Does your family read your blog?

A lot of us do keep talking about friends reading our blogs, but what about family? Do they read your blog? Does that bother you or do you find it encouraging? What do they make of your entire blogging activity?

Just curious, would love to hear you out! Please share Smile

Perhaps then, from next time onwards, I should give a shout for you in the thread description itself.. What say? Tongue out

... and whatever your family might be saying, I'm sure the end results are all good otherwise the blogger in you would never have lasted this long... Smile

haha.. do that dear! who does not love attention of a lovely travel blogger Laughing

true that.. they do encourage me.. but the recent Facebook scandel made them wary! not that its going to stop me, but they have become more cautious.

Hmmm another great topic for discussion, Arti.

Yes, my family does read my blog, as and when I update it, which usually happens once or twice a year ;). They are all subscribed by email.

Hey Abhi, WELCOME BACK! So glad to see you here! :)

Why aren't you blogging anymore? I'm sure your family is waiting to hear from 'Be the Geek' and so are, many others here. Your presence in the blogging world is sorely missed, please... do keep blogging. :)

@Arti, @Hemal, m just giving chances to other tech bloggers . If people like me, Hemal keep blogging regularly nobody would notice the other blogs ;)

On a serious note, I will try and be more, umm loyal to my "'hundreds'' of followers by posting regularly. :)

Well I have an Aunt who reads my blog and comments regularly...but then she is a blogger herself so it's inevitable. :P

Other than that, my parents read my blog sometimes...and this fact pretty much freaks me out, to be honest. I had once entered my dad's study to find him looking through my blog...he turned to me and suddenly smiled sheepishly and said "Oh...hi...Thought you had a new post or something".

I probably had a stricken look on my face and then, well, I ran away. :P

Other than that...a few other family members read...not very often though (thank goodness).

Glad to see you back on the forum, Antara! :)

To have a blogger aunt in the family must be something. And yeah, our parents are often interested in what we are singing or saying, lately ;)

No, my parents are not computer literates but they know that I have a blog (I told them in short, blog is a place where one can place articles and visitors can read, as they don't understand the terms publishing blog, blog post, blog URL etc.,)

Till today my friends don't know that I blog ;-) I am somehow not comfortable in slef publicising my blog...

My brother is a regular reader of my blog...

Hi techno... Your case is quite similar to mine. Only one of my very close friend knows that I blog. Other than that, its me and my parents only. And I like to keep it that way. :)

yes they do, they are one of my biggests supporters!but since the discovery that they do read my blog, I've had to rewrite a few dialogues and scene to avoid being caught in some made up lies that I've said over the years to cover up some stuff when I was in college Tongue out

my family doesn't at all, but my relatives from usa and germany do and that is a hot topic of discussion at times when I speak with them. Quite ironic really.

Yes, I have my very own parenting blog called Humpty Bumpty Kids and I make sure that my closest family members read it first. They are your best audience and also yout greatestcritic. Something needs to be added, deleted, unneccesary, too much info...everything, they are there to sort it out before it gets out into the world. Laughing

My family memebers do read my posts and they are the first readers as soon as a new post comes out of the oven.  I too value their comments.
