Where are my jealous females at?

Question

Ladies, I love you, I love ladies who acknowledge their faults.
I'm not jealous of people I don't know, but I do get jealous of people I do know sometimes.  I know I need to work on it, so let's join together in this post and help each other get better!

Answer

It’s terrible to say but I’m jealous of a few friends of mine... they married extremely rich and it’s almost like they breeze by in life. My husband and I work so hard, never get a break, just to pay the bills and put away savings for the future. We live a comfortable life don’t get me wrong, but I see these women taking 3 week vacations to the Caribbean or hanging out on their yachts and they’ve never worked a day in their lives. It’s not that I don’t want them to have all of that, I really do... I just want a small piece too 😫
I’m trying to not let it bother me but damn sometimes I wish I could take a (much needed) vacation!

Answer

I get jealous of my sister in law... I have made homemade sourdough bread, 30 yr old family recipe, since I was 18, a few months ago my SIL started making sourdough bread and everybody was talking about the different signature cooking in the family introducing the family to my brother in law's new girlfriend and they say she makes sourdough... Literally they don't even remember that I cook.  It's just a small thing but it upsets me

Answer

I get jealous of people who post pregnancy announcements and those adorable baby photos. The baby fever here is real 😬

Answer

Well.. I do get occasionally jealous @ the girls/ folks Who live luxuriant, vacation filled lives, who have nice homes, full closets jam packed w/ fancy cute clothes, more than 2 bras, more than 1 winter coat... meanwhile mine are full of second hand goodwill clothes and the occasional on sale Ross clothing. I love being thrifty don’t get me wrong, but just once in my life I’d love to b able to “treat my self” and my baby daughter w/ some REALLY nice clothing, some nice shoes, a nice bed spread, a nice couch or one piece of furniture that we can buy NEW not used!! Even if it was from places Like target, doesn’t have to be Gucci!  I live in a prefab, a manufactured home, just one step up from a “trailer”. We don’t live in an ascetically pleasing,  stick built home w/ a garage attached. We have running water, 3 bedrooms, toilets, showers, food, warmth so I’m VERY thankful, As I know many don’t even have food as we speak.. 
I keep my house very tidy and decorate to make it cute w/ what we have...  but it’s a lil embarrassing when your house is small & ugly... especially when company comes and they look around and see it for what it is... we work BEYOND hard for what little we have. My husband slaves, I slave meanwhile taking care of our baby girl and my 12 yr old step son.  I’m thankful we even have amazon prime! My husband buys the nice TVs, niceish newer washer & dryer when he can, but I feel bad when he does. I’ve NEVER expressed this to anyone so it feels odd to type it out!! I’m a cheap skate, I’ve had to be. I was raised not poor, but barely getting by. So I’m used to this lifestyle. Just sucks when you wish you could provide more nice things, when you want to buy your baby a new crib but can’t afford it, when you especially wish your husband didn’t have to slave daily in pain with an artificial disk in his back. We get by but never vacation, never get out for fun things, we’re home bound and now more than ever w/ covid... hell, take out like a pizza or Chinese is a big treat to us! Those people usually DO work for what they have too, but I just wish I could have one of those fancy silver fridges w/ Trader Joe’s groceries & champagne inside!! 🙃🙃 This is the length of a scroll, whoops! I swear I’m not a brat!

Answer

Jealously is real we are only human.  Rather it be through material,  home-made,  etc.  We aren't robots lol.  But we can all work on being non-jelly. ( it's hard but it takes time )

Answer

I’m jealous 😭 I hate it but I’ve been working on it fir YEARS!

Answer

I used to have some jealousy nothing malicious.  But I learned to shift the way I looked at it. Instead of being envious practise being happy for them instead and if you do believe in God ask God that he gives you the same or better than it. 
I remember when I was struggling to get pregnant my sister ìn law announced she was 4 months pregnant. I cried I was so happy for her and I also prayed that God would bless me with children too. 
There doesn't need to be that negative/sad emotion attached. I feel like having that negative emotion it almost translates as I'm not happy that you have this and I don't. This comes from someone who did have some jealousy and this is how I shifted my perspective.
