Yesterday I went to my grandmother's house for a family dinner, and my cousin's girlfriend announced that she is pregnant. Of course, I congratulated them, and asked all the appropriate questions, but inside I was a little bit jealous. I have never felt that way after someone announced their pregnancy so it caught me a little by surprise. The voice in my head was saying, "Why does SHE get to have a baby, they aren't even responsible!" and then of course I felt super guilty about it.
Do any of you ever find the green-eyed monster popping up when other people announce their good news? Like I said, this has never happened to me before, so I need to do some thinking about why I had that kind of reaction.
