What does your family think

I've gotten visits from my family members, who have been supportive but have not joined. I take the visits with great joy and move on.
my oldest son signed up and started writing about a month after me, but he's not active in the forums at all. he saw the set up and liked it and writes mostly 'how to' articles. he also helps me understand some of the technical stuff and search engine traffic.
I email my articles to family members living elsewhere. they love to read my hubs and encourage me to keep writing wherever I can.how adorable, that's really very sweet, those teachable moments!
I would love to read them, can you post the links, or give us the titles? (please)We are all ok Zsuzsy, thanks for asking. The little Princess is growing into a fine little lady we are preparing a hub on bee keeping her new hobby. Meantime the little hooligan is going wilder by the day!!
All the best to you, and lots of love from France
Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I loved reading them and it's so much fun to see Paris from a little princess' view!! Her pics are perfect. She did a great job of writing.
thanks for sharing, my first hub I read this morning!! a delight.

My husband knows about HubPages and supports me on this. But he's not really much in writing so he's content with just reading what I show him or listening to me when I tell him what hubs I read.
None of my other family members are involved one way or another in HubPages. I've given them the link but I guess they're too busy to bother right now
.My son and boyfriend are very supportive, I am very lucky.
My family and friends think of writing as what I do (for work, for fun), but I don't think they think in terms of involving themselves in "whatever it is" I do.
I'm among very "technical-centered" people who only have time to read what's related to their work. Then there are the people who "aren't all that into" the Internet for personal purposes and only use it to shop and e.mail. My grown kids do their own thing and write too, so I'm not sure they'll never join HubPages.
They all know where my writing is, and I know some have checked it out to some extent; but if they do more than just look take a quick look they haven't said so. I suspect they think I'll feel they were "horning in" on my personal business. They're kind of right. I like my writing to be "my thing" (not a particularly secret thing, but my thing nonetheless). Its good to have your own thing.
Then, just look at your writing as your thing. You have your own thing that's separate from your family.
And maybe when your kids are a little bit bigger they will be more interested.Oh, I DO think of it as my own thing. Its why I am still here, despite the..."problems"..it may cause. My kids are just too little to read all that I write.They dont need htat type of information... They love to make books and stories and I encourage them to write whenever they want. Each one has a persoanal journal that I have never, and will never, read. They dont know about hubpages, cuz they are little sitll, is all.
Maybe I shouldn't add this, but my kids are all grown.
I do suspect they've done a little reading but not mentioned it out of not wanting to "pry". Either way, though, one reason I write some things is that I imagine one day years from now my future grandchildren (or my own children) will get to know what their grandmother was like or what life was like "back in the late 1900's/early 2000's. (I'm going to leave instructions with my boxes of discs and printed stuff, "If you find this in the attic years after I'm not around any more, don't throw it out just because you don't want to read it. Please give it to one of the relatives who may be interested, or save it for your own grandchildren, who actually may be interested."
- good luck!!
My dad is just happy that I am writing online some. He's glad that after the journalism internship I'm keeping some degree of work online.

30 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge
I've scrounged HubPages for this challenge as I posted one Sunday, one yesterday, and am working on what today. With only 20 hubs in the years I have been on here, I think it would be a great challenge. Is anyone currently undertaking this? Do you have any other advice?
