Leah from Marital Bless posted about this aritcle, Joy, or "Just Wait?" by Katie Wetherbee, and it really hit home. It's right on point about how parents react to new parents or how people talk to other people in general and I couldn't agree more.
Why do people have to be so negative?
Why can't they find the joy in all of the "Just Wait's" and then share those?
Reading this was just really timely, since I had just posted about all of the things that I've hated talking about with other new moms or moms in general.
Whether you're a mom or not, read this article and FIND THE JOY! Please.

I read that article the other day and almost teared up! I completely agree and, even though some days might be hard, we have to remember all the little things that will mean so much to us down the road.
What a great post! We should all give those kind of 'just waits'. Because, really, parenthood IS such a joy. Bad times and all, we are all blessed. I can't wait to use this on new parents.
I HATE the just waits. I always want to tell them (when they complain about whatever) just wait until they move out and then you'll wish they were (doing whatever you are complaining about now). It goes too fast, enjoy it instead of relishing in all the struggles.
Thank you for sharing this article. I am {no lie} in tears.
Great article and so true! Thank you for linking up!
