The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Do your family members/significant others read your blog?
I used to password-protect my blogs to make sure that parents and other family members didn't read - I loved my privacy! But, as I've gotten "older" (ahemahem) I've realized I don't really have much to hide, so I let it "all hang out".
Does your family have access to your blog?
What about boyfriends/girlfriends? Do they read your posts?

When I had a girlfriend, she did read it. I think mostly to humor me.
I think my parents could care less, but I maintain a music blog so I doubt I have too much to hide.

My family doesn't read my blog (at least, I hope they don't), but the boyfriend does. I think he does it to humor me as well. :-p

My family knows I have a blog and my brother is completely computer-savvy, so he's found it. But none of them really care enough to read it.
My boyfriend found out about it last fall, but I don't think he reads regularly.

My family definitely has full access to the blog.
PRO: I honestly feel like my blog and my sisters has connected my family in a new way. My cousins and a couple aunts/uncles comment all the time and I feel way more connected to them than I did before.
CON: I find myself editing or watering down some of the things I would say or topics all together.
My resolution (at least in my head) was that I would take some self-censorship for a more connected family. But...sometimes the thought of starting a non-family blog crosses my mind. But then I remember if they didn't read it who would? :)

I started the blog to have a place where I could pour my honest thoughts and emotions in addition to having a record of my life and all my hijinks. I keep it an "anonymous blog" because I a) am a middle school teacher and am blogging about not so middle school appropriate things, and b) my parents are slightly old fashioned and protective. Somehow, I think that them reading my blog would just start problems. For example, I recently had a pregnancy scare that I blogged about on my blog. Though I love with my parents, I didnt tell them about my worries because I just didn't want to worry them. Having them read my blog would have just caused issues.
I get alot of comments on my blog about how my readers appreciate how raw and honest I am. I think my blog would lose alot of its magic if I were to have to censor myself because family or coworkers were reading it. Some of my "real life" friends do know about it and read it, but they are friends that I do not see all the time, and those that i trust with my life.

Although I keep an anonymous blog, I've given the link out on my personal twitter, so my family and friends do read it. I constantly question the decision I've made, because the premise of my blog can make the arrangement awkward: my basic premise is to do something totally out of character every single day, and some of the things I'm doing -- well, my parents might say they're out-of-character for a reason!
Most awkwardly, my very recent ex read and comments on my blog religiously, even with the understanding that a big part of my project might eventually include meeting (and mentioning!) other men. Hopefully this will end well...

I don't want them to.. yet. I was hoping once I get a little more activity within my blogosphere THEN I would tell them that I have an online history of everything great-horrible-exciting-embarrassing thing about my life, experiences, family, significant others and friends.
That way -- they'll understand -- or not. Heh.

I think if I date a guy I wouldnt want him to read my blog, uf he finds out through googling it then I would be so pissed and probably dump him. Hahahaha.
Sadly my current BF reads it but if I'm single again then have bf again, there's no way he can read it. Same thing gies for family members : my blogs are off limits for them.
