One friend says she not happy with me because I am always a good 15-20 minutes late to everything ever since having a baby. Apparently packing a kid, his stuff, and driving him through terrible snow just seem super easy to her. Um, "yooouuuu just wait, honey!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580800 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:25:12 +0000 MrsTiz 580800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not there yet but I hate hearing that . That's a good way to piss me off lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580338 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:17:11 +0000 googly-eyes 580338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee that's actually kind of sad that someone would be complaining about that...it's a break!! I stopped working right before finding out I was pregnant (grad school and for now I SAH) and thank goodness because the 1st trimester was so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580333 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:15:10 +0000 googly-eyes 580333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54 As it should be!! I think expectant parents deserve a little blissful ignorance as I think @running elley said! It's part of the process. And all expectant parents I think have goals and a little bit of what they hope to do or not do.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580332 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:15:07 +0000 Weagle 580332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! I have a couple of friends with LOs just a bit younger than mine that I say it to often (in my head!). The worst is people that don't have kids. Sorry, your gear recs and parenting tips don't really count. Holding a baby every once in a while does not equal being a parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580312 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:09:46 +0000 heffalump 580312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!</p> <p>I had a friend rant to me while I was pregnant about how their pregnant coworker took a nap during her break at work and how unprofessional that was. I was like sorry, I can't be on your side on this one. When you're pregnant you're sooooooo tired! And she just kept complaining. </p> <p>I also have friends who were pregnant and kept saying things like "My LO isn't going to watch any tv." "And this was coming out of the dad's mouth.... not the mom who was going to have to stay home with the baby and entertain him all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580036 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:01:15 +0000 2PeasinaPod 580036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I cringe just thinking about some of the stuff!</p> <p>@googly-eyes: This was one of my big ones! And DH's too! We both said no thumb sucking. Yeah right! Now we root for him to find his thumb and self soothe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580024 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:57:03 +0000 Charm54 580024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate when people say that to me. I want to enjoy my pregnancy and I know life won't be perfect afterwards, but I try to live on the positive side of things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-580011 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:53:45 +0000 Bao 580011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579976 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:45:57 +0000 heartonastring 579976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really try not to, but it's hard. Everyone's experience is different though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579964 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:42:32 +0000 SAHM0811 579964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I totally think it and try not to say it. </p> <p>but because of that, it doesn't annoy me if someone says it to me... I get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579929 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:36:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 579929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep . . . but it's my little secret. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579906 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:32:03 +0000 Smurfette 579906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579904 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:31:55 +0000 googly-eyes 579904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ .twist. Oh yeah I've had gear opinions from several w/ no kids...like yes I have an unlimited budget let me go get that.. Even for those who have been pregnant, every pregnancy is so different!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579893 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:29:52 +0000 .twist. 579893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: oh yea! lovely! haha. I know someone who's never been pregnant or a parent and they like to tell me about how my body is changing during my pregnancy and what gear I'll need. Ok, I'm so glad you know what my body is doing right now better than I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579886 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:29:01 +0000 googly-eyes 579886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. pen off topic but I have no idea how people find the time to work out and get their old bodies back... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579870 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:26:51 +0000 googly-eyes 579870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ .twist. Yeah the one story that really pops into my head is when someone told me that I shouldn't hope for LO to find her thumb to self soothe and I shouldn't give her a paci... I was like, ok, when you have a baby, you are free to let them cry without it or lucky if you don't need it but I'm not doing that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579865 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:25:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 579865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg allllll the time... one of my friends just posted on her blog about embracing her changing pregnant body and the excitement for getting her body back... and I'm like just you wait hahaha... so mean I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579862 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:25:18 +0000 Running Elley 579862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I agree! It's definitely easier to just let people be blissfully unaware and enjoy the moment that they're in instead of having to start to worry about the next one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579861 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:25:16 +0000 .twist. 579861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I totally feel embarrassed about things I probably have said in the past! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579854 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:24:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 579854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I think DH and I are at like stage 1 hahaha (not even TTC yet) so everyone probably wants to say "Just you wait" to us! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579852 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:24:04 +0000 googly-eyes 579852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@running elley...the other thing is that I don't want to steal people's excitement since nobody stole mine and it made the TTC/pregnancy part so exciting and happy..they'll get there so why bother saying it right? But I still can't believe I even THINK it these days since I'm still so NEW and clueless about parenting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579850 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:23:54 +0000 Dandelion 579850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I think it, but it would offend me if someone said it to me, so I don't bother with sharing with them, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579848 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:23:35 +0000 2PeasinaPod 579848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! All the time to myself...but I never say anything. I think about how I must have sounded to some people and I'm so embarrassed! You just have no idea until you're going through it!</p> <p>@mrbee: I'm so afraid of having #2 for this reason too! I enjoyed pumping rather than nursing b/c it was easier for me, but it certainly won't be with a LO running around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579845 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:23:17 +0000 .twist. 579845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have. I don't usually think it about the average person, only when someone who's never been in my situation starts spouting off advice or how-to's. Then I really roll my eyes and think "we'll see when you're there!". Never would I say anything though but I definitely think it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579843 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:23:06 +0000 autumnlove 579843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I never say anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579837 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:22:11 +0000 Bookish 579837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I try and keep my mouth shut. My sisters are 20 and are in a very different life stage than I am (in college, casual dating, part-time jobs, etc) and some of their comments on my pregnancy have been hilarious and infuriating! They just have NO idea what it is like to be pregnant, or to even want to be pregnant lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579835 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:21:57 +0000 Running Elley 579835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it all the time. I never say anything though because I know that when I was at that stage it would've annoyed me to no end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579832 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:21:03 +0000 googly-eyes 579832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee I imagine those with more than one LO have LOTS of those moments!! I'm terrified of having #2!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-think-just-you-wait#post-579823 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:19:43 +0000 mrbee 579823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yah, but I never say anything!</p> <p>I'm also pretty nostalgic for how much easier things were with just one kid... I rarely say anything though. And I never ever say anything to other parents with more kids than me either! Wouldn't want to force them to "just you wait" me in their heads (or out loud!). </p>
