Okay so I have a confession to make. I haven't told my family and friends that I have a blog. The only one that knows that I have a blog is hubby. But unfortunately hubby has a big mouth and tells everyone. I think it's a mixture of he's excited about the fact that I have a blog, he wants other people to know about it, and he just can't keep secrets at all, ever.....
I think the reason that I like my family and friends not knowing that I have a blog is I don't have to watch what I say and make sure I'm guarded with what I put on here. I'm more myself, which I guess I shouldn't have to be like that but I am.
And it's so frustrating when I find out that he's told yet another person, I almost wish I hadn't told him about it!!!! ugh!!!
Does anyone else out there keep their blog a secret from their friends and family??? Am I wrong for wanting to keep it private from them??? Just wondering.....
a VERY select few of my friends know i blog. none of my family does. i want my blog to be ME. i dont want to have to watch what i say.
ReplyDeletenothing wrong with it at all! i sometimes wish mine was so i could vent! haha :o)
ReplyDeleteNope, you're definitely not the only one! My mom, sister, and friend are sworn to secrecy! It's just sort of weird for others to know, I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteI wish I HAD kept mine from my family. Now there is alot of things that I can not say due to the fact that my sis/mom/grandma/aunt/uncles all read it.
ReplyDeleteMy family knows about my blog but I don't think they read it. I don't really censor what I think, if I offend someone then they don't have to read it. It's "my" blog and I say what I want. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you at all, I like to keep mine quiet too. I feel like if I tell everyone I will eventually be forced to censor some of the things I say and I really don't want that!
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one! Only one friend of mine knows of my blog and she doesn't even read it (only b/c she is super busy!). My fiance knows but doesn't look at it either. I don't think I will tell my family after the wedding is all said and done either. I like having my bloggy friends all to myself and like you said, I don't have to censor myself.
ReplyDeletei dont like telling anyone either.. i like having my own little private nook in this fun little world in here.
ReplyDeletei recently told my two good friends but they had to promise they wouldnt tell anyone else that knew me.. lol.
I have not told any of my family about my blog. Several of friends are aware, but they have blogs themselves.
ReplyDeleteno one knows about my blog either...I don't really guard what I say, even though I haven't really said anything that would upset anyone. I like to be able to use my blog as an outlet to get out how I feel or if I have to vent and not worry about people I know reading it :)
ReplyDeleteNothing is wrong with keeping your blog to yourself! My family nor friends know about my blog. I hope to keep it that way. It's my own little world where I can say whatever I want. I might share it with people one day, but not anytime soon!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of a few people having two. One for them to rant and rave to blog friends on and another for friends and family to see. Might think about that...
Totally not the only one! Two of my housemates know that I have one and I totally wish that sometimes they didn't and I could completely have my own little space (and to vent too haha_
ReplyDeleteI knew how you felt..Ken told others about my blog.I was so angry with him..
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I hadn't told everyone that I had a blog. There are certain stories I would like to write about, but can't because I don't want to step on anyone's toes. At the same time, though I feel that blogging has become such a big part of my life that there would be no way to not tell them.
ReplyDeleteI think it's normal. I have a blog for all of you that no one who personally knows me knows about. Then I also have a family focused one that they know about and all of you don't. They serve different purposes :)
ReplyDeleteyou are def no the only one. my family and friends do not know about my blog. and i like it that way!
ReplyDeleteno you're not the only one.
ReplyDeletemy mom, sis, one of my besties and my fiance know about mine but they have no idea what it's all about and none of them read it. i don't plan to tell any of my other friends. i don't think i write anything bad and i wouldn't mind if people in my life read it but i don't go around telling people i have a blog. my mom and my sister were like why and what do you write on there. the best way i could explain it was it's like a daily journal with lots of new "friends" ;)
Nope, no one I know in real life knows about mine. I do what Kelly does and I have this one for all of you and then my family blog that is basically so my parents can see pictures of me and what I'm doing. Except that I haven't updated in a few months because I just can't keep up with two blogs and it's more fun to be part of this blog world because everyone here leaves better comments than my parents!
ReplyDeleteNope I am just like you... the only person who knows about my blog is my hubby. And I did swear him to secrecy before I told him so that he would not tell other people. I like this being my own little world!
ReplyDeletei dont think its bad to keep it private. sometimes a blog is a good way to vent!
ReplyDeleteMy whole family knows about my blog, and sometimes, I wish they didn't. Like the fact that my inlaws are here for 5 weeks. 5 FREAKIN WEEKS! I totally wish I could bitch about it (just a little bit!) but I can't. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it private!
Nothing wrong! The only person who knows about my blog is my husband as well. I find it a place to let out my personal thoughts and not have to worry about people judging me. Your blog is wonderful, by the way.
ReplyDeleteTotally understandable. Sometimes we keep the most from the people who should be the most understanding, our families. Strange, I know.
ReplyDeleteno one knows about my blog! Hubby knows but does not know where it is because of the fear that he will tell people.
ReplyDeleteIt is outlet for my feelings, thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement from people I know! So do not worry because that
My mom actually found my blog and asked if it would be ok if she read it. I have a few friends that know about it, but most people don't
ReplyDeleteI have a secret blog that only 2 of my friends know about, and my husband does not! However, a couple of people have inadvertantly stumbled upon it, and I am going to have to reveal the blog to my husband soon! What to do!?!
ReplyDeleteI'd told my friends I had a blog, and none of them said they would/did come check it out (they never left a comment to let me know they'd stopped by), so I assumed they weren't reading it until I found out a friend reads it all the time. o_O Good to know! I think it's better when friends/family don't read your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I sent you an email. I hope it didn't go to spam!
