Living in MN all my life, I am used to experiencing snow storms so I don't get overly scared about driving in them. However, I do cautiously drive and I do worry about my loved ones driving in the snow. Why- I don't know? As I was driving in a snow storm recently with the kids I started to wonder if females are natural born worriers?
As I pulled out of the cultisac that we live in our tires spun a bit and it jolted the van a little. Isabelle immediately said in a scared/worried tone, "Mommy, be careful" and without hesitation Jacob chimed in with "No, don't be careful- go fast."
So, do you think females are born to worry? Is it what God intended? Is it a form of caring? Is it a sin? Are males natural non worriers?
I think women are more nurturing by nature. I never realized how much so until I had children. Ben has a perfect driving record and I often used to complain that he drove too slow. But recently I found myself saying, "Slow down, you've got your wife and kids in the car!" =)
ReplyDeleteI would not consider myself a worrier, but being a mother I've struggled more with trusting God for the well-being of my kids. I think maybe that nurturing nature may cause us to become "worriers" if we don't watch out.
