Sometimes I feel jealous of my husband.

I am glad you think this,because i think this so.To be mom and wife it is true hard and it is the most respected job on the earth,but you dont need to be jealous on him because think on this,he work to make a better life for you and your childrens be glad and encourage him,be a good wife and you will have your own dole.

We couldn't help sometimes to envy others. Knowing you ahve more than that person still that person has a better situation. I believe no matter how good you were in college doesn't matter now or should I say focus on new strategies. People these days use different strategies and work hard to have a good job regardless of the qualifications they have.

You are absolutely right. Being a good mom and wife is one of the best professions in the world. You have got two wonderful kids and if you help them achieve their potential that is more rewarding than what any career can give you.

Well your right God has plans for you and right now you just need to be grateful for what you have right now. Having two wonderful kids and a loving husband is an achievement already for you. Being a good mother and wife to your family is enough for you to feel happy and loved. So whatever jealousy you have just keep it to yourself at try looking at what you already have and achieve as a loving wife and mother to you children. Happy mother's day to you and your family.

I understand your feeling but at least you recognize HIS plan for you. You can be of great use too for your kids, your intelligent will not be wasted since they have you to be their teacher right? or maybe time will come you will be working in your respective field when your kids will start going to school! Got to be thankful to have them and your ability as your wonderful blessings! Happy posting!

Hi there! I know that you are feeling a bit down about this but I assure you that having no job does not make you less of a person. Think of it this way, you are lucky to have two great kids and a husband who supports you and loves you. I think it is way better than having a job. Life is all about timing and if the opportunity comes then grab it. But for now, be happy with what you have.

oh yeah it is okay dear. i know of many women who have made that sacrifice and their families are very nice now. they have a nice home because there is a mom who takes care of it. be thankful that you have a loving husband who provides for you and you already have kids to take care of. eventually, when the kids will grow older, you can practice your profession. if you are interested in earning at home, i am also trying to build up my work at home program. visit my blog in my profile. that is how i earn,. :-)

its nice to know that your husband is a software engineer. but how come he has not finished college and become SW enginer? i ask it as i am also SW engg and i am engineer by degree. may be you are doing something great. its also tough to manage home.

I think the last person I would be jealous of on this earth would be my life partner, my husband. However well he does in his career is better for me. I left full time education at 17 and started work and worked my way up to where I am now, although I went to university later on and did evening classes to get my professional qualifications. I have friends who have PhDs and are my age who don't even earn as much as me but I hope they don't resent me just like I don't resent my younger brother who only got into IT about 7 years ago and is earning way more than me now (I don't work in IT but in HR). I am happy for him and glad he is able to build a good future. With you husband it's a different case altogether, you say you have two kids. You must love them a lot, imagine if things were different and you had to go out to work full time and support the family and your husband was at home being a full time house husband. Would you not then feel you were missing out on the best years of your kids growing up? Sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side but I feel I should be thankful what I have and feel proud of the people I love and what they achieve in life :)

You don't say what you studied in college. You know there are so many jobs now that people can do from home. I was just the opposite of your situation, my husband stayed home with the kids while I worked. I would resent him so much sometimes. He couldn't help it he had 4 major back surgeries, so he is disabled, but I wanted to be home with my baby so bad. Now I am home all the time too, and wish I were working again, LOL. I guess it's a case of always thinking the grass is greener on the other side. I would check out and see if there were any job opportunities in the field you studied, you may have to do a little brush up, but hey you can do that. I wish you luck.

I feel jealous of my girlfriend because she has a very very good boyfriend,aha...

hello nilanym, i think it is just normal to feel that way specially with all the stuff going on at home as well as outside. at least you are aware that your position right now is worth everything and that you are doing a great job being a mom and wife. the fact that your husband is working and doing great in his work despite his lack of diploma should make you more happy and hope it erases such negative feeling in your side. all you have to think whenever you're feeling this way is that it is for your family and all of you will benefit from it no matter what happen. i think it will be best to find something that you really like and will enhance your knowledge even if you are at home. you can study or learn something new online and even just by reading. it will help you a lot to grow and learn something new and even old and hopefully that wont make you feel like your brain/knowledge is stuck. i hope you find the peace and the happiness to whatever you do. wish you all the best. takecare!

Nature has its own way of things. I have also experienced such a situation some friends of mine who got poor grades in collage but have great jobs. I'd encourage you to hold on you'll get a job some day.

You and your spouse are one flesh as you have been united by God in a holy matrimony. Therefore, don't be jealous, because his success is also yours. Be supportive and pray for him even more so that he will be more successful in life. With regard to your desire to get a job. Pray for it and trust God to give your desire. "Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desire of thine heart".

Well, I think you should be greatful for what you have, which is more than what a lot of others have. Be thankful that he has such a wonderful job to support the family with. Love means more than money!

I think that you are very realistic person and it's good becouse you see always the best site.

I can really understand how you feel, especially when you have more qualifications and feel as if you are languishing without a purpose. But you have a great purpose now: your children, and they don't stay young forever. Thanks mainly to your help and guidance, they can expect a better future. I guess you are beginning to feel bored perhaps because they are not as young as before to occupy you. Have you thought of doing anything part-time or freelance? Something that will make you feel you are using your talents so there is no time to feel jealous? just a little bit to start using your brains again and to feel wanted could make you feel much better about things. But try not to be jealous because that is not a positive emotion. It is very negative an could have consequences you don't expect. So don't grudge your husband anything, just try and do something else with your own life, no matter how small, and you won't feel so useless or unused. Good luck. :o)

Sorry but I think it silly to be jealous, especially of a Partner! I had a much better education than my hubby but gave up any chance of a Career to be a Stay at home Mum. I encouraged him to better himself and he joined the RAF and studied Electronics. He worked hard because he was doing it not just for himself but for his family. He left school with no qualifications at all, not because he was stupid but because he hated the enviroment. Once my children grew up I could have taken up the teaching I thought I wanted before, instead I became a full time carer for my Parents, and after they passed away made it my 'job'. I love it and wouldn't want to do anything else, and don't think it a waste of my knowledge or education. Your Children won't need you forever and you will still have time to make a Career for yourself later if you so wish, but till then enjoy the challenges Motherhood brings. You can perhaps find a way to put your knowledge to good use whilst you wait!

Be glad that you have a wonderful husband who is willing to go out and work and provide for his family, he truly is a real man, I know some men, that don't think that way. And be glad that you are able to stay home and take care of your family, alot of women wished that they could do that, and didn't have to work. Like me, I have a wonderful husband that takes care of me, I like being home and taking care of the house. There are some that work alot too, I have a sister, she works all the time, even on her days off, she'll volunteer to go in if they need her, she's a nurse, but the thing is she has 2 boys and a husband, and her boys miss her. They are always telling me that she don't ever do anything with them or take them anywhere, because she just sleeps or she's at work. I know they have bills to pay, but you need to spend some time with your family, especially if you've got young kids...so anyway, be glad that you are there for them when they need you....Happy Mother's Day to you.....

I really admire your husband, which comfirms me that education is not the most important, but the ability. You have a nice husband, two wonderful kid, that's a happy family, that's enough.You say you are jealous of your husband sometime, that's not jealous, but pround of you husband! ^^
