Jealous of Furloughed Co-workers

70% of my company have been furloughed, on 95% pay ( 80% from the government and 15% from our company) I have been sitting at home, working all day for 3 weeks now, for 5% more pay. It's hard and I haven't been able to spend hardly any time with my children. Whenever I look on social media, all I can see are my furloughed co-workers having fun with their children, sunbathing in their gardens, catching up with chores. AIBU to feel so jealous, given that when this is all over, hopefully my job will be safe?

I currently work in a school doing 3 jobs. My main job is assistant cook in the kitchen. Scince lockdown the other 3 members of staff have been on furlough in full pay. In the meantime muggins here has been working the kitchen on my own. Although we haven’t been feeding many at all I have had to do things which isn’t normally my job eg paperwork, orders etc. This really wouldn’t bother me but the cook is sat at home earning an extra £2 an hour than myself yet I’m doing her jobs. Just about had enough now
