I DD'd!!

After about 10 minutes of trying to delete/edit my post, I FINALLY made it happen.

I'm sorry everyone.  That was a terrible post.  Just because I'm a paranoid freak, doesn't mean I should be throwing my irrational fears in the faces of expecting parents.  That's just stupid!  I promise to be smarter with my posts form this point forward!

 

(..and for the record, even though it scares the sh!t outta me, I am proud, honored and happy to be raising my kids in this world)

I'd be surprised if many of us didn't have similar thoughts passing through our heads, at least from time to time. It's hard not to if you pay any amount of attention to the news.But I think we all have to recognize that it's been happening for generations. Our fears/concerns might be a bit different from those our parents or grandparents had for us, but I think every generation has felt like that for one reason or another. No worries re: your post! At least not from me!

I didn't see your original post but I wantr you to know you aren't alone. I am well aware I suffer from anxiety issues and probably think about these things more than most, but I am consumed by fears of child molesters, kidnappers, being a victim of violent crime etc. Drunk driving, when she goes to college, it never stops.

In fact, I was up until 3 AM last night worrying about DD when we go to Spring Training. She is spending 2 days with my parents and the next 2 with the ILs and I am terrified of my parents driving her on the highway to ILs house. I have images of a fiery crash, ugh, I'll stop now.

No. No. No. I was trying to delete it long before you replied. Pretty much as soon as I hit post, I was like 'what the Hell am I doing' and I was trying to get rid of it, but the pages wouldn't load. Anyway, your reply (which I think was the only one) was so true. I tend to over analyze and obssess over things I can't control (dont even get me started on airplanes/flying). I know the chances/likelihood of anything so awful happening are so slim, I'm just the kind of person that thinks 'there's still a chance'. I know. It's stupid and annoying.

hehe...it's all good. I think I'll ban my child from watching Fox news, but totally allow them to watch MTV.

Didn't see your post but I think we all have crazy fears. I myself have a super irrational one like that if the world ends in 2012 my baby will be 18 months old and we happen to survive the initial disaster how would we cope with a toddler. See we are all a little crazy...DH pretends he can't hear when I say stupid stuff like that.
