My mother and older sister are jealous of me because I'm living as a stay at home mom with two kids (l don't live with my mom nor my sis or in the same city) while my mother works at a store while my oldest sister is in school to recieve her Ph.D.. My father own a business and he has never been jealous of me. Only my mom and sis (blood) treats me unfairly and won't acknowledge my presence even if I try to start up a conversation when the family room is dead quiet. What do you guys think? and why do you think my mom and sis are treating me this way? I've never done anything to them. Why are they so jealous of me? Is it because I'm a stay at home mom looking after my two kids while my husband goes off to work? Besides, he's fine with me being at home watching our kids while he's out working for the family. Besides, what business is it for my mom and sis to judge me anyways? Any comments?

First of all, It might be some other deeper family problem. That you innocently have no idea about. It might that they don't like your husband or like something that is going on with you. Maybe in someway they heard something about you (Even if it is untrue or not) but they might have believed it. How long has this been going on? Have you tried to talk to them in regards to this issue? How is the realtionship between your kids and them? I think that the best thing for you to do is....Talk to them. Sometimes (Given from experience) you get upset with your family because you feel like your begin treated unfair and you feel like they have a problem with you or your life style. But once the air is FINALLY cleared up----It turns out to be a hugh and silly misunderstanding. And honestly it is better to clear up the air now (While they are still alive) because the worst thing in life is to have a loved one die and you still have plenty of questions for them and then in the long run you find out that you wasted so many years - Living with anger. Take it from me....It is not worth it. It is not worth you living with those types of feeling towards them.....Just talk to them and find out what the real problem is.
Good Luck !!!

Honey its as simple as the saying the grass is greener on the other side. see your mom and sister work. and they dont spend enuf time at home. ask from a person who works what is the value of time spent at hom everyday they will tell priceless.same is the case with your mom and sister. they may be feeling insecure as you are a SAHM.
Tell me one person who is not envied by other person in family. none.You cannot do anything about this .Just let it go sooner or later they will come around.

Congrats for all your accomplishments. Now your cousin sounds to be heavily jealous, and is depressing. yet have you ever tried sitting down and speaking to her approximately it? now no longer speaking at her, or initiating off with pointing the finger? fairly take her aside and enable her be responsive to that what she is doing is hurting your thoughts and is pulling the two one in each and each of your aside. additionally enable her be responsive to that if it keeps which you will no longer have the skill to guarantee which you're in a position to have the quite a few form of friendly relationship yet a civil one...if the communique is going down hill then enable her be responsive to that if she tries to sabotage your employment that the subsequent step for you would be contacting the police and a restraining order could be placed. That way you be responsive to you have tried to maintain the family members relationship between you, and that she has had a guess to describe her thoughts or in spite of she might arise with.

Why do you assume that they are jealous of you? Maybe you need to be talking to them and asking them why they seem to be cold around you. I dont believe in mother's trying to compete with their children. Maybe she just feels like she cant be a mother around you. As for your sister...she had her Ph.D !!! things are going her way too. Not a lot of people can be as accomplished as she. So it's not because they are Jealous of you. Maybe there are just issues that needs to be ironed out. Good Luck.
