I love your ...I understand what you're saying. I love your blog--as you know I left Facebook almost a year ago--as a way to keep up with you, your thoughts, and your family. Perhaps the answer is to be general about others. Post those things about the kids that are general knowledge, so to speak, and be sharing about yourself. Then you're only invading your own privacy. One thing I didn't like about FB was too many details that either were too mundane--did I really want to spend my time only to find out that a friend bought a new shade of nail polish? Or items were shared that I couldn't help but wonder if they really should have been shared and might they not regret that later? Back in my day, when dirt was new, the advice was that anything you wrote to another should be read over the next day before sending. It saved me some embarrassment I must say. Today everything is instant and the regrets come too late.<br /> Your blog shares your thoughts about topics--adoptions, parenting, home-schooling and that's interesting. It makes me think and gives me pause. Keep your examples to those things about your family that are observable to others and you probably won't betray your kids trust. My thoughts, anyway:) By the way, we sat in a very neat old bar on Maui on a very rainy day and drank a toast to your dad. You know how close I carry him in my heart.
