    Ergh cotton wool - the thought of it makes my teeth go funny lol!

    I don't really have any phobias but I'm not keen on heights or spiders and for some reason I worry that my family will burn in a house fire (no idea why - never had an experience of it!).

    I can't stand cotton wool either. I used to have nightmares about being wrapped up in it & suffocating! The thought of the stuff makes my teeth go funny too eeeew. My family & friends don't believe it's a real phobia & tease me all the time.

    I personally think it's awesome that you're childminding...in my area there is only one male childminder and he does such a fab job that he's constantly over subscribed with interest. Some female minders I know think its 'weird' however My view is if you're good at your job and you enjoy it then why not?!
    Keep up the good work Rick...

    Oh yes, it bothers me greatly that myself or someone very close to me will have the big C!

    My ex OH has it (Dd's dad) and I feel so sad for her that she will have to watch his gradual decline. Fortunately (or not, depends how u look at it) it a slow growing type so he could well have 10+ years yet but at this moment in time it's incurable.

    I have a fear of tidal waves ...

    don't live near the sea, never have ( apart from 2 years in Sydney ) but have been afraid of them for as long as I can remember. however, I deal with it and we do go to the beach, and I did live by the sea in Sydney!

    i'm not struck on slugs/worms/spiders either!

    I can understand your fears after the week I have had with one of my parents. I'm shocked at many parents attitude towards men. Personally I think we need alot more men in childcare. I employed a man in after school club in England and the children loved it, especially the boys from single parent homes. I also think the job would be taken more seriously if more men were registered childminders. My new partner is a carer for a lady with MS and the odd comments I've had from so called friends astounds me.

    I think we should have a massive campaign to encourage more men into childminding. Apparently according to recent news item on TV there is only one male childminder in the WHOLE of northern ireland, sad.

    Sorry to go off topic a bit. My major fear are birds, nasty things

    I think it's awesome that you're childminding as well. We have a male childminder a few streets away and he's totally fab.
    When I had my youngest Whois here and a half almost, I worked full time and my hubby stayed home to watch our son, h I'd this or a year and loved it. He was ace at it as well, but women at groups and stuff would tut tut such a shame as they had such a brill time together. Why should men take a more active role with children, they have so much to offer. The World is a different place than it was even 20 years ago and we need to embrace the positive changes..

    Im petrified of spiders in webs or above me. If they are on the floor then I'm fine..... weird

    I have a fear of them dropping on me and I don't go outside in the garden between August and October because of the ones that sit in their webs. I'm so frightened of walking into one and it being on me......shudder. It once took me half an hour to get out of the front door once because one had made a web just outside. I cant have any bushes outside because they use them to attach to and when Im walking down the road Im constantly looking for them. It rubbish actually because for 3 months every year I'm a jibbering wreck.


    I also don't like being a passenger in a car, makes me sweat and feel really nervous. Myself and Dh always argue in the car because I cant cope with just sitting there so I try to always drive. I like being in control
    Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
