To ask what is the most ridiculous thing you’ve been jealous of?

[Chillidoritto]

As a child I was ridiculously jealous of my 3 little brothers for being boys! Not the usual sibling jealousy but because they got to wear trousers all the time, even for weddings when I got made to wear a frilly dress. They got the type of trainers I wanted when I was stuck with girly ones. But most of all because they had a willy and got to wee standing up! 😂

I used to put a chapstick in my knickers and say it was my willy, to somehow try and compensate!!

My parents (and brothers) love to remind me about this!

ladies with toned upper arms, I have awful bingo wings

One of the mums at school is a friend on facebook and she is the type who every time she farts has to post it.

Anyway- she was putting up all the exotic holidays her family were going on and I was SO SO jealous.

But I read on MN once 'envy is a useful emotion because it tells you what you want' and it was a revelation to me. I immediately started up a separate holiday savings account and spent loads of time looking for good deals.

Since then we have been on a few family trips, and i am so so glad that my envy motivated me that way. :)

As a child though i was jealous of anyone who had a pony.

I was consumed with envy over my older sister’s green platform heel boots. Silver heel and platform, silver stars up the side.
