So I feel a little over worried after I started working after I became a mom. Randomly I have these though that how bad thing will happen. For example: “what if I come home and there has been a robbery” or “if the kids go out side for like two seconds will they get kidnapped” or “if I look out for the twins with my oldest walk off somewhere“ “if I die with my husband we ok enough to take care of the family” It goes on and on with tons of different scenarios. It started when I was the one working and my husband was the one home. You would think I feel they be safer at home with there dad but I don’t. Don’t get me wrong, he is a great father and I know he would do anything in his power and then some to keep them safe. The feeling is there. I even feel the same about putting them in school, worried that the teachers for bad or the other kids bulling my tiny people. I blame all this one being a mother that is away for uncertain amount of hours a day and way too much tv. The first year after the kids were born my husband and I where terrified of sids (sudden infant death syndrome) after that had pass I was totally fine till I started working. All I ever heard the the joy and beauty of being a parent but no one said anything about the fears that come with it, but you know what? I would change it for the world. I learned that these things are completely normal as a parent and never really goes away even they our kids are adults. I deal with these strange thoughts but talking to my husband and see how his day is going, and lucky for me my kids are a little to young to go to school I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
What are some of you fears that you feel is a little over the top? How do you manage it?
