You can tell by my name I am very much anonymous. Have given much thought to crossing the line and in the end will stay this way...for at least now. I really enjoy the security of doing it this way. .-= Weekend CowgirlÂ´s last blog ..Cowboy the Goat, Not the Hubby =-.

I left a comment there and will put another one here. I completely agree that you should never open your child up for discrimination. I put a LOT of medical info about my child on my blog, but he also wears his disability on his sleeve. Things that people don’t need to know–I don’t put up there. We’re ordering his first wheelchair–so I feel OK sharing these things. There are details that I choose not to share–because they don’t change the story, but they might change the way people see him. It’s a fine line and I’m sure I mess it up sometimes, but I do TRY–even a blogger like me who is sharing so much personal info.

Hmmm. Darcy, once again, you’ve given us a lot of food for thought.

Lucky for us, your food is never indigestible. Thank you!

This is very thought provoking. I do not write under a pseudonym and while I haven’t used my kids names for a long time, I think I have some old posts where I was less cautious. I have things inside me I have wanted to write about but I hesitate because my family comes first and there are some things you just don’t say when you have a blog associated with your real name. Although I think at least when you blog under your own name you’re more likely to be cautious than the anonymous blogger who is unexpectedly caught out. It’s scary no matter which way you choose to go, but I’d hate to lose the beautiful sharing that is what draws me to blogging.

Darcy ,

I am one of those fearful, anonymous types. Unfortunately i have witnessed some very cruel incidents. In one case, my ex-bloggy friend almost lost her chance to adopt her son as some evil person reported her blog to adoption agency.
I agree that there might be just one or two such individuals for say a small blogger like me but that is enough for me to be extremely cautious about this whole privacy thing henceforth.
Even after starting this blog with pen name last year, i have still done few mistakes at the initial time of setting it up.
I hope they do not come to bite me one day.
Considering that i am Indian and an immigrant, i feel people are more likely to create more damage for me than some one local, if they do not like me or i set them off in a wrong way.
As you can see, i am a very fearful person. In spite of this, as a blogger i am who write about every thing quite boldly and i want to keep it that way.
This fearfulness has costed me some great opportunity.At one acrostic writing place, i had won once last year, so i was among select few who were invited to write in an anthology which would be published.They unfortunately wanted real names. so i just backed off.
I asked my husband and he also did not want me to share my name. So fear has its price but hopefully i will be proud of this in years to come!

This is such an interesting discussion considering that I have not entered the baby arena, yet. I appreciate the fact that you have made healthy boundaries for your family. One of the things that I find so interesting about blogging is the gamut of ethical, aesthetic, giftedness, etc., etc., that exists in this field. I feel like you do, some things do not belong out there. I appreciate your decision. It gives everyone a lot to think about. .-= TracyÂ´s last blog ..Hard Times Bring Broad Places =-.

Perfect. I am pretty darn sure this new way of blogging will inspire a whole new crop of moms who need to hear these words. Keep being you

“And let the people say, Amen.” ;o)

I think the changes that are happening with my blog have been a while in coming and are being made out of respect and love for my family. They will still be a part of my blog (how can they not be since they’re so important to me!) but I think I’m leaning towards taking a more creative bent. I was in A State over what to do and it meant so much to me that you were brave enough to share your feelings/decision.

You. Are. A. Good. Mom.
