I was really moved when I read your birth story - I am going on 19 weeks pregnant with fraternal twin boys - and your blog is helping me understand what I am in for. Thank you Thank you Thank you - Keep it up! I started a blog, but don't plan on sharing with my family so I won't have to censor my thoughts - that is why I use facebook - that is where I have my censorship. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more about the boys and the breastfeeding and the diapers - that is why I follow -BleuMoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526979362122547074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-44210225010095711002011-06-09T20:10:40.652-07:002011-06-09T20:10:40.652-07:00You are hysterical and this post totally cracked m...You are hysterical and this post totally cracked me up.

And not everyone is going to like us, no matter what.<br />I have to laugh at the comment above because I love that you think you are awesome! We should all have that much self-esteem. Because I know you and love you I think you are hilarious. And I also love that Travis loves you so much. And there are times when we all feel a little bit like a martyr. Isn't that part of motherhood?

Often you seem so arrogant and self-satisfied. I reckon everyone could use a bit more tact -even if it is YOUR blog. If you wanted it to be a place where you said whatever the hell you wanted, you wouldn't be trying to make this blog popular. Truth is, you want readers and you want a well-known blog. All writers know that they have an audience. You should come to terms with that or make a private thought journal. You have an audience so write for them. For every person who thinks you are "hilarious" there are probably 10 more people who think "this was weird. Why does she think she's so awesome? Everyone has difficult times, that doesn't make her a martyr." You are a good person, you can be funny, people do love you. Practice a little self-control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-11934411641386930192011-06-09T09:48:40.689-07:002011-06-09T09:48:40.689-07:00Haha!

I saw someone above said that if they could go back in time and not tell the people they know to follow their blog they would. And I kind of/totally agree with that. I started my blog as a way to document my life, and to write out how and what I am feeling (I guess the reason most people start a blog) And now, there is SO much I would love to say, but can't for fear of hurting the people in my life that read it.<br /><br />I know I kind of just repeated what you said, but...I hear ya!

But everyone that knows you knows that about you and we still love you. We might raise our eyebrows once in a while about things you write, but they are for you and your boys to remember this special time in your life. So for those that get offended - buzz off - she is our Becky and we don't want her to change - so there. Love always, Grandma Mary<br />p.s. you can write about your crotch cuz grandpa Roger doesn't read your words, he just looks at the photos of the boys.Nana Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131350223052474249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-70628606263328023862011-06-09T08:17:56.910-07:002011-06-09T08:17:56.910-07:00So this business about not deleting what you have ...So this business about not deleting what you have written is crap. It's called editing. People who speak without thinking don't have the option of taking something back, but when you write, you can re-think, or re-phrase, or eliminate something that your conscience tells you is inappropriate. You don't mean to offend, of course, and in our family we often are sarcastic or teasing which can sometimes be cruel, so we can't be that way around everyone. (I edited this part out).<br />Better just say DON'T STOP WRITING, we all enjoy what you write, and like you, I have such a high opinion of myself that I am never offended by what you write. Just try not to be so whiney. No offense.MARCIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239774105939045673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-536874799274404772011-06-09T07:04:47.038-07:002011-06-09T07:04:47.038-07:00Well, I have to say I think that it's wise to ...Well, I have to say I think that it's wise to try to avoid burning bridges via blog writing. That being said, it's really important that you blog for YOU and not for others. <br /><br />If you blog for everyone else then everything just gets generic and flat. If you blog for you (ie... go ahead and blog about your babies if they're all you think about!) then you'll have some very committed readers who have the same interests and/or life experiences as you!<br /><br />I hope you keep it up either way. I think you have a wonderful writing voice and your honesty about your life and what it's like to a mother of twins is refreshing!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17615059460769045700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-34498219419612913032011-06-09T06:14:06.828-07:002011-06-09T06:14:06.828-07:00I just read this post, and ALMOST died laughing th...I just read this post, and ALMOST died laughing through the entire thing.

I'm guilty of censoring myself because I don't want to offend people, particularly my in-laws who already probably think I'm a heathen. Good for you for saying what you want! If others are offended by what you write, they don't have to read it. You can't be responsible for everyone elses' (I can't get that word right--every way I type it, it looks wrong! Moving on...) feelings. And it's rude of them to expect you to be. Just my 2 cents. BTW I think you're hilarious. And I hope that you do start talking about yourself, but only if you want to. More of us should be more open about crotch pain after children, and all those other horrible things that happen that no one talks about. And now I'm ending the world's longest comment. :)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764019184996443389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-40571112746825884512011-06-08T19:27:31.055-07:002011-06-08T19:27:31.055-07:00Bahahaha!

After all, it is your blog and you should be able to write whatever the heck you want. Even if it is to rant and rave about the idiot elephant upstairs. I say forget about all of the "sensitive" feelings out there and write what you want! Even if it is about your darling boys every single day. I love reading about them.
