I never had kids, but at a guess, I'd say if you weren't at least a little bit scared of being a parent, you probably aren't taking it seriously enough:P
Fresh, you are still very young (I don't mean that in a patronising way) and judging by some of your posts, you seem to be still figuring out some of the fundamentals about yourself and who/what you are and want to be. Not that we ever stop trying to figure that stuff out, but late teens and early twenties are, for a lot of people, the most crucial periods of self assessment and development.
I think a lot of the things that seem frightening when you are at that stage, and haven't yet built your stable base, seem much less frightening when you are a little more sure of yourself and where you are going.
