I want to consider the fact that my children may one day value online anonymity even more than I do, and they may not have wanted me to post about them on social media or other online forums.It Cant Be Un-DoneAs a child, I read a story about a woman who often gossiped, and to illustrate how destructive this could be, she was instructed to go to the top of a tower and tear open a feather pillow and scatter the feathers into the wind.

Theres huge value in gaining real-time access to view detailed information on the people with whom we interact.Could any of us have predicted when we were growing up what our digital lives would look like today? I certainly couldnt have.We truly have no idea what the future of technology holds for our children or what it will look like a decade from now. She was then to come down from the tower and attempt to collect every single feather.The moral of the story is that painful words could not be taken back, and that the damage can spread far and wide. I just dont personally want to put them on there until they can make the decision themselves since I want to help them form a good sense of judgement and responsibility before giving them a tool like social media to use.Bottom LineAt the end of the day, the central reason I dont post pictures, names or information about my children online can be summed up in this way: I am not my childrenand I dont feel that I have the right.My childrenare individuals and I feel that they have the right to this privacy.They may currently depend on me to provide and protect their basic needs and rights, but one day they will be autonomous adults who may not have wanted their childhood chronicled in such a public way. You're in! Thanks for signing up. The physical scrapbooks or baby book that had hand-cut printed photos and lovingly worded captions to chronicle our early lives.They didnt post these online for everyone to see (because the webwasnt around yet!) and in a sense we grew up in a safe and protected bubble compared to what our children face today. I dont post much on personal social media but from my years of blogging, I am very aware of just how hurtful and hateful people can be on the internet (and how amazing most people are!).I have gotten actual hate mail from people simply because they disagreed with my food choices, my outfit in a picture, or the fact that I avoid iodine with my thyroid problem.

There wont be a cute birth announcement online (even on my personal social media accounts), and Ill just share our happy news with friends and family via phone, text, or email.But Why Not Share?I get a surprising number of questions about the lack of photos and details about my children both in the comments of the blog, and on social media, with some commenters even going so far as to claim that I must not really have children or that I am ashamed of them. Heck, I even let them make the decision to eatun-healthy food that I wouldnt choose for them so they learn about making good choices and accessing risk in real-time. As we are the first generation to really face this transition, I have to wonder how our children will feel about this when they are older.Only time will tell, but for now, those are some feathers Im trying not to scatter into the wind on behalf of my kids.Is Over-Sharing Dangerous?I am sometimes amazed by how much I know about friends and family members who I havent actually had a face-to-face conversation with in years.
