Anyone with a search engine will be able to read about sleep issues, homework issues or whatever far into the future. I have a couple of friends who are not famous in any way but post about their kids to Facebook with abandon, have literally hundreds of friends and don't use any privacy settings. I feel for the day when the kids are bullied because they wet the bed seven years ago...

The flaw in that analysis is these kids have already grown up in a TMI culture. Oversharing is all they know and they're not embarrassed by anything.

I do agree that the parents who post negative things about their kids -- my SIL does this, ranting about how awful my nephew is in a bid for reassurances that she's a good mom -- could cause family friction later.

But no kid is going to write a "tell-all" book about this trauma. More importantly, no publisher will publish it. I suppose the kid could self-publish in an e-book. But no one is going to buy or read it.

But yeah, if your point is that it's bad to chronicle your parenting challenges online, I agree. We're all judging the people who do this and public assurances to the commentary, we generally feel that you ARE a bad parent based on what you're telling us. I just think your notion of retaliation later is a fantasy.

And the flaw in your analysis is that these kids have grown up in a climate of oversharing and TMI, but it's completely different to have someone else, especially your parents, sharing your development, most embarrassing stories, and pictures from your really ugly phase before you cleared puberty. I don't follow any mommy bloggers well enough to know their names, but then I don't follow wrestling, either. That doesn't mean these kids and their stories aren't well known to millions.

Yeah, it kind of does.
