Fear By Proxy

When I was a kid, my biggest fear was being kidnapped. I mean, who wouldn’t want this little heartthrob cooling up their house?

As I grew up and that terrifying two-part episode of Diff’rent Strokes faded from my memory, the whole kidnapping fear evaporated. Other anxieties emerged and receded through the years until I became quite fearless… provided I’d had ten beers and you agreed to no punches to the face or groin.

Then I had a kid. And I became fearmore.

parenting, dad and buried, parenting, humor, funny, mike julianelle, dad bloggers, mommy bloggers, gender, stressLike a lot of people, Mom and Buried has been freaking out about the whole North Korea situation lately, but not because she is worried for herself. She’s worried for our son.

One of the many negative side effects of having a child is how you suddenly become aware of innumerable threats. It’s like smoking really strong weed except instead of getting high and laughing, you just get ultra-paranoid.

Suddenly, stuff I’d never worried about, or had long since stopped worrying about, was causing me anxiety. And not just because I recently re-watched “Twin Peaks” (Bob is the scariest fictional character of all time).

Here is a (far-from-complete) list of stuff that – now that I have a child’s welfare and future to consider – has been harshing my buzz lately:

  1. Only people who don’t own guns fear them. A little know-how, judicious marksmanship, and a healthy respect for life cure that fear real quick! I’m with you on the Aspartame thing, though!

  2. I’m totally with you on this. And unfortunately, bees is my #1 too – I fear I might leave my son stranded in a parking lot if a bee comes near me. It’s ridiculous. Your last line cracked me up! Just discovered your blog and I’m loving the dad’s point of view. I love that you’re jokey because I’m more the sentimental-type writer. In other words, I’m better at making people cry than laugh, so you’re my comic relief.

  3. Don’t be a puss about guns. Get yourself and your wife trained. It’s your right and more importantly, your responsibility to defend yourself and your family. Start with a small Glock and a concealed permit class.

  4. Hello, I totally agree with you. But unfortunately, bees is my #1 too – I fear I might leave my son stranded in a parking lot if a bee comes near me. It’s ridiculous. Your last line cracked me up! Just discovered your blog and I’m loving the dad’s point of view.
