Honestly it hasn’t been a problem and I think it’s because I am very open about our family anyway. There isn’t too much they’ve shared that I haven’t already shared. If it’s truly private, the kids don’t know about it. Off hand I can’t think of anything they know that I would be overly embarrassed about them sharing.

I’ll admit there have been times when I’ve been a little embarassed by what my kids say but I take the opportunity to let them know that certain things shouldn’t be mentioned or discussed with people outside of the family right away. Most people have been supportive of the way I handled things and others I’m sure are wondering what kinds of conversations are happening in our house!;) The times that I’ve grabbed the kids and walked away and then later went back to talk to them about it they don’t always remember what I’m talking about or they look at me as if to say “that was so yesterday”! Anything I wouldn’t really want them to talk about around others isn’t for their ears in the first place.
