Ever since becoming a mom...

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I have this weird new... fear, I guess, every time I get into the car w/ DD and drive someplace. It's ridiculous, I wish I'd cut it out. I'm afraid someone will hit us, or we'll fly off of a cliff (What?!), or spin out of control (it's not even raining yet...) etc. I usually remind myself to cut it out, but it's always kind of in the back of my head :|

 Anyone else gain any 'new' paranoias or fears after becoming a mom? I really hate feeling this way, I hope I can chill out!! I love driving so it's really annoying.

    This is so me.  I hate driving with DS in the car.  I don't even go that many places with him either.

    I also have terrible fears in the car when my kids are with me.  It sucks.

    I hate it, but I'm also glad I'm not alone here.

    Ha ha, I lived in Berkeley in my 20's, and used to fear driving off a cliff even though I had no baby!

    I always fear tripping and falling with her.

    We'll driving in Cali will lead you to thinking about flying off a cliff! Not cool. I have all kinds of effed up morbid paranoias cuz really sh*t does happen, I just hope it doesn't happen to me. That's pretty much all I can do and of course be a cautious driver.

    For me, it's not driving...but I have a serious fear of burglary and/or kidnapping.  I check the locks to the house numerous times a day even though I know they are locked and we live in a safe neighborhood.

    You are actually lucky that you don't have to deal with the snow.  It barely snowed here last week and I was driving like 20 miles below the speed limit.  I was so scared.  Oh and DS wasn't even in the car yet. lol.

     Ahh so you must know about my infamous highway - 17. I have to drive over that at least once a week (used to do a daily commute for work before SAH...). When DD is in the car on Hwy 17 I'm soooo paranoid :)

    This is me all the way.  Total fear of kidnapping.  I check the locks all the time, and the windows.

    Also, I have a weird fear of DD falling on her head, and I worry when I'm driving, too.

    I have a fear of falling down the steps with him... every morning when we go downstairs I see us toppling in my head- I am sure this has everything to do with the fact that we did fall down the stairs once but the fear was there long before it actually happened

    YES!!!!  It's started to snow here, and I was driving so very slow...I felt like I was 80.  I'm glad I'm not the only one!
