Yes, I despise these statements. Just wait until they are walking and getting into everything. Just wait until the "terrible twos." Just wait until you spank the first time. Just wait until they meltdown in the grocery store. Just wait until they can't stop whining. Just wait until they are off to school and the homework starts. Just wait until they roll their eyes at you.
There is a whole slew of them for adolescence. Just wait until you have "the talk." Just wait until they think you are as dumb as a post. Just wait until they are embarrassed to be seen with you. Just wait until they have a crush, get acne, learn to drive, get their license, get a job, start dating...the list is so long it's frightening.
I seriously wonder what the point is behind these statements? To share? To scare? To forecast only the doom and gloom in my future? There are blessings in every stage and at every age. I do not appreciate EVERYTHING the chilluns do and say, but I am simply not going to wait in fear for the next worst thing. I won't be wearing the t-shirt that says Life Sucks and Then You Die.
Just wait until you have four by 40.

Just wait until they get to the age where their sense of humor blossoms and you can joke around like friends.
Just wait until you hold your first grandchild.
Just wait until the first one drives and you can send THEM on errands.
See? They're not all bad...
LOL. Now there's a statement that strikes fear in my heart. "Just wait until you have four by 40."
OK, wait a minute. Who are the people who keep telling you "Just wait..."? That's really rude and frustrating. I'm a little mad right now. Just so you know, I'm totally on your side. I'll come up with some sort of response for you so that when someone tells you, "Just wait..." you can say, "Just wait until my head explotes. Then you'll be sorry. Seriously." Or something like that.
