Aibu when I was growing up my mum and I had a mental list of people to be wary of and stay well clear of I grew up and the list grew and now I'm finding im making a mental list for my son I feel bad but safety is paramount and I won't let my son leave my hip will he grow up resenting the lack of freedom or be glad I sheltered him...... has anyone else made a mental list with there kids my boy seems to be adding people to the list that he's not comfortable around so he gets the idea of it all by himself thanks Mumsnet (oh and no your a crappy mom comments ) cheers
