If she started a blog she wouldn't be able to take the criticism that comes with writing in a public forum. yes, she does, and I find it funny that she wants to start a blog because both my dad and I have blogs.

One of the reasons I like reading personal finance blogs is that a lot of everyday people talk about their mistakes and missteps. I cannot believe how childish my mom acted over the whole thing. @Anna -- yes. every Asian kid I've talked to say that their parents hate to admit that they're wrong even when they really are wrong. They just can't look bad. @Mike -- Yup you did read my original post. The thing is I wrote this blog for my friends first and then my dad found it and then my mom begged for the blog address. I really don't like that she reads my stuff because she has gone crazy before when I was in high school. The story that set her off that time was that she was wearing a pair of Payless shoes she bought, but the shoes had the security tags on them because the store clerk forgot to take them off when she purchased them. Then our whole family was at Best Buy buying a TV and she set off the alarms as she walked out. Well, the story was a bit longer and funnier, but she went ballistic over that and I thought it was retarded. It was just a funny family story. Thanks for the comments.

This might be an example of why a lot of bloggers don't tell anyone at all about their blog. It really does limit your posts some times. Mike Hilarious – I thought the post was fine.

I think it's the cultural differences. I didn't get to read the original text so I can't give an opinion either way. I hope everything worked out ok though. Yeah, my parents are the same way.
