I am a mother of three. It is basically all I've ever wanted in life, to be a mom. My sister is the corporate woman on the move. I don't regret any choices I've made and wouldn't change anything. But she just got back from a whirlwind tour through Italy, plus a 14 day cruise in the Mediterranean. I'm not jealous of her life as a whole since she's single and alone a lot. I'm just so jealous of her amazing journey through Italy and Venice and Rome and on and on. I'm trying to share in all her excitement and view her pictures, but the whole time I'm just ugly and green inside.

Well, stop and think do you think that she is jealous of you. You are a mom that has the joy of family at Christmas, thanksgiving, etc. I have two boys and yes there are the occaisonal 'I wish', but I wouldn't trade it for the world, I bet you wouldn't either. What she has is pretty cool, but those are the choices that are made. You need to talk to her or someone that would understand and get that ugly green out, be thankful for what you got. I know that I do everyday.

You should be thankful for what life you have with your 3 beautiful kids. You didn't mention if you were married.
You just said that you were not jealous, but then again you are jealous of her because she is single and a working woman who travels. That is her life she chose as well. You should be proud of her with her success, just how you should be proud of your success in being a wife and mother to your kids.
Your sister is living her dreams, just as you are living yours.
Some day, she will get out of the corporate world and become a wife and mother too. Then both of you will continue to share each others ventures in life.

I'll bet she feels the same way about you and your kids. She's traveling, but she's traveling alone. And besides, it's not like you can't go to Italy one day. Yea it's expensive, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Well anyway, just think og how jealous she is of you, and has to show off all the trips and stuff to make up for it.

think about her when shes home alone.how she has nothing but a empty spot in her heart that nothng she has can fill.that 10 or even 20 years from now she will never have all the love that you have already.she will have pictres to remember all the pretty stuff she has seen but she has nothing more ten that.could you imagion having to live on someone elses clock and do everything they tell you too.she sees pretty stuff but still is at work,all the time.she has meeting,schedules,etc. all day long.when you hear of all the fun she has picture the look in your kids eyes and all the love you have around you and it will fill you with happiness.be happy for her and wish her love and luck and remember she doesnt have someone to hug and kiss her and to say i love you to everyday.

When you love someone you are happy for them. Your emotions are controlling you instead of you controlling them. Jealousy is a destructive emotion and no good comes of it.
There are way better things in life than self entertainment (her trip falls under that category) and one of those things is building relationships with your children that will last a lifetime. Focus on that and not what sis is doing.

You can save up for a trip like hers for when you're an empty nester, then you wouldn't be jealous. Perhaps if you're married, you and your husband can go on a 2nd honeymoon without the kiddies.

you should make plans to take a trip yourself. other than that focus on your full life as a mother and the HAPPY choice you made to be a mother of 3. Your sister's trips shouldn't make you envious.

When your kids are grown, you'll be able to make that trip. It's not easy raising kids but there is nothing more rewarding either. You may not be able to travel now, but make sure you take time out for yourself.

She's probably just as jealous that you have an awesome family
