A paranoid mother

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

As my little boy grows up and has quicken his steps from just walking to running, I have more to worry about. When he starts to seriously climb the stairs and furniture, I can't imagine how high my worry level will shoot up to! Is there a maximum limit of worry or is it infinite? It's torturing to always worry about the boy hurting himself.

We've tried as much as possible to baby-proof the home. We installed those soft rubber corners on tables and the tv stand, put away breakables and make sure he can't reach any sort of chemicals we store around the home.

We can only try to be as careful as possible. When he's at the babysitter's I also worry about how he may bang into sharp corners or fall off a step or falling as he runs. It's endless and I know it's crazy to be such a paranoid mother. I just can't help it! Maybe over time I will get used to it and be more relaxed. Do you think it's true? Can a mother ever stop worrying? I doubt it...
