[…] was hard packing with a mobile baby - he got into everything imaginable. A few of you may remember Sam eating the zipper. I thought we’d learned our lesson from that incident but nooooooo. Today Hubby and I were […]

If you’re a mom you understand exactly what you’re talking about, and I worry more the more I get tired.

[…] Scary enough for you? No? Well, I’m sending in an old archive post to Scribbit’s Write Away Contest, which I have never entered before even though I’ve always wanted to. She has prizes too! And the topic for this month is: Things That Scare You. Very few of you will remember this one since it was one of my very first posts from back in the day. […]

I can completely relate to this. It seems that at every stage, mothers have a new fear to deal with. My son is currently 14mos so my #1 fear is that he will choke on something. The other day I found him with a coin in his mouth. We try to be really careful not to leave change lying around but somehow he found this. It’s so scary.

And the REALLY scary part is that I know this mommy fear won’t end anytime soon. I can only imagine how scared I’ll be when he gets his driver’s license.

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I have Mommy Fear a ton too. The other day, after turning my back on him for just a second, I turned to find Cam trying to go down the stairs face first. I grabbed him and didn’t want to let go! I’m hoping it will ease up with the next child!

I remember having that fear with the first kid, but I relaxed considerably with the second and third.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I like your style & will be linking your blog so I can remember to visit again.

Yep, that “Mommy Fear” is a real tough emotion. I can remember some of mine as if they were yesterday. Like the time my daughter fell from her booster chair and hit her head on a concrete floor (fear of brain damage) or the time she and her cousin got lost at a botanical garden (fear of a perv). That was a long 45 minutes in my life. Seems like most “Mommy Fear” is seated in feeling like we are not doing a good enough job. But we are. You just can’t anticipate everything that can happen.

I don’t know if “Daddy Fear” is the same, but I don’t think so. At least, men would never admit it if it is.
