Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

how do i avoid saying "you'll see"

3rd tri is rife with people who are so sure of how their labor will go, what they will and won't do because they have read books and have done research.

geez, was i really like that once upon a time?  probably, but how embarrassing.

 

Re: how do i avoid saying "you'll see"

  • Just say "Good luck with your plans!"

  • Yes, yes I see it all the time too.  I especially hate the term 'elders'. Elders? Really?

    did you see the latest post.  there are "rules,"  and they are "awesome".  no one can call out the elders.  i sure hope she didn't throw her elbow out patting herself on the back for that post.

     

  • Yeah, often I snicker and think to myself ?"you'll see", or "just you wait". But maybe (gasp) there's some truth to these annoying sayings?!

  • I lurked on 3rd tri while we were all on there....and I remember certain bumpies who were SO SURE they were going to have things a certain way....I still snicker sometimes when I think about it.

     

    We were all perfect parents and had perfect birth experiences before we had babies, huh?

    I just saw that and LOL'd.  

  • LOL.  I remember being that naive.  I so laugh at myself now.

    I didn't see it....

  • Oh, but the best are firm declarations of how they will actually parent. And any "we'll see" from a mom typically draws:

    "Hey lady, just because YOU can't stick to your convictions doesn't mean I can't."

    Elders. Giggle.

    You have had possibly the fastest pregnancy of all time. I can't believe you are SO close!

  • Pattypound - hah :) It has seemed like an eternity for me!  Not that I haven't enjoyed it all - I am so grateful for every day.
