S/O mentioning TB

I noticed that even though a lot of us talk about it, we don't mention it by name.  I know I don't because I don't want someone I know IRL coming on and ruining the fun for me.  I couldn't vent the way I want to if that happened.  My sil is on the nest, and I know what board she frequents, and she knows where I frequent here, but I hope she never comes and looks lol.  Other than her, no one other than DH knows the specific place I go and I like it that way.  The anonymity of it is part of the appeal.  Anyone else with me there?

    I really dont want people to find me. If you found out who I was, I wouldnt care. But if people I know IRL find me, I couldnt vent in peace. I would also have to watch my mouth about ILs.

    Even though I do not post anything too personal, I would not want anyone I know to know I was here.  There are about 8 women on our immediate family who have kids around my DS age.  I am not sure if they are on the bump so I never mention this board.  :)

    I don't mention it by name for that reason as well.  Even DH only knows the name because I leave it up sometimes and it's one of the favorites on the history.

    No one IRL knows I'm on this board except for my husband and I wouldn't care if he came on here to check on me, although he never would.  He is not a nosy person at all.  

    To me this board is like a close friend (sadly) in some ways.  I need a place to not only ask mommy questions but also vent from time to time... privately.  The only person I could think of that would find me on here is my SIL or maybe one of my good friends, both of whom are SAHMs.   That being said, I'm getting more cautious about what I share on here... I think I have over-shared in the past on family/friend specifics so I need to watch it.

    DH and my mom know it by name.  I don't think either of them would ever come here looking for my posts.

    With my friends, I just mention it in passing.  I call it a mommy board or some such.  Most of the moms I know seem like they wouldn't be into it, at least they've never asked to know more about it.

    I do like feeling "anonymous," although I've never said anything on here that I wouldn't want anyone I know to know.  My life is pretty much an open book -- sometimes I wonder if I'm too confessional with my friends.

    No one in IRL knows I'm on here, besides my H.  I like that if I choose to share something or ask something I can remain anonymous.  Which makes it easier for me, I'm not comfortable talking to people about anything private.
