I worship the ground my DS walks on and I don't know how to stop myself



I watched a video titled "To the love of my son's life" in Facebook - basically an emotional video with emotion prodding music, telling the mysterious girl or boy that I'm doing my best to make him into a lovely young man. One day he will want to spend his days off work with you, will want to spend time with you blah blah, but right now he needs and wants me".



Goes on to say how proud I will be on the wedding day and how I promise to love you too, for you are the person he's chosen, etc etc



I watched the video crying and then felt a sudden rage that one day someone would be stealing my DS from me!



One day I won't be the only woman in his life! (Providing he's straight)



Another woman will fill his heart with love



Is this how those MIL threads come about, from horrendous mums like me?



I think I'm a bit obsessed. I iron his vests and feel slight guilt if he's forced to wear one I haven't ironed. Even if you can't see it under his immaculately ironed things.



How do I get a grip?



I tell DH I can't have any more children, in terrible fear they won't live up to my magical DS and his amazing charms and looks.



I realise I must be quite unhinged but at least I have the good grace to admit it... I think
