Jealousy over daughter's financial situation

I think with each generation there is more ability to improve life. Thinking back to just my parents, born in the early 1900, outside toilets, no hot water on tap etc etc, wartime to deal with and so on and it is not so long ago. They wanted what was best for us as we want the best for our children and grandchildren and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone what they have managed to achieve in life through hard work.

So glad she had a chat and mentioned a Disney holiday with you all together! Lovely to have that to look forward to.

Why are GN repeating threads that we’ve seen before? This one as well as two others today have been featured in the week or two.
I look forward to the daily posts and it’s disappointing to see old threads appearing again.

HannahLoisLuke this happens when there is a new comment on an old thread. Like yours! ?

You have one less worry. Imagine if they were, in fact, struggling and you couldn’t help them? They are also in a position to help you if you should one day need it even though we don’t like to think of having to depend on children.

I totally understand how you feel, seems a natural reaction. I left home at 16, had absolutely nothing just got very ancient already worn out things. Went through some time of real hardship. Including getting battered. Then when remarried had some hard times financially, remember burning the stair rail for warmth. My daughter has never experienced any hardship whatsoever. She is also constantly pampered, never happened to me once even when unwell. Worse of it is she's compared us as being similar in endurance etc?. I'm not jealous of her just conscious of the massive difference.

Gosh, my children both earn six figure sums a year and I feel nothing but pride that they are doing so well. I would assume that most parents would be happy if their children were doing well.
I don’t know what to advise OP, jealousy eats you up.

Well none of mine earn anything like those amounts, nor are they ever likely to.
They're all keyworkers doing vital jobs for the country, especially at this time.
I couldn't be more proud of them.
