I too was born with that worry gene.

Thank you Catherine for sharing your worries with us so honestly. It makes us feel less alone and I think alot of people find great comfort in your stories and love you right back.

We all worry. Well, I worry all the time — if it’s any consolation. It’s great that we’re getting all this out in the open for other mother-worriers (if “mother” and “worrier” are not already synonymous…) to see and relate to.

I’m so glad that we were able to support you in your time of need last week. We love you, too…. You are such an inspiration.

The ‘don’t worry’s’ were key to my mental well-being. Sometimes a girl just needs someone to whisper, shhh, it’s gonna be okay, nuthin to worry about, shhhhh…

Angst. I feel your pain.

Not that I’m pushing drugs on you or anything but about a year ago I got on a low-dose of anti-anxiety meds and it’s made a world of difference.

I still worry that I’m a bad mom…but I don’t obsess over it anymore.

We are who we are. Learning to embrace the things that make us uniquely “us” is probably the hardest thing for a human being to learn. I’m still trying…really hard…to do so myself.

Worrier, hand-wringer, smart lady, sassy beyotch,feminist, hot mama…you’re perfect just as you are

this place makes ALL of us less anxious about our expectations as a mother…just knowing you are all out there trying the same things as i am, stumbling sometimes, joyous others…it makes it all the more OK. So, thank you.

I’m a worrier too. I think it’s common for moms who are worriers to overthink everything. I can’t stand what that one person said to you in your last comments. Really, if you never have another child, WB will be fine and happy and know she is loved. And if you do have another child, no matter when it is, WB and WB2 will be happy and know they are loved and had a mommy who cared enough to tlak about them all the time.

Love the pic by the way.

I’m a worrier myself, so I totally get where you’re coming from. And it’s YOUR blog, so you can worry here if you want to. Besides, even Anonymous has bad moments and worries, and if they don’t, they are a cybernetic organism and we should be looking for the microchip to destroy.

P.S. I love the WonderBaby pics.

I think you’ve got to ignore the one blogtard or “take you to task’er” or whoever the fuck it was and look at the other 89 supportive, awesome people here. Which is exactly what you seem to be doing. Huzzah for that.

When it comes to thinking about parenting, I think blogs are better than almost any other outlet (including discussions with friends, therapists or relatives.) It’s like we’re all in group together and can bounce off both the good AND the bad. The community is completely awesome.
