What are the three things you worry about most?

My first child was in daycare the whole time I was working before his brother was born. I like his attitude now. I wish I would have kept my children in daycare. The daycare that my children went to was school based so they were taught all kinds of things in a school room setting. When I withdrew them from day care for my mother in law to watch them it seemed like my second son did not learn anything like my first son did. I wish I would have just kept them there. Maybe he would be ahead and not need speech therapy because someone was working with him at all times in day care and not so much at home.

I agree bills are a huge stressor. It always seems like when we get one bill paid off and are feeling a little more relax some other huge bill comes up. It's never ending at times. That is awesome that you are going to school for nursing. And I understand where you are coming from when it comes to wanting your children to be raised right when you are away. I've thought about similar things like this as I decide if I want to take classes in college. If I do decide I would be the same as you. It's hard to decide who to let our watch our child and how they will be raised when we are away. I have a lot of things that I don't want my child to be influenced by and so it would be a lot to find a person to watch my child consistently. Don't give up though. Your going to school is a great thing. And I hope that your mother in law is giving your children the guidance that they need. Relationship problems are a huge issue. They had stress like you wouldn't believe:). We've deffinitely had our share. Hang in there and keep working at it. One of the keys is not to give up and continually work at it. There's always room for improvement and if we are willing to work at it then there is hope. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

That is a very good way to do things. If you don't stress about your life ut actually helps you. stress causes to many health issues and other problems. We all have to try and just deal with things as they come. We will enjoy life more this way.

I believe in living life without any stress.

There are many many things we can worry about. I hope that all goes well with the settlement for you. I think as parents we will always worry about our children no matter how old they get. We love them dearly and don't want anything to happen to them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Worrying can be overwhelming at times. I hope though that soon you are able to be content and happy again. As you strive to make these big decisions in your life enjoy your life. I know it's not always easy especially when things aren't turning out like we would like them. But most of the time it won't always work like we envision. But if we can be flexible and have a better outlook it helps a great deal. You will find love it will probably come before you expect it. So enjoy the time that you are single. Relationships have there ups and downs. But while you are single you are free to do and accomplish more. So work at all those goals you have while you have the opportunity. And although we can't turn our worrying on and off like a light switch we can work to control it so that it doesn't control us or run our lives. Thanks so much for sharing.

You have a lot of worry on your plate as well. Money tends to be a concern for a lot of people. Especially when we don't have much. It's a good thing to be concerned about your girlfriend. That is very sweet. You want her to be safe, and you don't want her to get hurt. I hope that you have been able to reach the weight that you are happy with. That would be a lot to deal with when you were always so small and to gain that much weight so fast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

These things can cause a great deal of stress. I think as long as you keep working at these things to improve them if only a small amount at a time you will feel a little better. When are doing all that we can to improve our situation then we know that there isn't much else that we can do. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think good parents generally are concerned with the welfare of their children. That in fact is one of the reasons that i did not want to have children. I didn't want to raise my children up in this horrible world. There are so many people out there that are wicked. So i agree with you keep up your guard about this. It's important as parents that we are aware of dangers and protect our children from them. Financial problems i think are annoying:) it seems that they are always there for us normal hardworking people. But don't give up, keep trying to save even if it's a little it will add up in the end. Saving can be hard. That's a goal i'm working on : save more and spend less. It does take discipline.

I agree we worry about the same thing. It is so important for us to take care of our family that we tend to think a lot about this, and ways to improve. So many marriages are ending in divorce and we aren't immune to the stresses of marriage and everyday life. Our children are our world and they tend to know this :). If we are doing our best and working hard we don't have to be overwhelmed with these stresses.

Financial problems I agree are a problem for most of us. It always seems like there is some type of bill that needs to be paid off. It does get very frustrating. I'm sorry to hear that your mothe is having some health problems. Hopefully the doctors will be able to figure out what's happening and help. Try not to overly stress yourself about who will take care of you in the future. That can be a heavy load if you think of this often. Just continue to help and take care of your family and hopefully when that time comes you will have a loving family member who will be willing to take care of you.

I think that we tend to worry a lot about our family. Family members are very dear to us. So when they are experiencing hard times it's natural for us to be concerned about them. When their trials are perhaps something that we can't take away but would love to if we could that can even cause more worry for us. In such cases as this we tend to feel helpless. I hope that in regard to your sister that her situation is able to improve, if not her feeling your love and support will help.

There are so many things to be done in a day. I often wish there were more hours in a day but then I'm sure we would just fill up that time just as fast. I understand wanting to do things to the best of our ability. Like for me one thing that I aim at doing and improving better is meal planning. I enjoy making new recipes. So that takes more time and effort to find different items and plan it out. It's something that I enjoy doing but have to work harder at it, in order to have it planned out consistently before the week starts. I feel so much better when I get things done that i've planed. Don't give up on reaching your short and long term goals. Work hard at them and you will be so happy when you reach them

I think it's natural for those who deeply care about their family to want to have a good relationship with them and have it last. I know that's what I want in my life. I feel these are some of the most important things in life.

Yes, it seems you have a lot on your plate and so much to carry out. Wanting to work hard and do our best is a good thing. There are a lot of people who don't care if they work hard or not. So you keep working your very best and always look for ways to improve and you will be an asset. I'm sure your parents understand with your career and the distance it takes to get there. Just strive to make time for them as much as you can and they won't feel like they are neglected. I'm sorry to hear your cousin is sick. I hope that he/she will feel better soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.
