"Just you wait until you have kids!"  I couldn't even begin to count how many times I heard this as a child.  I remember trying to figure out what had my mom in such a snit.  Why was she being such a pain?  And what was the bid deal anyway?  It's amazing to me how things said to you as a child, by the adults in your life, can come back to "haunt" you.  For me, the two big ones were, "If you don't start doing your sit-ups right, you'll have a flabby stomach when you get older." (Thank you so much Ms. Willoughby ~ my grade school gym teacher) and "Just wait until you have a daughter."  Talk about curses.  LOL.

Well, since I'm almost positive that the majority of grandparents have uttered the "just you wait" phrase a time or two, I decided to give you the opportunity to gloat.  The waiting is over!  Share with us your "I told you so's".  While us moms snarl, you can have the last laugh.

 

Your Name:

The waiting is over!  My kids now have kids who are just like them.
