Death. Me, my daughter, my family, my friends. Just death in general scares me.

My kids? Nothing, really. I can't think of a time when they've told me they were afraid of something (or acted afraid).

Me? Something bad happening to my children. I hate spiders... it's not really a fear, they just gross me out.

Oh yes. And blood! Needles, shots, anything that is medical related, pretty much.

I miss that show...
My kids don't like their closet door open at night and don't like the dark. I wouldn't say they are afraid of the dark but it makes them uncomfortable I guess. I leave their door cracked a bit and the hallway light on until they are asleep.
I'm afraid of heights. I can't even handling people TALKING about heights. I almost passed out once when a teacher was talking about being at the top of the empire state building.
I'm also a bit iffy in the car, I'm almost paranoid because I'm afraid of someone hitting me. It doesn't help that people cannot drive in this town.

I am afraid of the dark for different reasons, but mainly because I cannot see what is going on around me.

I don't think my daughter fears anything - once she said she was afraid of monkeys, but I think she was just kidding! lol

I am afraid of losing my family (my mom in particular since she is battling with cancer). And while I am not afraid of blood/guts, sometimes I almost pass out at the sight of it.

My daughter (17 months) is deathly afraid of the vacuum. She starts crying when I open the closet it's in. Seriously.

I'm afraid of losing people that I love.

My daughter doesn't seem to be afraid of anything yet. Sometimes she is startled by new loud noises.

@mamagiraffe - She also didn't like when the dentist was working on me.

Hmmm... My boys get scared if they can't find me. My youngest son is scared of the water - like in a swimming pool. For the most part, they are rather fearless. I am waiting. I think as they become more aware of things around them and the dangers in the world, they will have more fears.

As for me, I am very afraid of the dentist. The thought of having to go brings me to tears. Seriously. I'm also scared of someone hurting my kids and me not being able to take care of them. I get nervous in the dark, but mostly because I have night blindness and can't see anything!! My eyes take several hours to adjust to the dark and even then, I can barely see things. Not fun! Especially when the hubs likes to stand in one place in front of me and then grab me!! Sheesh!

Broken glass, crowds and fire, but mostly broken glass. Crowds and fire give me a lot of anxiety, but as long as I'm not around them for extended periods of time, I can usually manage. However, if I stumble across broken glass, I get nervous. If I have to pick up broken glass, I get really panicky. (I usually need someone else pick it up for me.) And heaven forbid if I break it myself... I have a complete mental breakdown, become catatonic and am out for the rest of the day.
I also fear abandonment and completely losing my sanity.
