Remembering to live in the moment is the best antidote to self-induced fears. After all, aside from being cautious and minimizing risks, choosing to live with joy and gratitude is all the control we have in our relatively short existences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778052326711091014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30449131.post-48965090660427192542010-09-07T14:48:57.182-07:002010-09-07T14:48:57.182-07:00In my opinion, the most difficult part of this com...In my opinion, the most difficult part of this completely normal fear is not imposing those fears on the children. My kids think I'm the most paranoid freak that ever existed. Meadow wants to know why I don't want her to post her school schedule on Facebook. Well, um, sweetheart...most of the people out there just plain don't need to know that kind of information. <br /><br />Not to mention all the crazies out there that were at least a lot more incognito when I was a kid...Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707737527101259629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30449131.post-50216676184445899382010-09-02T21:50:02.010-07:002010-09-02T21:50:02.010-07:00I do this all the time.

My poor daughter gets poked multiple times a night just so I can have the satisfaction of seeing her twitch and know she is ok and breathing.Rachel Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050119457229635051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30449131.post-60196635893816559132010-09-01T07:39:56.706-07:002010-09-01T07:39:56.706-07:00That's funny, as a kid I always pretended to b...That's funny, as a kid I always pretended to be a princess of whatever I was afraid of - princess ghost, princess vampire, princess monster - and then all the other ones had to do what I said. So then I didn't have to be scared anymore. :)<br /><br />It doesnt work as well now that my fears are more abstract, unfortunately... but it is reassuring to know that pretty much every parent has the same fears.Addiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153216335301807876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30449131.post-70117827677764966922010-08-31T21:27:59.668-07:002010-08-31T21:27:59.668-07:00Someone somewhere said "If you are afraid of ...Someone somewhere said "If you are afraid of the dark, be the scary thing that lurks and you will find it not so scary". I guess if you apply that theory you'll end up with a bunch of strange babies in your house and eventually in prison. Welcome to parenthood!
