I recently asked my Twitter friends what are the #top10 things your family says to you now that you are a blogger and here are the first 10 responses I got:
- @buckdaddy “why don’t you blog that or i better not see this on your blog” – Blogger at Buck Daddy’s Blog
- @SavingSense “Since I’m a frugal blogger, I get asked “do you have a coupon for that?” for every store/meal/product talked about.” – Blogger at Saving Cents with Sense
- @treerootandtwig “Anytime I buy something new, my 8yo son says, “Oh, is that for review?” Too funny!” – Blogger at Tree, Root and Twig
- @brandyellen “I want that toy Mama, can you get it to review on your blog please?” – this is ME
- @MommyBrain “You spend way too much time on the computer. Isn’t that post done yet?” – Blogger at Mommy Brain Reports
- @MuchMoreThanMom “Why don’t you write about that on your blog?” – Blogger from So Much More Than A Mom
- @FatChicksRSexy “Mommy does this mean we are famous?” – Blogger from Memoirs of a Fat Chick

- @MommaDJane “let me guess, that’s going on your blog isn’t it?” – Blogger at MommaDJane Climbing The Ladder To Success
- @toteandtee “When are you going to add more pics of the kids?” – Blogger from Tote and Tee Blog
Ok that’s all for now … tune in for next weeks TOP 10 which features my hubs – Daddy Justin from Daddy Knows All (yes he is slacking in blog writing lately).

I believe I have heard 95% of those at one point or another.
My all time favorite is this seeing as I blog about current events in certain areas:
Did you hear/see/know about such and such? (Fill in BIG EVENT that just happened in any category that I blog on)
I get that from people a lot except for those who finally ‘get’ that the blog I refer them to is MINE. lol

These are great. I think I’ve heard them all. My family just doesn’t understand why I do it.
Glad to see that I am not the only person that goes through this, I have heard almost all of these in one form or another.

Thanks for the twitter shout-out! My kids actually want me to write about all their shenanigans. I don’t let them read my blog but they understand what it is and it makes them feel important.

That was great!! I would have enjoyed knowing who made the comment, was it a child, husband, etc.
I don’t get questioned yet!

Oh yeah! I think we can all relate!
My MIL & SIL are always commenting how they wish there was more pictures of Elijah or of them, etc on BOTH my personal and my ‘business’ blog.
There is also a lot of ‘Well if you need _____ why don’t you just blog about it and see if someone will give it to you instead of us having to buy it?’ from family.
They don’t really get that this is basically a job and I don’t do this just to get free stuff and post about them. It started as cute, but now honestly it’s just so annoying there are times I wish I could go back to before they knew about it. And there are times because of it I have SERIOUSLY considered quitting all together.

My husband asks me why I turn everything into a blog post. I told him it’s what he get’s for making remarks that are bloggable!

I love this list. Since I blog about relationships my kids are not very interested in my blogging. (Yuck, stuff about love and mushy stuff is their general opinion). The first time I ever wrote anything about my husband in a post was because he suggested it. That did shock me a little.

I’ve heard similar things from family members as well. Great list!
.-= Cascia @ Healthy Moms´s last blog ..Set Your Boundaries to Get and Stay Fit =-.
So funny! I think the family makes so many comments because secretly the love it when we blog about them.
.-= Mommie Daze´s last blog ..I’m Not Here =-.
I just love @mommiedaze ‘s husband’s question. That cracks me up and I guess it probably depends on the day, huh?

These are great responses. My kids always think they’re famous when I put their pictures online! And since the focus of my blog is on the personal development of moms, they want to know how come they don’t get as many toys in the mail as they used to!
.-= Mary@Everyday Baby Steps´s last blog ..My Newest Addiction – Project Runway! =-.
OMG Love this post!! Everytime we come across something interesting, my kids are like, “Mommy, you need to put this on your blog.” They are my “lead generators.” LOL! Lately, they have been really great about reminding me to have my camera with me at all times, “just in case we see something that needs a picture for the blog”. Gotta love it!
.-= mrschattypants´s last blog ..TGI Friday’s and the Really Traumatic Eye Candy =-.
Great list! I’d add something like, “Do you have to take pictures of EVERYTHING?” My family doesn’t like waiting to eat while I photograph the food.
.-= Melissa´s last blog ..Back to School with Stop & Shop – Giveaway =-.
I pretty much get “Are you still on the computer?” But they are getting much better at looking out for things I should blog about:)
.-= Sherri @ Luv a Bargain´s last blog ..Quaker Chewy Graola Bars: Free Sample =-.
Too funny, I think I have heard at least one or two of those! I love your background/button, very creative!
Hehehe lol…nicely written.
Even I do face these things sometimes but I enjoy them. Getting in a fight with ma gf abd then a bit fighting…..lol….
Thanks
