“Just wait till ___”

There are few things in life that piss me off more than someone saying this to me. I heard it all throughout pregnancy. Now, as a mom, I hear it all again.

“Just wait till baby is here, your house will never be clean again” My house is still very clean. My husband and I split cleaning. He isn’t incompetent

“There will be so much clutter when he gets old enough for toys” They go into bins and are kept there

“Just wait, you won’t have any time for hobbies or time with your partner”. I am training for a marathon. My husband and I have regular date nights. He has plenty of time to play his games and do other hobbies

Just because you had an experience doesn’t make it universal. Yes, things change and evolve. As everything in life does. But projecting yourself onto others!
