I hear a lot of comments about having two girls.
Just you wait...they will be best friends!
Just you wait....they will hate each other and fight!
Nothing too bad! 
You might also enjoy...

Boys.
All boys!? Just wait until they're older! What a handful you have!
blech. Kids are handfuls, doesn't matter the sex or age or quantity.
-
Right now it's about moving to the suburbs...
Just you wait until your commute/landscaping/whatever consumes your life.
Just you wait until you can't have whatever kind of take out you want at all hours.
Just you wait until you miss all those bars and restaurants near you.
GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
-
I can't think of anything.
-
hmm I don't get "just you wait" comments too much anymore... Only when I'm around parents with tweens... "Just you wait... til they're in high school!"
-
First it was having a newborn in general, but now that he's four months it's all about mobility. Just you wait until he can crawl and walk; then you're really screwed.
-
"See how much working out you'll do once you have your kid."
Ummm i plan to go to crossfit at 5:45am while my husband handles the "watching" (sleeping? Lol) at home. It really annoys me when people say this!!
-
@septca: that's my mother right there!!
-
"Just you wait until she's walking. " why can't I enjoy (hate? Lol) the now? I hated those ends when I was pregnant too
-
@rachiecakes: funny, it's all my mom, too.
-
About actually having this baby, if ever I talk about how tired I am. The worst part is...I know it's true!
-
The worst I ever had it was about cloth diapers when I was pregnant with L. Everyone had some 'just you wait' input about that.
-
@mfa_lady: I'm not actually sure that's true... I was much more tired when I was pregnant than when I had a newborn.
-
@mfa_lady: I'm with @septca: I honestly felt a lot more tired while pregnant. I hated all those "just wait you will never ever get a good nights rest again" comments. It is not helpful!
-
I've really been practicing my resting bitch face, so I don't get these comments anymore
I got TONS when I was pregnant.
-
There is one lady that insists #3 is going to push me over the edge... "just wait until #3 is here, you're going to go crazy!"... thanks for your words of encouragement?
-
@cyndistar3: haha, a parent at gymnastics told me 3 is ok but 4 is crazy!
-
@grizz: lol! Practising resting bitch face! I need to work on mine.
-
@autumnlove: I hear different things from everyone so I figure I will just figure it out when I get there
-
Just you wait...until she walking!
Just you wait...until she bites you, then you won't want to nurse any more! (SPOILER: She's bitten me and I'm STILL nursing. Who'd a thunk?)
@grizz: I need to develop that.
-
@cyndistar3: I agree!
-
About pregnancy mostly. 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.
-
@grizz: Fortunately (?) I don't need to practice that one, but *unfortunately* my mother is immune.
-
@septca: @jhd: PTL! Hahahaha. These comments just totally made my day. Bring on any tiny bit of energy that can come my way!
-
@avivoca: @Mrs. Sunshine: same with the walking. I got the same comments about crawling, but actually it's been fine!
-
"Just you wait until you have two...."
Ok, working on it, thanks....!
-
@avivoca: Same with the nursing/biting. Ugh.
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!"
-
@avivoca: this. Constantly.
-
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!
-
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!
-
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!
But I get plenty of just wait until she is walking comments from other people.
-
Nighttime sleep! Every single parent irl asks me how lo sleeps and when I tell them great they say just you wait until 4months!
-
@alohaorchid: I hated those. I have a baby and I make time for those things. I might not go as often, but I still go.
-
I got soo many while I was pregnant.
"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.
"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?
"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.
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.
-
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.
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.
-
"Just you wait" til you have kids and can't do x, y, z/ your opinion about xyz will change.
We are trying, it's not happening. And your comments aren't helpful.
-
Literally every single thing about parenting.
Think you can't sleep now? Wait till the baby is born.
Think nursing is hard now? Wait till they bite and whip their heads.
Wait until they can crawl.
Wait until they can walk.
Wait until they can back talk.
Think it's hard now? Wait until they are teenagers.
Wait til you have two.
Wait til you have three.Oh, one of my favorite from my mom. "Think boys are easier now? Wait until they are into the drinking and the driving."
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!
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.
