The job of a parent is to worry, worry, worry and then worry some more. It’s not easy in this day and age with growing civil unrest, economic strife and the looming health care changes in congress. It seems that the only job of a parent is to worry to the point of discontentment. Luckily, it is not as gloomy as it may seem to appear. For that reason, we’ve gathered five less-than-likely conditions to affect your children that should provide you a few much-needed moments of relief.
External Hemorrhoids – It’s actually a funny one to think about; although, there is nothing that is actually funny about the condition if you have it. It’s incredibly painful and affects every aspect of your life until a suitable
internal hemorrhoids treatment is found. Luckily, though, this condition is less than a rarity amongst children. Typically, it takes many, many years of poor diet and exercise to build up to an unfortunate condition such as this which means it is not likely for your children to suffer with it.
High Blood Pressure – This is another ailment that usually only comes with age. Like hemorrhoids, it takes years of poor diet and exercise and often a great deal of stress to lead to an issue such as this. While there are still many ailments that affect children, high blood pressure is not one you should have to worry about for your little ones.
Alzheimer’s – This is yet another disease of the aged. It greatly affects the memory but not only that – it also affects the way one thinks and behaves. While there are many thinking and behavior-related ailments that can affect children, all parents can rest assured that Alzheimer’s is not something they’ll have to watch their children go through in their lifetime.
Politics – While politics is not technically considered a disease, there are many who would argue otherwise. One of the most beautiful things about young children is the fact that they are uninhibited by the dishonesty of politics. Their innocence and oblivious natures are what makes them special and sweet. Instead of indoctrinating children to vote one way or another, it’s best to let children enjoy their childhoods and hold off the evils of politics for as long as possible.
The Plastic Surgery Bug – This world is increasingly concerned about external appearances. The plastic surgery bug is not only a trend in Hollywood but it is also affecting mainstream America. Luckily, children are still relatively naive and happy with who they are and what they look like which is why it’s wonderful to not have to worry about them getting bitten by the plastic surgery bug any time soon.
Indeed, there are several conditions that parents should rightfully worry about. However, there are still even more conditions that parents do not have to worry about concerning their young children which should give cause for rejoicing. The more we can find joy in matters concerning our children, the better off both us as parents and our children will be.
