I was watching mindless TV, and saw a comercial for a show called The Secret Life of Kids.
The premise of the show is a group of 5 year olds are put together in a fun place with hidden cameras, and ¨child experts¨ watch and analyze their behavior. On the commercial they showed a little boy with glasses, crying in the corner and saying, ¨I just want to play with them, but they won´t let me.¨ Seeing this, I couldn´t even help it, I just started crying. I explained the scene to my husband and sobbed, ¨I...don´t..want... that... to be our baby!¨ Husband reassured me that it wouldn´t be because we are raising him to be kind, and caring, and helpful, and repectful, and accepting, and other kids will love to be his friend. I think I just hit the peak of my mom anxiety.

Melody, I can completely relate to this one. Ever since becoming a mom, I'm an emotional wreck. Everything worries me or feels sentimental or makes me cry.

Melody, you will always worry about your children, even when they are adults. The best thing to do is raise them in the best way you know how, love them to pieces, and the rest will take care of itself.
