I have been thinking of this for a while and would like some opinions on how to handle it...
All my family knows about our IF struggles and even though we have been up front with them I have never shared my blog with any of them, not even my Mom or DH. Only three family members know it exists (DH, my Mom and my Aunt) but never asked to read it or ask about it. This has always been my place to be FREE with my words and feeling without getting opinions from people who did not understand where I am coming from (LOVE YOU ALL) So here is the issue, I would LOVE to start a blog about my two little girls, coming from their point of view and with more pictures of them etc. More as a keepsake for them rather then for my family... however if I start this blog I would invite family to keep up with it, because let's face it you guys do not want to read everyday about my children and all the cute little things they do.
So I think I have two options...
1) keep this BLOG just for me... to be able to vent and share my feeling and some cute things my girls have done, and keep using it as my personally diary and start another blog for the girls, under a different account (so none of my family can find it easily) and allow my family to know about the blog for the girls...
OR
2) Change this blog into the girls blog once the baby arrive and try to let go of keeping this as MY blog and either not allow family to read it (b/c lets face it I have vented about family members and friends in this many times) or bite the bullet and let them see how far we have come and the details of what we went through...

I vote to keep this blog just for you and create a separate one to share with family. You never know what may come and if you will need this as a place to share your private thoughts without worrying what your family may be thinking. My 1 sister (who I did share my blog with) gave my other sister (who I did not want to share it with) my blog address and it's always in my head that she's reading my innermost thoughts. It makes me censor my words at times.
i vote keep this blog for you too. it's a nice place to vent and be free and have your own space, especially when you're going to be busier than ever :)
I've actually thought about this pertaining to my own blog when we finally have kids one day. In my mind, I kinda settled on keeping my blog private for me to use and making a separate family one. There will always be certain situations no one but us IFers can understand and I know I'll want my blog for those times. Plus, I love all of you too much to lose touch! So, long story short, I recommend you keep your blog for you and make a new one for the girls ;)
That's a tough one. How would you cope without a space to write your own feelings down? I know I use my blog as my space to vent and wouldn't be happy to let my family see it.
I fifth it! It's always good to have a place to vent and say things that you don't want the inlaws, DH to hear.
I have a "family" one that lets the grandparents see pics, post videos, blah blah blah. It works well.ICLW
