Twoply 0 #1 February 23, 2009 So I was sleeping, and I heard a odd noise and it's coming form the boy's room, but from the outside. I immediately determine that it's somebody trying to come in and steal my son. Upon further inspection, nope, just the umbrella flailing aroudn in the wind. I told my mother this and she just nodded her head and smiled. WTF? Smiled? I thought she would have understood how scared I was, but here she is nodding and grinning. Jeez, am I parent?

Radiance 0 #3 February 23, 2009 You're not alone. I've heard noises late at night after my daughter's gone to bed and been convinced that there's someone in the crawl space above her room getting ready to attack her. I've actually gotten up in there to prove to myself there's no one there. We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

lawrocket 3 #4 February 23, 2009 Ah, yes. The perceived threat. Hypervigilance. I am smiling in assent. Boy, my mom didn't know anything when I was a kid. It sure is amazing how much she has learned since I had kids. It's like she actually knows what is going on now. My wife is hotter than your wife.

steve1 5 #5 February 23, 2009 You'll never quit worrying about your kids. Life truly changes when you become a parent. My oldest daughter is approaching thirty. I worry about her every day. My Mom is approaching 85. She worries about me, all the time. Your mother is probably smiling because she knows what you feel....And the truth is, I wouldn't trade being a parent for anything.

caress 0 #6 February 23, 2009 In this day and age dude, your not crazy. I would rather be safe than sorry. I dont put anything past demented- messed up people at all. There are sick freaks in this world, you do know that, right? I wouldnt trade being a parent for anything either. Your mother is proud of you, that accounts for the smile. My parents were deaf as posts, both of them because my window was my door after hours. But we dont live in that time anymore Twoply. -Caress I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
