For some reason lately I have been feeling very envious of this woman I know. We have babies that are the same age and have started talking to/emailing one another. She seems to always be 'one-uping' me... if you know what I mean. If I say that I've been lucky that my son hasn't really had many diaper rash issues... she emails me back saying "My son hasn't had any diaper rashes. So happy!" If I say I bought a book to learn how to make baby food at home she replies "Yeah, I was planning on doing that already." Am I imagining things or does it sound like she's being competitive?
It's started to bother me and I find myself comparing now too. She's prettier, skinnier, has a nicer home, a better marriage (or at least it seems like it), a better job, more friends, etc. etc.
How can I let go of these feelings? It's starting to consume my thought life. Any advice?
