fairfarmhand Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Do you ever worry about their coming Across your post and figuring out who you are and what you said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nope. Haven't talked to them in 11 years. They can suck it if they recognize themselves. If they're narcissists, would it be the opposite of the "You're So Vain" effect? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No. They are not computer literate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nope. No worries. The one I care about, I have never said a bad word to describe her. To the others....I have only been honest. If one of my MILs saw this (I have 2 MIL), they would know who I was talking about. Both know exactly how I feel about them and the other. One I would be friends with, without our relationship. The other, I don't want to even have dinner with at a wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nope... why on earth would they be reading a homeschooling forum, and then the chat board part of it, and then happen to stumble across the extremely rare post in which I might have said something about the in-laws? I could see *some* potential reason for reading up on homeschooling (because the grandkids are going to be homeschooled), but so far I haven't heard them say a word about reading anything about homeschooling, and the chat board part would be the least useful part of the site if they wanted to read about homeschooling (rather than about cupcakes). And then, there are so many other sites about homeschooling. And, of course, my MIL already knows she's not our favorite person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I can't imagine them reading a homeschool forum, especially FIL who doesn't like computers, so I don't really worry much about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba12 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 They don't know my online username, so googling my name and finding the thread is unlikely As for this forum, if MIL wanted to read a homeschooling forum she would have done so a long long time ago instead of educationally neglecting her kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (a) If she can't be bothered to look at my facebook page, I have very little reason to believe she'd look for me here. (b) She doesn't follow homeschooling, let alone homeschooling message boards. © She isn't paranoid, she's narcissistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My in-laws couldn't even turn on a computer if one were in front of them. If they happened to find the on/off button, using the mouse and connecting to the internet would be difficult. If someone got them to that point, finding a homeschool forum on the internet... It's all way beyond anything I worry about. I actually like most things about my in-laws. Their extensive racism/prejudice just bugs me incredibly and it's usually what I post about in a venting sort of way - or MIL's Alzheimers/dementia.

The Girls' Mom Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No. But then again, I've not said anything that I wouldn't or have already said to her/their face. Also, I'd be very surprised if my MIL or FIL either one found this place and started reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It has crossed my mind for one of the SILs, but I don't care. if she were ever to confront me, saying, "Quill is *YOU* and you are clearly talking about *ME." I would confirm her suspicions and say, "So what?" i have said unflattering things about the way my parents raised me, but I consider it terribly unlikely that they would be savvy enough to find this site, register, search around and find specific posts.

Melissa in Australia Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No. they are both in their 90s one completely blind and the other has no access to their computers. as for my other in-laws. I very much doubt that they would be on a homeschool forum and if they do come across it than I don't care if they know my low opinion of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No. They are not computer literate. Neither are mine. Thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My inlaws use computers but I have no reason to think they'd seek out a homeschool forum and start looking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My XMIL couldn't turn on a computer. But I wouldn't care if she knew what I said about her. I am more worried my ds15 will read what I write about him! I try to be conscious of that these days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksr5377 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 No, they only check their email about 3 times a year. I have no concerns. Also, I have never mentioned this forum to anyone other than my DH and several close IRL homeschooling friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
