Hate that I feel jealous!!
My SO & I have been together for 6 years, we have 1 child and have been ttc #2 for 7 months now. We are in our early 30's, both have good paying jobs with benefits, a nice home, nice vehicles etc. What I am getting at is that we are financially stable.
Well, a family member who's relationship is on again off again who has 2 children that are on Medicaid and receive food stamps because they do not have a steady job or income announced their unexpected pregnancy. Congratulations are in order because every baby is a blessing. Despite their financial situation, they are good parents. I hate that I am feeling so upset about this news.
I think I would honestly be much happier if their relationship was stable and if they had the means to support these children without government assistance. I know I have already pissed a lot of you off for that statement. I am not knocking assistance, everyone needs help sometimes & that's what it is there for. I have been in a situation where I lost my job and received assistance. However, during that time I actively prevented pregnancy from happening. Why? Simply because I could not afford to care for my child and myself as it was.
I'm happy that I will have another niece or nephew but I'm sad at the same time. Do any of you ladies feel my struggle? Am I being judgmental because I want to be the one with this wonder news??
I just need some support from those of you who can understand. It's not like I can talk to family about how I'm feeling.
