Anyone else get anxious about their kids' future?

I'm sitting here at 2am unable to sleep because I keep thinking about whether I'm doing enough for my kids. Like am I saving enough for college? Are they getting enough exercise? Will they be okay when I'm gone? I know this is catastrophizing but I can't seem to shut my brain off. My wife says I need to talk to someone about this because it's affecting my sleep and probably my mood around the family. Anyone else deal with this constant worry?

The soccer schedules and homework never stop, so the anxiety is pretty normal. Try to focus on what you can control right now instead of spiraling about college in 15 years.

I'm up at weird hours too with three kids, and yeah the worry about doing enough is real. But you're here at 2am thinking about their future, which means you're already doing the work that matters.
