What do you worry about?

LorMor · August 2014

When you're lying awake at night? I'm not talking about abstract "what if..." kind of worries, I'm talking about the sore gut kind of worries.

If im a good mom. What if I am completely ruining my kid? What if I dont give her enough freedom? Too much? What if some creep grabs her off the street?

I also worry about what kind of America she will grow up in. Its going to be faaar different from the one I grew up in, thats for damn sure.

Money (even though DH says I shouldn't and he's mostly right), DS1's behavioral issues, not giving enough attention to DS2, feeling like I'm screwing up my kids during this deployment, losing weight, feeling guilty if I didn't eat well or exercise that day.

@mambonumber5‌ you've mentioned the growth of your baby before. Has the baby been officially diagnosed with a growth problem? We'll just in case, page me if you need support or information as dd was an IUGR baby and only 4 pounds at birth. So your post makes me sympathize with you. Take care.

everything! Money, if I'm a good enough mom for Wesley, work stuff, my dog, the cars.

Money mostly. And work. Like, should I be making a change and could I hack it, would it be a bad decision for the family, etc.

Well I pray that your little gal had a growth spurt and that she is back on track. Still, let me know if you need any information once you get a clearer picture of what is going on.

I worry about work/research deadlines.

I also worry that my husband and I don't share a bed. He sleeps in the spare room. At the moment, it's what works best for us, because one of us always (supposedly) gets a good night's sleep when T has a disturbed night, but what worries me is that we were going that way before T came along - I'd be woken up by his snoring, and my breathing kept him awake. It makes me sad that I don't share a bed with my husband, but I also do prefer sleeping alone.

I worry a lot about SS, too. Like, his social skills and grades and If he will turn out like his mom. And I don't mean that in an evil stepmother way, I really do worry. His mom has a shit load of issues, that's why he lives with us, and when he behaves in ways that remind me of her, I feel sick for him, because I don't want him to end up troubled like her.
Thankfully I think most of his issues are just being a douchey teenager, so I try to accordingly not make a big deal.

Money. I have no idea how we are going to cope with an $1800/month daycare bill in addition to a mortgage and car payment. No...fucking...clue.

@mambonumber5‌, please keep us posted. I've been thinking about you.

To everyone who worries about whether or not you're a good mom, let me save you some time and anxiety — You're all *fantastic* moms. Please don't waste another second of your life or sanity doubting your abilities.

I think about everything that happened during the day and over analyze everything.

@CK2MD‌, what's wrong with your husband? I must have missed something.

Money. How to spend what we have wisely. If I'm ruining my girl by too much tv (even though it helps mommy stay sane, and we read and play a ton.) If I should work more hours. If we should really have another kid- what if they suck and aren't as awesome as Emily?

You know, my take on this is that an insane parent will do way more damage in the long run than some television. Although the jury is still out on how all those Law and Order:SVU marathons have affected Henry.

My Husband and I sleep separately in the summer time. He loves to have the fan blowing right on him when he sleeps. I hate the fan on and it keeps me awake so like bandeddie we sleep seprately and come back together when the weather cools down.

Rachelilly23 · August 2014

Add the fact that I now don't know when DH is coming home to the list

Long story short: He may get extended 2-4 weeks. Hearing that was like taking a bullet.

I constantly worry about Norah since she has gross motor delay... Along with that I worry about $ because our insurance won't pay for therapy. We have a grant to cover some but eek. Pt is $$.

I am trying very hard not to worry about anything else.., but a new boss at work makes it hard to not worry a little even though 1st impressions are good ! I've let a lot of my other worries go. I just don't have the energy.
