My wonderful, sweet, darling husband had Bible Study at our house last night. And, they were talking about me. And, Mr. Serious was teasing me about my blog. Thinking it was funny that I typed the letters "IRL," used Rachel's word tonguegasmic, and had a blogoversary.
But, really, he's just jealous, right? Jealous of me having all of my lovely friends out there? And, he just wishes that he could say good morning/good afternoon to so many people? Right? I think of many of the people that I "know" from my blog as friends and if we lived near each other, we would meet up frequently. I mean, we know each others kids, jobs, hobbies, etc.
So that got me thinking. What do your spouses/significant others/parents thing about your blog/blogging? Do they encourage you? Do they read your blog?
If you haven't left me any blogoversary love, please do so, here.

Mr. Serious is definitely jealous! HI Mr. S!! My family reads my blog as its a great way for them to keep updated on our lives since we live 1000 miles away. The hubby reads my blog too and thinks its an addiction but doesn’t really understand. He is supportive and a computer nerd so he has his addictions too!
Funny you should ask. Just yesterday my oldest sister wrote me an email wondering if I was really wanting to air some of the things I air. In particular she was talking about remarks made about my mother. I felt my face flush red and hot – like getting called out in grade school – I think she might be right. Now I am confused – I guess what I am embarrassed about is sending them occasional links about family stuff when they clearly don’t read it – it makes them uncomfortable for me to use such a public forum.
Lesson learned – don’t send them links.
Tony reads, every single day. He makes comments if I don’t blog often, he suggests stories to tell, and comments fairly often.
BUT-he loves to poke at me when in public because I am kinda shy about the whole thing. And most definitely do not want anyone in my town knowing I blog.
That’s so funny! Mr. Cup always reads my blog, but rarely comments! He does tease me because I ALWAYS say, “This is going on the blog.”
Your hubby is gettin’ the blogging itch-you never know, you might see him doing it soon! haha
My Hubby thinks it’s a good thing-you can check out where HE actually logged in and wrote me a sweet blog (grammer or something is the title I think!).
Family-I don’t think they check it out that much-I have some family from far away that really does read it, so they can keep up with us,but local family-i don’t think so!
Friends love it-they check on me this way to make sure I’m doing good!
BTW-if we lived close, I think we’d be hangin’ out all the time! We’re cool like that!
I think Mr. Serious is totaly jealous, that’s it exactly!!!
I actually just asked Mr. Wonderful yesterday if he reads my blog and he said he does often and that he likes it.
I bet Mr. Serious loves it and that’s why he teases!!!
You rock!!
I agree Jealous!!!! My Husband so does not really like MY BLOGGING or that I have a blog and I have so many restrictions that he asked me not to mention like his job, our boys and NO pics of our boys…HMMM broke a few of those rules huh…LOL You guys are adorable family I bet he is completely in AWE of your BLOGGING the truth be known!!!!
My husband reads before I post, every time. I find errors when I read it outloud to him.
I told one friend, a year ago, about my blog and it spread by word of mouth. Now, just about everyone I know, checks in every once in a while.
my husband teases me too! my mom thinks its cool that I have a blog and my friends (IRL) think it’s cool too! so yeah out husbands are jealous
My hubby just reads it to make sure I’m not doggin’ him. Although he does occasionally compliment on something particular witty or emotional.
Alex totally makes fun of me for blogging…but he also checks the blog numerous times a day and comments! lol. I’ve been convinced for sometime now that he’s jealous of all my social circles.
He just laughs at me. I think he likes that I blog because it gives me an outlet when the kids are driving me nuts.
P reads my blog from the carrier, which is one reason why I put so many pics on it. He never comments on the blog, but he will email me after I post.
Blogging is a new thing for me and I am addicted to reading other people’s blogs. So many amazing people out there…its really fascinating. My hubby gets annoyed by it sometimes. He’s not used to me being on the laptop so much, so I really try to limit myself. My Mom reads daily, but it took her about 6 months to get into it as the concept of blogging was new to her. My sisters also read daily and one even started her own blog. I love it. And I so enjoy yours!

I think Mr. Serious probably doesn’t care either way…in a nice way, of course.
My family knows about my blog, and so does my boyfriend, but I’m CERTAIN that he doesn’t read it. I just don’t know why! I always feel weird talking to him because I’ll say things like, “Oh, there’s this girl whose blog I read and she said that…” I feel like he’s always looking at me thinking…
(you guessed it)
Really, are YOU serious?!
He doesn’t mind it, but he doesn’t care to read it anyways… I can’t keep anything in… so he always knows what I’m thinking anyways. No need to read it! lol
Brian thinks I am weird whenever I say “my blog friend…” he thinks its weird that I have ‘blog friends’… but funny how he reads my blog everyday! along with my sisters! haha I think he is jealous just like Mr. Serious! They only wish they could have the wide aray of friends
I love my blogging world friends!!
He’s totally jealous!
In my house, I always hear- ” MOMMMM! Do not blog about this!” LOL! My husband reads my blog and every once in a while will comment!
Good question! Some of my family members and friends totally get it, but others just make fun of me. One of my sister’s pokes fun of me for it, but I notice that he reads daily…it is such a great way for her to keep up with us especially since she lives 3 hours away. My husband reads it too, our work schedules are so different that it may be days before we can actually have a meaningful conversation so my blog is a way to see what me and Carter have been up to and funny things that Carter does and says during those crazy days. My aunt and one of my IRL friends have also started a blog recently…so they are beginning to understand how great blogging really is!
Oh, by the way Mr. Serious to totally jealous!
