Does anyone else think weird thoughts like this?

Question

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll even be alive to see my child as an adult. I’ll go down this rabbit hole of weird scenarios and then I snap back to reality. That just seems like forever away you know? 18 years.. a lot can happen in that time. And then I start to think about our country and the mess we are in and I just wonder what life will be like for her then. Like what kind of world she will live in. I hope for the best but it honestly gets me kinda down sometimes.

Answer

I think about things like this all the time, and Idk if it’s “normal” but I think it’s common for moms to worry about it. My baby’s father passed away unexpectedly while I was pregnant so it’s a very real fear for me but I think the best thing we can do is try to be as prepared as possible in case anything happens. I don’t mean be paranoid and freak out over any little scenario, but just things like having a will, life insurance, etc. We can’t control certain things but we can try to be prepared

Answer

I definitely catastrophize in my mind sometimes. The weight of parenting is no joke, especially during this unprecedented chaos of the world, right now.

Answer

Yes this often pops into my mind too. I'm not sure if it's normal but I use the thought as a reminder to take the photos (and include myself in them) and make as many memories for my kids as possible 😊

Answer

I think thats just mom brain lol. But i also think the world right now is in serious crisis and it is a very frightening place to be raising a child so your fears are normal

Answer

Yes! Alot actually, it scares the heck out of me at the thought of leaving my children. You always want to make sure they are safe and happy and not being their you can't do that, it's scary to think about. But I replace it with a positive thought or I'd just make myself depressed!

Answer

I have the same thoughts all the time, even while I was pregnant and now I just try and think about the positives, that she will be strong and find her place in the world no matter how that looks in the future.

Answer

When something new and horrible happens in the world we just look at her and go " well shit, sorry we brought you into this world kid" because she really didnt have a choice to be born🤣🤷‍♀️

Answer

I think about things like this too. Sometimes I have to just snap out of it and remember to enjoy what I have right in front of me ❤️ it’s scary facing the unknown with a child. Before I had my baby I hardly ever had anxiety and now that I’m a mom I’m so anxious about the silliest things. You’re not alone! I would say all the crazy/psycho things us moms worry about is normal lol 😂 just an instinct to do everything we can to protect our babies ❤️❤️

Answer

I think about this all the time but I try really hard not to because it saddens me to think I won't be here to watch her grow up and will leave her in a shitty world
