My blog

AfterAll

I have not posted in days.  It's not for a lack of things to say, believe me.

It is because my mother comments on EVERY. SINGLE. POST.  I wish I had never given her the address.  Sometimes I just want to write something and be done with it.  Not discuss it further in a phone call, im, or email.

We are not that close, physically, or emotionally, for so many reasons, and she feels that reading my blog makes us closer.

I know that the nature of a blog is that we are "watched" by our readers... but knowing she will comment is stifling my outlet, my creativity, and my ability to write.

My DH gave my blog link to his sisters, which impacts what I write about. If my mom had it there is no way that I would ever post. Sorry.

I have the same problem.  I slipped and told my mom that I had a blog and she searched for it and found it...not really sure how. All i know is a day later she was one of my followers.  I really didn't see a big deal until last night.  I was having a bad night and wanted to write something but couldn't because I knew she would read it and then either want to talk about it or give me advice or think negatively about the person I was talking about... so I just held it in, and it kinda made me mad that I had to do that

I completely understand how you feel, and it sucks.  But that is what we are here for :-)  To vent, get advice, etc.

If you think that is bad... my 84 year old Grandmother who I haven't spoken to in almost 3 years just commented on my blog... (my mother obviously gave her the link).. and signed it "Great Grandma".  Barf.
