I faced that with an ex-gf. Even when i ended up homeless for 4 years, mostly because of her, when she feared it may happen to her and I said "I know how you feel, I was homeless for 4 years" the first thing out if her mouth was "but you didn't have kids". By the way, she did not end up homeless.
So imagine hearing that from your gf (or bf) for 10 years.

That thing is crazy, I just don't know how socks could be nutritious enough to sustain life for even this creature?!?!
With the price of food getting more expensive every day and my dread of doing yard work, to me it would make more sense to use yards for growing food, instead of impressing your neighbors with your fine cut grass. At least if your yard was like a mini farm your toil would have some output, rather than just more trash for the trash man.
Can you imagine neighbors commenting on your yard and say, boy those green beans look great.....Instead of, I heard your gardener doing your grass yesterday, and that dang leaf blower needs a new muffler. Can you get him to do your yard after 10a.m., trying to get some shut eye over here?

It might be just because that's what they're used to getting from their peers. When a parent talks about how his toddler is learning to walk he gets a lot of "Wait until he gets big enough to start climbing on chairs and getting on the counter!" If you talk about your kid learning to ride a bike you get "Just wait until he's old enough to drive, then you'll REALLY start worrying!"
I think it's kind of a way to establish superiority of experience, something of a one-upmanship thing. And we single, childless people are easy targets. Everybody knows WE don't know anything about being busy or tired... we're single, we don't do anything with our time except watch TV anyway.

My mom...whenever my sister or I talk about anything that is hard physically she says, "Just wait til you're my age." She's been doing this since she was in her 30's. Once we hit our 30's she was almost 60....again we hear..."just wait until you're my age." So basically my mom has cornered the market on the age one-upmanship with her children. There is no way we can ever get to that age she speaks of and say, we get it. She will ALWAYS be 29 years older than me. She will always be able to say, "just wait...."
I have figured that one out Sonflower. There is always another "just wait until." No matter how old you are, somebody will be older and will be waiting with a "just wait until."
So what was there to figure out? I figured out I can just ignore all that and live. My body will break down whenever it decides to break down, mostly dependent on how I ate when I was young and how I wear it down when I'm old.
