Recently I spoke with two women pregnant for the first time. Into my head appeared an incident that happened some years ago
My daughter and I were traveling in our car. Simultaneously we saw a huge spider crawling across the back window. I pulled over at the bottom of the off ramp, took off my shoe, flung open the hatchback, and beat the spider.
I hate spiders. I’m frightened of spiders. But when you’re a mom in a car with a freaked out child, you don’t think much about those things. You just kill the spider.
I’d like to say to them… That’s what parenting looks like. So don’t worry so much! when you’re pregnant about being able to be a good mom,.Because when it comes down to it, when it’s about protecting your child, you’ll kill the spider.
