I’m the same. I also try and dress more visible / use daytime lights if I’m on the bike with my son and it’s even a bit overcast.
I’ve actually been feeling really anxious on my bike lately ever since another cyclist went to run a red pedestrian light that I was crossing on my dad bike, and slammed into my rear wheel. We also got side swiped in our car recently. I keep waiting to get hit or doored. The problem I have is I want bikes to be more common in my area for everyday type riding, but I’ve been lazy and driven a lot more, just adding to car traffic and having less bikes visible on the road. I made sure I rode to pick up my son yesterday. This morning I saw a lady on a Yuba Spicy Curry with kids seats on the back.

I also mean that you will adjust your riding accordingly. With kid in front I ride very very differently and select completely different routes.
