[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it makes you feel better, at least you have the husband!  I don't, so I'm trying to raise my daughter in an expensive area on less than $100K salary.  And no time/money to date since I have primary (most days) custody.)  Most of my friends are either married with kids and pretty well-off or single and child-free and pretty well-off.  I don't get to do much either.

Feel better?  It could be worse.  And this could be temporary.  Try to see it as a phase on the way to better things.[/quote]

What a truly obnoxious post. [/quote]

Why?  It's called perspective.  (Not the PP)[/quote]

Because it lacks empathy.  And frames the issue as "who is more miserable?"  OP is allowed to feel bad and depressed, even if others have it worse.  SHe was looking for support and how to regain perspective.  Some of the posters have done that in a way that is empathetic, reasonable, and helpful.  The vast majority have not.  Rather, they spew their jealous barbs and insults.  It's disgusting and unnecessary.  [/quote]

Ok, just didn't think this particular post was that bad. Empathy can be hard to give if you haven't been in that position. Shrug.[/quote]

That is what empathy is all about. You don't have to experience what the person is going through to have empathy. I'm not even remotely in the OPs position and can see where she is coming from. [/quote]
