The big things that worry about being a parent I’m all for voicing things that people don't talk about.
There's no point in me going what if someone hurts your child.
You just know there is someone more important than you now and you love em blah, blah, blah. Cliché. Cliché.
Everyone like, people without kids know that.
Let me talk about some dark stuff that goes on in your head when a baby's born, which turns out everyone experiences but no one talks about.
For some reason for those first couple of months. Every time the baby just breathes differently, like that your head doesn't go, ooh that's interesting. Your brain says it's dead. Every single movement is, my babies dying.
It's this constant - is my baby dead? Is it alive? What can happen to it? What if it drowns? What if it rolls off the bed? What if a dog puts its head in through the window now and eats it?
The constant stream of every horrible thing that could happen to your child goes through your head, till I realised that happened to everyone.
I thought I was losing my frickin mind.
So that's one of the worst things when you're a new parent is the brain from our caveman days and cavewomen days and cave gender neutral days, just short circuits and you start to imagine all these horrible things eventually it settles down, and you level out and then the small things start to annoy you like when it wants your attention.
As Russell explains, when you become a parent for the first time, your head will be full of all sorts of worries.
A lot of these might seem crazy, but guess what? You're not alone.
