I am a new mom and I don't know if I still have postpartum depression but on occasions I think about my child getting kidnapped or falling and dying and me seeing the whole thing unfold but it only happens maybe a couple of times a month. I am really scared about telling the doctor.

Do not worry as a first time mom I think that is very normal to feel, I remember the first time my son slept downstairs in his crib (my room is on the second floor and is the only one on the second floor) and I kept thinking about people breaking into his window or a fire cutting me off from him or about a million other worst case senerios, I do not think I slept for the first two weeks he was down there.

I also had these fears. My kids rooms are on the ground floor and I am upstairs. I always worry about a break in or a fire. My son used to always run away from me, so I always had visions of him being hit by a car and killed. He doesn't do this any more, but now I worry about him breaking a bone or something. You will always worry I guess, but as they grow, you will have different worries.

I am so happy that i am not the only one that has/had these thoughts..i thought i was crazy. I still think that my kids are going to get kidnapped or get really sick..but as far as the question goes...i would say that i want my kids to be able to fit and find their place in the world.

My main concern, as well as my husbands, is the future of all children. How the world is and how our country is ran, it saddens me that our children with have to deal with issues like we do, but it will be worse for them, I fear.

I have a background in Planning, and knowing what I know about the environment, I wonder what it will be like by the time that my son grows up. Sprawl and large lot subdivisions have threatened wetlands and water resources to the point that many of the species that depend upon them are dissappearing, like salamaders and frogs. We are all connected. Wetlands resources are critical to the continued supply of clean air and water. Basically, if froggies are a thing of the past, what's next? You may think it is a silly concern, bu I wonder what is the world going to be like in 20 or 30 years? Will the next generation have enough of the basic resources to sustain themselves?

We all need to be concerned about the moral direction of our over sexed society, especially for those of us who are trying to raise little girls. Today's society seems intent on delivering adult oriented information to our little ones. It's a scary policy oriented agenda that gets worse with every generation.

I'm a firm believer in the Lord and He will keep my children safe. They will make mistakes and learn from them like I did, but overall they will be just fine.

I worried about the love and support. We don't know our destiny, so we don't know what can hapend. I hope my daughter feels loved and supported al lher life to give her strenghts to do whaever she wants.

My worry isn't really for the future, it's for the present. We recently moved to a completely different part of the country. I'm worried that my 6 year old son won't fit in and find his place in this unfamiliar territory. I know that he's young and more able to adapt, but he's having a hard time.

I worry about all of it but I mostly hope that they both find spouses that are good to them and supportive.

They're in Gods hands... my worrying only steals time away from them now.
I'm more concerned about what the world around them will be like as they grow up.

I just want my kids to be happy, have fun, and be safe. Think before they do things! Thier are consequences to everything --- good or bad!
