I also hate worrying. Does not get better when they are adults and now I have grandchildren to worry about. And I am only 43. A lot of worrying left to do…

Thanks for the post. I am scared to tears sometimes just imagining the different activites my son may get into one day. If he’s anything like his father was, Im in for a ride. The stories my mother in law have shared are … scary

Now that I have kids I truly understand what my parents went through… I feel sorry for what a brat I must have been.

Found you through SITS… definitely coming back.

I have to agree, Aimee. This roller coaster called parenthood definitely does not get easier as your children age. I also thought the independence that is gained through the years (for both me and my kids) would change everything. How very little I knew.

In reality, things are completely the other way around.

When my granddaughter gave birth to her baby, she called me the next morning and asked “Is it normal to worry if your baby will stop breathing?” I thought to myself; it’s already begun.

Your parents raised wonderful children it sounds like. I admire that.

Very true. I was just talking with my mother today about mommy worry. I hate to worry about the real terrible things because I worry it will be a curse or something. Thanks for sharing. Stopping over from SITS.

Absolutely! I don’t think I ever fully appreciated my parents until my own children were born. Now I’m sorry for the worries I caused them and just a little nervous about my worries to come…

I couldn’t agree more, Shelle. About six months into raising our little guy, it really hit me just how hard my parents worked to raise us. My respect for them and appreciation for their sacrifices grows more and more by the day.

It’s also really heartwarming for me to picture my parents doing with me the things that we do with with the Monkey, and feeling about me the way we feel about the Monkey. I knew intellectually that my parents did and felt those things, but, until going through them myself, didn’t fully appreciate the magnitude and significance.
