Worry in the life of a mother….

.

How many worries can a mom fit into one day?

If you’re not a mom – you can’t possibly imagine. It’s amazing the crazy things that run through your head on a daily basis.

Moms are so stressed all of the time;

Does my fetus have a genetic disorder? Is my baby eating right? Is my child safe with that babysitter? Am I doing enough to make sure my child will do well in school? Are we putting enough money away for my child to go to college?

...and then the thoughts get a little crazier….

Will my baby grow up and run away and join a circus? How would I react if my son grows up to be a drag queen? What would happen to my baby if I suddenly died in a freak accident like being hit by a toilet seat from a space station?

…and sometimes the thoughts are really serious….

Is global warming going to kill off my grandchildren? How do I protect my daughter from rape? Will my son join the military and die at war? Will I die before I see my baby grow up and have children?

Worry can paralyze you - it doesn’t surprise me at all at the number of mothers on “happy pills.” When you hear a mom say, “My kids are driving me crazy!” you have no idea how true that statement really can be!!

Go call your mom....
