I was in Costco today and someone said to me, for the umpteenth time..."Oh enjoy her. These are the best years. It's never going to be like this again".
May I just say the following?
SHUT UP PEOPLE.
My god. Really. Do I want to hear your bitter perspective? Do I need you to tell me that someday my child is going to grow up to hate me? That it's going to be nothing but worry and work from this day forward. And that no matter what, some day she'll leave me.
Really.
Do you walk up to a bride and say "Love him all you can today because you are only going to get sick of him"?
Do you go to a housewarming and say "Wow, you should take pictures. It's never going to look this nice again"?
Do you walk up to someone at the gym and say "My god you look so good. It must suck that from this day forward you are still going to age, then die"?
Do you go to a Communion and say "Well I guess this is the only time your little girl's truly going to be able to wear white walking down the aisle"?
For fucks sake people, ENOUGH already. Please let me enjoy my child. Today. Without your reminding me that it's all going to end.
And apparently badly.
