NSPR: People are so funny

peeps61308

I read all of the boards on this site throughout the day and I can't help but giggle at the questions asked on the Tri Boards and even the 0-3 month boards. I try to remember that at one time I was clueless about everything pregnancy and baby, but I look at myself now and how relaxed I am about all of DD's bumps and bruises and can't help but giggle.

I think it has to do with the person too.  I have a coworker who was really concerned about everything she ate (no sushi, heated up her lunchmeat, no brie or goat cheese, etc.)  I ate all of those things, but no raw fish, and I even had 1/4 of a glass of wine every now and again when I was pg.  DS came out fine. 

I think about my mom and how paranoid she always is about DS getting bumps and bruises.  I am more relaxed.  It's not that I don't care, by any means, but you can't watch him every.single.second.  Plus I figure if I tell him not to touch the hot stove and he goes ahead and does it anyways and burns himself, he'll learn the hard way not to do it again!

That's exactly how I think about it. My mom freaks about every little thing but sometimes you just have to let them learn the hard way.
