Are you jealous of other pregnant women?

Question

Especially when it's young girls in their teens and 20s posting on Instagram, Facebook, and snapchat. I'm 22 and I am truly happy for these girls but I get so jealous because I want to be a young mother too but I cannot easily get pregnant and my husband and I still do not have a home suitable for a family. All these girls that are getting pregnant are not even married or have their own home. Some of them don't even work. I mean I know that's none of my business but I feel none of this is fair. Most of them live with their parents and stuff. If I was to get pregnant while living with my parents, I'd be killed. I was raised to fear my folks and obey their house rules. But I guess all these girls are happy which is all the matters and I'm just here waiting when it'll be my turn 😪 My turn seems like never 💔

Answer

And I'll just double  comment here,
But you're 22 judging 20 year olds.. 
Let that just sink in. 😂😂😂

Answer

Comparison is the death of happiness

Answer

Don't compare yourself to others, you can't base where your life should be because of where you see other people's lives.

Also I'm a young mom 21(when I gave birth) now 22. I'm not married, but my SO and I love together and support ourselves.

You are barely any older than the people you are judging so heavily. You have plenty of time to have a baby...and quite an it if maturing to do before that time comes for you.

Answer

Their fertility has nothing to do with yours lol.
Stop being so god damn bitter and stop judging young mums.

Answer

I don't get jealous of them, because I know it'll be my turn eventually. But my SIL is pregnant right now. And I basically burst into tears on the way home after she announced it. It was the weirdest thing. Like I was so happy for her, but I was envious at the same time. But my husband is currently applying for med school. And I refuse to have a baby before I know where I'll be in just a year's time. I definitely don't envy my SIL anymore, and I 100% don't get jealous of super young pregnant girls.

Answer

If you still don't have a suitable home for a family then why the hell are you judging other girls who have suitable homes? Get your shit in order before wanting a child or being envious of other young moms, also 22 is still very young I'm 27 and by husband is the 28 this is our  first baby

Answer

There's no anon posts in CC...also, no one has to be married to have children. You're 22. So what you haven't had children yet? I'm almost 26 with no kids and as much as it gets to me sometimes, I'm thankful my husband and I haven't tried conceiving yet as we still have a lot we want to do that having children would make it difficult if not impossible. You are young. Travel, explore, and find one another (in the meantime) while you still have time.

Answer

Maybe your time hasn't come yet? Maybe you should just enjoy being 22 and working on you instead of other "young" moms getting pregnant.

Answer

Judging others based on what few data points you have on them is such a waste of time. You have no idea what the process was behind them getting pregnant and how easy/hard it was. You don't know why they are choosing to have children now.

Also, you have no idea what else they struggle with in their lives. So, it's a huge waste of your energy to focus on what they have that you think you don't have. Everyone's life timeline is different and impossible to compare to someone else's. So, I suggest you focus on how to improve the situation you are in- get help with fertility, work on making your life as stable and child friendly as you can, work on making sure you have a good community of supportive people around you. It's a MUCH better use of your energy than resenting others.
