Has any other mom gotten uncharacteristically paranoid after having children?
I was never as cautious as I am now. I never worried as much as I do now. And I never realized how important health is until now.
Safe and healthy, safe and healthy... These words repeat constantly in my head. Keep my babies safe and healthy. Keep my husband and myself safe and healthy so we can raise these kids until they can at least defend themselves in this crazy world.
Talk about pressure! This is definitely one of my "Top Ten Things Noone Told Me About Parenting".
Flying = Mental Torture
Playgrounds = falling hazards everywhere! (the tall slide commands most of my attention)
Walking down the hill = Chill down my spine...(what if they don't hold the stroller tight enough and it gets away from them??)
Driving = Eyes in the back of my head, side of my head, all over.
***don't roll your eyes!!! People DO NOT know how to drive and you know it!***
OK, I think we get it. I'm terrified for my children. I wonder how I'll react when they want to go out without me or daddy. That's going to be some conversation(fight).
I know I'll have to eventually get over it but as of right now, I just don't see that happening... My poor kids.
Of course my husband taunts me saying crazy things like, "what are you gonna do when Maddie says she wants to go to spring break to Miami?". I say, "great, that's mommy's home town and I'm coming too!!!"
