| For me, it is my 1 year old's horrible nap schedule and making sure she sleeps a couple hours during the day. I can spend an hour just getting her to go to sleep! She has black circles under her eyes--it's that bad! |

| I obsess about getting him accepted into a good school. He is almost 2 years old. I scare myslef with what I am going thru to accomplish this feat. I hope it is worth it. |

| I obsess over what she wears. She is 6 months old and grows out of her clothes so fast, but I can't help but spend hundreds of dollars on her clothing. She is by far better dressed than me! I think her outifts make her look cuter, too. |

| I want my son to do well in school-he's only 15 months but I still think about his education all the time. I'm also big on nap time (but flexible), and eating vegetables. |

Intense in the education department...
Not choking. That he feels happy and secure in this world. |

| Safety. Develop Self-esteem, confidence and maintain it. |

| I worry that she is an only child and that she will have someone to turn to when she is older. |

| Now that I've read all the posts-I worry about more than what I thought. Self-esteem, happiness, being an only child-also think about these a lot-add that to education, naps and vegetables! One more-being a good mom. I worry that I'm not a good mom, even when I try to be. |

... let me add the issue of her being the only child. |

| Nothing really. I just want him to be happy, healthy, independent and confident. I don't stress about education because he will get a good one because we will send him to a good, well-rounded public school and check his homework. I guess in that dept, I worry most that people/schools/parents will still be as insanely competitive as they are now. Makes me so sad that children don't have much a childhood these days due to worrying about college 15 years down the road. If my kid gets into the state school, that is good enough for me (of course, MD is my state school and I probably wouldn't even get in anymore....thank god I got that over with years ago...) |

| Sleep (both naps and bedtime), and clothes that don't reek like spit up. I sometimes change my son's clothes four or five times in a single day. I cannot handle him (or me!) stinking of curdled milk. |

| I am obsessed about her hurting herself as she learns to walk. I follow her around and quickly grab her at the sign of any wobble. |

| 12:23 here - I forgot something that I do worry about alot, I guess. I worry about him choking. Not so much now that he eats so much better, but he had an awful gag reflex. He is sick now and sometimes coughs so hard that he chokes. Its just awful. |

| The education obsession is a little over the top. I grew up in the country, went to the local state school (there were no other schools and no one had a choice!) A good number of us ended up at top colleges and ended up working as lawyers, doctors, bankers etc (not that that is any measure of 'success'). Schooling (certainly under the age of 10) just isn't worth being obsessed about - waste of energy! |

I do worry about their education. We can't afford a private education and the schools where we live aren't great. We are really going to have to stay on top of it.
Other than that, I worry about them being happy, productive, responsible members of society. I hope they have good friends and self confidence. |
