Horror of horrors.
My MIL, who is staying for a few days, just came in unexpectedly and caught me quickly catching up on MN. She lent over peering at the screen for a second (which irritates me in itself) and said "Ah yes. Mumsnet. Dh said you used that. It's good isn't it".
Ahhhhhhh! I will kill dh later, but now I have a dilemma.
I don't hate my MIL, but I do find her hugely irritating, especially on issues concerning dd, and also very interfering. The thought of her reading my posts fills me with absolute dread. I would stop using MN if I thought it even vaguely likely. I don't post that often (maybe twice a week for the past year), but I have mentioned where I live (small town, no other posters AFAIK) and it would certainly be possible to identify me from other info I've left, if you set your mind to it. MIL uses the computer ALOT - is always online.
If you knew your daughter-in-law used a particular forum, and were obsessed with your granddaughter, and all issues pertaining to her, would you search the site to try and find posts?
Do I.....
- Stop being so paranoid and carry on as normal
- Stop using MN
- Change my name, and be a bit more careful about details I talk about online?
Will not get the chance to look for a while as out today (dutiful daughterinlaw), but would be interested in your opinions.
