what is ur fear as a parent .? not just the the i,m afraid some one will hurt my kids or a fire or something but more.u know the deep down fear we all have .mine is that my kids will end up like me wth my disability ..cant read,or spell and do much wth Thar lives ..i,m afraid it will make em have a Sukey life ..or thy will end up in trouble wththe law or in to drugs or drinking .or thy will end up being bad parents themselves.
I mite not be able to read well or wright well .but I have a mind that is truthfully a hart full of love .so please don't judge me on what I mite not be able to do !
I have teens...there's no end to my fear now LMBO My oldest is in civil air patrol...which is all fine and dandy. However she thinks if she can pilot a plane she can pilot my truck. I told her when she gets her leaners permit I'll get a VOLVO...an industructable tank of a car and put extra roll guards and air bags in the door. I'm afraid that girls mouth is gonna get her hospitilized some day. No fear of boys. As soon as she opens that yapper they get deterred easily.
I used to be afraid I'd die in a horrible accident and leave them alone in foster care. Sheesh now days I kind of wish I'd pass in my sleep so I can get some peace and quite LMBO I'm just kidding!!
I'm worried about becoming the kind of mom mine was (she bailed when I was 2, then in and out of my life, different guy every month, ect.) I'm worried that my ds won't be motivated enough to create a life for himself. That's not how I am, but thats how his dads side of the family is.
My fear is that my DD will view me like I view my mom. I love my mom, but I think she's overly emotional and kind of unstable, especially when it comes to men. She lets men dictate her world. I don't think I do that, but I do know I have some tendancies to be like her and I hate it. I wish there were things I could do to change it. My bf doesn't control my world at all. I know my DD will see some of the things I do as irritating as hell, and I'm ok with that,but I want her to respect me. I lost alot of respect for my mom over the years. Love and respect are two totally different thing and I hope my DD has both for me.
Second, Both of my parents died young, at 39 and 54, I'm afraid, for them, that something will happen to me too. I want to grow old and watch even my grandkids go off to college, I don't want my kids to have to experience losing their parents when they are still young.
I have a lot of deep down fears for them but I think those are my main two.
Being a first time parent, I'm afraid i won't know how to encourage her to reach to her full potential in life. I want her to be happy and have a very supportive and well mannered family, unlike how i grew up. I'm afraid that as a girl, she will develop low self-esteem, and i never want that to affect her. I will try my best to give her the best in life, but Ii'll always have a small fear in the back of my head that i could accidently steer her in the wrong direction.
I'm afraid I'm not being a good enough mom and one day I'm going to see them on Rachael Ray or the Maury Show, or maybe even DR Phil...LOL
Second Thought, maybe that's better than seeing them on "Teen Mom" or "16 and Pregnant".... or intervention and hoarders.....OMG.... the thoughts are getting worse.

I just worry that I'll raise her right. I don't want to be too soft on her but I also don't want her to grow up and blame all her problems on me being too hard...
