Comments on: “Don’t Blog this Mom, but…” http://emomsathome.com/blog/2006/11/02/dont-blog-this-mom-but/ For Moms Who Mean BusinessFri, 10 Nov 2006 14:29:17 +0000http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2by: Stephanie http://emomsathome.com/blog/2006/11/02/dont-blog-this-mom-but/#comment-2865 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 19:07:31 +0000http://emomsathome.com/blog/2006/11/02/dont-blog-this-mom-but/#comment-2865My 4 year old is very curious about what I do, so I have a small site about her that she can work on with me. Nothing too personal about her, just stuff like links to her favorite websites. We might put her Christmas wish list there as an easy place for grandparents to look up what she wants. My daughter is convinced that part of being a Mommy is to work on the computer. She talks about "when I grow up to be a Mommy and work on the computer". My husband reads my site a little bit, as does my mother. My mother's boyfriend subscribes to my newsletter, as I found out when I was having trouble with it sending incorrectly and he asked me what was up.My 4 year old is very curious about what I do, so I have a small site about her that she can work on with me.

My kids are young enough to not really get it, except that my cartoons are on the Web, and that I try to talk other parents into quitting their jobs (their interpretation, but fairly accurate :)) My 6 year old became more aware after I wrote a post about how much I learned from her class at career day. Some of the other parents read it and so the kids talked about it some. Other than that, they're a little indifferent.My wife was actually my second subscriber, after me, and reads (or at least skims) it every day.

My kids are actually more interested in them than he is. My 10 year old son is supposed to help me write for one of my blogs (Video Game Tips for Tweens) but usually just scratches a few notes on paper and hands them to me. My 8 year keeps asking if she can have her own blog and I may let her in another few years. Now, I doubt any of them actually read a thing I write. We have had quite a few funny technology stories around here over the years - probably because this family is so tech-saturated it isn't even funny (and some of it is).My kids and my husband know about my blogs.

And I loved your response as well - LOL - yes, at least if we're going to exploit our kids, I'd hope we would angle to get more than a popular blog post out of the deal (KIDDING!!!) ;)Hey Busy Mom,

My husband knows, but, does not read. Busy Girl knows it exists, but, doesn't really know much about it and has been told that it is not for kids. When I write about my children, it is in terms of how I experience and perceive them. I would not write something about them for the sake of embarassment and I wouldn't write something that I would consider private. The point of the costume post was that I found myself at the point where I had to deal with this topic and how it is getting out of hand in general.Very few people in “real life” know about my blog.
