when my two kids (ages 9 and 7) were involved in a car accident with aunt, uncle and cousins. the news was unbearable and overwhelming TWo passengers were critical and one is so-so. fortunately my two kids were unscathed from that accident . I thought for instance that it was the end of the world..

First, that I accidently killed them, secondly that my partner accidently killed them, third that another friend or family member accidently killed them. That's closely followed by a fear of sexual assault. I have a daughter, and I guess it would be the same if I had a son too.
While pregnant I, like everyone else hope for a healthy child, or at least one with disabilities I can handle. No idea what I would do with a transgendered child, for example. I'm not sure if it's possible to get it right.

SIDS, I don't even have kids yet. I'm a teenager working at a daycare. It freaks me out so bad, when I'm holding a kid I stop breathing every couple minutes to make sure their still breathing. One of my teachers kids died of SIDS at a daycare, and I remember how sad the whole school was. I just don't think I could do that. I know you cant really stop it, and when I have kids I'm going to do everything I can to stop it (sleeping on their back, I'm not going to be around smoke, etc.) I'm glad your children were okay, I couldn't imagine getting news like that. If my nephew was in a car accident I don't know what I would do. Good question.

I would hate for something to happen to my children where I wasn't there to say goodbye or comfort them straight away. You must have been so scared when you got the news.
I also have a fear that the last thing I say to someone like my kids or hubby was not terribly nice which is why even though we might be angry with each other or something I will still give him a kiss and say i love you everytime. I just couldn't bear that my final words would be I hate you or something equally as bad.

My number one fear is that my child could be stolen by strangers. My second biggest fear is that he could get a fatal illness or have an accident. My third biggest fear is that he won't do well enough in school to be able to live a good life as an adult. I try not to dwell on these things because otherwise I would go nuts.

I am sorry for your losses and thank God that your children were ok.
I think there is no one greatest fear, but taking the scenario you have provided, I would think if I had argued with my child or said things that were unkind and they were killed in a car accident before I had an opportunity to apologize and show them my love, THIS would be worse.
Blessings to you and your family.

That's my fear that my children or grandchildren die before me!.. I have a son in the Navy overseas and a granddaughter diagnosed with MS at age 16!

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that ... I think that it would be definitely one of those things I would fear too... I also fear whether I would be a good mum to my kids...( Will I turn out to be one of those kind of mum that cannot connect with their kids?? Not be close to my kids??)

my biggest fear is to die while my child is still young.i want to know that my child is able to live on his own and take care of hisself.i know we all want to be there for our children. but i only have on child and a very small family and i don,t think my husband can handle it alone. there is no one in our family who could take on my child and raise him, he would go to foster care. i know there's good foster homes out there but there is also alot of abuse. i just want to live long enough to know my child can be independant. if my child where to die before me i know i will see him in heaven and god will take care of him until it is my time. that is my biggest fear.
