Or obviously they could be exactly the same as you.
I ask as tomorrow I am due to see 3 of my closest friends. We all have DC the same age (2.5-3) and 2 of us have 5/6mo olds too. We all share the same profession and have been friends pre-DC.
But they always (very inadvertently) make me feel neurotic about child safety. My DS is ALWAYS poorly and so therefore I do feel a bit more protective towards him I guess. However, for example, they think its fine to put the children in a trampoline, zip up the side and then wander indoors for a coffee. I can't bear to be stood there, waiting to hear the crying and dash out to find out who has bashed heads with who. DS was also severely hearing impaired and consequently speech delayed - so I can't rely on him telling me much.
One of the friends has left her baby to sleep face down on an adult bed too and they've rolled out. They didn't fall far admittedly but she just said "oh dear, bad mummy!" And laughed it off.
I always come away thinking I'm totally neurotic! Just wondered if anyone else the same or I'm an island!

Do your friends who are parents too, make you feel neurotic or careless ?
