I sometimes nanny for a family with a different skin colour to me and I'm scared that when I take the child out, another person of that colour is going to take the kid and say it's theirs in front of everyone and that i'm trying to kidnap their child and i'm like no, I'm looking after this child and no one will believe me and then I have to grab the child and run with loads of people calling the police on me...

anyone else have a strange unrealistic fear like this?

Aliens, UFOs, always that. It's been that same irrational fear since i was a small boy.

other than that, the next biggest fear is being homeless. just by some random thing happening, everyone in my family dying, and i have no money, just being totally penniless and nowhere to turn. i just end up alone on the streets with nothing. that's my second biggest fear. I'd kill myself.

That I am going to die and noone knows about it and Skye cries for days and days and eventually starves because of this. I have dreams about it and its awful :(

That's heartbreaking...

I always want to teach the child in the OP to call 999 if anything happens to me, but they are too young.

It's a horrible thought being alone with children sometimes...

Joker, that situation does sound scary, Caitlin!

I am scared of taking any type of pills regularly in case I get addicted and become some kind of junky. :bawling:

I am scared that someone will fall in love with my boyfriend and give us trouble..

do you think it's a rational fear? I can always see people staring at us when I take him to the park and I'm like 'i bet they think i've kidnapped him'

Nah, I think you are safe enough, I know a few people whose kids are mixed race or look unrelated to them but I don't think anybody would actually want to steal a child and especially not publicly, it all just ties down to the fact that you want the child to be safe and you want to feel secure, so this is the worst case scenario that you could be in.

when I was a kid I had a huge fear of being kidnapped during the night from my house. It would keep me up through the night, and every hour or so i would go around the house carrying a baseball bat making sure all the door were locked.

Don't you think when you are out with the child then people will just assume you are his mum and involved in an interracial relationship?

Rather than think you have kidnapped him? :laugh:


I don't think I have any weird fears just normal ones.

No because of the colour difference, it's impossible...

Otherwise yeah I would

Sleeping with my back to the bedroom door or when I'm having a nap on the couch facing towards it, not sure why though.. I must think some beast is behind me ready to pounce and take me to the underworld

Lots of the roads where I live have ditches running either side of them and in icy weather quite a few cars end up in them. I have the feeling I'm going to end up upside down in one and unable to get out of the car. I've even had dreams about it... I keep a hammer under the passenger seat in case I have to break the windscreen.

Whenever I'm at one of those red man/green man pedestrian crossings on a busy road I always have a weird fear that I could easily be suddenly shoved into the oncoming traffic while I'm waiting for the green man, or that I might accidentally step out in front of the traffic for whatever reason and get run down

Would never happen of course but I guess it's just the ease with which it could happen which makes me worry about it

That I'm going to be murdered one day - I'm forever reading about serial killers and murder cases as a sort of what not to do guide, how to avoid being a victim. This relates to my minor fears of answering the phone, going anywhere at night, dating anyone etc.
That I might drop my phone from a height or down a drain or something, as if that's the worst thing in the world.
That my parents will die any day now despite the fact they're both perfectly healthy, it's just none of their parents lived particularly long lives so I'm scared they'll drop dead without warning.
Daddy long legs are a weird one I suppose because they are completely harmless.

I have trynophobia, google it. It's like a fear of loads of holes close to each other.

I have a weird fear of animal statues, models and stuffed animals etc but only the big ones. There's a Pegasus statue near where I live that I can't look at without freaking out for example, I'm pretty much a nervous wreck in the Build a Bear Workshop if they have any of those lifesize bears around. I remember when I went to Florida and I was at the edge of a breakdown because they had loads of extravagant statues of Dragons everywhere and there was this big Model of Godzilla near our hotel, it was sf traumatic.

I'm also scared of masks, but only when they're being worn.

Or is this child like green or something?

the child is probably really black and caitlins white so the baby would be like a chocolate color not black black

It's not like mixing paint. :laugh:

You have to factor in ancestors too. A white person and a black person could give birth to someone who looks like a mixture, someone who looks more white and someone who's a lot darker. It's all down to genes.

The kid is probably black and she's white. If the kid was Mixed race then she could say the inter racial relationship, but if the kid is black then she would have to be dating this guy or something for people to believe it :laugh:

I hate the skin on peaches, it's makes me feel really cold it's horrible!
If I hear a bang far away I always think it's a bomb... think it's a past life thing haha!

My son used to freak out if you pulled the plug from the bath, even though he was too big to fit down the plughole :)
