Family ties

It's most unsettling to read a fic on my friends list, go to comment, and to find my daughter has already done so.

Is the net age-democratic or what? Try the one about 'Everyone on my FL with one exception *could* be my daughter- and one could be my granddaughter'.

Mostly I find it comforting that age isn't instantly apparent, so the reminders are more of a shock.

Boomers. 'There are always more of us than there are of you.' Just on the net you sometimes forget that fact.

hmmm, my son has developed yaoi-sense. i can sit on the computer for HOURS without a problem, but the SECOND i pull up a fic to write, he's right behind me, looking over my shoulder, trying to read it. now, sure, when he's older, no big whoop. but 11? he still freaks out if i say 'ass', and he threatened to stop reading naruto over konohamaru's little yaoi prank... (hangs head in shame, i tried to raise a sensitive boy, really)

but, yeah, considering some of the things i've read recently, i would be squicked beyond belief if i found my kiddo had read them, too. (of course, that would lead to DISCUSSING them, which would be kind of fun, because i live to embarrass my son - and then HE would be posting 'dude, my mom read the same stuff i did and now she wants to TALK about it' *evil laugh*)

because i live to embarrass my son Fun, isn't it?

Both my children are in their 20s and elsewhere. I don't think my son has noticed what I read, but his girlfriend was taken aback by the copy of "Yellow" I was given for Christmas.
