to make it private?

[BoobyMcLeaky]

My DH is away with work for the next few months. While he is away I have set up a blog for our DD which I update daily for him with pics and little stories about what she has been doing. She has another blog which I do for our family (we live quite far away from them), but that one is not updated as much and I only put things on there that DH already knows, so he finds out first what is going on with his DD. Anyway, I didn't realise that you can see all the blogs that I do from the family blog (a bit thick of me I know) and my mum has been reading DH's blog. It's not a big deal really, I just wanted him to be able to know first everything that she is doing, and also my mum is a nosey bitch and rings me up to question me on everything that is in the blog. For instance the other day I put up that we'd made a surprise for DH but we weren't telling and he'd find out later, so my mum rings and says "what's this surprise you've done", or if I put that we've had a jim jam day she'll ring and have a go at me about it and just generally criticise me.

So, I've made DH's blog private, so she (well not just her, nobody) can see it but him, and now she's upset at me. But she wouldn't have not read it if I'd asked her not to, and I do still tell her what's going on with DD. I just let her dad find out first.

So, AIBU?

You are not being unreasonable.. just say you didnt realise it was public, and you want to put personal stuff on there, which you feel should be private between yourself and your husband.

No you are not being unreasonable. It should be private.

Tell her it is just between you your DD and your husband and that is all it was ever intended for.

YANBU she will have to wait, won't she and if she doesn't like it tough!
Also if she is only going to phone to critise then it's her own fault, it's not down to her to decide what you do with your child.

YANBU. If she was just reading and not interferring, not ringing you up to moan about you in your jimjams for example, then fine.

But she is not. She is abusing the privilege of having read something not meant for her.

I say again, YA absolutely NBU!

Er, how would she feel about being able to read your letters/emails to your husband? Or perhaps listen in on your phonecalls? (It sounds like she might quite like it, but hopefully she'd see it was wrong!).

It's private, you can give a vague promise to update the general family one more often but SIBU, not you. What was it called? Blog for Daddy/DH or nothing so obvious?

It is called blog for daddy in .....

I thought she was being unreasonable.

Yes Zillion, I think she would quite like to do all of the above.

Tell her it's your way of writing a letter to your husband and therefore it's just for him. She can look at the other family blog if she wants news.

It's like shouting to the neighbours through the wall 'I can't hear what you're saying to each other can you speak up a bit please?'!!

I agree with the previous posts. One of the reasons I wont have my Mum as an FB friend and have blocked her, as she would be on the phone asking about comments I had made or photos of people I know when she is not in the slightest bit interested in them (or me for that matter)

YANBU, of course.

Your blog sounds like a really sweet idea.
