Also from close friends. I don't understand. Aren't all kids different? If I keep waiting, what if it never happens??? I just try to ignore it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340919 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:52:22 +0000 wheres_c 340919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: THANK YOU for that!

You're going to love parenting and have a wonderful time! God, I hated, HATED these. So condescending and sad. I found that they said a lot more about the people saying them than my actual experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340542 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:27:43 +0000 ladyfingers 340542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm already getting it in re: pregnancy. "You think you're having trouble sleeping now at 24 weeks, just you wait." "You think you're sore now, just you wait." Yes, thank you. I am aware that pregnancy is 40 weeks long and I will indeed get bigger and more uncomfortable. Does that mean I can't complain NOW? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340515 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 21:51:43 +0000 JessicaMcB 340515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time and mostly from my mother, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340469 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 21:12:25 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 340469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get it about mobility. "Just you wait until they start crawling/pulling up/walking/whatever you're in for it then!" </p> <p>Dude, it's not such a big deal, the kids are way less whiny once they can go places! </p> <p>I also got the "You won't sleep through the night Ever. Again." Ever? Really? People love to be negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340447 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:45:29 +0000 Springtime 340447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all the time, usually from moms with older kids! its annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340398 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:46:41 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 340398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People can be so rude - I totally agree with the idea that people are just projecting their frustration on others, or trying to seem more experienced or something. I just smile and nod and ignore as best I can... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340390 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:36:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 340390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got those all the time. So many of them never came true. Wagon Jr. never developed stranger anxiety, never stopped sleeping thru the night for whatever reason... I think a lot of parents say these things to project their frustration of their experience on others! And of course to warn them. :) I sometimes catch myself doing it and I have to stop myself. I always try to tell people "...but your kid might have no problem with this! Don't stress about it until it actually becomes a problem, otherwise you might stress for no reason at all." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340170 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:59:58 +0000 photojane 340170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all. the. time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340165 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:54:13 +0000 littlebug 340165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, constantly. It's so annoying. I agree with @shopaholic: it's like they're trying to discourage us from having kids. You annoyed the sh!t out of us for 3 years to get pregnant, and now that we are you're going to try to convince me how terrible it's gonna be?! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340159 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:49:14 +0000 Andrea 340159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: DH's brother is always telling him these things so you're lucky!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: And yes, not everyone is a miserable parent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340155 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:46:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 340155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you're very lucky!<br /> It is so negative. I just think it is a short way of saying "get your head out of the clouds---you're life won't be errrr than mine." I think parenthood and all of its struggles should be welcomed with "it'll be so worth it" and "these are the best dad of your life" instead of negativity.<br /> And by the way: it's usually the miserable people who say it and they almost ..wish it on you! (that's the vibe I get) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340152 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:42:58 +0000 mrbee 340152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People don't say this crap to dads. Or at least, to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340147 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:39:31 +0000 Andrea 340147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, they aren't even true. A few examples: </p> <p>Just you wait, your house is going to be a mess and over run by toys - false. </p> <p>Just you wait, you'll never have time to kick back and read the paper again - false. </p> <p>Just you wait, you won't be able eat at restaurants anymore - false. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340145 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:36:04 +0000 jedeve 340145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom when I for pregnant would say, "I told you it was terrible. You didn't listen!" What?? Was I not supposed to have kids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340140 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:29:58 +0000 JessiBee 340140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Thank you!! We need more new moms with THIS kind of just-you-waits!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340133 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:23:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 340133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessiBee: just you wait - your sleep after baby could be better ;) I was averaging 4-5 hours a night from months 5-9 (in ~45 min blocks). I get 4 hr blocks now with baby! And no hip pain :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340129 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:20:07 +0000 JessiBee 340129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ME TOO. I hate them. New parents are the worst offenders that I've seen (how quickly we all forget!), since I'm pregnant, so if I even mention having trouble sleeping while pregnant (or getting up in the middle of the night), I get LOTS of just you waits. As if I don't know?! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340116 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:07:31 +0000 shopaholic 340116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG YES!!! Even from my BFF and it gets SOOOO annoying! I want to say "are you TRYING to discourage or scare us from having kids?!?!" And it's often the people who have been trying to get you to have kids for so long in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340113 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 13:58:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 340113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god, everyone. So annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340091 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 13:33:41 +0000 serendipity 340091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: LOL! I get it from everyone! Friends, family and even moms of patients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-a-lot-of-just-you-wait-comments#post-340086 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 13:31:44 +0000 autumnlove 340086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get my fair share...mostly from family and good friends with kids.</p> <p>Just you wait, your LO's sleep will go to crap when the baby comes.</p> <p>Just you wait, she is going to develop stranger anxiety soon!</p> <p>Just you wait, there is no way you are going back to work after you have your second.</p> <p>Just you wait, you think you are tired now!?</p> <p>Just you wait, you will beg your OB to tie your tubes!</p> <p>Just you wait, you will regret not trying a VBAC!</p> <p>Do you get "just you wait" comments? </p>
