You’re setting a good example. I can relate to this. I have felt the same way; the need for an outlet, but the satisfaction of not venting too much negativity. Maybe it keeps us thinking positively, too. Great post.
Great post, Heather. Since I started a new blog, there have been several mommy bloggers talk about boundaries and what kinds of things are off limits. All good ideas… now to choose MINE!?!? *whine, whine, whine* I wonder if I can get someone else to do that for me?
My blog is the same way - I originally started it as a way for our far away friends and family to keep updated with us and our kids since we had recently moved away. Pretty much our whole families read my blog and lots of our friends, and there have been SO many times I just want to complain about my crazy MIL and our nutjob cousins, but I can’t - and that is a good thing in the end. Thanks for putting it into perspective.
I with you girl! It’s a good thing that our families/friends/fellow baseball moms/school moms, etc. read our blogs. It makes us bite our tongues…….which occasionally hurts, but it’s necessary, right? Great post, as always!!
are they boundaries? or are we people-pleasin’ wimps? Cause I feel like a people-pleasin’ wimp when I read my blog lately. Kinda pathetic — I DO read my own blahwg. I need some new hobbies.
