Should my daughter read this?

(This was written as a part of my *gasp* myspace blog)

Ok, I am on myspace.  I have a 13 year-old daughter.  I really really want to find her myspace page so I can read the goings on she posts there.  She and her best friend have a page together and I would love to find it without asking her what it is.  Is that awful?  I want to know about her myspace page without her knowing I know so I can sneakily read what she writes.  I’m totally allowing my girly, catty side to come out when I confess this but you all know you’d want to do the same thing!!  You know it!!  If you had a chance to spy you would.  Admit it.  Well maybe not.  Maybe I’m just evil for admitting I would like an insight to my daughter’s social musings…hmmm.

So, here’s the question:  If my daughter were to read what I write here, what would she think?  I know she’d be judgemental as all 13 year-olds are.  I know she’d probably be horrified to hear me talking about naked pics and good sex and such.  I should set an example for her of high moral conduct and lack of swearing…but the thing is, this is MYspace.  I’ve thought about that as I’ve written journals in the past.  What do I WANT my “posterity” to read about me?  Unfortunately I must admit I probably have written more to that end than just what and who I am.  Now, I must say that I am going to just be me.  This is my forum to express myself as I want to.  If you don’t want to read what is written here then don’t.  If you are offended by what is written here, then go ahead, be offended.  I will not read YOURspace and be offended and judgemental so don’t you do the same.  Now, to #1, my loving, sarcastic, beautiful and wise 13 year-old…I must say this.  Your myspace is not on my favorites.  I don’t know where you reside and I am proud to say I DID NOT SPY.  If you want to tell me then that will make me the happiest Mommy in the world because I would love insight into your world and to know about you and your friends.  I hope you see me as someone who always looked out for you, loved you, occasionally made mistakes, and was always your soft place to fall.  I love you SO much and you need to know this:  your mother is an adult woman who wants to have fun AND be your Mommy (please don’t call me Mom, I can’t handle it).  The people that are my friends here are wonderful people that care about me and I care about them…just like you and your friends.  We are OLD but part of the goodness of being OLD is that we can be on myspace and goof around but also know the consequences and be responsible.  If you want to read my blog then do so with care.  I’m going to be myself here and not hold back.  I don’t think you need to know about all of it but if you look, then you will see.  Just know that my first priority in life, since you were born, has been to be your Mommy.  I love you, #1!!!  Have fun and be safe ok?
