I’m ruined for motherhood because my mom watched a lot of lifetime movies as a kid. I remember one scene from a movie that was on when I was walking through the living room- a kid is crying for his mother, the mother tries to go to him but the father holds onto her, apparently she’s been a helicopter parent and she needs to chill. Only this time the kid had something wrapped around his neck and he suffocates. That scene really burned into my brain. Luckily I don’t plan to have kids.

Still better than the anxiety at the start of “Terms of Endearment,” where the mom kept checking on her silent baby and mistaking sleep for death.
