[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, does anyone have advice for getting over the envy of a SIL who is always upbeat, happy, and projects constant perfection? Everything is awe and wonder, from the cookies she baked with her kids to a sunset to her brand-new puppy to her new deck and on and on. Sometimes it's all a bit much because she shares this stuff in texts constantly. It is ALL RAINBOWS all the time.

I am going through some issues with my parents right now and just beginning to feel annoyed by her constant Pollyanna-ness. I also want to do some internal work on my envy. Anyone been there and have ideas?[/quote]

I have some people in my life like this, including my SIL.
This is though, I know she calls her mom 2-5x a day to vent or get advice or be worried with. 
She’s great at the “never let them see you sweat” BS but is only authentic with a few old friends and her mom. 
Meanwhile, tons of posts, pics, and gushy accolades online. But they don’t bother me, being positive is good. But I know she gets real too, and makes mistakes.  I’m just not her go to person or that, nor do I want to be! [/quote]
