I've just spent 4 hours + mowing my lawns and one of them is on an incline. As I hadn't done it for 6 weeks or so it was long and it's taken me ages to get it short today. I know it's my own fault btw

Anyway, while I was red faced, sweaty and pushing my mower through the long grass on sodding said incline, neighbour comes and mows his well manicured garden on his ride on mower. I am v v v jealous! I want a ride on mower!! Can't afford

What are you jealous of?

I can crochet and sew to an expert level but I would love to be able to knit to the same standard.

I can knit but find it difficult to focus on whereas I can crochet in the dark it’s so easy!

People with a cleaner! I hate, hate, hate housework.

People who have partners who carry their share of the mental load.

I haven't yet come across someone this lucky. I think it's an urban myth that such a partner exists. I am also jealous of this.

I'm jealous of people who are just naturals
at driving, parking etc and don't get anxious every time they have to drive anywhere they don't know really well!

My husband right now. He weekly commutes (in the Army). He went away early Monday. DD developed Covid symptoms on Friday, (Positive test). So I have to stay at home for the next week and a bit... whereas he has two weekends with no responsibility whatsoever in his work accommodation, with friends.

Fortunately both children are well. But they are bouncing off the walls. He already knows that in two weekends time, I'm the one allowed out.

My friend has just got an au pair.
I'm seriously jealous.

Anyone with a nice car / car worth more than £5,000+

I’ve never had a car that cost more than £4,000
Yet the roads are full of cars that cost £20k plus.

Well,most!

stealingbeauty · 26/09/2021 19:13

Women with lovely MILs

Shirleyphallus · 26/09/2021 19:16

People that can sing. In my head I’m Mariah, in reality I’m a bag of cats being banged against the wall wishing someone would find a speedy and painless death.

Dishwasheverything · 26/09/2021 19:17

People who are natural early birds and get stuff done in the morning and are just ready for the day. I force myself to get up early and doing the school run is an ORDEAL every ruddy time because me, DH and both DCs are night owls.

Pieceofpurplesky · 26/09/2021 19:19

People who can afford to live in a nice house and have new things. I just scrape a mortgage!

Bimblybomeyelash · 26/09/2021 19:19

I’m jealous of you with your multiple lawns that take 4 hours to mow!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 26/09/2021 19:20

People who see food merely as fuel, and not a 'treat'.

Imissmoominmama · 26/09/2021 19:21

People my age who planned well, financially, and have retired.

UuijungKo · 26/09/2021 19:28

People who are thin!
And eat whatever they want....

Comedycook · 26/09/2021 19:32

People with interfering mils...mine couldn't be less interested in us

bobsholi · 26/09/2021 19:33

I'm jealous of people who can do normal everyday tasks without having a breakdown inside their head. I'm terrifed when ordering in a restaurant, or trying to pull onto a roundabout, or making a phone call. It's so horrible spending your life in utter panic.

Halleshair · 26/09/2021 19:35

My partners abillity to fall asleep in 10 mins, im usually awake into the early hours.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 26/09/2021 19:37

people with A Good Eye, who can put together outfits or home renovations in a way I'd never have thought of, but look brilliant. everything I do is either boring or hodgepodge.

WormYourHonour · 26/09/2021 19:37

Women that can glide along in beautiful heeled shoes and look amazing...
I have as much grace and poise as a rhino stood only on their back legs. I look pretty ridiculous in dainty beautiful shoes.
