@dreamermom, I love this , great point ! Definitely using your words next time I hear this BS.

I figure I'm raising my child to make a difference in this world not contribute to the chaos! So by raising my child right, I might actually change the world for the better... our children really are the best thing we can do for the future!

@brbsmomma, i give it a lot of thought too, but then I think when has the world ever been great? If only it's slightly getting better with just small steps at a time. If our parents did it we can too 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Honestly, I used to feel this way. Sometimes I still do. It's not necessarily dramatic, my anxiety gets the best of me sometimes. I think about who our president is, and global warming, and the horrid daycare stories or the ridiculous Facebook videos of other parents abusing their children and I just get stuck in this mindframe of what kind of world will my daughter grow up in? Will she survive in the apocalypse? Like I know these thoughts are ridiculous and I tend to be a logical person but sometimes my anxiety runs away from me 🤷‍♀️
