Jealous people suck a$$! Vent.

I don't really belong on 3rd Tri yet, but I had to say...

A.) I think every woman can relate to jealousy issues but your approach was totally wrong, which is why you are now having to defend yourself in a rather unflattering fashion, and....

B.) Nothing is more obnoxious than when someone talks about/ references how much money they make and then brags that they "don't even have a bachelors degree," like all of us who DID go to college effectively wasted 4-5 years and thousands of dollars. That line of thinking is not only pretentious, but it's also ignorant. Some people value their education and take much more pride in it than they would a larger salary; I am one of those people.

How bout we forget I ever said anything about this? If I could delete the post I would. Apparently I gave off the wrong impression.

I get the point you were trying to make. It is hard to interpret things in writing so this may be why some people are being harsh.

As the saying goes some people listen (or read in this case) based what's in their heart.

Congrats on having a great support system IRL! Just ignore the side comments from the people you were referencing to...can't change them. Just live your life!

you didn't make that up. Bitter old hag has been around since before the pashmina was " cool"

Apparently I'm part of the "living under a rock" generation because I had to google pashmina...

It's not your fault actually. You are only 24, you are part of what I believe is called " the entitlement generation"

This.
Beautifully put.

i'm sorry but i'm 24 years old and i don't feel entitled to anything that isn't earned.

I also read this and was convinced you were going to get flamed so I watched for a bit? It's really easy to take this post to the next level. Even though that may not have been your intention.... It did sound like bragging, even though it wasn?t to you ?but don?t stress it.. it simply comes out wrong when its read. But maybe you should be careful how you tell people about things you have, maybe they come off as bragging also with out you realizing it and it?s really easy to hurt peoples feelings when it comes to money these days ?people are struggling

I have a few friends that are spoiled and they know it and say it proudly. I actually love it.. I think it's great that their wedding was fully paid for and they were able to buy a house ? good for them! I wish this upon everyone! Its awesome b/c I get to go to their BBQ?s every summer instead of being at my crappy NYC apartment. But as long as they aren?t bragging ?they just have it that way ?lucky them.

Consider yourself lucky and if someone asks you where did you got that nursery, just be honest, but don?t voluntarily announce that it was free.

Good luck

I think I know what she is trying to say. Some people (friends or not) hate to see other people doing good or having family or other friends giving them things. You can't hide your wedding rings and I wouldn't lie about saying someone purchased something for my baby. I would just change the subject everytime it is brought up. Most people do know better than to comment on someone elses finances to their face.

gifts are one thing, the definition of entitlement is "someone's belief that one is deserving of some particular reward or benefit"...so no, i don't feel like i deserve gifts. of course i would accept a gift and be thankful for it. i wasn't necessarily commenting on the OP i was commenting that i think it's unfair to say because somebody is 24 that they automatically fit into a "entitlement generation". its more than unfair, its just plain ignorant.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!

Leave her alone - so she's itemizing out some things that get to her, so what? That is only perceived as bragging if you're jealous.

Yes, people have struggles, real struggles, but that doesn't invalidate someone's concerns. We all go through different things at different times.

Just because you're frustrated about people giving you s*** about something good in your life or nice or extravagant you have doesn't mean you aren't greatful for it or that you lack the ability to be compassionate about someone going through a less fortunate time or situation.

Let's be nice, ladies. Stay classy. These boards are for helping, encouraging, and offering support. If you don't like what someone has to say, move on to another post.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed now! oh well
