I can't watch anymore

I am working from home today and have the tv on as background noise. It's an episode of CSI where a baby was left in a hot car.  Prior to becoming a mom I would watch something like that and think that it's sad, but now it actually makes my stomach drop and I feel sick thinking about things like that.  Anyone else have a harder time watching things post baby?

    Yes!!  It started after I had my first.  I can't watch Dateline anymore and if I do, it's only when the story is about a billion-aire whose wife murdered him or something that I can't really relate to.  Also, I have to watch it during the day because, I don't know, I'm scared of the dark too Stick out tongue

    My DH loves scary movies; however, that is no longer a realistic date night option for us.

    Oh, I totally understand.  Over Christmas, some of the songs on the radio having to due with children would make me cry.  Not good since I generally listen to the radio while driving.  I never cried at all until I got married, then rarely cried until I got pregnant.  Now, I cry at the drop of a hat.

    Reading poems/stories that deal with infant/child mortality is really hard for me. In my Intro to Poetry class, we read "First Death in Nova Scotia" by Elizabeth Bishop (in which the speaker of the poem, presumably Bishop, is 6 years-old, and her little cousin has died). I got the lump in my throat/voice cracking thing during the discussion.

    Things like that are soooo hard for me now. Yesterday, we discussed the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, who have been protesting every Thursday for 35 years because the government "disappeared" their children, and I got all choked up.

    Me either - it's so sad to watch stuff like that. Last summer I had a horrific dream that I left B in a hot car. It was awful.
