It helps people whether it makes them laugh, cry or develop a new-found understanding of what life is like for you. I've been on this journey myself, as you can imagine. About 2 years ago, I asked my children whether they minded. I assured them that I would never blog about periods, boyfriends or anything that we would deem private. And that stands. I always question before I press 'publish' is this fair on my children? Will they be embarrassed if a friend reads it? Will they hate me in later life?! I hope they will always feel able to be honest with me about that. They say they don't read it but I hope one day, they will. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610843552921892203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157102346181331296.post-72340794446743491192015-08-26T20:51:51.571+01:002015-08-26T20:51:51.571+01:00Keep posting Alison, you write brilliantly and I l...Keep posting Alison, you write brilliantly and I love reading about Mr spaghetti legs.
