This saddens me in part. My kids know I write a blog. It all gets muddled up at times, what I can write, what I shouldn't, and yet be honest with writing. Troubling.

I will not post anything that I feel would embarrass them (too much) down the line and even when it's a hilarious photo of the older 2, which is rare (like my middle schooler in his sister's Cinderella outfit) I get their permission.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping this will avoid any future therapy bills. :)carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038972194323564240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-21524218382518372512009-01-05T20:46:00.000-06:002009-01-05T20:46:00.000-06:00i really try to not have the blog up when MQ is ar...i really try to not have the blog up when MQ is around, although I don't think she knows what a blog is... even still.painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-5217548593783131162009-01-05T04:03:00.000-06:002009-01-05T04:03:00.000-06:00I remember when Sophie discovered her blog!

Also, I am concerned he will read it himself and be very angry. When he is older, he will understand but I don't expect that to be the case until he's like, 25, or something.<BR/><BR/>How do we balance telling our lives & sharing useful information (as my son is the one w/ special needs), with protecting privacy?
