Stupid fears??

Ok, so this is where I want to hear your totally SILLY fears about your LO. Either when they grow up or when they're little...I don't mean that they won't be healthy or what not...
Mine: that my son won't like Soccer at all. I've played my whole life and would looove to be able to play with him.
See... soo stupid.

Re: Stupid fears??
baha soccer....
I'm worried she's going to be like me when I was little. I played in the dirt, I hated baths and I refused to brush my hair. My mom had to force me into the bathtub. I grew out of that pretty quick but man I feel sorry for my mom. lol
Wait a minute now... this is a totally valid fear, I need something a little less serious!
LOL... that's better!
I know I joke a lot about B growing up to be a little hussy but that really is a fear of mine! I'm worried she won't be "raised right" despite our best efforts and will end up getting KU at 14 years old.
I'm also stupidly afraid she'll grow up to hate the preppy/girly clothes I want to dress her in, and we'll never get to wear matching Lilly Pulitzer dresses. No, I would never dress us to match, but secretly I want to!
I worry about this too! It makes me want to put Izzie on BC as soon as she hits puberty.
I'm afraid my kids will be uber-Republicans. Like seriously crazy Tea-Partier, Sarah-Palin-loving uber-Republicans.
Unable to even.

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
Knew I could count on you CG!
I'm worried that since H and I were both shy kids and got picked on for it in school that our children might face the same fate. I've definitely become more extroverted since I was a kid, and H is getting better with time. Hopefully this child will pick up on that and not be terribly shy.
On the other hand, H and his brother were little bruisers when they were kids, always getting in fights (H would get picked on, then his older brother would come over and help him pummel the bully). They always seemed to get into stupid trouble as well, such as playing with fire in a dry swamp, jumping off the garage roof into piles of leaves or snow, etc.
So I hope that my child is a) not super shy and b) not a shiit disturber.
I'm worried Olivia is never going to get her "big girl voice" back and will whine forever!
I don't have any fears about baby #2 yet, ask me in a few weeks.
DH and I just had this conversation. We don't want an Alex P. Keaton. ::hopes others get this 80's reference::
My other fear is that my kids will rebel by becoming Yankees fans. I tell DS all the time that he can be anything he wants, except a Yankees fan.
YES. I already crack up over DS who is only 5 but SO conservative and super OCD. DH and I are fully tattooed, liberal, free-spirited - he skateboards, I played roller derby...
DS likes his hair clean-cut, he hates getting dirty, and obsesses over every tiny little scrape he gets or if his socks don't fit right in his shoes. He's the coolest little nerd though and we love that he's his own person (as long as he doesn't join the Tea Party).
Me too! Especially one like the "time-out" girl.
My thoughts exactly!
I'm afraid Haley will grow up to hate me like I do my mom, even though I am nothing like her, that is my fear. I mean so far I haven't left her at home alone while I'm out partying or let someone beat the shiit out of her for spilling something but every time I raise my voice or feel like I was "too mean" I think about her hating me.
Same here! I have joked about telling Haley that they are vitamins so she doesn't actually know it's BC. I am terrified of that conversation "Mom I'm pregnant"
Maybe we need to give the potential DIL's manuals of our own on how life will be. hahahaha
