As mothers we feel it is our responsibility to not let our children get sick and I think part of what we feel is guilt because they do get sick. (Did we not have them wash their hands, did we let them go outside without a hat or gloves or god forbid they don't have socks on their feet when in the house). My husband is more of a freak than I am when it comes to the kids getting sick; as a matter of fact, I am pretty laid back about it. Because I am laid back about it I then wonder if I am a bad mom. Fortunately, I have never had to deal with anything as serious as a pneumonia. I might have a nervous breakdown if that happens and will write for your advice if it does. Best wishes for a healthy 2009! I loved your article. As mothers we feel it is our responsibility to not let our children get sick and I think part of what we feel is guilt because they do get sick.

I really related to this being a new mom to a 13 month old.The anxiety that builds inside me everytime he coughs is like nothing I could've ever expected and then once he is over it, I feel silly for overreacting so much. Well, we live and learn, I chalk it up to the maternal instinct in all of us. Doesn't make us crazy, makes us MOMMY!! Wow, this is a great read and oh so true.
