So I’m not sure if this is true for every mother or it it’s just me but I think my level of sensitivity has definitely increased since becoming a mother when it comes to a lot of things, but especially when it comes to the type of content I consume. And while there are things I never really watched anyway (horror movies, for example), the list has definitely increased.

I literally cannot watch anything where kids are sick or getting hurt. I know that movie The Sound of Freedom is out and bringing attention to something very serious and that’s an amazing thing for sure, but I cannot see the movie. I’m not kidding when I tell you my blood pressure raised when watching Home Alone over the holidays- that scene where the mother is freaking out trying to find a way to get home once she realizes her kid was left at home? I felt that HARD lol, the sheer anxiety for her about did me in.

If the movie involves a kid getting kidnapped, killed, sick, lost, yeah- you can guarantee I’m not seeing it! I don’t know if I would have prior to having a baby, but ever since, I just can’t put that type of negative content into my mind. It really sends me spiraling.

Any other moms out there feel the same way?
