Question

What is your biggest fear as a parent?

Answer 1

Mine is passing away before they are at least 18 I lost my mom when I was six years. Even though she was addicted to drugs I still never got the chance to know her and every day that hurts my heart so much. I had a good childhood thank god but I wish I would have had that mothers touch. I want to raise my own kids and the fact I could go before they are old enough to take care of themselves is very scary.  

Answer 2

Any harm coming to my child, loosing my child. . that sort of thing  

Answer 3

Not living for my daughter,

i am obese and diabetic, my fear is i will die an eary death and leave her in this world alone.

I choose to live for my family, i have lost 10kg and loosing more!

Answer 4

so many!  The negative aspects of her parents characters coming out in her is a huge one - and her dying or being hurt is another.  And any man hurting her when she grows up is another.  If she dies, I'm going too though, I already buried one child.

Answer 5

seeing them suffer..and not knowing that they have a good way around with life,if they could make it or not.

Answer 6

My 10 year old has been in six car accidents - three in school buses and three in cars that were struck by other drivers.  I'm always nervous about him getting in a car or bus.  Can you imagine the daily stress?

Answer 7

losing my children. I want them to bury me i never want to bury them...

Or  seeing my children in any pain its heartbreaking

Answer 10

I have lived through a Parents Biggest Fear, my 9 year old son drown several years ago...I have 3 surviving children, I have to be careful not to Hover to much and allow them to grow normally without to much restriction...I am very Protective, but I work on NOT being OVERLY-PROTECTIVE.

Answer 11

I agree with the answers above me..I dont want to lose my children or see them get hurt, or maybe see them suffer on a very rare desease and be on medication for the rest of their lives or sometimes only survive with a machine,, that must be excruciating for parents to see their children suffer and we cant do anything to help their life a lot easier..

Answer 12

Losing them. Ive seen people go through the heartbreak of losing a child and I never want to go through that.
