When I first had my daughter at 20 years old, I thought it would be a piece of cake. I thought I’d have this cute little mini-me who I could dress up and show off. Although she was this cute little angel I could play dress up with, being a mom was so much more than that and I would soon find out just how difficult it was.

Becoming a mother made me worry and overthink everything! My daughter is now 11 and I also have a 4 year old son. I worry about them and their safety everyday when they’re not in my sight. The crazy world we live in today will have us worrying about everything! I worry so much about my children to the point where I have bad dreams. My biggest fear in the world would be something happening to them.

I know you’re thinking I shouldn’t think like that but seriously moms, how could you not!? Unless we’re with them 24/7, we cant possibly guarantee our children’s safety. I recently read an article where a mother and a son were both sleeping in her bed and two shots came through her window killing her 5 year old son and wounding her. This was so crazy to me because they were just sleeping. That’s it! Sometimes we have absolutely no control over things sometimes and this is why being a mom will always be scary to me.
