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!

The ability of people with perfect hearing to just nip in and out of conversations without feeling permanently out of the loop.

Girls in my primary school who had pierced ears. I was absolutely sick with envy and when I eventually did have mine done, age 16, I had built it up in my head so much that I couldn’t eat on the big day and fainted when the first ear was done.

People with allergies. No idea why.

Guess who developed allergies as she grew older...?

As a child I was very jealous of anyone at school who was off with German measles. I thought it was extremely glamorous and exotic.

I really, really wanted Lego but wasn’t allowed as my brother liked it. I used to sneak in his room to play with it. May explain why my DC are swarming in the stuff.

My late DP's eyelashes. They were long, and thick, and jet black.

Kelly McGillis' hair in Top Gun. Curly blonde bob. As a short haired ginger teen.

I was jealous of any kid who had a cast and/or had to use crutches at school. I suppose it was an attention thing. People fussed over them and wanted to sign their casts l...and crutches looked like fun.
My poor friend at primary school had an operation on her hip and was on crutches for weeks. I was green eyed about it, little weirdo that I was!

I remember in primary school being jealous of a younger child who was given chocolate digestives during class!
She was diabetic though.

I was jealous of people who had SAHM's as a child, when I came home from school I would be picked up by a nanny as both my parents would work, looking back I don't know why, as it's allowed them to live a great life and retire early, as well as being able to afford better experiences for us as a family (we used to holiday a lot more than mine and DB's friends as a child, so the family time we got was much more special. It devastated me as a child though, and I hated that people thought my nanny was my mum!

I was very jealous of white skin, still am sometimes.

People who could eat cake etc in parties and have as much as they wanted (type one diabetic).

The boy who sat next to me in maths in Year 7, he had kickers and I really really wanted a pair, my shoes were from Jonathan James, are they still going?

Omg kickers! I so wanted a pair of kickers. Never got them had cheap market shoes

The girl who had some degree of learning development delays so was allowed to colour in whilst we had to do English, history etc. I used to play at being her at home with my colouring books

Whenever anyone had a cast... I always wanted one but never got hurt badly enough to need one!

My friend had a blue glass pebble (the sort people used to put in those bowls if they were too cool to fill them with pot pourri). I kept trying to swap her anything and everything for it.
Pretty sure you can buy like 50 of those pebbles in a bag in the Pound shop FFS.

I used to be jealous AF of Bernard and his watch. Every morning before school is dream of having a magic watch that I could use to stop time and have a huge lay in.

As a kid: friends with mild mums who baked them cakes.
As a teenager: skinny girls who tanned easily. (I am plump and go straight to burnt)
As an adult: women with husbands who do DIY and buy their wives flowers.

In primary 7 I was jealous of my mates who wore glasses, I even tried to fail my eye test to get glasses, but I never got them lol

I was always jealous of the kids in primary school who had "brand" crisps like McCoys or Walkers. My DSis and I got Tesco crisps in our lunchbox and we were always mortified.
As a child, you don't consider the fact that certain things cost more!
I was also so jealous of my best mates hair. I have frizzy, bushy dirty fair hair that requires a proper blow dry or straighten every time it's washed. Her was slinky, straight and shiny blonde☹️

People who had fathers who spoke to them. I only realised this was a thing at secondary school, when a friend had her 12th birthday party and her father came ice skating and played cards and joked with us. I was shocked and really jealous.

My cousin fell over and cut herself and had to have butterfly stitches, lucky cow

Oh and I had a friend who had a SINK in her bedroom!!! A sink!!! With a mirror and vanity unit. My god I was livid with jealousy.

Oddly, my friends inhaler. I really wanted one

@itchyfinger

I was jealous of the kids in school who had asthma, they used to get "special" treatment and go to the nurses room every day for their inhaler

Hahahaj I was one of those kids 🤣🤣. Got out of PE aswell

I had a friend at Primary school who lived in a caravan. This was in a fairly crap town in central Scotland not a seaside resort so I definitely meant her family probably were in a pretty bad situation, but I loved going on holiday to a caravan at the beach...!

@paddyclamp2

Anyone who had a Mr Frosty!

I was given one in adulthood. It's shite!
