a little scared and sad
With everything horrible and wrong happening in the world right now (environmental, political, racial, sexist, etc) how are we supposed to raise our children? How are we supposed to let them out of out sight, or let them go off to school? Or a field trip? How are we supposed to reconcile wanting more children, wanting siblings for our babies with needing to protect our babies and being enough for them and giving them our full undivided support, attention and protection? I feel like I am in a constant state of fight or flight when it comes to my baby girl. I feel like I always have to be ready to grab her and run to safety from whatever new awful thing is happening in the world. I am trying so hard to focus on the here and now, on the beautiful moments and baby giggles and all of the people who love and support my daughter and me. But every time I read the news or open social media, my heart sinks and I worry about what kind of life my gorgeous, innocent, sweet 14mo is going to have...what kind of world will she grow up in?? Am I alone in this?
