Mammasauras blogs for those of us whose children are not of the angelic, perfectly well-mannered variety. She blogs for those of us whose children are creative, imaginative, mischief-making monsters. But what she didn’t know up until very recently, was that she was also blogging for her mother….
Ah blogging – the gift that keeps on giving … First you have that *ching* moment when you have an idea for a post, then you have the pleasure of writing it. Now those two stages are why I blog personally – I just enjoy it.
Bonus happiness comes in the form of comments – to know that someone, somewhere feels the same and came relate to you.
Finally subscriptions, the hardcore few who want to receive your posts by email or in their RSS reader always brings a smile, even to the most seasoned blogger.
Imagine then my surprise when I awoke to find an email informing me that I have a new subscriber – my MOTHER!
And on the one morning I post about spooning too – oh dear! Luckily knowing my mum – who knows me very well – is unlikely to be too surprised, however she did post “TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!!”on the Mammasaurus Facebook wall as a comment to the post’s link…
I have been asked of late if [my husband] Papasaurus reads my blog too. The short answer – not much. It doesn’t really interest him that much, of course sod’s law meant that he too saw the word ‘spooning’ recently and decided to read the post in full.
After a brief 10 minutes of sulking he was back to normal and vowed to up the ante with less spooning more ‘quality’ from now on – so that’s a bonus.

'Papasaurus' only started 'peeping' into it recently. There has to be a key word in the title that determines if he reads it! *note to self always use really bland titles for racy posts*

Goodness, I didn't proof-read that at all! I meant to say....'telling him when I've done a new one'

My husband reads every post and says he looks forward to the email telling him when I done new one :) I've only just started blogging and only just got my first follower, (who isn't my husband!) so he may possibly be the only one who does read every post lol

Do you know what? My husband has NEVER read my blog! In two years of blogging...not once...that I know of! He says, "It's what you do...it's your work" so apparently that's why? However, I always blog with the idea that he IS reading it. ;) Karin PS- Sometimes I wish certain members of my family DIDN'T read it as sometimes I'd really like to have a good old whinge! ;)
