schmahl, who does not consider herself a mommy blogger told me. â€oeI certainly donâ€t feel my blog is any less worthwhile because I am a mother.”"
