I’ve been trained to be paranoid

I’ve noticed so much that people with babies at home are more laid back. I used to be an infant teacher and we were pretty much taught to be paranoid and trained for the worst to happen. My daycare was strict.

So I buckle babies or small toddlers into high chairs and swings and bouncers and take like extra time to be cautious about everything and people are like “oh you don’t have to do that.” But it’s been so drilled into me after 5 years of daycare that my brain is like “BUCKLE THE BUCKLE.” Or for example I was sitting with my niece, had her in a high chair and I was coloring with her and I said I was going outside to call my mom back and they were standing right next to her but I took all the crayons even though they were an inch away from her because my brain was like “SHE WILL BITE THOSE IN HALF AND CHOKE”

Smh lol I follow daycare rules even though I don’t work there anymore 🤣
