My daughter is convinced that part of being a Mommy is to work on the computer. She talks about “when I grow up to be a Mommy and work on the computer”.

My husband reads my site a little bit, as does my mother. My mother’s boyfriend subscribes to my newsletter, as I found out when I was having trouble with it sending incorrectly and he asked me what was up.

My 6 year old became more aware after I wrote a post about how much I learned from her class at career day. Some of the other parents read it and so the kids talked about it some. Other than that, they’re a little indifferent.

We have had quite a few funny technology stories around here over the years – probably because this family is so tech-saturated it isn’t even funny (and some of it is).

To repeat what I said in my email to you, the intention of your post was obvious to me, and your readers as well – that our kids present us with things we never had to deal with when we were kids – which is the real intention of why I linked to you in my post.

And I loved your response as well – LOL – yes, at least if we’re going to exploit our kids, I’d hope we would angle to get more than a popular blog post out of the deal (KIDDING!!!)

When I write about my children, it is in terms of how I experience and perceive them. I would not write something about them for the sake of embarassment and I wouldn’t write something that I would consider private.

The point of the costume post was that I found myself at the point where I had to deal with this topic and how it is getting out of hand in general.
