Parenting is scary.

Desiree
Something that scares me a lot about having a baby is doing it with my husband. I was raised by a strong, single, mom. She has four sisters and they're all very close and they are ALL strong, single, moms. I was raised by strong women who raised their babies when the men they chose to have babies with ran off and/or sucked. So....I'm confident in my ability to raise a baby without a man. It's what I grew up around. It's what I know. But I'm married and 8 months pregnant and I'm a little scared about having to share the responsibility. It's weird, I know. But it's like...what if I don't know how to relinquish a little control? What if I don't let my husband parent our child because I know what to do and what's best and he doesn't? My husband has been great and I'm so thankful that he is the man that I'm having a baby with. He's going to be an amazing dad. But I'm terrified of doing it with him. Whenever I was growing up and thought of having a baby, I didn't ever think of the man part. It was the norm for me. It's just something I'm scared of. Any advice? Any similar experiences? Thanks!
