[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are spending both Thanksgiving and Christmas with my husbands family which means I get a solid month of me feeling inferior to my SIL.  DH twin sister is a surgeon and married to what my family considers the “perfect Mom”.   We both had our oldest within the same months, both boys now 3-years-old.  I also have a 10 month old and she and my brothers sister have 18-month-old twins.   We both stay at home.  She loves it and flourishes, I struggle and miss work.  She was a former nanny so it comes easier to her and her income wouldn’t be worth it for her to keep working.  I was laid off before my oldest turned 1 and decided to stay home.  I have a MBA and was making 6 figures, we totally had to change our lifestyle.  My children act up, hers are always perfect.  My MIL will be sure to comment on how I handle situations wrong.  I am jealous, and do not look forward to being compared when I should be enjoying the holidays.  I know most of the issues stem from my own issues, I’ll admkt it.  It’s like we’ve done a 180.  5 years ago DH and I were doing great financially and traveling all over the world.  We had a nice apartment and wonderful careers.  DHs sister and my SIL were living in a tiny one bedroom barely squeaking by on a nanny salary while DHs sister finished her residency.  Now she’s living she wanted, and I am trying to but just can’t make it look as well.  Im pretty sure MIL favors their children as well.  Which I find ironic considering she was upset they were even going to have children anyways.  [/quote]

You probably lost your job because you're illiterate and incapable of basic English.  I'm sure she's better than you at that too.[/quote]

What? I see a few errors that could easily be typos or autocorrect.
