Then change your user name so if she googles it from an outside pc, she can't find it. Lemon squeezy. Of course she can get around this, but for a few years i think you're good.

I struggle with this too - even though E is only 3 :-) I wouldn't want any of my family to read my blog (except my husband) because that way i can be brutally honest with myself and what i want to say. But if they ever do read it - I know I would stand by what ever i have written - that's just who I am and I wrote what I felt. I know you're honest with yourself when you write, and I think if your kids are old enough to read your blog - then they are old enough to understand that grown ups sometimes need a place to vent out what they feel - it doesn't necessarily reflect on how you feel about *them*. Gosh, hugs. I hope everything works out. I'll still be a loyal reader btw. tell your kids I think they have a wonderfully sensitive mom. Priya. I’m glad you brought this up.

But glad you made a decision. Though the brat is only 5 now, it will be no time when he starts reading it. He actually knows that I write a blog about him and baby. It also helps if you know the purpose of your blog. For example, mine is for reminiscing for after the kids fly away from their nest. So I try to write the positive things so that I forget the things that would upset me even after so many years. May be you should decide on the focus of your blog from now on or move select posts to another blog so that you can keep this one for ranting and being yourself. Whatever decision you make will be a sensible one, so don't fret too much. Tough choice… But glad you made a decision.

To make your blog unplottable: Dashboard>Settings>Privacy>Blog Visibility>middle option (block search engines, but allow normal visitors). Every few weeks someone lands up at my blog by searching for my uncle's name. (Same surname.) It's only a matter of time before my dad finds it too. I figured I'll just keep writing normally until then, and worry about it when it happens. Perhaps they already know! Hehe thanks!
