The first time my stepdaughter ever commented on my blog, my mind immediately screeched a halt and went “ABORT! ABORT! CHILD READS THIS BLOG! REMOVE ALL MENTIONS OF HER FATHER TALKING ABOUT BOOBS”
After carefully reviewing past content and assuring myself there was nothing on her that would be too damaging to her tweenager eyes (or, you know, my career, while we’re at it), I sat back and smiled because, actually, I really like the idea of her getting to know me in whatever way she can, getting a view to what I’m doing and who I am when I’m not being her stepmom.
This is one reason I REALLY like being friends with her on Facebook; I get to see her interacting with her friends, see her random thoughts through the day, and really get a view into little things I’d likely miss otherwise. And that is all well and good, but one side benefit I hadn’t thought too much about was the potential to embaress her greatly, and, dude, it is awesome. Check out her comment on one her dad’s status update from this past weekend:
Hi Sammy. We luv u too. I’m glad you can see all we post, and I’m sure you won’t be scarred for like, your WHOLE life. Most likely, anyway.
