4th grade daughter confronts mom over blogs about her
One mom's blog is making some waves and making a lot of us think about what we post about our little ones.

In this age of social media, parents post about their kids.



From baby pictures to cute posts about school, maybe some embarrassing moments, it all becomes a habit and part of our digital culture.



One mom's blog in the Washington Post is making some waves and making a lot of us think about what we post about our little ones.



Christie Tate says her fourth grade daughter was furious when she stumbled upon her mom's posts over the years.



Tate is a blogger, and says she always grappled about the ethics of it and how her kids would feel when they were grown.



She says her daughter asked her to stop writing about her life and posting pictures of her.



She says she told her daughter the truth about her work.



As a writer, she says she is not done exploring motherhood and she can't promise she won't touch on her own life, that includes her kids.



But she did make a promise, as a family and as a team, she would now ask her daughter's permission going forward.
