Yesterday it hit me how scarey this whole parent hood thing really is!

DD is 3.3 years so maybe im a little bit late with getting scared, LOL
Ive just moved to a new area and we got invited out to this childrens day thing with a new friend and her daughter. Im not judging at all, its each to their own but i must say that our ideas on parenting are polar opposites and the things she does and encouranges with her little girl are certainly not for me. But thats not what scared me, but what did was the realisation that i wouldnt always be able to protect her from things i didnt agree with, and that she will have to go into the world and deal with all these outside influences and all i can do is hope that ive given her the skills and self confidence to deal with these sort of things and to believe in herself.
That is very very scary indeed.

I know, and that exacally whats scarey. Ive never really thought of things like that before and it just took me by surprise how scared it made me feel.
DD had a lovely day though.
