I have been thinking about it for some time and I don't think I have. I will keep thinking as the day progresses..... Have you?

I really like one of my friend's house, but am not jealous. I want a house like that , but I don't want her house...KWIM?????

I'm not, usually, a jealous person. Never really been an issue of mine.

Though I will admit, last fall, when our family car died and we were left with just our Honda that had like 245,000 miles on it and a young man that I know went out, and paid cash (with his parents $$), for a brand new Land Rover with all the extras, that I did get a little on the green side.

I'm OK with it now though!

I do get jealous every now and then, but I have to think to myself, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Everyone has problems, some you can see and some you cannot.

I know I have been really jealous when I was younger. Anytime now that I might start to feel jealous, I am good about catching myself and thinking about the great things in my life.

I don't really get jealous...weird I know. Although when couples without babies talk about sleeping in I get a little green-eyed

I guess you could say I am jealous (and bitter) in this situation.
My brother and his family live 1 mile from my parents, so they get to see their kids all of the time. Now when they all come up to my house (2 hrs away) or we go down there, I feel like my kids should get more attention and they don't. We even just went to the Statue of Liberty and days later my mom asked how my 6yo dd liked it since she didn't get a chance to really see her. We went out to breakfast w/them and my family of 4 sat at one table and their family of 4 plus my parents sat at another and to top it off, it happened the same way out to dinner the same night and it was for MY birthday! So now that I wrote this, I guess more bitter than anything huh?!?

I have a very similar situation!! In my case not only does the above apply, but my brother works for my dad, my parents bought the trailor that my brother, SIL, and my niece and nephew live in and I know that they don't always pay their bills and my parents do, even though if my brother didn't spend his money on tatoos and junk and stuff like that they would have enough......

I have another situation though in which I am jealous--- I am jealous of my SIL (my DH's sister)... She works from home as a single mom for Hewlett Packard... and yes she does have to deal with a crazy, demanding ex-husband but she has a job that allows her to travel, spend time with her DD, own her own home in one of the best areas in town, her DD goes to one of the best schools, she is always buying new furniture or spending $150 on one pair of jeans, AND she just announced tonight that she is getting remarried! Her fiancee is in the same line of work that she is in, he only wears the best clothes, and all she was worried about was what new furniture and things they had to get before he moved in with her in June. I know I shouldn't be jealous but my DH and I are struggling to make ends meet, we have to watch every penny, I couldn't tell you the last time I had new jeans, we don't have the money to travel, and we are renting an apartment. It is so frustrating at times.... Now that I am writing this though, I see that there are so many things that I should be thankful for and not be jealous of.... for one I don't have to deal with a crazy ex, or have to leave my daughter with her father and step mother every couple of days.... It is hard for me not to be jealous,even though I know that I have everything that I need... my DH and my DD!!!

This may sound wierd, but whenever I hear about another woman having a baby I always feel a little jealous, because I remember what it felt like those first minutes after they were born and they were laying on my chest all warm and cuddly. That is the greatest feeling.

I've been a little jealous of a couple of friends that are pregnant. I would really love to have another child, but DH just isn't on board. My two friends are both expecting their third children, and it is hard to see other people having what I want so badly. I am extremely happy for my friends, and would never ever wish that they didn't have it, but I just wish I could have it too!

I have to agree that you never know what other people are experiencing. A couple of weeks ago we ran into some old friends and I was a little envious of all the things they can afford- vacations, season tickets for sporting events, a lot of evenings out, etc. Granted they don't have kids, but I was trying so hard to figure out how they could afford everything. Well, low and behold, a few days later I saw their names in the paper because they were filing for bankruptcy. So you never know what is going on in someone's life!
