Sharing Information

Last Friday, Hans accused me of talking bad stuff about his father, his brother and him. My first reaction was of denial. I do not talk badly about the 3 guys I live with; they are my closest family!

However, Hans burst into tears and ‎in between sobs provided supporting statements to his accusation. He has heard me talk to his grandma and his uncle on the phone; he has overheard conversations I have with my friends. Hans wanted me to stop talking bad stuff. I was utterly flabbergasted. Then, as usual, I got defensive!

I tell my mom *stuff* that happens with the boys so perhaps she could provide some guidance ‎to me. I share *stuff* with my brother so he is prepared when his own little guy gets to the ages that ASid and Hans have been through! And lastly, I talk to my friends about *stuff* since they are in the same boat as I am - they are fellow wives and mothers!

All Hans had to say to that was something like this, "How would you feel if I talk bad stuff about you at school?" ‎The kid did have a point! However, I really did not like the fact that he believes his Momley talks badly about him and his 2 guys! What would he think of this blog then? Would Hans look at it like I am broadcasting bad stuff about my family to the entire world?

It is true I did not ask permission from Hans or ASid or Craigley before I started sharing information about them. They have no knowledge of this blog. How would they feel when they eventually chance upon it? Perhaps I wouldn't be there to defend myself if they get upset; but, then again, I would also miss the adulation if any! Those are 2 extreme reactions and this is simply speculation.

I would like to‎ believe that Hans, ASid and Craigley perceive this blog as a testament to how much my world revolves around them. They inspire me to write. They are my favourite subjects. That goes for my brother, KPF, Smoggy and Sir B as well!

On that note, here is an anecdote.

Sir B had to say the following one day:

Moms have a different agenda with their kids and I certainly don't want to end up on your blog as the uncle that didn't take proper care of her child?!

The above was part of a communication between Sir B and me. I think we were texting about where ASid should have dinner - at home or with Sir B? For obvious reasons, Sir B’s note stayed with me long after the conversation ended. I am sure Sir B said it in jest; however, I would really not want anyone I love and care about to think that I post bad stuff about them! I would never do that knowingly and if I ever did that unknowingly, I hope I get flagged.

Sorry and thank you.
