Guys I’m emotional 😢 I don’t want my babies to know the horrors and realities of this cruel world

Same!! My biggest fear is them facing addiction. I’ve watched my brother struggle for years n now that I have a son I realize how hard it must’ve been for my mom to watch it happen

its part of the human experience, theres no peace without war. we can do our best but some day they will be left to navigate life on their own & thats ok. i hear you its really hard but the positive is that there are more good people than bad.

I feel this!!! I’m terrified of school!!! As someone that was bullied terribly, for NO REASON at all other than my skin tone I’m scared she’ll experience the same and she’s so beautiful!!! But ya know the world. Too dark, too light, too ugly, heck too pretty!

Our parents lived this heartbreak and our grandparents and our great grandparents & great great grandparents before them & now it’s our turn. I just hope that we left the world in a better place for them. U can’t protect ur child forever bt u can just rely on what u taught them for survival to endure this cruel world so they can eventuallly find the beauty in all this chaos. Bt this is a fear for all parents before, now, and after us. This is just the nature of the game X. Hopefully we all teach future generations to do good so the world doesn’t have to be continue to be cruel :)

Seeing the U.S. go spiraling down hill now makes it even worse. I question my ethics/right to bringing a child into this terrible place. What I do know is that I want to keep my child protected from really awful knowledge for longer than I was because my parents’ fear of everything and constant obsession of telling me all the bad things that happen or could happen, have traumatized me. It’s finding the balance between keeping them safe, while not traumatizing them with unnecessary fear. It’s a very tough balancing act.

Honestly it starts with the parents.

I view raising children as a revolutionary action. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not”

I know how you feel my oldest is 16 and doing his own thing now I just hope I’ve taught him well actually scrap that I know I’ve taught him well. But the one thing I hate about motherhood is the constant worry it never goes away! 😭

Omg I think about this all the time. I see her pure joy and can’t help but feel sad too. Because I know one day she will face great pain.
