I can not tell you how much this phrase drives me crazy!!
Anytime I talk with other moms about milestones or something new my son is doing, this is what I hear...like there is only doom and gloom to come as it is usually said in a dry sarcastic tone. It also usually wipes out any drive or pride I have to share these moments with people around me which is disappointing to say the least.
Maybe I am in the minority here, but I have tried to enjoy each age, phase, milestone, etc in that moment. I am trying to not rush him to grow up or keep him from growing up either. There are things I have enjoyed and disliked about each stage. To me, that is just what raising kids is all about, getting through the challenging times and soaking up the good ones for all they are worth! To me, it is the only way to stay sane as a mama!!
