Tell tell tell tell tell. All hidden things will become unhidden at some point. You can either control that time or have it happen on its own, usually at the WRONG time. What’s the worst that could happen? Sure, she could pack you up in a box and keep your body there for 50 years or so, but even then, your concience would be clear. I am a huge supporter of blatantly open honesty, mostly because I am to stupid to remember what I would have lied about. It’s too much work and worry.

My wife has developed a huge online support group through her forums and blogs and to be honest I am glad because then she doesn’t always bug me with things that I don’t want to bother with. I suspect Working Mom may have a similar feeling.

What will be harder to explain:

Case 1: Honey, I have a blog about our growing daughter and I have been keeping great track of her development so we can read it when we are old and wrinkly.

Case 2: Honey, I have been keeping a blog about our daughter and have been hiding it from you for the past few years. I’m sorry that your coworker’s mother has been reading it for the past year and that is how you found out about it during a conference in Detroit. I know you must have felt very embarrassed. It’s been a lot of work to conceal it from you, and quite tiring, but I have developed many deceitful skills that make it very easy to hide almost anything. I have an entire set of friends and associates who support me in ways that you have never been able to. They have filled a need for me where you have been absent… hey wait…come back…what do you mean your mother was right? Can we talk about the webcam when you get back? But I’ve made almost $4 on google ads!!!

Please excuse the bad humor, but it is better to get in trouble for one thing than two. You will have to teach Boo about this soon enough, so think about walking the walk, pardner.

I’m here if you want to do it over a conference call!

@Dayngr~ Thanks! I have a feeling that “quality of writing” won’t be an excuse when the time comes, but I appreciate the vote of confidence!

@Ann Marie~ You think? Would you keep this kind of thing from the Waterman?

Dd.

Well, I don’t know if you’re doing the right thing or not but your writing is good so what have you got to worry about?
