Since UCGal and CE have brought it up, anyone else here feel an incredible sense of worry and anxiety once they had kids? Like UCGal, my family has been overrun by cancer, and I’ve lived with at least one of my parents having cancer (5 “deadly” cancers between them, plus non-melanoma skin cancers) since I was 13 years old.
I don’t ever remember being quite as worried about my own mortality when I was younger, but once I had kids, I’ve become obsessed with making it until at least my youngest’s 18th birthday. Been worried ever since I got pregnant.
