I have to agree with Sheri Ann, that spiders ARE scary!
As for your children developing the same fears as you have, that is certainly possible. But, as parents we will have to watch our kids face lots of challenges. Most will not be within our control. *IF* your kids develop an anxiety disorder, Yavonne, you will be well equipped to handle it. They will have a far better chance @ a more positive outcome because of what you know. Try not to *borrow trouble* as my gramma always said;) Good luck! (((hugs))) jan
I think being afraid of spiders is normal and I wouldn't be so hard on yourself about having passed on your fears. I mean, who likes spiders? They're creepy, crawly and gross!
Yavonne, my feeling is that it is *normal* to be afraid of spiders.
