Sometimes my kids are out late at night driving with friends. I worry myself sick about them, but thankfully everyone has gotten home safe and sound. However, I still worry because of all the people out driving late at night who may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or just speeding. Do you worry about your loved ones when they are out late at night driving or do you assume that all is okay and that they will get home safe? I do say a little prayer each and every time they go out and I know it will be a late night.

I do worry about my son, he is 19 and his girlfriend lives about 30 to 40 minutes from us and I worry when he takes her home..There are alot of hills here, and deer crossing the road..I am relieved when I hear him come in..

My son is eighteen and his new girlfriend lives about a twenty-five minute drive away on a not-so-safe highway. I breath a sigh of relief when he walks in the door at night.

I am afraid of the dark, so this is a very big issue with me..I know he is a good driver, it is just the other people and animals out there that scare me...

When I am worried I pray for my loved ones. It is hard to feel bad when your spending time with the Lord!

oh, i worry myself sick. as we are beekeepers, most of the work takes place at night. my hubby sometimes has to travel up to 300 miles to move the bees to food for them. especially in winter. i hate it but its his passion. i shall wither away without him. i even worry during the day.

It's very common for you to have such worries. I feel the same like you. When my family go home late, I will be worried, too. I'm afraid of any accidents or crimes happen to them. So I usually go to sleep when they are home, otherwise I can't even fall asleep.
