what do you worry about now that you didn't before you joined mnet?

[lucykate]

i'm finding now i'm paranoid about nits and threadworms. if dd sits still for a bit, i use it as an opportunity to have a root through her hair and worry every time i see her scratch her bum. i didn't used to.

perhaps i need to get out more

my lack of style

I worry that my kids are eating crap to often and that even though i try to cook it nearly always goes wrong and they dont like it.

Women getting battered

threadworms definitely!

also alot more consious of all the things that can go wrong in pregnancy, thought i was worried with dd but this time the panic is so much more specific... such and such happened to X so it could be happening to me, IYKWIM

recycling

I'm worried that Cod has flooded her loft and that CaliforniaFrau might spend all her dosh in US Craft Superstores

I worry that dp might not let me have a long enough go on the computer tonight

I worry about people I have never met and prob never will meet, complete strangers pop into my head - today was walking to high street and found myself thinking "I so hope that Emkana's baby is OK when it's born..."

Also worry about calling my son "DS" in RL, nearly did this in a children's clothing shop when having a conversation, almost said "oh yes my DS did that too"....!!!!!!

That my clothes don't come from Boden.

I worry about other MNers who are going through hell with abusive partners, court cases, serious illnesses, nightmare pregnancies, evictions and all sorts of other horrible things.

I worry about the crap Justine, Carrie et al are going through with she-who-may-not-be-named in the name of free speech.

I worry about the crap in ordinary milk as well ... it was a MNer who put me off the stuff and convinced me that I would only ever in future drink organic milk.

I worry that MN is almost RL to me ...

I want to nominate fiofio 'i worry for middle class' as quote of the week Made me LOL!

but I can't get on it through the homepage. Which topic is it located in anyone?

Trefusis, dandruff comes off if you flick or blow it, nit eggs don't :)

Compared to the shit some mumsnetters go through i think i worry less

my life is a breeze compared to jimjams et al

That when i settle down with boyf i'll end up nagging/moaning/resenting/doing everything myself/wanting to leave!

Conversely, i appreciate him a lot more since reading what horrible situations other ppl are in!

oh and i worry a lot less about how i am parenting dd, i have actually grown a lot in confidence in my ability etc. Reading about all different approaches/ideas etc has really helped to just accept that everyone does things a different way and nobody's way is the "right" or "wrong" way.

Have now read rest of thread (sorry ) and can second more stuff - worrying about ppl i've never met & them popping into my head during the day, and called dd "dd" too! I also really miss emoticons when i'm emailing or texting ppl!

I worry about noy being witty/likeable enough in mn. also with you franny - I want my DH off the computer now - Im actually working out how to fit my life around mn

god I worry about nits too...
AND I worry about leaving the chidlren in the car while I pop in the corner shop/petrol station, which never crossed my mind before. I imagine mnetters noting my reg no and calling social services....

parking in a m&T place adn being found out. it scares me it really does.

being caught in asda with a 20p ttowel in one hand ( thereby taking advantage of 3 year olds who sew them with their feet) and a packet of turkey twizzlers in the other.

Moloscums! I'd never even heard of moloscums till MN.
