Scary Mommy, I’m learning how to deal by talking it out! Sometimes I may offer insight; sometimes I may be so way off the mark about motherhood. I was raised by my father while my mom worked. She found motherhood super scary and she admitted it to me in my adulthood. Work was easier for her!

I worry about EVERYTHING too. How I wish I had appreciate those worry free days before I had children. It’s just never, ever the same! Motherhood is the scariest thing ever.

I agree…Camden is 4, has never been left w/ anyone except me & Dan, but now the past 2 mos preschool, THATS IT! Not even my mom has watched him alone…I can count 3 times Ben, 6, has been left with someone other than us & school!! I work my schedule around my kids & don’t feel the need to go out without them. I try to do all my errands by myself or with 1, the EVIL younger one, cause I know its more of a stresser workout with both…..PLUS mine love to play…..nothing better to me than an afternoon outside while my boys play & I can choose to do some yardwork or just plop in a chair & read while they enjoy themselves….HOUSEWORK can wait!!

Many a night we have quick-n-easy meals w/ a veggie & fruit along side, everyone is happy! Thats all that matters!!!!

I don’t know if I’m out of line for feeling connected to the stories -fact and fiction- of motherhood, but I am. I listen to all the planning ahead anxiety, the not wanting to take 2 kids out at once etc and I’ve found that I’m that way now AND I don’t even HAVE kids yet! I guess I’m trying to see all that is involved so that I can prepare myself.

We have been talking kids recently. My husband said something that struck me so he could test my readiness for kiddies. He said that I should “realize that having children doesn’t mean you can have all the attention anymore.”

Frightening, yet exhilarating, right?!

But how can anyone NOT be controlling? We’re the protectors of our babes! We must! Scary Mommies, UNITE!

I do the run errands with only ONE thing too. The mere thought of taking them all to the grocery with me makes me want to shave my head with a cheese grater.
