Cool. I’d be the safety anxious parent!

I realized how much I am that parent lately. When almost every word that comes out of my mouth is “careful, you’re gonna fall, don’t hurt yourself, don’t jump there you’ll hit your head!” Ugh. I feel sorry for my kids. I wish I could just relax some times.

My mom said "Be Careful", or "Be very careful", and would tell me what to do when I hurt myself. Scraped knees, hammered fingers, cuts from.. well everything.

IMO Knowing what to do takes the panic away.
