Worry guts

I think it depends on the AC. I tend not to worry about my middle one as he copes so well with everything that is thrown at him but the other two - definitely.

I could worry for Britain. I worry about my adult children who seem to be (luckily) far more carefree than I am. I sometimes have to give myself a good mental shake or I could spiral into anxiety.

It is said that we can only be as happy as our unhappiest child, whatever their age.
It certainly applies to me. I am sure my mother never worried about me, but my father did. He also got a spot on his nose when worried!

How true and it’s so worrying. The worse thing is you/I/one can do little to help and just listen.

A mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child. ?

I’m exactly the same OP.

Me to. DS going through some medical treatment at present and I am on tenterhooks until it is all over even though it is straightforward I hope.........

I have been known to worry for a week about a problem my daughter has told me about only to be told ‘oh that, I sorted it ages ago’

You're definitely not the only one.

If I could be paid for everytime I worried, I'd be a billionnaire. I worry about the trials and tribulations of my family (and this year there have been some corkers!). I worry about my cats when they are ill, but the most consistent worry through adult life has been over money.

You describe me 100%

You are not alone. Sometimes, to save our sanity, it’s best not to know what’s going on in their lives ?

Perfectly normal as far as I’m concerned.

I think it’s normal in the best way possible to want your children at any age to be happy and to worry if they aren’t. It shows you’re a great mum Jen67patte

Yes, you are not alone in this. I'm mostly ok, but if anything affects the children or grandchildren then I slide down into deep worry spirals.... you know the feeling...

I’m not alone then!!
It can literally effect me for days!

Oh definitely me. I try not to worry when I can't do anything but it's very difficult!
