I'm just looking for a little reassurance I guess, just to know I'm not crazy or the only one. Is anyone else insanely protective of their kids? Especially over your pregnancy? I feel like now that I'm a mom my first thoughts are always - How does my child view this, how does this affect my child's wellbeing, how does it make my child feel. I feel it more strongly during pregnancy because even though the baby isn't here here I still worry about its well being and how others actions are affecting them in utero or not. I know that anything someone puts me through affects my baby and I'm just trying to keep things as chill as possible but people all of a sudden are overstepping their boundaries and I'm not having it when it comes to my kids. Am I just being overprotective?

So far the one I mentioned is great. Gives a great point of view. Secrets of the baby whisperer, Peaceful Parent Happy Kids, No bad kids, The Five Love Language of Children, No Drama Discipline, Brain Rules for Baby are a few I am looking into. @lilchicken
@preggerstone, what are your favorite parenting/ baby books?
I love books! I have more suggestions to. ;) I am on the same boat and always have so many worries but reading things help me at least. My little one is only 4 months and so many things go through my head.
@preggerstone, thank you I'll have to check it out, I've been looking for a new book to add to my collection :)
you are not crazy as a mama bear you should be protective of your babies from conception tell the day you die... that's my opinion anyway and people should respect you for being an awesome mama
It only becomes over protective if it affects your child. You can create fear in your child when there is no need to. I had an over protective mother. Just be careful not to stop them from experiencing things even if it may have a risk(falls, failing grades, emotional). I know I struggle with things but know I have to let things go in order for them to learn. It's so hard being a FTM that's for sure! I have read this well listening to this awesome book called The Conscious Parent and love it.
@mamabear1416, thank you for understanding, people were making me feel like I'm crazy to be so protective of my babes.
no you are being a awesome mama and I'm right there with you
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
