Scared that I'll be too protective.

There's already so many things I know I won't do around my child and plan to keep my child away from certain things I'll do everything in my power to not let him/her see or hear ! places I don't want them to be people I don't want them to know!!!! OMG I get stressed out just thinking about everything bad in this world and how much I'll want to protect my child. But I don't want to be the crazy mom with the sheltered kid you know? Gahhhh

My husband keeps telling me I can't keep our baby in a safety bubble with all of my demands. He thinks some, OK, many of my demands are irrational so I do my research to backup why my demands aren't irrational. I don't feel so crazy when I find evidence to backup my protectiveness. Everyone keeps telling me that when I get to baby #2 I won't even care about 95% of my demands and I tell them to just let me be my protective mother self while I still care and not to try to take that away from me until (when/if) I'm ready.
