I just saw that she found this on twitter.....yeah, she is going to read it no matter what she says. At least, I know that I would if it were my parents. I would get a nanny program and block the site. Or tell her it is all lies to get more hits.

ps I have been reading you for about a year now (found you through a comment on blurbomat) and would be sad if you quit now!

So what exactly do you feel needs hiding in here from your own kids?

I can only imagine good coming from it, in terms of discussions prompted and such. Sure, some of those discussions would (and should) include boundaries, largely centering around their own embarrassment issues.

Beyond that, what's the big deal?

I'm very confused.

I had a whole comment typed out then couldn't do anything with it...

I've read a lot of your old stuff and while it was very intense and interesting, I'm sure your kids don't want to see it. Maybe when they're older.

But don't quit being "Pete Dunn" just because you've been outed!!! You're too much fun to read!

:)

I know how you feel. I was recently found online by my neighbours(that's Canadian for 'neighbors'), who I wrote about often. They even had their own category. I never thought that they would read it since they didn't even know my last name or anything about me. I maintained their anonymity of course. However, THEY knew who I was writing about. This lead to a rather awkward conversation/apology. I then proceeded to delete every mention of them.

Sometimes the delete button is your friend.

Personally, her getting some online commentary from you is probably better than the indecent spam mails she receives on MySpace or the some of the other crap circulating the internet.

hey there,

not entirely sure how i wound up here, but i'm glad i did nonetheless. and this post is a complete and utter wakeup call. i've been blogging about my kids (and anything else that the wind blows in) since 2002, which means most of my DD's life - and all of my DS's life - is live and uncut online, so to speak. i try not to say things that will make them cringe, but who am i kidding: when they're teens, simply breathing the same air that i do will make them cringe.

so let me just tell you that: a) you're a hoot, and b) i think i am going to go and have a nervous breakdown now. IRL ;-)

When I found your site, I moved around and read quite a bit, and nothing THAT bad really popped out at me, but I'm sure I didn't read everything.

(And, sorry for the comment SPAM- I'm catching up after having not visited for a while...)
