[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should hide your SIL's feed. You shouldn't have had a baby if you weren't fully prepared to fully support it. What people choose to do for some is none of your business. Tons of people go through periods of time when they can't afford fancy trips to Italy, or even ever go to Italy. [/quote]

We can afford to have a baby and our house, we just can’t afford international travel on top of those things right now. Maybe when daycare gets a little less expensive. It just sucks to see my SIL going on 3 of my dream trips a year plus living in an expensive city without roommates and not having to work for any of it. Cause she has anxiety which surveys say ~ 80% of the population has. [/quote]

Maybe hers is worse than that 80%. You don't know. Where will your jealousy end? Say you got the trips too - would you still be bitter the inlaws aren't paying for your daycare? For nice jewelry? For house construction? Would you then turn your attention to a coworker who has a second home? A friend who gets a car you admire?  Where does it stop for you?  Focus on what you have. Be proud you can provide for yourself, and be grateful for what you are given as a gift. HIDE HER FEED. [/quote]
