[quote=Anonymous]I feel mildly envious (like, I'm so glad she has X, I wish I had it too!) of a few qualities of my kids. For DD, I am envious of her strong perfectionism and desire and determination to achieve things that are a challenge. She decided she wanted to learn to ride a bike without training wheels very early and then spent hours practicing until she got it right. She is like that with everything. That said, I know the anxiety she faces as well -- there are two sides of every coin. With my son, I am envious of his interest in his interests. He just doesn't care what others think and is solely devoted to science projects and math. He really steps to the beat of his own drum. But there are clear downsides of this too. What I am saying, OP, is that I think it's normal to be a bit envious of the qualities of of children. But it's important to be equally as cognizant of their short comings. [/quote]
