If you’ve ever dreamed of starting a blog, but felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or just plain “too busy,” you’re not alone.
Here’s the truth: most mom bloggers give up in the first 3–6 months. And it’s not because they’re lazy or not motivated. It’s because blogging advice often doesn’t fit real mom life.
Let’s break down why it happens — and how you can be the mom who keeps going.
1️⃣ They Expect Overnight Success
It’s easy to scroll through Pinterest or TikTok and see bloggers making it look effortless.
“I started my blog last month and already made $500!”
But real life isn’t a highlight reel. Blogging takes time — sometimes weeks, sometimes months — before you see results.
The fix: focus on progress, not perfection. One small blog post, one social media post, or one email to your list is progress. Celebrate it.
2️⃣ They Don’t Have a Realistic Plan
Blogging advice can feel like a checklist from another planet:
- Post every day
- Learn SEO
- Design a beautiful logo
- Build a sales funnel
And mom life? It rarely allows for all that at once.
The fix: keep it simple. Focus on three things only when starting:
- Writing helpful content for your readers
- Learning one new thing at a time
- Posting consistently — even if it’s just once a week
Tiny, realistic steps beat “perfect but never finished” every time.
3️⃣ They Compare Themselves to Others
It’s tempting to compare your messy, interrupted blogging life with someone else’s polished Instagram feed.
The fix: remember you’re not competing with anyone. Your blog is YOUR space, YOUR journey, YOUR voice. Focus on what you can do in the time you actually have.
4️⃣ They Forget Why They Started
When blogging becomes just another “task,” motivation fades. You need a why that matters.
Maybe it’s:
- Creating a side income for your family
- Sharing your parenting journey
- Helping other moms feel less alone
Write it down. Post it somewhere you see it every day. It will keep you going when the going gets tough.
The Mom Blogger Mindset That Wins
The truth is, most mom bloggers give up not because blogging is hard, but because they try to do it in a way that doesn’t fit real life.
You can keep going by:
- Starting small
- Being consistent, not perfect
- Focusing on progress, not speed
- Remembering your “why”
