am i crazy or is this normal?

Okay remembr when you first brought your little baby home and all of a sudden where you lived was home but not the home you left. It was a pointy edges everywhere place where babies r doomed? Well I know that's normal (esp with the first!). Well now my first is three and half and I have been staying @ home with him and my youngest now since he was born. I don't have free babysitting so we generally only get some when in laws come in town. I realized that everytime I let joseph go off with anyone (for example: my sister, my mil, my friends) I have a short mental panic attack that has to play out all the scenarios of "worst things that could hapn evr". We r putn him in school next fall but. . . I am alone or is this normal?

Yeah thats normal. When my sister watches my boys I freak out if I try to call and cant get ahold of her. I call AT LEAST once while they are with her. lol She is used to it.

My dh sometimes calls his mom when our kids go over there.  I guess I am happy to be able to relax that I will take any opportunity I get, lol.

My son is almost 5 and I still get terrified he's going to wake up in the middle of the night and go out to his dad's pond. My breath catches a lot thinking, "AHH HES GOING TO FALL DOWN THE STAIRS" or "WHAT IF THIS WIND KNOCKS THE HOUSE DOWN??" (they live in a log cabin-gorgeous!)  and then i think, "tiara. breath. he's fine." lol

I have a panic disorder, so I get that way a lot.

[MeninaBallerina]

It's definitely normal. The fact is that no one is going to care about your kid as much as you do, for the most part anyway. I barely leave my daughter with anyone, there is only one girl that I trust to stay with my daughter for extended periods of time and she is not even related to me lol.
