Yes, I feel like it a lot, my son went swimming with the school this morning, and I dread the phone ringing in between 9 and 10 am, just incase something horrible has happened...its ridiculous I know, but I love him dearly and just want him to be safe...the only thing I do, is keep myself busy, if I sat there dwelling on it I would be thinking allsorts and end up in a state....so your not alone!
Thankyou lil75...I hate feeling this way but like you say its because we love them so much...She,ll be on her trip 9a.m till 3.30 p.m so makes for along day..Will try and keep busy and imagine thats she,s just at school like an ordinary day,Iv told her she as to take her phone and hide it in her pocket just in case...Oh woe is us parents x
No problem...nice to know im not alone!!! lol
It is a terrible feeling, but try and imagine yourself as a child on a trip, I did this this morning when I was worrying about my son...thought of what I was like when I went swimming with the school and I was perfectly fine when I used to go, I knew what I was capable of and what I wasnt, and was aware of dangers, as are probably our children...where is she off to on her trip...anywhere nice?

Concern for your child is perfecly normal - I worry about all my girls driving in this seriously icy weather, which none of them have experienced - and they are 33, 31, and nearly 20!
What you have to do is not let it become an obsession.
I know you know that you cannot protect your daughter for ever, she is going to make mistakes, get hurt physically, emotionally and spiritually, which is all part of life's journey.
You must learn to support without smothering, and trust your daughter to remember all the safety advice you have given her.
Remember, while you fret and worry, she is busy having a wonderful time, so don;t beat yourself up all day, you need to keep a sense of proportion or you will never be happy letting her find her independence.
Parenthood - who'd have it!
I would - and so would you, it's wonderful!!!

Yes I worry loads to the extent where it keeps me awake at night!
My 4 yr old went on a trip to the theatre this afternoon so she was at school all day and had lunch there for the first time ever! She was fine though and I'm sure your daughter will be too.
You just think all sorts of things don't you?

My son went on a 5 day trip to Normandy with his primary school two years ago.I worried the whole time he was away. I suppose I was lucky though that as he has special needs he had his SSA with him constantly so he was monitored a lot more closely than the rest of the group.
He thoroughly enjoyed the trip and was able to visit the War museum and cemetery,they also saw the Bayeaux Tapestry.

hehe, i understand its perfectly normal for a parent to worry for their children. and clearly many do . But can i ask do your children know how much you worry.
My mother is a worrier, and alot of the time it drives me mad ! honestly ! hehe.
She would say to me when i would walk to school the whole dont talk to strangers, chek the road 3 times, go straight there, talk everyday ! even today she does it !! haha.
The thing is, and research in my history coarse has proved that half the things people worry and think may happen dont. Just because its happend to one or maybe tow children within 3 miles of you doesnt mean it will ahppen to you or your child :) lol
but yeah its great to worry but make sure its not too much or you could drive your kid nuts !!!!!!
and just to say, when my mums worries finaly made me snap i decided to leave the house for 3 days without phoning . i just left a note saying i had gone out see you soon :P:) xx she did learn to give me space though hahahha :) i know harsh
