A Stymied Disclaimer

I’ve been having trouble writing posts of much length and substance these last few weeks, and I’ve finally figured out why.

I learned of two instances where posts I had written were used in hurtful ways to say unkind things, and I was stymied. I couldn’t reconcile my desire to write this family record for the future memories of the people I love most in the world, and that someone would be, even unintentionally, unkind or judgmental with the information I share here.

The intention may have not been unkind, but the impact was hurtful.

So, I’ve been pondering that. And feeling angry and confused and hurt about that.

Then I said with all the privilege and attitude of a person my age, “I don’t care about what other people choose to do.”

This blog is for the love of my family. I’ve confirmed, once again, with my children that they are comfortable with this blog. That’s what matters to me.

Frankly, this is a pretty boring place. Our life is drama-free. We find each other hilarious. We enjoy reading about our adventures, big and small. I write what I write for my own pleasure and memory and if you find something of value here, that makes me happy.

And if you find something here that you want to be judgmental and ugly about, keep it to yourself. It’s not of interest to me.
