Miller comments on Why Would You Put Your Kid's Face On a Blog?Jennifer V. MillerWed, 29 Sep 2010 17:56:06 +0000http://www.raisingtarah.com/lisa-writes/2010/9/29/why-would-you-put-your-kids-face-on-a-blog.html#comments402617:4424793:comment/9991253Lisa,

You make an excellent point about privacy. It's about what we are willing to tolerate after we "put something out there". Tarah seems fine being digitally distinct. I enjoy reading her blog posts. As for my kids, well, they are seriously averse to public displays. They don't like to "perform" at school plays, they hate it when I sing outloud in the car ("Mom-- SO embarrassing!") Therefore, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like it if I put their lives "out there" for the world to see. So, they remain anonymous on my Facebook page and my blog. I figure when they're ready to put their lives out there for public consumption, they'll do so. Until then, I remain Protector of their Privacy.

Both of my kids experienced very similar things when young. Remind me one time to tell you about Gavin letting me know I was pregnant with Maya before I knew...

She is so talented, and creative. I love your approach to letting her be independent, and to explore, new and wonderful things. I love the Bump in the Road thought process. You are a wonderful mom and a great person. It was such a treat meeting you in Chicago.
Tarah- Keep reaching for the Stars!

What a beautiful way to express your love and devotion to Tarah. She is an angel indeed. You have a beautiful family and I love reading your thoughtful posts.
Can not wait to meet you IRL.

I can't think of a better commitment in the world. Couple of comments: 1) just make sure you don't beat yourself up if at some point for just a fraction on a second she does doubt it, likely through no fault of yours -- perfection is a mighty burden to put on our shoulders!, and 2) let me share why I'm so behind you in your commitment: when my daughter was in those dreadful teen years, she said to me "Mom, you're always SAYING that I'm the most important thing in the world to you -- but your actions don't always show it" (this said during a period when I was way too invested in my work & often didn't get home 'til 8 or after); broke my heart, and I'd give anything to turn back that clock! My best wishes to you in this oh-so-important endeavor.

What a powerful statement you've made here.
