[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 409136, member: 1514"] I think this is a problem even for parents of so called normal kids. Or at least I know I do it with all of mine so I maybe I just have no reference to what is normal. I immediately go to "oh gosh, what is wrong? what did/do they need now" mode. I know if I dont know where Cory is or if I dont hear from him for more than a normal amount of time, my first instinct is that he has gotten arrested. It is always the first thought that goes through my mind. Never that he is hurt, never that he is stuck somewhere. Just arrested. With Billy I worry that he has wrecked the car and is stuck in a ditch...lol. Now why I wouldnt think he would call immediately since he never goes anywhere without that cell phone I dont know but I constantly worry. Im much better about Jamie because he isnt in my face constantly. I also am a constant worrier about Tony if he isnt home exactly when he should be home. If he is even so much as 15 minutes late, I start to worry. Did the van break down, did he have a wreck, did he get pulled over? Normally its nothing to worry about at all. Some little hiccup like they ran a bit late leaving the job but all this is why we have two cell phones but half the time Tony infuriates me and forgets his phone at home and then I could strangle him! Thats about the time when his phone goes flying at him when he walks in the door and I start my rant about why are we paying for two phones if he isnt even going to use it...lol. [/QUOTE]
