Wait till the baby is born.<br /> Think nursing is hard now? Wait till they bite and whip their heads.<br /> Wait until they can crawl.<br /> Wait until they can walk.<br /> Wait until they can back talk.<br /> Think it's hard now? Wait until they are teenagers.<br /> Wait til you have two.<br /> Wait til you have three. </p> <p>Oh, one of my favorite from my mom. "Think boys are easier now? Wait until they are into the drinking and the driving."</p> <p>My husband got one in the grocery store (I think a generic just wait til he is older) and came home all upset about it. I was shocked no one had ever made a negative comment about parenting to him before!</p> <p>I get wanting to warn people that the next stage might not be as easy as you think it will be. But those comments don't help. I think people are just trying to garner sympathy for having it tough, but one-upping people with your problems isn't the way to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1811395 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:42:55 +0000 Crystal 1811395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Just you wait" til you have kids and can't do x, y, z/ your opinion about xyz will change. </p> <p>We are trying, it's not happening. And your comments aren't helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1810811 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 06:56:38 +0000 getjazzy 1810811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get too many but the old favorite... "you better sleep now, you're never going to get a good night sleep again". Eff, hate that one.</p> <p>I've had a few "well you'll be turning the carseat forward soon anyway", especially from dealerships when we've been car shopping and I'm concerned about RF seat fit. Um, yes mister car salesman, I'm totally going to take your advice on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1810588 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:49:19 +0000 Arden 1810588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got soo many while I was pregnant.</p> <p>"Oh you are planning on extended nursing, huh? Just you wait until... *insert horrible nonsense here*". Yeah well, 17 months still nursing. Still loving it.</p> <p>"Cloth diapering?! I give you 2 weeks." 17 months, not one disposable yet. It's seriously not hard, why do people assume it's so hard?</p> <p>"You aren't spanking?! Wait until she starts slapping you/biting you/whatever." Um, she's done all those things and I've managed to deal with it without hitting or screaming at my kid. </p> <p>Now most of the comments are about not giving her junk food, no screen time, etc. Whatever, I think I've proven I'm stubborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1810582 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:42:49 +0000 avivoca 1810582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: I hated those.

Every single parent irl asks me how lo sleeps and when I tell them great they say just you wait until 4months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1810532 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:18:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 1810532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually get the sweetest just you wait comment today and thought of this thread. I was walking with C and mil and I said "I love you!" to C, and mil said, oh just wait until she can say it back. So sweet!</p> <p>But I get plenty of just wait until she is walking comments from other people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809988 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 15:01:20 +0000 alohaorchid 1809988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a mother and I'm not pregnant but I'm *so sick* of comments like... just wait, when you have kids you won't be able to go on vacation/out for dinner/shopping/work out, etc. Drives me insane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809887 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:15:28 +0000 Andrea 1809887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really think of anything. I know my BIL/SIL told us a few things that aren't true. Like how I would give up on daily baths once I had two kids (what a weird thing to say). Wrong, I bathe them both every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809866 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:06:10 +0000 Applesandbananas 1809866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: this.

Ugh.</p> <p>Also, I get comments about wanting more kids. We're starting to think about TTC #2 in a few months and everyone is like "no, you don't want 2 right now!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809783 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:27:39 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1809783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Just you wait until you have two...."</p> <p>Ok, working on it, thanks....! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809754 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:17:31 +0000 illumina 1809754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: @Mrs. Sunshine: same with the walking.

Your back hurts? Just you wait until baby is kicking your ribs in. You're tired? Just wait until you're almost 40 weeks/baby is born. Why can't I just be in pain/tired because I'm 29 weeks? I feel like it's valid! And that's just the pregnancy ones, I get a bunch about when baby will actually be here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809600 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:31:25 +0000 autumnlove 1809600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I agree! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-do-you-hear-just-you-wait-comments-about#post-1809594 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:29:24 +0000 avivoca 1809594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just you wait...until she walking!</p> <p>Just you wait...until she bites you, then you won't want to nurse any more!
