When they are small I think you imagine a future where everything is fine and there are no worries. But it doesn't work out like that.

Different generation they had other ways of doing things My mum was a mature mum when she had me the oldest and I was even older when I had my Dd so my mum was 67 when my Dd was born and had completely the opposite idea of how to bring up children to what we do
Either that or you are an :A and never gave your parents any reason to worry0 -

I think its more to do with technology now we have 24 hour news either from the internet or TV and hear more of what is happening either through social media and blogs than when I was growing up
Both my mum and I grew up during The cold war so there was the threat of nuclear bombs and the dreaded communists but I can't recall hearing as much from the news as we do now0 -
