Jealousy moment

in Stay at Home Moms

A former neighbor/friend is moving to the Atlanta area.  Her husband got a job there and so they are relocating from here (bay area in California).  She is a part time SAHM here but I'm sure will be FT there.  Their house here wasn't super big and they had a tiny backyard.  We always dreamed about living somewhere with huge houses and yards and a LCOL.  Now they are moving.  We just moved into a bigger house last year and landscaped our yard and love our house.  But seeing someone live out their dream (and one that you kind of want too) is always interesting.  I am totally happy for them, but I feel like turning off her FB status updates so I don't turn green with envy.  :)

No point to this post, in case you were wondering!

    There is a girl on my FB who's husband was friends with my husband. They are on baby #3 and it seems like she handles the two she has perfectly. She seems to bounce back from pregnancy perfectly and not carry an extra 20 lbs like me. And she looks cute pregnant and not like a huge alien like me. She seems to handle everything so gracefully and joyfully. She doesn't have fat white legs like me. She has family in town to help her with her kids. Now I KNOW that things don't go perfectly for her but somehow I imagine they do. I should block her or maybe try to be like her. I don't know which. I'm hardly ever jealous so I don't know what's going on here but I relate to you.

    It's funny because she is definitely not a "perfect on the outside" person.  She is very real and a pretty cool person, I dare to say even a bit neurotic.  So I guess mostly I am just envious of their move and at least she isn't being totally obnoxious about it.  

    I know what you mean though... is the friend of yours one of those people who seems to have it all together but she's "too" perfect so maybe she is a wreck inside?  Or is she a genuinely nice person who just seems to make things look easy?  I don't mind the latter, but the too perfect people bug.  :)

    No she is genuinely nice. She just makes this look so easy and her kids are very young like mine and I know this isn't easy. We're just not close enough to share the hard times. And from the fb posts, it just looks totally rosy. I'm sure you guys will get the right opportunities for your family at the right time. Coming from Texas, I know how nice it is to get lots of land and square footage for the money. That is nice.

    Yeah its mostly that part that stings.  But then again, there'd be huge bugs and massive heat and humidity too, things we rarely have here.  :)  I am genuinely happy for her, its just one of those things.

    I can tell you... there are some definite down sides to living in Atlanta. And, if she's really going to be IN Atlanta and not some far out suburb, it's not really all that LCOL. So, she's probably going to be further out than someone not from Atlanta would consider to be Atlanta.
