[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your therapist and thing the answer lies in your feelings about your own life. Maybe you dislike the rigidity of your work (maybe not the actual work, but having to be at work on a set schedule determined by someone else), and that's why it bothers you to see social media posts from times when you are at work. Or maybe you don't have enough time by yourself, which is why you are particularly triggered by SAHMs with school age kids, since they get to be alone while their kids are at school. Whatever it is, it's all about you and nothing about these other people really.

By the way, I work part time and have school age kids, and sometimes I actually think to myself "Oh, I won't post this photo of my kid now at 11am on a Tuesday because then people will assume I'm not working today or that I just sit around on social media all week." It's because I feel a bit self conscious about being "only" part time when most people I know are full time. I doubt most people would actually think about this (except maybe you) if they saw my post, and if they did, who cares? The question is whether I'm happy in my life or not. And the truth is, I'm feeling a little bored and have been thinking I'd like to see if I can find a way to go full time or at least work more hours, because I think my insecurity is being driven by having too much free time during the week when most people are at work. But that's about me -- it's not the fault of my friends who have full time jobs.[/quote]
