JEALOUS

I'm suffering from lots of jealousy lately! My list includes:
*Anyone who's pregnant. We're waiting for timing purposes and I know that's a good thing but I'm still jealous.
*Foster parents. I want to be one but that goal will probably have to wait a few years until we get more settled.
*The people who live in the gorgeous apartment overlooking Central Park we visited yesterday. The building has a pool on the roof! 360 degree views of NYC! Ugh, I burn, I BURN. Why am I not rich?
*The rich in general. There's so many rich people in NYC and now we live in a rich neighborhood so I see them eveeeerywheeeeeeere!
Who are you jealous of?

Re: JEALOUS
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
I'm with you on the pregnancy thing. I mean, I know we should wait and I actually want to wit, but I'm still jealous.
And the rich. Gah, wouldn't it be nice?!?!?
And I am super duper jealous of people who make $ doing what they love. I mean, I like my job, but not because its fun. I like it because it is flexible and it pays the bills. I wish I could do something I love and get paid.
Moms who didn't get stretch marks or saggy skin after babies.
My sister who is going to Europe for 18 days. UGH. I'd like to hide in her luggage.
Anyone with a short commute to work.
People who like to exercise.
I could keep going but I will stop there
Also skinny people
People with nannies or extra help (I'm jealous of you work moms today Emery had a meltdown because I closed the door when I had to go to the bathroom)
People with loving involved family members. Visiting my mom made me sad she doesnt live by us. It was so nice having people around. I didnt really even look at Bump or FB for a week. It made me sad that my MIL sucks and that my sister is the only involved family member we have. I feel like Emery deserves better. I have emery all 12 hours, my h maybe sometimes makes it home to see her for 30 minutes or 1 hour before bed and my MIL hasnt seen her in 3 weeks and didnt even ask about her. In all the 14 months of her existence my MIL has babysat her twice for a total of 3 hours each time and only because she had my niece and nephew. My family was kind of shocked at how much she doesnt care.

I too am jealous of those who have no anxiety of leaving their LOs! It puts a huge damper on things for sure.
I am jealous of all of you young mommas. I want to be in my twenties again
The other day I got seriously jealous when I overheard the woman bragging about her son getting accepted to Harvard. I think my face was green with envy at this moment...
I am also jealous of people who don't stress about money and truly enjoy other nonmaterial parts of life. Who do a lot of volunteering, good will, helping the planet, etc.
Also people who don't have to try hard to be skinny. My MIL had a beautiful figure when she was younger, and she ate anything she wanted and never worked out.
Exactly.
Also jealous of parents with 14 month olds who are walking and talking. Womp womp.
And then finally I'm jealous of people who have lots of girlfriends. All of my close friends from college live far away, and I hate not being able to just cal one of them up to grab drinks or lunch.
