Phobias

Woo! Two posts in one day.

Anyone have any phobias they're afraid of passing on to their lo?

I'm deathly afraid of birds. I always made my little brothers scare them away in the street while we were walking. My sister seems to have caught on and also hates birds but not nearly as much as me. I hope I don't pass on this fear but i think it may happen. I dread the day that he starts chasing them for fun.

I used to be this way.  After my first pregnancy, I sort of got over it.

Bugs. Although E watched me freak out over a spider in the bathroom a few weeks ago and for the rest of the day she'd randomly point and yell "PIDER!" to see if I'd freak out again. She is her father's child.

I was hoping one of the benefits of giving birth to a kid and all that entails (I even did it med-free) would help me get over a tiny needle, but, nope.  Boo.

Needles. Can't even look at them without freaking out. It took me 4 weeks to get diabetes test and I cried for 40 minutes before I let them take my blood and screamed while they did. I've been like that since I was little. I will do ANYTHING to avoid a needle!!

Bed bugs.......I have seen them in real life...the HORROR!

Storms, thank goodness I live in SoCal... I get incredibly anxious, mild panic attacks.

Claustrophobia (sp??), I get very anxious in tight, crowded places. Thank goodness I live in the country!

Me too. Petrified. Really inconvenient for all the rounds of infertility treatments we went through. I cried all the time and my DH had to do all the shots. Awful.

Oh, and spiders. Shudder.

I really dont fear anything except knives. It really hinders my ability to cook   And I hate watching someone hand a knife to someone else.  I have so much aniety about it that I often leave the room when people are opening presents if someone pulls out a swiss army knife to assit with the taped items.  And i cannot watch films with knife violence or even a shaving scene.

Heights and snakes.

Whaattt? I was never attacked (THANK GOD) but still developed this fear.  Everyone else thinks it's hilarious! Traveling through Europe was a hoot. Them bishes have no fear.

I am so afariad of storms. I think every thunder storm will turn into a tornado. I have cancelled big plans and made DH stay home with me when there is the possibility of a storm hitting.

When we go on vacation as soon as were are within the 10 day window I check like a maniac everyday to see if they are calling for storms while we are driving.

I have tried so very hard not to show this fear to DD#1. In fact when we have storms I will look out the window with her and talk about the lightening and we count and wait for the thunder. She understands it is dangerous but she doesn't seem to be picking up on my fear.

Yeah, lol. I was 5 and stuck my face in a bird nest to look at the eggs. Let's just say the mom bird was NOT happy about it.

I'm afraid of the dark and so are my two older kids (6 and 2). It's not the DARK exactly that I'm afraid of but it makes me uneasy because I can't see any potential threats. (What I'm really afraid of is home invasions and there have been an absurd number of those in our area in recent months.) Anyway, both of my kids require multiple nightlights on to go to sleep, have terrible nightmares, and sometimes wake up in the night and cry because it's dark and they're afraid (like last night, ugh). So maybe it's something that can be passed on?
