Comments on: Freaking Out, Part I http://youdamom.com/2006/10/18/freaking-out-part-i/ Tue, 14 Oct 2008 05:34:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Michelle http://youdamom.com/2006/10/18/freaking-out-part-i/#comment-53 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 09:22:38 +0000 http://youdamom.com/2006/10/18/freaking-out-part-i/#comment-53 I think it's normal to worry about the safety of our children. And you're right, toys aren't often cleaned or checked when they're used by loads more children - what I did was bought my son his own little ball pit and balls and he can happily throw them around my living room all he wants. He gets to enjoy himself and I get to know that what he's playing with is safe. I think it’s normal to worry about the safety of our children.

The media trys to freak us out about things and I refuse to let them. I try and be sensible about things and I listen to my mommy instinct. Turn off the tv or at least stop watching the news.

I try to not freak out about these stories and really want to be a casual mama that doesn't worry about my kids safety as much as I do. I skeeve out on the ball pits and douse my daughter in anti-microbial hand wash the second she comes out of those places. I've turned into a complete nervous wreck since I became a mama and try to find a balance but it's damn hard. Thanks for commenting on my blog.

I have yet to see one. Anyway, I try not to be over-protective. I look at it like this, during my pregnancy I was very careful, yet my son had a stroke. I try to live life believing that what is going to happen does; no matter how well/poorly we prepare ourselves. Good luck with striking a balance :) Do they really still have those ball pits in places? I have yet to see one.

(and believe me, I have much work to do in this regard) ugh.
